Thank
you,
as
many
of
you
already
know,
a
severna
park
high
school
student
passed
away
last
friday.
I
can
only
imagine
the
pain,
his
family,
friends
and
teachers
are
feeling
and
our
hearts
go
out
to
all
of
them.
May
his
memory
be
a
blessing
in
the
wake
of
this
tragic
event.
Our
trauma
teams
mobilized
immediately
and
offered
support
not
only
to
the
family,
but
were
on
site
first
thing
monday
morning
to
assist
both
students
and
staff.
B
A

C
I
just
wanted
to.
I
just
wanted
to
share
that.
I
had
a
chance
to
attend
the
southern
alumni
scholarship
foundation's
annual
meeting,
and
I
just
wanted
to
do
an
accolade,
because
this
is
an
occasion
where
the
communities
all
get
together
every
member
of
the
community
from
every
way
shape
and
form
and
from
the
businesses
to
the
to
the
local
residents,
and
they
have
a
blast
every
year
in
five
years
they've
raised.
D
I
was
having
about,
hence
the
coffee
at
there.
D
There
there
you
go,
although
my
kids
do
attend
south
river.
I
do
have
pride
for
my
folks,
so
my
apologies
for.
A
Your
president
and
fellow
members,
okay,

2.06
educator

mrs
hummer.
E
The
national
education
association's
read
across
america
day
is
a
nationwide
reading
celebration
that
takes
place
annually
on
march
2nd
dr
seuss's
birthday
across
the
country,
thousands
of
schools,
libraries
and
community
centers
participate
by
bringing
together
kids,
teens
and
books
to
celebrate,
and
this
morning
the
board
of
education
celebrates
read
across
america
day
by
recognizing
a
fantastic
reading.
Teacher
kathleen
smith
reading
specialist
at
fort
smallwood
elementary
school
is
all
about.
Reading
she
implements
reading
initiatives
that
benefit
students,
staff
and
the
fort
smallwood
community.
E
She
implements
reading
intervention
groups
with
fidelity
demonstrating
very
enthusiastically
how
to
read
how
to
understand
what
is
being
read
and,
most
importantly,
how
to
really
enjoy
reading
every
other
week.
Mrs
smith
leads
collaborative
planning
sessions
for
each
grade
level,
where
she
provides
real-time
data
to
promote
the
highest
level
of
differentiated
reading
instruction.
She
analyzes
the
data
before
each
meeting
and
asks
each
teacher
how
to
attack
these
needs
by
designing
strategy
groups
to
promote
student
understanding
of
reading
standards.
E
Kathleen
helps
to
create
the
lessons
each
stat
strategy
group
will
focus
on
and
takes
it
one
step
further
by
taking
on
a
strategy
group
herself
to
help
support
the
students
and
teachers
in
her
building
teachers
at
fort
smallwood
benefit
from
kathleen's
coaching
schedule,
which
is
tailored
to
the
individual
needs
of
each
teacher
and
their
unique
group
of
students
bi-weekly.
She
visits
each
classroom,
teacher's,
guided
reading
class
to
coach
teachers
in
refining
the
implementation
of
rigorous
structures
and
routines
after
each
coaching
session.
E
She
helps
each
teacher
with
next
steps,
whether
it
be
anchor
charts,
word
walls
or
to
help
design
lesson
plans
in
the
four
years
since
mrs
smith
assumed
the
role
of
reading
special
at
fort
small
smallwood
elementary
school,
the
school's
reading
scores
have
skyrocketed,
standardized,
test,
scores
and
quarterly
benchmark.
Reading
scores
have
seen
steady
increases
with
her
at
the
helm
of
the
reading
initiatives
at
her
school.
One
of
her
colleagues
stated
the
numbers
speak
for
themselves
and
the
growth
is
evident.
E
Mrs
smith
is
often
referred
to
as
the
in-house
therapist
at
fort
smallwood.
Her
patients,
empathy
and
kindness
go
far
in
a
profession
where
teachers
need
just
as
much
emotional
supports
as
their
students,
and
she
provides
it
whenever
needed.
Students
light
up
when
mrs
smith
walks
in
the
classroom.
Her
energy
is
magnetic
kathleen
smith
in
a
school
district
where
the
motto
all
means
all
takes
the
forefront.
E
You
demonstrate
that
each
day
you
believe
that
every
community,
member
teacher
and
student
deserves
special
attention,
care
and
opportunity
to
be
an
important
member
of
our
learning
community,
and
so,
for
these
reasons
and
more,
the
board
of
education
is
honored
to
recognize
you
educator
of
the
month
for
march
2019..
Congratulations.
G
Oh
well
how
they
get
you
here
this
morning
I
have
a
four
egate
liners
here.
We
are
supposed
to
be
looking
at
learning
that
process.
E
G
G
Who
all
is
here
my
family,
my
husband
and
two
children?
My
administrator
and
one
of
my
colleagues
and
our
wonderful
reading
coordinator
and
reading
team
of
my
cluster
contact
well
fabulous.
Well
we're.
E
G
E
C
If
anyone
who
had
visited
south
southern
middle
school
can
attest
the
school
is
very
well
maintained
from
floor
to
ceiling
the
school
is
and
span
clean.
The
exterior
of
the
school
is
pretty
any
time
of
year
and
the
overall
appearance
adds
to
a
positive
school
climate,
and
I
may
note
a
positive
community
client
climate
as
well.
C
C
Francine
manages
the
night
custodian
crew
with
flexibility
and
ease,
despite
a
variety
of
disruptions
that
can
occur.
She
knows
the
schools
and
the
grounds
like
the
back
of
her
own
hand,
she's
highly
proficient
at
managing
resources
throughout
our
school
whenever
there
is
a
problem
that
needs
her
attention.
Francine
is
always
goes
above
and
beyond
to
get
the
problem
resolved.
C
She
gives
teachers
and
staff
the
comfort
level
that,
if
something's
missing,
broken
or
needed
francine
will
come
to
the
rescue
when
school-wide
events
are
being
planned,
francine
often
has
a
solution
or
insight
that
bears
consideration
in
planning
and
organizing
the
event.
She
is
a
team
player
and
very
dependable
francine
is
a
friendly
face
at
the
end
of
each
school
day
and
no
matter
what
she's
doing
she
always
takes
time
to
send
teachers
home
with
a
very
big
bright
smile.
C
C
She
strives
for
excellence
in
all
tasks,
big
and
small,
and
keeps
working
until
things
are
completed
to
perfection,
she's,
reliable,
friendly
and
helpful,
and
is
an
excellent
role
model
for
her
team
members,
as
well
as
the
larger
school
community,
she's
always
willing
to
lend
a
hand
and
always
quick
to
offer
a
smile.
I
can
personally
attest
to
this.
I
use
southern
middle
school
for
several
events,
and
not
only
did
she
call
back
before,
just
almost
any
other
school
ever
did
with
me
was
willing
to
work.
C
There
was
willing
to
come
in
at
9
00
pm
if
something
went
wrong
and
made
sure
that
everything
was
in
such
precise
order.
I
want
to
personally
thank
her
for
when
I
worked
for
the
county
of
the
support
that
she
provided
me
personally
in
my
and
my
staff
francine,
your
easy
natured
quiet
leadership,
demands
respect
from
everyone
and
deserves
this
recognition
today.
So,
on
behalf
of
the
board
of
education,
the
students,
teachers
and
staff
of
anne
arundel
county
public
schools,
we
thank
you
for
your
commitment
to
aecps.
C
I
And

is
here
with
you
today,
my
family
just
came
in
my
son,
my
sister's
and
her
fiance

B
B
From
newsletter
publisher
to
community
ambassador
to
co-chair
of
the
reading
is
magic
incentive
program.
Mrs
tucker
plays
multiple
roles
at
west
annapolis
elementary
school
every
sunday
night,
mrs
tucker
types,
and
sends
out
a
pta
newsletter
full
of
pta
and
school
news
to
all
families
at
the
school.
She
is
passionate
about
getting
families
involved
and
she's,
quick
to
advertise
the
ways
parents
can
volunteer
to
help
in
their
child's
classroom.
Principal
jennifer
bennett
shares
mrs
tucker
has
always
been
on.
B
The
pta
executive
has
has
also
been
on
the
pta
executive
board
for
two
years
and
part
of
their
vision
is
more
community
involvement
in
making
all
parents
feel
as
if
they
belong
to
our
school
and
community.
They
have
planned
a
new
student
and
family
social
and
purchased
every
new
student
at
west
annapolis
spirit
wear
shirt.
B
I
could
not
ask
for
a
more
welcoming
and
inviting
community
getting
children
excited
about.
Reading
is
also
one
of
mrs
tucker's
passions.
Reading
teacher
kelly
fortune
reports,
I
chair
our
reading
as
magic
reading
incentive
program
and
mrs
tucker
took
on
the
role
not
only
as
a
volunteer
but
as
my
co-chair,
having
her
support
and
planning
and
the
actual
execution
of
the
program
helps
support
our
reading
initiative,
funding
of
prizes
and
recognition
decorating
and
creating
an
atmosphere
of
excitement
about
literacy.
None
of
these
roles
are
taken
on
without
a
great
amount
of
work.

President
katie
cook
says,
while
many
people
recognize
jamie's
physical
impact
on
the
school,
with
the
implementation
of
spirit
sticks
and
her
work
on
our
annual
fall
festival.
I
know
all
of
the
hours
she
spends
at
the
computer
to
make
those
events
come
to
life.
Jamie
is
the
master
of
detail.
She
builds
spreadsheets,
coordinates
our
school
directory
and
ensures
all
communication
platforms
are
accessible
to
our
volunteers.
B
Ms
cook
sums
it
up
by
saying
jamie
tucker
is
some
is
simply
put
one
of
the
most
dedicated
volunteers.
I
have
ever
I've
ever
come
across.
Mrs
tucker,
you
are
both
you're
an
asset
to
both
west
annapolis
elementary
and
the
anne
arundel
county
public
schools
community.
We
are
truly
grateful
for
your
years
of
service
as
a
volunteer
because
of
volunteers
like
you,
we
are
better
together.
Would
you
please
come
forward?
It's
with
great
appreciation
that
I
would
like
to
present
the
volunteer
of
the
month
certificate
in.
G
Pta
presidents,
we
needed.
D
A
K
K
L
L
I'd
like
to
offer
a
thank
you
to
the
dr
rolotto
for
arranging
a
visit
for
me
to
central
central,
elementary
school
mayo,
elementary
school
and
cat
south,
and
also
extend
a
personal.
Thank
you
to
principal
grubel
fitzgerald
and
rose
is
a
tremendous
visit
and
I'd
like
to
thank
the
staff,
the
teachers
and
all
involved
for
a
very
informative
and
very
rewarding
time
spent
in
our
schools.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you.
I
also
attended
a
tribute
to
women
of
color
event
and
it
was
spectacular
such
bright
shining
stars
in
our
future
and
they're
all
going
to
be
tremendous
in
any
endeavor
that
they
take
on,
and
it
was
just
an
amazing.
It
was
an
amazing
morning.
I
also
had
the
pleasure
and
I'd
like
to
thank
dr
alato
for
allowing
me
to
accompany
him
on
four
of
the
five
teacher
of
the
year
visits.
B
That
was
amazing,
and
it
was
amazing
to
be
part
of
that
surprise
and
to
see
the
joy
on
their
faces,
and
the
the
most
priceless
moment,
of
course,
was
the
reaction
of
the
children's
faces
to
their
teacher.
Getting
that
accolade
and
a
lot
of
this
you
know
it
was
it
was.
It
was
amazing,
and
I
really
truly
appreciate
being
included
in
that
and
participating
in
in
that
wonderful
event.
So
thank
you.
E
Yes,
I
also
got
to
take
part
in
a
couple
of
the
visits
for
the
teacher
of
the
year
finalists
and
that's
always
one
of
my
favorite
mornings.
I
know
it's
one
of
dr
arlatta's
favorite,
surprising
teachers
and
to
see
the
kids
reactions
that
the
third
grade
class
we
went
into
those
kids
were
so
excited
for
their
teacher.
They
were
just
bursting,
and
so
that
is
just
always
great
to
see
not
only
to
recognize
these
great
teachers
but
to
see
firsthand
the
impact
they're
having
on
their
kids
and
how
much
it
means
to
students.
E
I
also
friday,
I
love
being
able
to
recognize
our
educator
of
the
month.
As
reading
teacher
for
read
across
america
day
friday
for
read
across
america
day,
I
visited
two
schools,
maryland's
broadbridge
elementary
and
monarch
global
and
read
to
four
different
classes
from
kindergarten
through
fifth
grade
very
different
to
read
from
kindergarteners
into
fifth
graders.
I
read
the
same
books,
they
loved
them.
Just
as
much
I
mean
it
was,
it
was
great.
Everybody
loves
naked
mole
rat
gets
dressed.
You
have
to
love
that
book,
so
it
was.
E
It
was
a
great
time,
and
it
was
also
the
first
time
that
I
was
able
to
see
broadbridge
elementary,
since
it
was
totally
completed
with
adding
walls,
and
I
just
have
to
say
hats
off
to
our
facilities,
people.
It
is
amazing,
it's
so
different.
It's
like
a
different
building
and
it
makes
such
a
difference
in
the
learning
environment,
and
I
know
that
we
sometimes
get
into
oh
it's
too
expensive
for
renovations
and
things
like
that.
It
makes
a
huge
difference.
E
It
makes
a
difference
in
how
children
can
learn
and
the
environment
that
they're
in
and
while
of
course,
I
will
always
wish
that
it
was
done.
While
my
children
were
there.
I
am
thrilled
for
the
children
now
that
have
that
and
the
teachers
that
have
that,
and
it's
just
beautiful.
So
thank
you
to
facilities
for
that.
J
I
also
had
the
opportunity
to
go
to
the
tribute
to
women
of
color
and
seeing
all
those
future
leaders
of
our
of
anne
arundel
county
public
school
students
just
going
up
there
and
thanking
all
the
donors
for
the
very
generous
scholarships.
It
was
just
really
inspiring
because
I
knew
tons
of
those
plenty
of
those
students
there
and
just
to
hear
their
aspirations
and
just
their
gratitude
of
this
scholarship,
because
college
is
very
expensive.
J
So
it
was
just
amazing
talking
to
them
about
their
aspirations
and
their
goals
and
hearing
how
everything
they've
done
in
their
community
is
now
being
rewarded
to
them,
and
that
allows
them
to
continue
with
that.
So
it
was
very
inspiring.
And
then
I
also
had
an
amazing
opportunity
with
other
crass
students
to
go
to
the
kickoff
of
the
new
curriculum
nights
last
two
wednesdays
ago
or
last
wednesday,
talking
about
implicit
bias
and
elementary
school
student
books.
J
C
Now,
at
the
right
moment
in
time,
I
just
had
two
additions
very
quickly.
I
I
was.
I
was
fortunate
to
also
attend
the
women
of
color
scholarship
event,
and
you
know
those
kids
have
to
get
up
there
and
and
give
acknowledgement
speeches,
and
I
was
just
amazed
at
the
level
of
communication
skills
that
many
of
them
had
was
just
outstanding.
C
The
emcee.
I
just
wanted
to
call
him
out
because
he
was
he's
a
former
recipient
of
the
of
the
award
scholarship
and,
in
all
fairness,
he's
a
he's.
A
pastor
so
he's
a
little
bit
more
experienced
than
the
average
student,
but
he
was
still
he
kept
everybody
just
laughing
and
in
the
good
and
spirit
of
interest
of
the
event
itself
was
outstanding.
C
I
did
all
I
did
attend
the
district
7
town
hall
for
the
budget
that
the
county,
executive
and
councilwoman
jessica
hare
was
our
host
and
it
was
it's
always
great
to
hear
from
the
folks
and
and
what
they
have
to
say
about
the
budget.
And
so
I
thank
both
the
council
and
the
county
executive
for
hosting
these
in
their
local
districts.
A
Thank
you
seeing
no
further
lights,
we'll
move
to
superintendent's
update
dr
orlando.
M
Yes,
sir,
thank
you
very
much
just
a
couple
of
things
updates
for
the
board
and
others.
Mr
leib.
I
certainly
want
to
thank
you
for
making
those
school
visits.
I
look
forward
to
all
of
your
colleagues
getting
out
into
schools
and
visiting
the
schools
and
see
all
the
good
work
that's
going
on.
I
will
also,
since
you
mentioned
mr
rose
and
cat
south
in
that
visit,
I'm
going
to
give
your
colleagues
fair
warning
that
I
didn't
give
you
before.
M
While
he
was
being
recorded,
so
I
give
you
fair
warning,
you
will
immediately
be
ushered
before
you
can
see
any
of
the
students
and
you'll
be
required
to
cite
the
pledge
of
allegiance
for
for
for
future
use.
So
thank
you
for
for
playing.
I
do
also
want
to
mention.
I
just
want
to
add
quickly.
I
want
to
thank
you,
the
board
members
that
attended
the
event
the
tribute
women
color
luncheon,
scholarship
luncheon.
That
was
what
you
didn't
hear
any
of
the
board
members
mention,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
is
that
was
on
a
saturday.
M
They
gave
up
their
saturday
to
be
there,
and
that
speaks
volumes
to
our
students
and
our
families
that
you
were
there
to
celebrate
them.
This
was
a
celebration
of
our
students,
so
thank
you
for
giving
up
your
saturday
to
be
there.
Let
me
also
mention
that
there
were
34
of
our
students
that
were
awarded
scholarships
in
one
way,
one
form
or
another
through
29
sponsors,
totaling
43
900
in
one
morning,
and
I
just
think
that's
wonderful,
so
thank
you
for
being
there.
M
Let
me
also
say
that
in
the
past
month,
our
five
five
star
rated
schools
have
been
honored
on
the
floor
of
the
senate
through
the
sponsorship
of
senator
beidel,
so
central
middle
magathy,
river
middle
savannah
park,
high
school
severna
park,
middle
and
chesapeake
science
point
all
in
the
past
month
have
been
honored
on
the
floor
of
the
senate
as
being
five
star
schools.
So
our
hats
off
to
them.
That's
really
wonderful
work.
A
Thank
you,
sir.
Thank
you
and
our
final
item
before
we
break
for
the
the
recess
is
item
2.0.
I'm
sorry
2.11
cac
report,
mr
golly.
N
N
He
did
an
awesome
job
of
helping
us
get
a
sense
of
of
what
was
going
on
with
the
budget
this
year
and
that
sort
of
thing
I
think
it's
so
great
to
get
that
information
out
to
the
different
clusters
so
that
those
representatives
can
communicate
that
out
to
the
families
michelle
heim
was
there
as
well.
So
we
appreciate
your
information,
your
input
and
your
feedback.
N
We
always
love
when,
when
board
members
join
us
and
and
can
keep
us
updated
on,
what's
going
on
we're
going
to
continue
to
focus
on
our
subcommittee
work,
so
we
can
get
that
into
you
guys
before
the
end
of
the
year.
Some
of
the
big
topics
that
came
up
and
that
we'll
continue
to
talk
about
I'm
sure
and
spend
time
on
was
just
communication
channels
down
to
the
parents.

A

A
P
Good
morning,
president
gilliland
vice
president
and
dr
alato,
my
name
is
russell
leone
and
I'm
the
president
of
the
teachers
association
and
this
morning
I
just
wanted
to
talk
about
the
march
for
our
schools
that's
happening
on
monday
evening.
There
will
be
thousands
of
educators
converging
in
annapolis
from
across
the
state
to
urge
our
legislators
on
the
state
level
to
increase
funding
for
our
schools.
P
This
is
really
important
to
us,
because
it's
best
for
our
students
we're
pushing
for
more
counselors
psychologists
to
meet
the
needs
of
our
mental
health
services,
we're
pushing
for
more
planning
time
for
our
teachers
so
that
they
can
better
prepare
for
our
students
in
the
classroom,
and
that
does
take
money
and
so
we're
asking
our
state
legislators
to
put
more
education
funding.
So
it
can
come
back
to
us
here
in
anne
arundel
county.
So
I
urge
all
of
you
to
join
us.
P
In
annapolis,
the
rally
starts
at
6
pm
and
it
is
right
down
boulevard
you're
not
going
to
be
able
to
miss
us
we're
going
to
have
thousands
of
educators
and
educator
friends
wearing
red.
Please
join
us,
so
thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.
Mr
leone.
Q
Q
R
Awesome
report-
thank
you.
I
have
a
question
about.
There
is
within
the
county
police
department,
some
dedicated
youth
programs
and
a
youth
team
that
goes
out
into
the
community.
Are
we
engaging
with
them
at
all
or
do
we
do?
We
engage
with
them
in
any
kind
of
way
or
are
there
plans
to
start
engaging
with
them.
Q
M
J
Thank

ms

and
I
know
atlassian
advisory
right
after
everybody

There
was
great
feedback
and
everybody
was
like
so
amazed
with
the
work
that
you
guys
do.
So.
Thank
you
very
much
for
talking
about
that
last
meeting.
Thank
you
and
thank.
A
T
Good
morning,
president
gilman
vice
president
urea
members
of
the
board
and
dr
arlato
for
the
record.
I
am
sally
egan
assistant
superintendent
for
student
support
services,
and
I
am
joined
this
morning
by
ms
shirley
jackson,
avery
coordinator
of
school
counseling,
for
the
purpose
of
providing
a
monthly
update
on
bullying,
as
requested
as
ms
monique
jackson,
deputy
superintendent
indicated
in
february.
My
report
will
be
an
overview
of
how
our
elementary
counseling
curriculum
supports.
Anti-Bullying
counselors
provide
counseling
lessons
at
the
elementary
level
on
a
monthly
basis.
T
Our
first
quarter
topics
include
bullying,
prevention,
teasing
and
harassment,
as
well
as
positive
peer
relationships.
Counseling
lessons
are
the
most
age-appropriate
way
to
combat
bullying
at
the
elementary
level.
For
example,
a
fifth
grade
lesson
on
cyber
bullying
includes
several
modes
of
learning
such
as
reading
writing
and
visualization.
T
In
addition,
schools
engage
in
periodic
reviews
of
the
code
of
conduct
campaigns
such
as
unity
day
in
october,
kindness
awareness
and
redriven
week,
no
name
calling.
We
continue
to
emphasize
character,
education,
utilizing
monthly
themes,
counselors
work
with
small
groups
as
needed
to
promote
social
skills
as
needed
in
partnership
with
classroom
and
reading
teachers.
The
school
counselor
addresses
themes
such
as
bullying,
empathy
and
diversity
through
books
such
as
each
kindness
and
one.
T
R
Thank
you
very
much
for
for
that
report.
Could
you
please
tell
me
what
that
book?
The
name
of
that
book
was
again
please
each.
R
Thank
you,
you're
welcome.
Then
I
had
a
follower.
I
I
would
like
to
make
a
motion
not
directly
to
you
all,
but
I'm
still
concerned
with
the
bullying
reporting.
So
I
would
like
to
make
a
motion
that
we
introduce
a
pilot
of
the
texas
stop
it
program
in
our
middle
schools,
at
least
three
of
our
middle
schools.
I
think,
based
on
the
the
financials
that
I
got,
it
would
have
a
budget
impact
but
of
less
than
ten
thousand
dollars.
So
I'm
making
that
as
a
motion.
A
Okay,
we've
got
a
motion
and
a
second
we'll
open
up
to
discussion.
M
Doctor
sure,
if
I
could
add
ms
sancho,
I
know
you-
and
I
have
had
a
conversation
about
this
on
an
earlier
occasion-
one
of
the
things
that
we
have
concerns
about
implementing
yet
another.
This
would
be
a
third
way
of
reporting.
Bullying
in
other
incidents
is
the
confusion
it
could
cause
for
our
students
and
our
parents
and
our
community.
We
have
had
a
a
24
7
reporting
mechanism
and
a
third
party
vendor
that
helps
us
vet.
Those
they
go
through
our
office
of
safety
and
security.
M
We've
had
that
in
anne
arundel
county
for
a
number
of
years,
the
state,
through
the
governor
and
his
and
and
legislation
that
passed
a
year
ago
to
implement
a
new
maryland
safe
schools,
reporting
mechanism,
another
hotline
that
has
also
been
implemented.
So
now
we
have
two
that
we
in
anne
arundel
county
are
using.
M
I've
got
a
concern
about
adding
yet
a
third
and
confusing
our
students
and
our
parents
and
community
members
about
which
one
to
report
and
how
we
can
best
monitor
those
we
are
sort
of
taking
the
lead
on
the
state,
because
the
governor's
law
and
I'm
part
of
the
advisory
board
for
the
state
on
these
issues
about
what
will
be
the
one
mechanism.
So
many
of
the
school
systems
have
two
mechanisms
now
because
they
had
one
previous
earlier
now
with
the
governor's
law
a
year
ago.
R
R
I'm
saying
that
we
introduced
another
mechanism
to
align
with
how
the
students
communicate
and
right
now
what
was
reported
previously
was
that
the
the
utilization
of
those
mechanisms
that
we
currently
have
were
underutilized
and
compared
to
in
comparison
and
to
the
reports
that
we're
receiving
so
a
program
like
texas
stopper,
which
is
also
state
supported,
would
support
the
students
also
anonymously
reporting
in
in
and
then
the
the
time
in
the
results.
I'm
introducing
the
pilot.
K
I'm
I'm
definitely
very
intrigued
by
by
what
I've
learned
about
the
text
to
stop
mechanism,
and
I
I
hesitate
to
use
that
word
because
I
don't
know
if
there
are
similar
programs.
So
I
don't
know
if
we
should
tie
ourselves
to
any
one
particular
vendor,
but
I
can
tell
you
having
a
presence
on
social
media.
K
I
I
am
aware
that
there
is
still
some
sort
of
breakdown
between
the
reporting
and
the
resolution
of
bullying
incidents
in
in
our
school
system
and
again
that
that's
not
pointing
to
any
any
one
particular
person
or
area,
that's
in
fault
at
fault.
It
could
be,
it
could
be
within
a
at
the
central
office.
It
could
be
at
the
administration
in
the
school
or
could
be
in
improper
use
by
by
families
and
students
reporting,
but
somewhere
along
the
way
we
still
have
a
breakdown
that
we
need
to
address.
K
Data
does
show
the
effectiveness
of
this
texting
mechanism
and
that
it
increases
resolution
and
satisfaction
among
the
students,
and
we
know
that
texting
is
a
form
of
communication
that
students
it's
it's
the
form
of
communication
they
use
the
most.
So
it
makes
sense
that
it
would
help
them
be
more
engaged
and
and
have
feel
more
empowered
to
have
a
voice
and
speak
up.
So
I
I
am
definitely
interested
in
in
pursuing
this
and
and
seeing
where
we
can
go
with
this,
and
I
I
would
say
a
pilot
is
a
good
way
to
start.
B
To
respond
to
the
comments
that
dr
aletto
made
regarding
use
of
the
outside
vendor,
I'm
wondering,
if,
through
using
existing
channels
right
so
the
existing
vendor,
if
there
would
be
a
way
to
expand
the
services
they
provide
to
allow
for
a
texting
options.
So
if
that's
where
kids
are
at,
it
doesn't
have
to
be
called
text
to
stop
it
or
any
of
the
others.
B
But
I'm
wondering
if
they've
explored
that,
because
if
we
want
to
meet
students
where
they
are
and
if
we
know
that,
where
they
are,
is
liking
to
text
more
than
picking
up
the
phone
and
calling,
then
that
could
be
a
reasonable
option
to
avoid
confusion.
Working
with
another
party,
all
of
those
sorts
of
things.
M
Absolutely
thank
you,
so
these
these
pieces
are
sort
of
fluid
when
it
comes
to
so
thank
you,
michelle
heim.
Let
me
start
with
our
current
vendor.
We
are
leaving
up
because
that's
the
number
that's
most
widely
known
and
that's
out
there,
and
so
until
the
governor's
initiative
really
takes
hold
and
it
is
completely
developed
through
and
I'm
going
to
talk
about
that
in
a
minute
we
are
not
going
to
bring
ours
down.
Eventually,
our
plan
is
to
take
down
ours
and
go
with
what
the
state
is
recommending.
M
So
there
is
a
sub-cabinet
of
secretary-level
positions
that
the
governor
has
appointed
to
advise
him.
There
is
also
a
maryland
center
for
school
safety,
sub-cabinet
advisory
board,
also
appointed
by
the
governor.
That
is
advising
him
on
these
issues,
and
so
his
safe
schools
maryland
has
an
app
that
students
can
access
and
text
in
information
as
they
wish,
and
the
text
feature
is
going
to
be
enhanced
over
time,
and
so
he
has
appointed
people
with
the
maryland
center
of
school
safety
mima
and
some
others
that
are
working
on
these
issues.
M
And
so
again
I'm
going
back
to
what
I
said
earlier.
I'm
a
little
concerned
about
getting
ahead
of
what
the
state
may
be
requiring
us
to
do
in
since
six
months
or
a
year
or
a
year
and
a
half.
I
am
part
of
that
advisory
that
meets
monthly,
and
these
are
conversations
that
we're
having
the
maryland
school
safety
maryland
center
for
school
safety,
mima,
the
maryland
association
of
chiefs
of
police,
the
mayoral
association
of
sheriffs
they're,
all
it's
a
coordinated
effort,
so
I
can
see
this
app.
M
That's
currently
available
through
the
state
being
enhanced
through
more
text
friendly.
It
is
a
little
clunky,
it's
accessible.
I
have
it
on
my
phone
now
it
is,
I
would
say
it's
a
little
clunky
in
terms
of
how
students
communicate,
but
that's
well
known,
and
they
are
working
on
these
issues.
So.
B
Then
can
I
offer
a
friendly
suggestion
to
to
go
on
top
of
that,
so
if
the
the
app
already
exists
in
some
form
or
another,
would
it
be
worth
putting
that
into
a
school
or
two
to
get
feedback
on
how
you
know?
If
the
user
is
going
to
ultimately
be
the
student,
then
they
should
have
a
seat
at
the
table
with
how
how
they
feel
that
is
how
they
feel
all
that
technology
is
working.
B
You
know,
does
it
have
the
right
features?
Is
it
asking
the
right
questions
in
the
right
way,
yada
yada!
So
can
we
as
a
as
a
compromise
from
going
to
a
different
vendor
to
going
through
existing
channels
that
are
only
going
to
get
more
expanded
over
time?
Could
we
could
we
throw
that
out
to
a
school
or
two
and
say
hey
or
not,
not
even
as
a
reporting
mechanism,
yet,
but
as
a
part
of
a
focus
group
to
get
their
feedback
on
how
that.
M
If
I
understand
what
you're
saying
the
schelheim,
the
state
is
collecting
data
and
there
on
the
advisory,
there
is
a
student
from
baltimore
county
that
was
appointed
by
the
governor
that
sits
at
the
table
with
all
the
others,
the
sheriffs
and
police
chiefs
and
others,
and
so
he
is
providing
input
on
behalf
of
students.
That's
the
way
it
was
designed
by
the
governor
so
and
the
app
is
available.
Now
students
may
vary.
It's
live
it's
not
just
something.
I'm
carrying
my
phone,
I
download
it
from
the
app
store.
B
U
J
Question
as
well
microsoft,
so
last
year,
when
this
was
launched
at
mema,
he,
the
governor,
invited
the
student
councils
so
like
crass
and
ones
from
different
counties
to
the
launch
off
day
and
he
invited
the
president
as
well
as
the
state's
new
member
of
the
board
of
education
and
other
county
leaders,
student
leaders
on
a
panel.
So
I
was
on
that
panel
and
he
was
asking
us
questions
with
his
team
for
feedback
on
this
app
yeah.
So
as
soon
as
it
launched
calls
where
me
and
texts
were
immediately
coming
in.
J
So
he
was
collecting
that
student
data
and
he
also
asked
each
regional
student
council
to
continue
to
collect
data
from
what
students
are
talking
about
and
continue
to
bring
it
to
him.
And
I
know
lucas
the
student
that
is
serving
like
dr
olato
said,
and
he
is
continuously
in
contact
with
the
regional
student
reps
to
get
that
feedback
and
bring
it
to
the
governor
and
the
council
as
well.
J
So
there's
a
ton
of
student
feedback
and
what's
good
about
this
and
the
one
of
the
main
reasons
that
governor
hogan
told
us
that
he
started.
This
was
the
app
feature
and
was
the
text
texting
and
the
anonymous
which
our
local
one
on
our
every
student
id
on
the
back
is
just
a
calling
one.
So
it's
like
the
double
feature:
yeah,
wonderful,.
B
So
if
it's
live,
then,
are
our
students
able
to
access
that
and
use
that
now,
then
to
report
are
we?
How
is
that
it
was
live
as
of
last
year?
No,
I
know,
but
how
is
so
if
an
anne
arundel
county
public
school
student
were
to
use
that
app
to
report
an
incident?
Where
would
that
information
then
travel
to
to
y'all
or.
M
The
information
goes
to
the
state
and
then
the
state
based
on
the
report
decides,
I
say
state.
I
think
it's
mima.
It
goes
to
mema.
They
are
then
filtering
through
the
information
and
getting
in
contact
with
the
locals.
So
each
local
has
a
director
of
safety
and
security.
Mr
dole
batten
is
ours,
and
so
he
would
then
get
a
call
from
the
state
and
say
we've
gotten
a
report
of
x,
y
or
z,
and
then
they
would
give
to
us
for
us
to
then
investigate,
take
over
call
local
law
enforcement.
M
M
J
Regional
government
was
was
asked
to
do
that
as
well
as
publicize
that
and
we
did
do
an
event
and
we
had
it
public
and
known
to
the
students
as
well.
Yes,.
E
Yes,
well,
many
of
my
questions
were
answered
with
that.
I
totally
agree
that
we
need
to
get
to
where
the
students
are
so
that
they're
most
apt
to
to
do
there,
but
I
believe
that
this
app
that
the
governor
is
promoting
and
that
is
backing
with
state
funding
and
the
whole
bit
is-
is
trying
to
do
that
and
I
think
it
will
get
better
time.
I'm
glad
to
hear
that
dr
arlato
serves
on
that
committee.
E
C
C
The
research
done
on
the
alternatives
at
this
time,
but
I
do
want
to
applaud
my
fellow
member
ms
antoine,
for
wanting
to
take
an
initiative,
because
we
do
have
an
urgent
problem
that
has
an
urgent
need,
I
think,
logistically,
I
will
I'm
inclined
to
decline,
given
the
testimony
that
was
presented
by
the
superintendent
staff
at
this
time,
but
I
think
we
could
definitely,
at
the
very
least
add
to
it
progress
on
that
state
portal
into
this
report
as
a
standard,
since
this
is
new
information,
I'd
like
to
hear
more
about
it,
because
if
it's
not
going
to
meet
our
need,
then
we
want
to
prepare
for
that
for
next
year's
budget,
then
to
include
it
in
there,
and
that
was.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
We've
got
miss
antwine
and
then
miss
ellis.
R
So
again,
I
I
am
all
about
what
the
governor
supports,
which
this
particular
program
he
supported
up,
I
think
about
two
or
three
years
ago,
so
some
of
the
features
may
be
in
the
app
that
you
guys
are
referring
to
with
the
with
the
pilot
program.
If
the
current
app
is
live
and
existing,
I
would
like
to
know
how
it's
being
utilized
within
our
system,
how
many
of
our
students
are
the
reporting
data
on
that?
R
I
believe
we
need
something
immediately,
that
we
can
put
our
hands
on
and
be
in
direct
control
of
as
well
the,
and
it
is
important
that
we
get
something
that
is
not
only
supported
and
endorsed
by
the
governor,
but
something
that's
that's
fully
utilized
elsewhere,
so
that
we
can
get
known
metrics
and
gathered
metrics
for
our
schools
as
well.
I'm
I'm
advocating
for
the
middle
schools
because,
as
reported
before,
the
middle
schools
are
are
funny
places
when
it
comes
to
bullying
and
so
that
we
can
move
forward
from
there.
R
Nothing
keeps
us
from
taking
other
initiatives.
It's
based
on
the
numbers
and
research
that
I
have
done
is
still
under.
The
ten
thousand
dollar
mark,
which
I
understood
was
was
significant
in
terms
of
competition
and,
and
it
would
certainly
give
the
students
some
means
of
reporting
beyond
what
we
have
now.
K
They
do
have
a
lot
of
data
and
got
support
from
the
state
got
approval
to
use
in
our
schools.
It
just
didn't
come
with
the
funding
for
us
too,
to
purchase
that,
but
so
I
I
do
think
there
is
more
information
to
gather
there.
There
is
data
available.
K
K
Maybe
it
does,
I
don't
know,
but
if
it's
just
them
sending
a
text
in
order
to
file
a
report
and
then
it
goes
through
all
these
channels.
That's
not
quite
the
same
service
as
what
the
text
to
stop
does,
which
is
the
student,
actually
contacts
a
person
and
has
a
conversation.
K
T
Counselors
do
follow
up
when
they
get
a
text
from
or
information
from
the
office
of
school
security.
Do
you
know
what
it
is?
We
do
follow-up
as
soon
as
we
get
the
text,
then
the
counselor
would
follow
up
thanks.
B
So
back
to
the
existing
vendor
and
the
phone
number
that
is
known
and
used
and
is
out
there-
and
this
is
just
a
question-
and
you
know
I
still
have
records
at
home,
so
bear
with
me-
so
can
that
phone
number
also
be
used
as
a
number
to
text
to
is
there
any
capability
there?
So
if
there,
no,
if
a
phone
number
is
known,
if
a
person
doesn't
want
to
make
a
call,
is
there
any
technology
that
they
could
text
to
that
number?
B
B
M
I
think
it's
landline
to
landline,
I
think
our
vendors
in
atlanta
georgia,
so
I
think
it's
a
landline,
but
I
certainly
can
ask
I
honestly
don't
know
yeah.
J
Miss
ellis
so
to
answer
your
question,
because
I'm
just
trying
to
help
clarify
some
things
with
so
with
your
regards,
were
you
asking
about
the
warm
line
with
the
state
one?
I
guess
I'm
comparing
the
two.
I.
K
I've
learned
about
the
vendor
that
was
proposed
at
the
beginning.
K
K
J
I
would
agree
with
that
yeah
and
I
mean
I
know
one
thing
too
is
that,
like
you
said
they
don't
the
calling
and
the
texting
and
stuff
just
from
my
perspective,
it's
like
they
really
want
the
face.
Conversation
too
so.
F
C
I'd
like
to
make
a
point
of
order,
I
do
not
believe
it's
within
our
purview
based
on
procurement,
to
specify
an
emotion,
a
specific
vendor.
I
would
offer
a
friendly
amendment
to
establish
a
different
definition
of
parameters
in
order
for
the
motion
to
be
able
to
be
carried
forward
as
it
stands
right
now.
I
I
do
not
believe
that
it
would
be
appropriate
to
vote
on.
A
A
R
R
I
understand
that
the
state
app
is
being
developed
if
it
is,
can
be
operational
in
in
the
three
middle
schools,
so
we
can
get
more
definite
metrics
and
build
and
make
better
decisions
on
how
to
manage
bullying
in
our
schools.
I
I
agree
to
that.
A
I
think
it's
been
sufficiently
addressed.
Okay
and
I
appreciate
that
miss
antwine
we've
got
some
additional
lights,
but
there
was
a
a
a
motion
to
call
the
question
and
then
her
point
of
order
trump,
that
so
you
keeping
your
motion
to
call
the
question.
Yes,
okay!
Is
there
a
second
second,
okay,
we'll
do
a
a
quick
ena
on
on
calling
a
question
yeah
and
I'm
sorry.
I
should
have
invited
you
to
to
be
seated.
I
apologize
for
that.
A
All
those
in
favor
of
ending
debate
say
aye
oppose
no,
the
ice
have
it.
We
now
have
a
vote,
mrs
connolly,
on
miss
antoine's
motion.
L
K
K
A
R
So,
in
addition
to
that,
I
earlier
I
requested
information
on
the
app
as
well
that
that
ms
ellis
just
requested,
but
in
addition
to
that,
could
we
have
a
report
on
the
turnaround
time
since
it
does
go
through
the
state
and
then
to
us
and
then
some
action
being
taken
specifically
how
long
it
takes
from
the
time
a
student
makes
this
report
to
the
time
action
is
taken
by
the
school
by
the
school
system.
M
It's
I'll,
I'm
not
sure
how
to
get
all
that
data.
What
I
can
tell
you
is
it's
instant
and
it
all
depends
on
the
level
of
reporting
right.
M
So
if
it's
a,
if
it's
a
call
regarding
suicide,
somebody's
getting
on
the
phone
immediately
at
that
app
site
and
if
not
then
they're
bringing
somebody
in
to
talk
with
that
student
immediately,
if
it's
a
report
about
a
possible
something
happening
at
the
school
the
next
morning,
the
next
day
the
next
week
that
report
is
made
to
us
and
we're
we,
the
school
systems,
are
working
on
it
immediately
we're
talking
with
local
law
enforcement,
we'll
have
extra
officers
in
the
building.
M
It
could
be
a
report
that
a
student
might
bring
a
weapon
to
school
and
we're
meeting
we're
trying
to
we're
sending
the
police
in
the
middle
of
the
night,
to
the
house
to
check
for
weapons
and
talking
with
the
parent
and
the
student.
So
it's
I
say
it's
hard
to
get
that
data
because
it
all
depends
on
what's
reported
the
time
of
day
and
during
the
week
when
it's
reported,
but
I
can
tell
you
it's
instant,
it
is
the
turnaround
when
it
gets
to
the
school
system.
The
school
systems
are
are
on
it
immediately.
A
Okay,
any
further
questions
or
comments
on
the
bullying
prevention
report
and
we'll
we'll
work
on
on
the
the
follow-ups
that
have
been
asked
by
various
members
and
and
at
least
tee,
that
up
currently
for
next
month's
bullying
prevention
report,
if
that's
okay
and
if
there's
anything
that
can
be
shared
in
in
or
during
the
interim,
certainly
we'll
accept
that
as
well.
Thank
you
item.

A
Thank
you,
dr
gillens.
We've
got
a
couple
of
board
questions
at
miss
antoine.
R
V
B
Thank
you
for
your
wonderful
report.
It
was
very
informative
and
because
it
was
so
informative.
I
struggled
to
keep
up
writing
notes
so
can
I
can
we?
Can
you
send
that
to
us?
So
we
have
the
list
of
all
the
various
menu
options
for
the
professional
development
days.
Thank
you
so
much
because
I'm
I'm
never
going
to
be
able
to
read
what
I
wrote
later.
Thank
you
so
much
no,
it
was
wonderful.
Thank
you.
K
I
too
want
to
thank
you
for
a
fabulous
report.
I
made
a
note
to
ask,
particularly
today
what
kind
of
activities
have
are
evolving
as
a
result
of
the
community
evening,
so
I
was
delighted
that
that's
what
you
started
with
excuse
me,
so
my
only
follow-up
to
that
is.
Do
we
have
any
plans
in
other
communities
at
this
point
in
time,
or
do
you
know
what's
coming
up
to
to
expand
this
effort
in
other
clusters,
good.
V
K
J
Thank
you,
dr
gillens.
I
want
to
echo
what
a
couple
other
board
members
said.
It
was
very
informative
and
thank
you
just
the
wonderful
work
that
you're
doing,
and
I
just
specifically
want
to
say
I'm
extremely
excited
to
hear
about
the
community
activities
that
is
are
planned
and
I
also
had
a
question
you
said
you
know.
Excuse
me,
unity,
day
activities.
What
activities
were
you
guys?
Thinking
was
particular
to
unity
day.
H
V
There
is
an
organization
but
bully
provision
organization
that
has
an
actual
site
with
tons
of
activities
so
that
day
we
do
have
footage
as
to
how
schools
celebrate
it
so
and
to
give
you
an
example,
so
from
elementary
schools,
they
may
have
done
a
unity
trait
or
handprints
around
the
school
to
show
how
they're
going
to
take
ownership
of
having
celebrating
diversity
and
inclusion.
So
that's
a
small
example.
V
High
schools
may
have
had
pledges
posted,
but
we
do
have
a
resource
to
go
to
to
say,
what's
feasible,
what's
reasonable
to
expand
this
throughout
the
school
year.
So
hopefully
I've
answered
your
question
as
to
what
some
of
those
activities
could
look
like.
We
haven't
fleshed
that
out
okay
to
come
up
with
a
blueprint
for
next
year,
but
there
is
definitely
a
resource
for
us
to
use
to
create
a
blueprint
for
next
year.
Yeah.
J
And
so
like
this
year,
unity
day
was
school
system
wide
right.
Would
that
was
those
activities
just
be
for
this
cluster
or
school
system
white
as
well?
Good
question
thanks?
F
U
A
V
U
W
Thank
you
for
the
record.
I'm
alex
czech
chief
operating
officer
here
to
present
item
4.04,
which
is
an
information
item
regarding
transportation
and
specifically,
at
the
last
meeting.
We
were
tasked
with
creating
a
a
structure
or
a
shell
for
a
request
for
a
proposal
for
transportation
consultant
to
come
in
and
analyze
the
transportation
division.
W
A
copy
of
a
skeleton
or
succinct
version
of
an
rfp
should
have
been
provided
to
the
members.
Let
me
begin
by
this
is
not
what
a
full
proposal
would
look
like
our
rfps
typically
range
in
the
40-plus
page
zone
so
should,
or
if
this
rfp
ever
be
put
out
on
the
street,
I
can
guarantee
you'll,
be
north
of
40
plus
pages,
but
again
to
save
some
time
and
save
a
couple
trees.
We
shrunk
it
down
to
the
more
pertinent
elements,
essentially
again
in
the
interest
of
time
here
this
morning.
W
W
So
really,
we
believe
this
would
be
a
good
starting
point.
We
certainly
would
welcome
the
board's
opportunity.
I'm
sure
many
more
items
could
be
added
to
this
or
possibly
detracted
from
again
this
brief
eight-page
synopsis
would
be
fully
flushed
out
and
and
eventually
let
in
the
form
of
a
fully
vetted
rfp
with
that
we'll
turn
it
over
to
the
board
for
any
questions.
Thank.
A
You,
mr
shaknovich,
and
we
do
have
a
couple
of
lights.
This
is
ellis.
K
Thank
you,
mr
sheikh,
now,
which
this
I
I
I
feel
after
I
mean
this
is
the
first
time
my
eyes,
I've
seen
this
just
moments
ago,
but
I
do
feel
like
we're
on
a
good
track
in
capturing
what
what
it
is
we're
looking
for.
W
K
I
do
have
a
question
with
the
data
that
was
provided
to
us.
As
far
as
I
guess,
where
anne
arundel
county
ranks
in
terms
of
spending
on
per
student,
I
guess
per
pupil
on
transportation.
Is
that
what
this.
S
A
A
B
I
want
to
thank
you
for
this.
This
is
a
wonderful
start
and
I'm
I'm
excited
to
see
it
written
down
on
paper
in
front
of
us
all
for
us
hopefully
to
to
adopt.
B
So
I
know
there's
some
other
questions
but
after
which
I'm
gonna
make
a
motion.
Should
I
do
that
now?
Maybe
I'll
do
that
now,
I'm
gonna
move
that
we
take
a
couple
weeks
and
digest
this,
make
sure
that
it
includes
like
all
the
stuff
we
we
wanted
to,
and
so
I
moved
that
this
go
back
on
the
agenda
for
next
meeting
to
also
allow
for
more
public
testimony
and
hopefully
for
as
an
action
item
to
adopt
at
that
time,
pending
changes
at
its
deletions
additions
to
this
document.
That's
my
motion.
K
B
B
B
A
Right
so
we've
got
trying
to
remember
the
order
here.
I'm
I'm
sorry.
I
didn't
ask
anything
else
that
you.
C
But
a
quick
question
first
off.
Thank
you
very
much.
This
is
this
is
what
I
envisioned
of
of
being
productive
for
everybody.
My
question
is
so
when
I
look
down
the
pipeline
of
our
capital
budget
and
our
facilities
needs
we're
going
to
be
bringing
on
a
few
new
schools
over
the
next
10
15
years.
C
It
would
be
helpful-
and
I
don't
know
if
that
would
be
part
of
the
scope
or
not
on
my
quick
read
to
identify
if
we
could
have
that
opportunity
to
at
least
vet
croftons
bringing
on
that
new
high
school
as
it
relates
to
that.
C
If
there's
any
efficiencies
of
ways
that
we
can
take
that,
given
that
we've
not
opened
up
a
new
school
in
a
long
time
to
take
this
moment
so
that
we
can,
you
know,
moving
forward,
take
advantage
of
the
data
for
your
staff
to
include
that
as
part
of
the
scope
is
that
something
appropriate
we
can.
W
Certainly
contemplate
that
my
initial
reaction
to
that
is
it's
a
little
premature
in
that,
obviously
we
haven't
defined
a
boundary
yet.
The
second
thing
is
during
the
implementation
phase
of
crofton
there's
going
to
be
three
full
years
where
we're
going
to
be
double
running.
Actually,
our
transportation
costs
are
going
to
explode,
not
go
down
because
we'll
be
servicing
south
river
anne
arundel,
while
servicing
crofton
simultaneously
and
then
should
the
grandfathering
provision
pass.
That
will
create
eight
years
of
associated
costs,
potentially
a
youngster
in
pre-kindergarten.
Should
they
live
in
the
right
zone?
W
Could
we
maybe
double
busting
a
court
for
as
many
as
eight
years?
So
I
think
until
some
of
those
questions
are
resolved,
it
may
be
a
little
premature.
I
think.
Certainly
after
the
full
implementation
I
mean
once
crofton
is
fully
stood
up
and
we're
done
the
phase
in
and
everybody
is
essentially
where
they
belong,
then
absolutely
would
be
the
opportunity,
then
I'm
not
sure,
if
we'd
be
in
a
position
today
to
provide
somebody
with
all
the
data
yet
that
they
needed
to
do
that
kind
of
analysis.
That's
just
my
initial
impressions
right
now.
Okay,.
W
Yeah-
and
I
think
that's
a
good
point-
I
mean-
obviously
I
I
think
again-
everybody's
just
seeing
this
for
the
first
time
today,
it'll
probably
be
most
effective
or
efficient.
If
you
know
the
board,
you
know
individually,
you
know,
compile
their
observations
or
questions
concern
additional.
You
know
scoping
elements
etc
and
could
funnel
those
through.
You
know
through
the
board's
executive
assistant
and
then
staff
and
myself
would
compile
those
and
and
bring
back
a
more
finished
product
for
the
board
to
look
at
well.
R
So
this
is
awesome
when
we've
introduced
it
a
couple
I
think
about
a
month
ago
now
right,
I
would
not
have
envisioned
this.
You
all
always
do
great
work
and
I'll
certainly
take
it
and
take
a
look
at
it
in
in
doing
this,
I
wanted
to
understand
the
personnel
piece
when
we
go
into
how
we
account
in
terms
of
dollars
when
we
go
into
hiring
such
such
vendors
that
do
this
kind
of
assessment.
Please.
W
W
R
P
R
W
Have
to
go
through
everything
from
from
screenings
to
confidentiality
agreements
if
they
needed
access
to
fort
meade,
they
would
have
to
go
through
the
dod
screening
process,
etc.
So
all
that
is
flushed
out
into
more
robust
standard,
rfp
template
that
we
issue
to
the
public.
Yes,.
L
W
Honestly,
sir,
I've
not
researched
that
I
mean
we
were
focused
on
on
developing
a
scoping
tool.
I
would
say
two
things
that
one.
That
is
something
that
we
would
research
if
we
decided
that
we
were
going
to
go
forward.
The
second
thing
is
that
we
essentially
have
a
policy
here
that
we
don't
waste
people's
time.
W
Time
is
money
in
the
professional
world,
and
unless
we
have
the
funding
and
the
resources
to
fund
an
rfp,
I'm
not
going
to
put
an
rfp
out
on
the
street
have
either
three
or
thirty
companies
spending
thousands
of
dollars,
creating
a
response
to
an
rfp.
If
I
don't
already
have
the
appropriation
authority
and
a
cash
on
hand
to
fund
it,
so
we
don't,
we
don't
trial,
balloon
and
waste
the
industry's
time.
So
I
think
we
would
do
two
things.
A
funding
mechanism
would
need
to
be,
you
know
identified.
W
We
would
certainly
take
a
look
at
the
landscape
and
see
who
is
out
there
so
that
you
know,
in
addition
to
the
normal,
putting
it
up
on
our
websites
on
e-maryland
marketplace
and
all
the
places
that
were
required
to
do
it.
If
there
are
firms
out
there
capable
of
doing
it,
we
certainly
would
want
to
ensure
that
a
copy
of
it
got
before
them
as
well.
Thank
you.
Yes,
sir.
A
Okay,
there
are
no
further
board
questions
at
this
time.
We
have
one
card
for
public
comment
as
well
as
anyone
else
who
would
like
to
come
up.
Lisa
van
buskirk.
H
The
morning
board
of
education,
lisa
van
busker,
we're
short
school
leader,
anne
arundel
county,
as
I
was
trying
to
keep
up
with
mr
shagnovis
right
now.
These
12
13
different
items.
They
were
music
to
my
ears,
so
I'm
very
pleased
with
the
work
the
transportation
develop.
Department
has
come
up
with
in
scoping
out
this,
and
I
look
forward
to
seeing
how
the
discussion
goes
in
two
weeks
and
reading
in
a
bit
more
detail.
H
H
So
this
is
a
because,
in
the
february
6
meeting
there
had
been
a
discussion
about
how
effective
cos
cost
effective.
Aacps
was
so.
I
looked
on
msde's
data
and
the
most
recent
data
that
they
have
for
the
selected
financial
data
is
from
the
2016-2017
school
year,
and
so
it
is
a
spreadsheet
with
eight
tabs
and
it
each
tab
is
three
pages.
H
It
should
be
interesting
to
note
that
the
school
system
that
spends
the
most
money
also
has
the
best
hours
that
would
be
garrett
county,
their
elementary's
8,
15,
8
45
and
their
maryland.
High
schools
are
8,
25,
8,
30.,
admittedly
a
very
rural
jurisdiction.
They
only
have
two
high
schools
and
they're
co-located
with
the
middle
schools.
So
it's
different,
but
you
know
it's
nice
to
see
that
some
schools
do
that
anyways.
H
So
when
I
look
at
various
cost
benefit
analysis
used
by
the
brookings
institute
and
rand,
they
estimate
that
implementing
improved
start
times
cost
about
150
dollars
per
person
based
on
their
estimates.
H
The
2014
task
force
their
numbers
came
up
somewhere
in
110
120
range,
so
we
use
150
until
we
get
the
consultants
to
come
back
with
item
number
10
school
start
time,
cost
estimates
and
schedules
that
would
bring
anne
arundel
county
up
to
872,
which
put
us
about
11th
right
behind
harford
county
and
slightly
more
than
prince
george's
county,
which
I
think
is
fairly
consistent
with
where
we
would
be.
H
I
would
like
to
point
out
that
on
monday,
with
the
time
shift,
sunrise
is
going
to
be
at
7
23
now,
which
means
that
all
of
the
high
school
students
who
are
just
now
being
picked
up
in
daylight
next
to
civil
dawn,
they're
all
going
to
be
in
the
dark
again.
So
I'm
looking
forward
to
how
we
can
make
that
evolution
safer
for
all
the
students,
although
now
the
afternoon,
late
drop-offs
will
at
least
be
in
the
light,
but
we
need
to
improve
that
for
the
winter.
K
K
Do
we
know
where
we
rank
with
other
districts?
As
far
as
I
know
that
we
spend
a
lot
of
money
transporting
students
to
special
schools
and
out
of
area,
I'm
wondering
if,
if
that
affects
this
ranking
at
all,
do
we
do
other
school
systems?
Do
that
as
much
as
we
do
so,
in
other
words,
is
our
cost
per
people,
perhaps
even
inflated
by
that?
Do
you
understand
the
question?
M
So
I
I
haven't
looked
at
that
data,
I
don't
I
don't
know
anything
about
the
algorithm
for
the
data
that
she's,
given
you
I'm
seeing
it
for
the
first
time.
So
I
don't
know
I
can't
answer.
If,
if
non-public
transportation
costs
are
included
in
that
algorithm,
I
don't
know
so.
Secondly,
are
we
out
of
line
or
in
line
using
my
words
with
other
school
systems
with
regard
to
transporting
students
to
non-publics?
M
A
A
Great
comments,
mrs
shawheim.
B
A
A
M
A
S
A
M
A
Any
public
comment
seeing
none
mrs
connolly
policy,
I'm
so
sorry,
I'm
I'm
anxious
and
we're
moving.
A
Second,
okay,
I
got
your
recommendation.
Just
went
right
into
it,
I'm
so
sorry!
So
anyway,
you
see
where
I'm
heading
here.
We
now
have
mrs
connolly
third
reading
for
final
vote
on
health
education
policy.
Ifg.
Would
you
please
call
the
roll.
F
A
You
we
now
have
first
reading
today,
which
is
with
item
6.04
ethics
and
conflict
of
interest.
X
X
This
is
one
of
the
rare
instances
where
you'll
find
procedures
and
definitions
and
in
the
policy
instead
of
the
regulation.
This
was
done
intentionally
in
accordance
with
requirements
established
under
state
law
and
regulations.
X
The
policy
has
been
updated
to
account
for
the
new
composition
of
the
board
and
to
align
with
recent
regulatory
revisions
by
the
state
ethics.
Commission
revisions
include
updated
definition
to
the
word
interest
clarifying
language
regarding
the
use
of
prestige
of
office
by
board
members
or
school
system
officials,
inclusion
of
language
regarding
financial
disclosure
requirements
for
candidates
to
be
members
of
the
board.
X
A
I
don't
see
any
lights
yet,
but
I
just
have
one
question:
it's
mostly
a
clarifying
question
that
not
to
put
you
on
the
spot,
or
even
mrs
connelly,
if
I,
if
I
dare
do
so,
our
next
statement
is
due
april
30th
of
this
year
and
then,
if
we
start
to
look
at
the
calendar,
the
changes
that
may
be
incorporated
here
may
not
may
take
effect
after
some
of
us
submit.
You
know
for
those
of
us
who
are
early
birds
and
submit
on
time
or
or
well
in
advance.
A
So
the
reason
I
ask
is
the
change
this
year
to
where
are
we
at
under?
A
I
guess
page
three
item,
f
mutual
funds
and
etfs
we've
not
had
to
to
claim
those
in
the
past,
and
that
might
be
a
significant
change
for
for
some
members,
at
least
of
the
board,
and
particularly
some
members
of
staff.
A
So
I
guess
the
question
is:
if,
if
I
were
to
submit
my
statement
tomorrow,
I
would
not
the
the
form
is
not
currently
set
up
for
etfs
and
mutual
funds.
X
So
that's
right!
That
was
a
question.
Thank
you
for
asking
that
that's
a
great
question.
I
was
just
perusing
that
email
yesterday
myself
for
the
financial
disclosures,
so
the
regulation
changes
by
the
state
have
already
taken
effect,
and
so,
while
we
have
not
updated
our
policy
to
reflect
that
this
definition
is
included
in
the
state
regulations.
X
Currently
it's
already
been
updated,
so
you
know
I
was
waiting
for
them
to
finalize
their
revisions
before
moving
forward
with
our
policy
revisions,
so
not
sure
if
there's
a
way
in
the
forum,
if
there's
additional
information
that
folks
I'm
looking
over
at
staff,
if
there's
a
way
on
the
form,
if
the
form
doesn't
currently
call
for
that
information,
if
there
is
an
opportunity
to
add
additional
information
in
the
form,
then
I
would
highly
recommend
that
the
board
members
and
staff
include
information
regarding
mutual
funds,
as
indicated
in
this
in
the
policy
just
because
the
state
regulations
are
already
effective.
X
A
Thank
you
and
you
know
again
it's
I.
I
certainly
get
the
alignment
with
the
state.
You
know
one
of
the
the
issues
that
that
you
know
pops
up
from
time
to
time
is
when
we
say
compose
primarily
of
holdings,
et
cetera,
et
cetera
in
in
the
specific
sector.
You
know
some
in
some
cases
we
may
not
know,
and
you
know
there-
that's
always
a
gray
area.
A
I
tend
to
side
on
on
the
side
of
caution,
but
at
the
same
time
it
makes
it
difficult
sometimes
to
know
you
know
if
that
one
particular
etf
or
that
one
particular
mutual
fund
has
holdings
in,
say
an
education,
publishing,
company
or
or
something
that
may
not
be
given
in
the
name
of
of
the
mutual
fund.
A
You
know
so,
for
instance,
mutual
fund
invests
in
in
apple
and
apple
has
itunes,
university
and
and
various
components
where
there
is
overlap
in
education,
but
that
may
not
be
their
primary
function,
and
you
know
that
that
offers
some
gray
area,
and
this
was
not.
You
know
anything
that
I
intended
to
talk
about
at
length
today,
but
it
just
I'm
just
raising
it
to
avoid.
A
X
That's
good
information
and
I'll
definitely
coordinate
with
staff
on
getting
this
information
out
there
to
board
and
aacps
staff
who
are
impacted
by
this
policy
and
with
regards
to
the
state,
you
know
sometimes
they're
clearer
than.
F
X
Times
as
far
as
definitions
and
things
of
that
nature,
certainly
I
would
recommend
that
you
err
on
the
side
of
caution.
Of
course,
as
you
mentioned,
president
gilliland,
it
may
be
it's
just
something
you
may
not
know,
and
so
I
think,
given
the
fact
that
this
is
a
recent
change.
X
If
it
was
an
issue
that
were
to
come
up,
then
an
individual
would
have
the
opportunity
to
simply
amend
their
disclosure.
If
you
know,
unless
there
was
something
nefarious
that
was
found,
you
know
that
someone
was
purposely
not
disclosing
information
because
of
personal
gain
or
something
of
that
nature.
You
can
always
go
back,
you
know
and
amend
it.
If
an
issue
were
to
come
up-
and
I
you
know
it's
possible-
that
this
question
may
come
before
the
state
ethics
commission
and
they
may
issue
an
opinion
at
some
time
in
the
future.
A
And
just
in
the
event
of
a
full
public
disclosure,
it's
not
that
I'm
high,
hiding
anything
or
insinuating
anybody
else
may
be
hiding
anything.
It's
just
that
in
the
past,
certain
holdings
in
in
401ks
and
iras
etc
did
not
have
to
be
disclosed.
So
this
is
why
this
is
new
for,
for
those
who've
been
in
the
game
for
for
a
little
bit
of
time.
Here,
we've
got
one
question,
mrs
shawheim.
B
Thank
you
for
this.
I
just
wanted
to
know.
You
said
it
already
took
effect
at
the
state
level.
Do
you
know
when?
Because
my
in
a
similar
manner
to
president
governor
my
ears
kind
of
perked
up
too
a
little
bit
so
like?
When
did
this
take
effect?
Because
I
am
an
early
bird
and
I've
already
submitted
my
form
so.
X
B
X
Yeah
and
you
can
amend
your
form
and
that
tends
to
happen.
Unfortunately,
the
state
will
either
pass
laws
or
amend
regulations,
and
then
you
know
we
have
to
go
through
our
process
to
do
everything,
and
so
there
can
be
a
gap,
and
so
I
think
that
would
be
easily
explainable
if
there
were
a
question
raised
as
to
why
certain
information
was
disclosed.
Obviously
you
filled
out
your
form
with
the
information
you
had
at
the.
X
A
Okay,
it
looks
like
we
have
no
other
comments
here.
Any
public
comment
seeing
none
thank
you
for
for
that.
We'll
now
move
to
item
6.05,
which
is
items
of
legislation,
and
I
know
mrs
hummer
wanted
to
make
a
comment
at
the
appropriate
time
about
the
kerwin
bill
that
was
introduced
and-
and
certainly
I
know
we
have
no
votes
expected
today
on
this,
but
you
know
any
anything
else
that
you'd
like
to
highlight
as
well
sure.
E
I
know
mr
ortiz
can
jump
in
as
well,
so
the
kerwin,
the
long-awaited
kerwin
bill,
finally
dropped
yesterday
and
we
were
able
to
get
the
text
there's
a
lot
of
very
good
things
in
there
that
that
we
that
we
have
been
advocating
for
pre-k
pre-kindergarten
funding
is
huge
extra
support
for
some
of
our
struggling
learners.
Extra
concentrated
poverty
grants
increased
teacher
salaries,
there's
a
lot
of
things,
there's
some
details
in
there
that
are
still
being
worked
out
and
being
fuzzy,
but
I
think
overall,
it's
what
what
we
were
hoping
for.
E
The
funds
that
they
initially
have
in
the
outline
are
very
good
for
anne
arundel
county.
If
those
funds
are
granted-
and
so
I
will
be
going
this
afternoon-
they're
fast
tracking
it
along-
and
I
will
be
there
going
straight
from
here
this
afternoon-
to
go
testify
before
the
senate
committee
for
that
and
the
house
committee
is
next
week,
so
they're
moving
it
right
along,
but
I
think
overall,
it's
very
positive,
miss
ortiz!
You
can.
X
Thank
you,
mrs
hummer.
Yes,
so
yes,
the
long-awaited
kerwin
bell
dropped
yesterday
in
the
bill
hearings
today,
so
we
had
less
than
24
hours
and
just
a
huge
thank
you
to
staff,
because
I
sent
them
the
link
and
I'm
like,
and
I
need
it
by
the
end
of
the
business
day
so
that
I
can
work
on
some
testimonies
so
still
working
on
that,
so
that
we
can
get
something
on
time.
So
kerwin
would
be
a
section
three
bill.
X
Everything,
as
mrs
hummer
stated,
are
things
that
we've
been
monitoring
are
covered
by
the
legislative
program.
We
talk
about
kerwin
commissions,
specifically
the
pre-k
funding.
We
talk
about
pre-k
funding
and
full
funding
for
people
funding
for
pre-k
students
in
our
legislative
program
and
funding
full.
You
know
funding
in
general.
We
talk
about.
You,
know,
teachers
and
teacher
salary,
salaries
and
rigorous
trainings,
and
so,
given
that
it
would
be,
you
know
something
that
falls
under
the
legislative
program.
X
So
what
we're
looking
at,
based
on
the
legislation
which
really
there
weren't
surprises
necessarily
given
that
they
issued
their
recommendations
not
too
long
ago,
would
be
a
support
with
amendments
to
just
address
some.
Some
concerns
one
specific
issue
in
the
bill
as
drafted
is
the
definition
of
teacher.
It
excludes
individuals
that
currently
are
in
the
same
collective
bargaining
unit
as
teachers
at
aacps,
so,
for
example,
curriculum
specialist
school
psychologists
would
not
be
including
that
definition-
and
I
understand
that,
there's
a
general
concern
about
that
among
stakeholders.
X
A
couple
of
other
things
are
accountability,
there's
an
accountability
piece
in
there,
and
so
we
would
we're.
We
would
like
to
ask
the
legislature
to
consider
doing
whatever
performance,
evaluations
or
audits
in
aligned
with
the
current
audits
by
the
office
of
legislative
audits,
because
this
performance
evaluation
would
fall
under
that
office.
So,
rather
than
doing
two
separate
audits
that
you
know
be
done
in
concert
with
what
we
currently
have
you
know
the
last
time
we
had
audit
auditors
here
from
ola.
X
They
were
here
for
11
months,
and
so
you
know
to
have
to
have
back
to
back,
and
I
can't
even
imagine
the
small
rural
counties
I'm
just
trying
to
see
if
there's
other
and
then
with
the
teacher
preparation
program,
that's
proposed
in
the
bill.
You
know
that's
great
wonderful.
We
support
it.
X
We
would
ask
that
there's
also
allowed
a
little
bit
of
flexibilities
to
local
school
systems,
because
we
feel
that
we're
doing
things
that
work
here
in
anne
arundel
county
public
schools,
and
so
we
wouldn't
want
to
kind
of
mess
that
up.
So
if
we
can
do
it,
you
know
in
concert
with
what
the
state
is
proposing.
Of
course,
we
would
love
that,
and
that's
that's
pretty
much
sort
of
the
clarifications
that
we
would
request
in
the
bill
in
aligned
with
our
legislative
program
and
positions
on
these
issues.
A
Awesome
miss
ortiz,
thank
you
again
for
for
everything.
We've
got
two
lights,
mrs
shalheim.
B
It's
off,
I
know
we,
we
don't
have
a
position
on
it,
but
it's
it's
awfully
specific,
with
with
regard
to
just
two
historical
figures
like:
do
they
go
beyond
that?
Do
they
talk
any
about
you
know
current
contributions,
or
you
know,
or
anything
like
that
or
is
this
is
just
taken
right
from
the
text
and
that's
that's.
B
X
A
good
question,
and
so
we
so
typically
we
would
oppose
curriculum
mandates
right.
X
However,
given
some
of
the
things,
the
efforts
that
we're
taking
here
with
in
our
school
system,
global
community
citizenship
course
and
other
measures
to
address
diversity
and
some
issues
we
faced
as
a
county
and
as
a
school
system,
we
weren't
comfortable
opposing
it
and
especially
given
the
fact
that
it
wasn't
very
prescriptive,
the
language
necessarily
other
than
to
talk
about
highlighting
harriet,
tubman
and
frederick
douglass.
And
the
reason
for
that
is
because
they
are
marylanders.
They
were
marylanders.
And
so
that's
sort
of
the
highlight.
X
I
did
ask
for
clarification,
though,
on
the
bill,
because
it's
drafted
to
a
section
of
law
currently
which
highlights
specific
days
so
veterans
day,
washington's
birthday,
lincoln's
birthday,
arbor
day.
This
talks
about
black
history
month.
So
the
question
I
posed
to
the
committee
was:
was
the
intention
of
the
bill
that
school
systems
develop
a
part
of
one
day
during
black
history
month
to
black
history
and
also
harriet,
tubman
and
frederick,
frederick
douglass,
which
we
are
already
exceeding
that
in
our
school
system?
X
Or
is
the
intention
of
the
bill
that
we
devote
part
of
one
day
each
day
during
black
history
month,
which
would
be
more
difficult
to
do?
It
doesn't
tell
us
how
we're
supposed
to
do
it,
what
the
instruction
is
supposed
to
be,
so
we
just
asked
for
that
clarification,
so
I
think
that
was
sort
of
the.
The
reason
why
harriet
tubman
and
frederick
douglass
are
highlighted
is
just
because
they
were
marylanders.
I
would.
N
B
Like
yes,
I
hope
it
goes.
I
hope
what
we
do
goes
well
beyond
that.
I
hope
it
includes
current
contributions
to
society,
as
well
as
historical
references
to
to
amazing
people
from
our
past
and
in
the
whole
spectrum
to
to
really
celebrate.
So
that's
it's
more
of
a
comment.
My
question
is
about
kerwin
and
pre-k,
so
it's
great
to
I
mean
the
state's
going
to
do
what
it's
going
to
do
and
we're
hopefully
going
to
be
in
alignment
with
that.
B
We
have
overcrowded
schools
as
it
is
so,
do
you
have
any
sense
on
to
what
how
they've
how
they
envision
this
to
work
and
who
it
would
cover,
because
I'm
also
personally
not
I
mean
my
kiddo-
is
still
napping
for
many
hours
a
day
at
that
age,
and
so
like
the
concept
of
full
day,
standardization
of
toddlers
is
a
little
scary,
so
you
need
to
speak
more
about
what
their
plan
is
and
implementation
and
what
that
all
looks
like
if
you
know
it.
X
So
the
goal
of
kerwin
was
to
get
a
bill
this
year
to
address
some
of
the
the
five
key
policy
areas
that
the
commission
has
been
reviewing
for
the
last
year.
Early
childhood
development
and
education
is
one
of
them,
and
so
they
talk
about
you
know.
Expanded
per
pupil.
Funding
for
eligible
students
for
pre-k
next
session
is
when
we
really
anticipate
the
commission
really
looking
at.
X
You
know,
if
they're
going
to
expand
universal
pre-k,
how
that
would
be
done,
how
it
would
be
funded,
how
it
would
be
implemented
and
the
requirements
they
haven't
gotten
really
that
detailed
in
this
bill,
and
so
I'm
not
sure
where
they're
going
to
go
with
that
part
of
the
this
legislation
actually
extends
the
commission
for
yet
another
year.
It
was
originally
only
supposed
to
meet
for
one
year
and
we're
going
into
year,
three
here
and
next
session.
X
The
goal
is
to
have
legislation
that
really
tackles
the
funding
formulas,
because
those
are
not
addressed
in
this
legislation,
while
there's
a
certain
funding,
that's
appropriated
or
allocated
for
certain
grants
and
certain
programs
and
things
of
that
nature.
The
actual
true
funding
formulas
and
the
state
contribution
contribution.
X
Excuse
me,
and
local
contributions
have
not
been
determined
at
this
time,
and
you
know
during
the
press
conference
yesterday,
leadership
talked
about
needing
local
buy-in,
for
example,
right
because
there
will
definitely
be
more
commitment
needed
from
the
local
governments
to
be
able
to
fund
this
very
bold
steps
that
the
commission
is
looking
to
move
forward
with.
So.
B
I
realized
that
there
that
they're
going
to
expand
pre-k.
I
guess
my
my
my
concern
is
if
they're
going
to
demand
that
as
every
child
going
or
if
they
don't.
How
do
we,
I
guess
I'm
just
concerned
how?
How
do
we
scale
it?
B
Not
knowing
you
know
if,
if
all
kids
aren't
mandated
to
go,
that's
great,
I
think
that's
would
fall
under
our
legislative
program,
not
having
a
another
demand
placed
on
us,
but
then,
if
it's
not
demanded,
then
how
do
we
gauge
where
we're
going
to
need
space
and
buildings
throughout
the
the
the
county?
So
I
just
wanted
to
put
that.
X
No,
those
are
good
questions
and
that's
sort
of
the
issues
that
we
have
raised
over
the
years
because
space
facility,
I
mean
we're
still
dealing
with
the
full
kindergarten,
and
you
know
what
11
years
later
and
meeting
those
needs
for
facilities.
There's
definitely
conversations
about
collaborating
with
private
pre-k
providers
and
being
able
to
meet
the
needs.
But
again
those
details
have
not
been
worked
out
as
of
yet
but
certainly.
X
A
lot
of
feedback
and
information,
not
only
from
the
commission
members
but
from
school
systems.
You
know
me,
sam
superintendents,
other
stakeholders,
parents,
etc
the
legislature,
because
there
are
different
ideas
about
that,
and
certainly
there
are
folks
that
you
know
don't
believe
that
mandatory
full
pre-k
should
be
what
we're
doing,
and
certainly
as
a
state
right
now
we
allow
parents
to
keep
their
student,
their
child
back
one
year,
even
for
kindergarten.
So
I
imagine
those
are
all
of
the
things
that
would
be
considered
when
they
finally
make
their
final
recommendations.
X
R
So
I
want
to
commend
you
miss
hammer
and
you
miss
ortiz.
I
know
that
having
it
dropped
like
literally
yesterday
or
so
to
have
this
much
information
come
back
to
us
and
I
want
to
share
with
you
julie,
I
didn't
know
you
were
testifying
today.
I
will
be
right
there
to
support
you
this
afternoon
if
I
had
known
so.
If,
if
you
guys
go
into
these
testimonies,
you
know
we're
one
team,
one
fight,
let
us
know
so
we
can
be
there
to
support
you
well.
E
I
will
say
that
literally
we
found
out
yesterday,
but
I
I'm
going
I'm
not
going
actually
to
testify
on
behalf
of
this
board.
I
testify
I'm
testifying
on
behalf
of
the
maryland
association
of
boards
of
education,
okay,
so
I'm
there
and
in
my
role
as
the
legislative
chairman,
so
I'm
speaking
for
all
24
jurisdictions
when
I
go,
but
on
this
issue
we
very
much
align
that
with
anne
arundel
county
board
of
education,
but
we
literally
found
out
yesterday
about
when
this
bill
was
it
went
about
what
time
all
the
hearings
were
going
to
be.
R
So
then
I
my
question,
I
have
two
actually
one
was
back
to
you
said.
The
definition
of
teachers
in
current
commission
is
different
from
what
it
was
before,
or
just
different
from
what
we
we
define
it
as
and
if
so,
are,
how
do
we
look
into
aligning
our
definition
with
currents,
because
I
I
don't
anticipate
them
changing
much.
X
So
what
the
kerwin
and
they're
sneaky
man,
because
they
put
it
in
a
special
section
so
for
those
that
don't
aren't
familiar
with
reading
bills,
it's
usually
the
all
caps.
Bold
is
the
new
language
right
and
anything.
That's
in
regular
font
is
existing
language,
but
when
it's
in
a
special
section
it's
existing,
it's
not
existing
language,
it
is
new
language,
but
it
looks
like
its
existing
language,
so
people
will
not
even
pay
attention.
X
Sometimes
we
pay
attention
to
all
of
those
things,
so
in
a
special
section
is
where
they
throw
in
the
definition
of
teacher,
which
is
interesting
because
it's
uncodified
things
are
are
in
special
sections
are
not
codified
in
the
law,
and
so
I
know
that
I'm
not
sure
why
teacher
was
limited
in
its
scope.
For
definition,
we
would
not
want
to
adopt
the
crown
definition,
because
that
would
exclude
so
many
of
our
employees
that
we
currently
include
in
the
same
collective
bargaining
unit.
X
It
is
my
understanding
that
msca
this
was
not
their
request
either
mabe,
kazam
and
others,
and
so
we're
just
curious
as
to
where
this
came
from.
But
I
don't
believe
that
this
proposed
definition
has
the
support
of
the
major
stakeholders,
and
so
I
the
goal
would
be
to
get
that
definition
changed
to
be
inclusive.
R
That
was
that's.
That's
part
of
that
was
my
my
b
to
the
a
right.
So
I'm
glad
you
answered
that
so
then,
my
other,
if
if
we
can
address
the
other
legislation,
okay,
so
on
page
five,
the
hbu
12
11,
when
we
talk
about
ready,
set,
launch
and
they're,
offering
that
there
be
an
option
for
students
to
take
an
online
course
for
language.
I
wanted
to
better
understand
why
we're
choosing
to
to
oppose
what's
being
offered
here.
X
Okay,
so
this
is
with
the
foreign
language
requirement,
computer
programming,
language
courses,
and
so
this
is
in
alignment
with
our
legislative
program.
First
and
foremost,
you
know.
We
firmly
believe
that
curriculum
decisions
are
the
purview
of
the
local
boards
of
education
and
the
state
board
of
education.
Maryland.
State
department
of
education,
as
opposed
to
legislators,
but
to
have
a
computer
programming
course
be
considered.
A
foreign
language
requirement
meet
a
foreign
language
requirement.
X
X
This
bill
is
a
what
we
call
a
reintroduction.
It's
like
a
perennial
bill
trying
to
change
whether
it's
you
know,
foreign
language
requirements
or
science
requirements,
and
so
we've
historically
always
oppose
these,
because
the
purposes
of
world
and
classical
languages
and
computer
programming,
we
don't
feel,
are
aligned.
M
And
if
I
could
add
to
that,
I'm
just
saying
I
think
it's
a
wonderful
question
and
we've
talked
lots
about
it
with
staff
and
superintendents
around
the
state
that
it,
our
opposition
to
our
recommending
the
board's
opposition
to
this,
is
not
in
any
way
shape
or
form,
making
a
statement
that
we
believe
one
is
better
than
the
other.
We
just
don't
think
they
should
take
the
place
of
right.
I
think
students
should
have
access
to
computer
programming
and
computer
science,
and
I
think
they
should
have
access.
M
We
believe
they
should
have
access
to
foreign
language.
What
you
learn
in
each
is
very
different,
while
you
call
them
a
programming
language
there
is.
There
are
things
that
you
get
in
that
in
that
world,
classical
language
course
that
you
wouldn't
get
in
a
in
a
computer
language
course.
So
we
are
emphasizing
that
we
want
students
to
take
both.
M
Also
understand
that
if
this
goes
through
with
the
state
of
maryland,
it
would
not
align
in
many
cases
with
colleges
and
universities
and
what
they're
looking
for
on
college
applications
of
two
or
more
years,
it's
very
standard.
I
was
out
visiting
colleges
last
two
weeks
ago
with
my
daughter
and
talking
to
admission
counselors
in
several
states
and
several
different
universities
they're
looking
for
a
minimum
of
two,
if
not
four
years
of
a
language,
and
they
would
not
accept
computer
programming
as
as
a
as
one
of
those
years
accounting
for
language.
M
So
it
would
sort
of
put
us
in
a
different
place
in
the
state
of
maryland,
as
we're
looking
at
our
students
to
start
to
apply
to
schools
around
the
country,
but
really
it's
about
access
to
academics
and
the
rigor
of
what's
in
computer
science
and
what's
in
foreign
language
and
not
and
not
one
substituting
for
the
other.
E
I'm
just
gonna
hop
back
for
just
one
minute
to
kerwin
the
issue
about
the
teacher
definition.
As
ms
ortiz
said.
I
believe
that
there
is
kind
of
universal
puzzlement
about
that
definition.
That's
there
and
I
think
that
legislators
are
already
hearing
from
a
number
of
people
as
the
bill
was
just
dropped.
Yesterday,
there's
going
to
be
lots
of
changes
to.
C
E
They're
going
to
be
hearing
they're
already
hearing
from
a
lot
of
people,
so
I
don't
think
anything
is
too
set
in
stone
in
that,
and
I
think
that
is
one
issue.
In
particular,
I
know
that
all
the
major
education
issues
have
education
associations
have
already
raised
concerns
about
the
limitations
on
that
and
then,
when
it
comes
to
pre-k
again,
there's
nothing
in
this
bill.
Thankfully,
this
year,
that's
mandating
any
pre-k
whatsoever.
E
This
is
completely
a
funding
issue
in
this
year's
bill,
so
it
would
just
give
us
additional
funds
for
the
current
students
that
we
serve
in
pre-k
next
year
and
the
years
coming
up,
that'll
be
when
we're
really
going
to
get
into
fine
details
and
that
we'll
go
back
and
forth
with
everything
that
was
raised
here.
Is
it
the
best
for
all
students?
Should
it
be
more
targeted?
Do
we
even
have
the
space
to
do
it,
which
at
many
of
our
schools
we
don't?
Even
we
don't
even
have
room
to
add
additions
to
do
it?
E
It's
not
that
we
could.
So
those
are
all
things
that
will
come
out
in
the
coming
years,
but
the
bill
today
that
the
bill
that
dropped
yesterday
is
really
only
funding,
which
was
our
main
focus
that
we
wanted
this
year
is
that
we
are
serving
almost
3
000
pre-k
students
and
receiving
no
additional
dollars
for
them.
So
this
is
really
good
in
that.
If
this
part
of
it
passes,
we
will
receive
more
money
to
serve
the
existing
students
that
we
have.
J
Thank
you
miss
ortiz,
so
I
had
a
question
on
page
six
house
bill
1242,
opposing
the
vision,
services
and
vision
for
maryland
program.
From
my
understanding,
I
thought
we
already
gave
eye
exams
to
students
like
certain
periods,
yeah.
X
So
we
do.
This
would,
though,
require
a
county
board
of
education
to
be
responsible
for
coordinating
with
this
vision
program.
That's
established
under
the
bill
to
get
the
glasses
to
the
students,
and
currently
we
just
didn't,
feel
it's
the
county
board's
role
to
do
that.
Our
health
departments
are
staffed
by
the
county
health
department
and
they
conduct
our
vision.
Screenings,
and
you
know
we
didn't
make
a
recommendation
one
way
or
another,
but
we
just
didn't
feel
that
it's
a
role.
It
was
the
purview
of
a
county
board
of
education
to
be
trying
to
figure
out.
X
You
know
how
to
get
these
glasses
to
the
students
at
the
school,
and
so
we
thought
there
could
be
another
avenue
that
would
be
more
appropriate
and
more
efficient
to
ensure
that
the
students
were
receiving
the
glasses
once
they
you
know
once
it
was
determined
that
they
needed
them.
J
X
So
this
would
create
a
new
program
that
would
help
fund
for
the
glasses,
for
these
students
was
asking
us
to
be
responsible
for
for
getting
the
glasses
to
the
students
and
coordinate,
and
we
just
thought
we're
not
currently
providing
the
vision
services
directly
as
a
school
system,
as
it
is
that's
the
county
health
department,
and
so
we
just
thought
that,
whether
it's
the
county
health
department
or
whether
it's
someone
staff
at
the
program
itself,
that
would
be
responsible
to
provide
those
classes
to
students.
Okay,.
A
Looks
like
we
have
no
further
questions
or
comments
here.
Is
there
any
public
comment
on
items
of
legislation
seeing
none
certis?
Thank
you.
As
always,
we'll
now
move
to
review
items.
Item
7.01
is
the
workforce,
diversity
presentation
and
we
do
have
a
staff
presentation.
Y
Good
afternoon
president
gillen
vice
president
urea
and
members
of
the
board,
I
am
jessica,
kutchis
executive
director
of
human
resources
to
my

is
mrs

Chittim
senior
manager
for
human
capital
and
to
her
left
is
mrs
shanika
mckenzie,
our
human,
I'm
sorry,
our
workforce,
diversity
specialist.
Y
I'm
excited
to
sit
before
you
today
and
share
a
review
of
the
2018-19
hiring
season.
During
this
presentation
we
will
provide
an
update
on
both
the
recruitment
and
retention
of
educators
in
our
school
system.
Aacps
continues
to
strive
to
build
a
workforce
that
is
reflective
of
the
students
we
serve
as
we
have
shared
in
the
past.
This
is
no
easy
task
and
many
challenges
remain.
Y
The
number
of
college
students
pursuing
teachers
teaching
as
a
major
continues
to
decline.
A
report
by
the
united
states
department
of
education
found
that
a
mere
eight
percent
of
college
students
pursue
teaching
as
a
major
the
percentage
of
diverse
college
students
pursuing
teaching
as
a
major
is
even
lower
at
four
percent.
Y
Finally,
only
76
percent
of
african-american
college
students
who
pursue
education
as
a
major
actually
go
into
teaching
as
a
career
versus
95
percent
for
caucasian
students.
Despite
these
challenges,
we
remain
steadfast
in
our
goals
and
we
continue
to
look
for
innovative
ways
to
tackle
these
issues.
Y
It
is
also
worth
noting
that
18
were
aacps
employees
working
in
other
capacities,
who
became
certified
teachers
56
of
our
new
hires
completed
their
student
teaching,
internships
with
anne
arundel,
county
public
schools
and
155
of
our
new
hires.
Approximately
22
percent
were
graduates
of
anne
arundel
county
public
schools,
as
we
continue
to
value
diversity
and
recognize
the
enrichment
and
benefits
diversity
brings
to
our
students,
educational
experiences.
We
are
excited
to
report
that
23.71
of
our
new
teachers
were
diverse
and
20
percent
were
male
as
of
october
8..
Y
In
addition
to
our
successful
recruitment
season
in
may
of
2018,
anne
arundel
county
public
schools
was
selected
as
the
recipient
of
the
james
w
rouse
excellence
in
diversity
award
in
the
category
of
education
employer.
During
the
awards
presentation,
several
of
our
diversity
initiatives
were
highlighted,
along
with
other
winning
organizations.
Y
Z
Z
We
are
continuing
to
evaluate
additional
recruitment
opportunities
with
more
diverse
colleges
and
universities,
including
historically
black
colleges
and
universities,
also
known
as
hbcus
to
help
cultivate
additional
relationships
with
additional
hbcus.
I
will
be
attending
the
dream
deferred
conference
later
this
month,
which
brings
together
hbcu
leaders
from
across
the
country.
Z
We
extended
136
open
contracts
to
strong
candidates
in
order
to
secure
their
employment.
With
our
district,
we
especially
focused
on
top
diverse
applicants
and
high
performing
student
interns
98
of
the
candidates.
We
offered
open
contracts
accepted
positions
with
aacps,
which
is
72
percent
of
total
offers.
Z
In
addition,
hr
representatives
proactively
reached
out
to
principals
to
help
identify
highly
qualified
student
interns
and
offer
open
contracts.
Our
hr
recruiters
are
also
scheduling
on-site
visits
at
student
intern
workshop
internship
worksites
in
an
effort
to
build
relationships
with
interns,
answer
questions
and
provide
guidance
regarding
the
hiring
process.
Z
With
the
assistance
of
dedicated
staff
in
the
office
of
workforce
diversity,
we
contacted
nearly
850
diverse
teacher
applicants
applying
to
teaching
positions
within
our
district
during
these
communications
candidates
were
informed
of
missing
information
in
their

scheduled
for
interviews
and
encouraged
to
attend

was
attended
by

nearly
50

in
order
to
share
information
regarding

such
as
information
on
upcoming

Finally,
we
continue
to
host

or
others
who
may
wish
to
consider

Z
Attendees
were
also
encouraged
to
consider
substitute
teaching
as
a
way
to
gain
valuable
classroom
experience.
This
workshop
was
attended
by
over
100
individuals,
of
which
approximately
40
percent
were
diverse.
I
will
now
turn
the
presentation
over
to
ms
sue
chittim
to
share
information
regarding
turnover
and
teacher
retention.
AA
Good
afternoon,
while
our
recruitment
team
utilizes
numerous
strategies
to
hire
the
best
employees,
we
must
do
equally
as
much
to
keep
them
in
our
district.
We
are
all
aware
of
the
challenges
that
face
school
districts
when
it
comes
to
retaining
teachers.
This
challenge
is
even
greater
when
you
consider
the
smaller
numbers
of
diverse
educators
within
our
system
and
their
high
demand
in
all
areas.
AA
AA
We
continue
to
evaluate
ways
to
provide
additional
support
to
teachers
who
may
require
further
professional
development
or
or
who
may
be
struggling
with
issues
pertaining
to
work-life
balance.
The
retention
rate
for
non-diverse
professionally
certified
educators
was
88
percent
at
the
end
of
2017-2018,
which
was
up
slightly
from
85
percent
during
the
previous
year.
AA
Factors
that
affected
teacher
retention
for
non-diverse
educators
were
similar
to
those
provided
for
diverse
educators.
It
is
also
important
to
note
that,
although
a
larger
number
of
non-diverse
educators
separated
from
anne
arundel
county
public
schools,
their
overall
retention
remains
higher,
given
the
fact
that
they
are
hired
at
more
than
three
times
the
rate
of
diverse
educators.
AA
The
retention
of
diverse
and
non-diverse
condition
conditionally
certified
educators
for
2017-2018
school
year
was
56
percent
and
62
62.5
percent,
respectively,
respectively.
These
numbers
represent
a
decrease
in
retention
from
the
previous
year
when
conditional
retention
was
62
percent
and
73
percent
respectively.
AA
Conditionally
certified
teachers
in
many
cases
will
have
less
classroom
experience
and
may
not
have
benefited
from
a
student
teaching
experience
prior
to
stepping
into
a
classroom.
As
the
full-time
teacher,
these
teachers
are
also
less
likely
to
be
familiar
with
the
educational
terminology
used
frequently
in
schools.
AA
There
are
numerous
strategies
that
anne
arundel
county,
public
schools
has
developed
to
attempt
to
improve
employee
retention
across
all
levels.
The
new
aacps
strategic
plan
adopted
by
the
board
includes
an
intentional
focus
on
building
relationships,
which
we
believe
is
essential
in
helping
to
improve
retention.
AA
In
addition,
aacps
has
built
in
four
critical
early
release
days
where
school
staff
receive
professional
development
on
various
topics,
including
a
required
training
on
implicit
bias.
We
are
striving
to
support
the
diverse
educators
within
our
county
in
a
number
of
ways.
We
continue
to
host
networking
events
to
provide
our
diverse
educators
with
an
opportunity
to
connect
with
colleagues
outside
of
the
classroom.
AA
These
networking
events
are
a
great
way
for
our
newer
teachers
to
form
relationships
with
other
educators
from
across
the
county.
The
office
of
workforce
diversity
has
hosted
two
networking
events
so
far
during
the
2018-19
school
year.
Over
100
teachers
have
attended
these
events
in
an
effort
to
provide
additional
support
to
recently
hired
diverse
educators,
we
have
established
a
year-long
professional
development
program.
AA
The
leads
program
which
stands
for
linking
educators
to
ensure
development
and
success
was
created
by
the
office
of
workforce
diversity
to
provide
mentoring
and
support
to
diverse
educators.
The
leeds
professional
development
series
was
established
this
school
year
and
provides
quarterly
professional
development
workshops
for
diverse
educators,
new
to
our
school
system,
funded
through
a
grant.
AA
AA
These
workshops
provide
additional
assistance
to
teachers
who
most
likely
did
not
complete
a
teacher
education
program
and
may
be
stepping
into
the
classroom
for
the
first
time.
These
voluntary
sessions
include
rotating
workshop
workshops
on
topics
such
as
classroom
management
planning
for
instruction
and
parent
communication.
AA
These
workshops
were
moved
to
evening
sessions
to
alleviate
the
need
for
substitutes
to
cover
teacher
absences.
This
year's
workshop
was
held
in
december
and
was
attended
by
approximately
40
teachers.
Our
goal
today
has
been
to
provide
you
with
some
strategies:
anne
arundel
county
public
schools
used
to
recruit
and
retain
our
employees.
We
realize
that
people
are
our
most
important
asset
and
then
employing
individuals
with
various
backgrounds.
Talents,
skills
and
perspectives
will
enhance
creativity
and
innovation
within
our
school
communities.
AA
Our
efforts
to
increase
diversity
within
our
system
helps
to
ensure
that
every
student
can
see
themselves
in
the
teachers
and
staff
members
they
interact
with
every
day.
Studies
have
shown
that
positive
exposure
to
individuals
from
various
races
and
ethnic
groups,
especially
in
childhood,
can
reduce
stereotypes,
diminish
unconscious,
implicit
biases
and
promote
cross-cultural
social
bonding.
We
continue
to
strive
to
build
a
culture
where
diversity
is
embraced
and
all
employees
feel
welcome.
We
are
happy
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
may
have
at
this
time.
R
Thank
you
for
this
presentation.
It
is,
it
was
incredible
and
the
breakout
helps
me
as
a
decision
maker
to
better
understand
your
efforts.
From
your
your
point
of
view,
and
I
had
a
couple
of
questions,
one
was
about
the
first
year
teacher
many
of
the
schools
I
can
speak
for
in
district,
one
at
least
are
considered
challenged.
Schools
challenge
schools
and
that
first
year
can
be
really
daunting.
R
Y
So
I
I
want
to
back
up
one
thing
that
we
may
not
have
covered,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
it's
really
clear.
These
are
things
above
and
beyond
what
is
offered
to
all
first-year
teachers,
so
keep
in
mind
that
all
first-year
teachers
have
a
right
start
advisor
through
our
professional
growth
and
development
office,
and
so
those
folks
know
the
schools
that
they're
working
with
very
well,
and
so
hopefully
they
are
addressing
the
needs
that
a
teacher
might
have
at
a
particular
school.
Y
Schools
also
have
something
called
a
beginning
teacher
liaison,
and
that
is
someone
to
familiarize
the
person
a
little
bit
more
with
the
actual
school
itself.
And
then,
on
top
of
that,
I
think
what
we're
talking
about
some
of
the
leads
programs
and
different
things
is
a
little
bit
more
general,
but
certainly
miss
mckenzie
does
a
great
job
of
just
meeting
the
needs
of
the
person
as
they
come.
Y
So
if
they
say
they
have
a
particular
issue,
she's
very
responsive
to
ensuring
that
we're
connecting
that
teacher
with
the
right
resources
or
answering
her
ques,
his
or
her
question
and
going
from
there.
R
Wonderful
and
that
answered
my
question,
especially
with
us,
recruiting
out
in
our
own
territory,
of
course,
but
culturally,
it
would
certainly
be
different
coming
coming
into
this
system,
so
that
was
good
to
know
so
then.
My
second
question
is
the
real
general
question,
but
I
don't
understand
an
open
contract.
Could
you
help
me
to
better
understand
that?
Please.
O
Z
An
open
offer
or
an
open
contract
is
initially
an
offer
to
a
candidate
that
we
may
have
met
on
a
recruitment
trip
saying
that
we
want
to
extend
an
extend
them,
a
position
within
anne
arundel,
county
public
schools
for
the
upcoming
school
year,
but
we
do
not
have
the
specific
school
they're
going
to
be
working
at
yet
so
we
are
initially
promising
them
or
guaranteeing
them
a
position
for
the
upcoming
school
year,
provided
that
they
meet
certain
criteria.
So,
anytime,
you
are
receiving
open
contract.
Z
Z
Z
So
the
timeline
with
an
open
offer
at
some
point,
the
teacher
must
be
placed
within
a
school.
Our
recruiters
work
very
closely
with
teachers.
Teachers
that
have
open
contracts
are
coded
in
our
applicant
tracking
system.
So
principals
can
know
these
are
really
high
flying
teachers
that
we
encourage
you
interview
first,
and
we
want
that
teacher
and
those
principals
to
make
a
mutual
match,
and
so
our
goal
is
from
the
time
they
get
hired
and
their
applications
are
cleared.
We
can
then
move
them
into
the
system
into
a
status
of
application,
complete
as
an
open
contract.
Z
Z
1St
is
the
date
we,
our
goal
is
to
make
sure
all
of
our
open
contracts
are
placed
or
with
the
school
by
july,
1st,
if
not
we're
going
to
place
them
out
of
school,
because
because
we
have
promised
them
a
position,
we
must
make
sure
that
they
have
one
before
the
beginning
of
the
next
school
year.
Wonderful.
R
And
then,
finally,
back
to
retention,
I
want
to
better
understand
some
of
the
sub
categories
that
encourage
moving
to
other
districts,
personal
reasons.
People
don't
maybe
not
divulge
that,
but
are
there
some
key
subcategories
that
may
be
encouraging,
leaving
for
other
districts
that
that
you
have
seen
or
are
aware
of.
Y
So
we
have
the
data
and
it
just
simply
when
they
choose
that
they
just
tell
us
they're
leaving
for
another
maryland
school
district-
that's
all
they
put
on
there.
So
I
can't
give
any
sort
of
data
related
to
that.
But
anecdotally,
you
know
a
lot
of
people
take
positions
the
first
time
right
out
of
college.
Y
Where
they
get
a
position,
then
their
living
situation
may
change.
They
you
know,
are
moving
somewhere
else
or
they're
moving
back
home
with
family
or
different
things
like
that,
we're
also
in
some
ways
transient
in
that
having
a
lot
of
military
affiliations
in
our
county,
with
the
naval
academy
and
with
meade,
we
often
have
military
spouses,
so
you
know
they
may
leave
for
different.
You
know
another
maryland
county
or
out
of
state.
Z
Some
of
the
data
that
we
have,
we
do
have
an
exit
survey
in
anne
arundel
county.
It
is
anonymous,
but
it
is
given
to
all
teachers
so
data
from
the
most
recent
exit
survey.
That
would
include
teachers
that
most
recently
left
us
top
five
reasons
for
leaving
separation
from
the
county
would
be.
Personal
relief
is
unrelated,
personal
reasons
unrelated
to
aacps
child
care,
moving
relocation,
compensation
or
pay
principal
or
supervisor
work
hours,
work
demands
or
expectations
or
school
district
policies
and
practices.
Z
R
K
K
In
college,
so
I'm
aware
that-
and
this
is
very
much
available
in
the
literature
that
there
there's
a
graduation
gap
at
universities
and
colleges
where
minorities
less
frequently
make
it
all
the
way
through
to
to
get
their
degree.
So
do
you
know
if
that
accounts
for
the
discrepancy,
or
are
we
talking
about
majors,
who
then
change
their
major
or
go
on
to
do
some
other
career?
Do
you
know
if.
K
So
they
don't
necessarily
break
down.
So
if
this
matches
with
that
graduation
gap,
that's
what
I'm
wondering
is
if,
if
we
can
capture
minority
education
majors
and
offer
them
some
sort
of
mentorship
because
there's,
I
guess-
challenges
hardships
that
barriers
that
create
this
gap
that
maybe,
if
they
just
had
someone
supporting
them,
counseling
them
through
their
college
career
it
might,
we
might
have
more
success.
Z
K
K
K
Think
that'd
be
great
and
then
finally,
I
I
want
to
address
wonder
I
don't
know
if
this
falls
into
the
category
of
the
conditional
certificate,
but
I
I
want
to
address
career
changers,
because
I've
had
several
people
come
to
me
with
stories
of
professionals
that
could
be
really
valuable
to
us,
physicists
mathematicians
who
have
been
very
frustrated
because
they
are
interested
in
a
career
change.
They
are
interested
in
getting
in
the
classroom
and
boy.
K
They
could
bring
a
lot
to
our
school
system,
but
they
cannot
afford
to
take
a
gap
in
their
career,
so
they
cannot
afford
to
follow
stepping
stones
in
order
to
get
into
the
classroom
they
need
to
move
from
their
career
into
the
classroom.
So
I've
been
told
of
several
people
who
have
come
to
aacps
with
that
interest
and
they're
not
looked
at
because
they
don't
have
any
sort
of
teaching
background
or
certificate.
M
Also,
let
me
jump
in
real,
quick
and
certainly
the
team
will
speak
much
more
eloquently
than
I.
We
are
always
talking
to
sort
of
career
second
career
changers,
but
they
have
to
be
certified
teachers,
so
anne
arundel
county
doesn't
determine
how
to
certify
a
teacher
in
the
state
of
maryland.
The
state
of
maryland
does,
and
so
we've
got
to
follow
those
processes
and
rules
and
regulations
to
get
somebody
through
that
process.
M
We've
talked
to
the
legislature
about
creating
ways
that
we
could
have
adjunct
teachers
much
like
adjunct
professors,
yes
and
work
with
legislation
to
see
if
we
can
get.
We
haven't
gotten
there
yet,
with
with
the
legislature,
it's
on
it's
sort
of
moving
that
directions
on
its
way.
F
M
Y
Sure
so
a
conditional
certificate
is
without
knowing
the
specifics
of
the
people
that
you
were
talking
to
and
we
would
love
in
hr.
I'm
like
we
always
want
to
talk
to
people
so
send
them
our
way,
and
we
will,
you
know,
hold
hands
and
figure
out
how
you
know
if
they
wanted
to
pursue
something
that
would
work,
but
essentially
dr
oladar's
right.
They
have
to
have
a
certificate.
Y
The
conditional
certificate
does
allow
some
career
changers
to
come
in,
but
they
have
to
be
in
some
sort
of
program
and
show
that
they
are
working
toward
it's.
A
two-year
contract
only
can
be
renewed
for
two
years,
but
at
that
point
you
need
to
be
on
a
professional
certificate,
so
we
don't
consider
that
a
professional
certificate.
Y
So
there
are
opportunities,
but
it
is
a
very
detailed
credit
review
of
what
is
on
that
person's
transcript
and
what
we
can
qualify
for
one
way
or
another,
if
I
may
add
very,
very
proud
of
the
efforts
of
anne
arundel,
county
public
schools
and
being
on
the
forefront
of
the
adjunct,
professor
bill
with
the
partnership
of
mary
tolar
and
dr
mcmahon
and
human
resources
and
policy
and
legislative
office,
we
took
a
bill
several
years
back
that
just
recently
was
written
into
komar
and
so
that
we
can
now
do
the
adjunct
instructor
route.
Y
Y
Absolutely
yeah
and
that's
something
that
we
really
want
to
look
at
is
one
people
that
just
want
to
step
their
foot
in
and
see.
If
this
is,
you
know
for
them
and
then
talk
to
them
about
how
they
could
eventually
become
a
teacher.
So
that
is
all
part
of
the
planning
that
we've
been
doing
with
mrs
tolar's
office,
and
when
did
this
become
effective,
just
it
just
went
into
komar.
I
sent
like
like
oh
two
weeks
ago
that.
K
And
I
want
to
particularly
stress
in
our
magnets
is
where
we
could
really
use
those
working
professionals.
I
mean
not
to
discredit
the
teaching
profession
in
any
way,
but
there
are
there.
There
does
come
a
point
where
students
should
be
able
to
work
with
people
who
are
working
out
in
the
field
and
particularly
in
our
magnets.
I
think
that
would
be
valuable.
Yes,
thanks.
A
Great
mrs
shawn.
B
Wonderful
presentation,
thank
you
so
much
it's
like
miss
ellis
was
reading
my
mind
on
a
bunch
of
things
that
she
said.
So
I
think
the
adjunct
professional.
B
The
adjective
teacher
thing
is
amazing
and
please
go
forth
and
make
that
a
reality
and
use
that
as
as
widely
as
you
can,
I
think
that's
fabulous
for
a
route
for
someone
switching
careers.
I
also
had
the
same
concern
about
which
policies
people
were
unhappy
with,
because
that's
certainly
our
our
jam
and
like,
if
there's
specific
things
that
need
evaluation
gosh.
B
B
So
I
know
that
there's
limits
to
what
you
can
and
cannot
ask
people
but
culturally
we're
a
very
diverse
country,
we're
certainly
a
diverse
county,
and
so
I
would
obviously
applaud
any
movement
towards
that,
because
it
only
makes
us
more
rich
as
a
community
to
have
all
those
different
points
of
view
being
alive
and
well
and
happy
in
our
schools.
So
thank
you
for
all
of
your
efforts.
A
J
Yes,
thank
you
so
much
for
your
efforts.
I
just
had
one
question,
so
you
talked
about
like
workforce
diversity
and
everything,
of
course,
so
I
was
just
wondering
the
placement
of
teachers
to
ensure
that
the
place
that
they
are
placed
at
is
diverse
as
well
with
the
teacher
workforce.
So
could
you
explain
me
how
that
works?
A
little
bit.
Y
Sure
so,
essentially,
as
mrs
mackenzie
rightfully
stated,
it's
really
a
mutual
agreement
between
the
principal
and
the
teacher,
so
teachers
choose
to
go
to
different
schools
for
a
variety
of
reasons
and
what
we're
finding
is
teachers
are
being
more
selective
because
the
way
the
market
is
right
now,
and
so
there
may
be
a
teacher
that
says
I
want
to
go
to
a
diverse
school.
I
want
to
work
in
a
title,
1
school.
I
want
to
work,
you
know,
and
so
it
could
be
teacher
self
selection.
Y
A
principal
may
be
looking
to
you
know,
make
sure
that
his
or
her
staff
properly
represents
the
students,
and
so
he
may
you
know
in
interviewing
look
for
some
different.
You
know
characteristics
or,
as
you
said,
diversity
that
are
going
to
come
out
of
the
teacher
or
applicant's
answers
in
their
interview
questions,
but
we
don't
at
this
time.
You
know
move
teachers
based
on
any
sort
of
you
know.
J
E
E
Professor
thing,
thank
you
for
sending
that
that
was
miss
corbilak
previously
and
with
this
board,
we've
been
pushing
that
for
several
years
trying
to
get
legislation
passed
for
that
and
it
was
kind
of
pushback
that
we
don't
need
legislation.
It
can
go
through
the
msde
and
we've
been
this.
The
staff
and
the
board
have
been
really
working
on
that.
E
So
I'm
thrilled
to
hear
that
that's
in
place
and
that's
something
we've
wanted
for
a
long
time,
and
so
I
missed,
I
will
make
sure
to
message:
miss
korbalak
and
let
her
know
that
that
that
all
those
efforts
that
she
started
all
those
years
ago
have
finally
come
to
fruition.
So
thank
you
all
so
much.
C
C
L
Thank
you.
Mr
president,
I
can
only
echo
what
ms
cordell
said.
I
reached
back
in
my
brain
cells
here
about
1998
1999,
when
the
division
of
human
resources
did
the
first
strategic
staffing
study
and
looking
in
a
lot
of
the
data
that
now
you
live
with
day
to
day
and
the
old
saying
the
more
things
change,
the
more
they
stay.
The
same.
Your
challenges
are
amazing,
but
the
innovation
that
you
showed
through
your
presentation
today
of
how
you
approach
it
you've
come
a
long
way.
There's
no
doubt
about
it,
and
success
is
borne
out.
L
I
do
have
two
questions,
though:
how
would
you
compare
teachers
in
the
numbers?
You
know?
I
don't
know.
If
you
have
it
exact
between
teachers,
we
lose
to
other
maryland
school
districts
versus
teachers.
We
gain
from
other
male
school
districts.
M
There
is
a
the
state
keeps
a
fact
book:
that's
updated
every
two
years:
that's
something
the
state
tracks
right!
You
can't
track
how
many
students,
how
many
teachers
leave
maryland,
go
to
iowa,
but
you
can
track
how
many
go
from
one
county
to
to
the
other
and
the
numbers
and
I'm
gonna
make
this
up,
but
they
hover
around
60,
leaving
us
and
about
62
or
63.
Coming
to
us,
that's
just
sort
of
a
general
number.
We
typically
get
just
a
few
more
coming
to
us
than
leave
us
as
a
general
member.
M
L
My
impression
as
well,
I
just
wanted
to
get
it
confirmed
and,
lastly,
what
is
the
status
of
interstate
mutual
recognition
of
certificates,
and
I
I
bring
that
from
from
the
point
of
a
military
spouse
who
has
been
teaching
in
florida
in
the
pensacola
school
district,
enable
her
husband
or
spouse
as
the
naval
aviator,
and
they
come
here
to
the
naval
academy,
and
this
individual
wants
to
consider
teaching.
She
has
a
certificate
he
or
she
has
a
certificate
in
florida.
Z
Know
so
one
of
the
great
things
about
the
state
of
maryland
is
that
we
have
reciprocity
with
pretty
much
every
state.
We
have
several
different
routes
to
certification
that
we
can
apply
an
out-of-state
certificate
to.
So
we
can
look
at
that
person's
program
and
test.
We
can
look
at
how
many
years
that
they've
been
teaching
in
their
certificate,
so
we
pretty
much
can
accept
teaching
certificates
from
virtually
every
state.
K
Just
real
quick,
I
can't
stop
thinking
about
this
adjunct.
Professor
thing
can:
is
there
a
way
we
can
blast?
That
I
mean
I'm
very
excited
to
hear
about
this.
You
know
on
our
facebook
page
thinking
about
getting
an.
Are
you
a
professional
who
would
like
to
be
in
the
classroom?
You
know
something
so
people
know
because,
like
I
said,
I've
had
many
people
have
conversations
with
me.
I
can't
follow
up
with
them.
I
don't
know
who
they
are
anymore,
but.
Y
I
think
when
the
time
is
right,
we
would
love
to
do
that.
I'm
not
sure
we're
there
yet,
because
there's
some
professional
development
components
that
we
need
to
develop
before
we
can
do
that,
because
the
regulation
is
very
prescriptive
and
that
we
have
to
have
the
adjunct
instructors
doing
certain
things,
and
so
I
don't
want
to
advertise
something
prior
to
us
having
the
infrastructure
to
really
support
it.
Y
But
as
soon
as
we
do,
I
am
right
on
board-
and
I
think
you
know
also
in
working
with
curriculum
and
instruction
and
dr
mcmahon
and
mrs
talaran
to
make
sure
we're
really
picking
the
right
classes
and
really
having
a
good
idea,
because
also,
as
mrs
chittim
could
speak,
to
better
than
anyone.
The
scheduling
piece
at
the
high
school
level
is
also
an
issue
because
you
can't
just
have
a
whole
bunch
of
0.1
teachers.
So
there's
a
little
bit
of
logistics.
We
need
to
work
out,
but
then
we're
ready
to
go
after
that.
Thank.
M
You-
and
this
is
we
are-
we
are
as
excited
about
this
as
you
are,
if
not
more.
This
is
and,
and
mrs
humber
alluded
to
it-
this
has
been
an
ongoing
conversation
for
us
and
staff
for
a
number
of
years,
and
it
comes
from
when
you
talked
about
stem
programs
and
our
choice
programs.
M
And
so
we
have
a
when,
when
the
time
is
right,
when
we
have
the
now
that
it's
in
through
the
register
and
we've
got
and
the
infrastructures
built
to
support
them
based
on
what
the
law
requires,
we
really
have
a
ready-made
mechanism
to
communicate
with
northrop
grumman
and
all
of
these
other
business
partners,
because
the
business
partners,
the
fort
meade
alliance,
they
already
exist,
and
we
have
business
advisories
for
all
of
our
choice
programs.
So
we
have
the
business
partners
out
there.
M
A
Okay,
no
additional
lights
are
are
here.
I
just
want
to
echo
the
thanks
and
then
also
say
a
special
thank
you
for
chart
a2
having
that
additional
breakout
is
has
extremely
helpful,
and
I
appreciate
that
I
know,
and
you
know
getting
data,
and
then
you
know
breaking
it
out
even
further
that
that
comes
with
you
know,
effort
and
time,
but
I
do
appreciate
seeing
those
numbers.
So
thank
you
for
that
and
at
this
point
any
public
comment
seeing
none.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you
all.
