more
amazing
next

and
I.
Thank
you
again
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
this
afternoon.
Cool.
C
That
brings
us
to
item
4.02
the
president's
report.
So
a
couple
of
things
I
want
to
mention
I
believe
Dr.
Bedell
may
say
more
about
this,
but
on
March,
24th,
Mr,
silkworth,
Dr,
Bedell
and
I
were
delighted
to
attend
a
wonderful
event
at
Annapolis
High
School
celebrating
the
Unified
School
Champion
award
for
the
unity
program,
Unified
sports
program
that
they
have
and
as
I
said,
I
think
there
will
be
more
about
that,
but
it
was
a
wonderful
wonderful
day
and
congratulations
to
Annapolis
High
and
all
those
involved.
C
Also
on
March
24th
I
was
had
the
opportunity
to
visit
Monarch,
Annapolis
and
I
want
to
thank
the
staff
and
the
board
for
taking
the
time
to.
Let
me
spend
some
time
with
them
and
visit
the
school.
It
was
as
always
a
great
opportunity
to
see
some
of
the
many
options
that
are
available
to
our
students
from
throughout
the
county
on
March
27th
I
was
thrilled
to
attend
the
annual
aacps
stem
Awards
this
year
held
at
Maryland
Hall.
C
Congratulations
to
all
the
incredible
student
winners
and
they're
amazing
teachers
also
winners,
and
for
those
of
you
who
don't
know
those
teachers
are
nominated
by
the
students
who
win
the
awards
and
they
nominate
a
teacher
who
has
been
particularly
significant
for
them
and
I
think
there
was
one
particular
moment
of
note
when
a
student
who
won
from
who's
currently
attending
our
Virtual
Academy
had
nominated
his
second
grade
teacher,
who
of
course,
he's
now
in
high
school
senior
in
high
school.
C
His
second
grade
teacher,
who
came
who
was
there
and
to
tell
her
just
what
a
difference
she
had
made
in
his
life.
So
it
was
a
reminder
of
how
powerful
a
profession
teaching
really
is.
C
C
And
then,
finally,
the
board
and
Dr
Bedell
were
all
actually
out
of
town
last
weekend
attending
the
national
school
board
association
annual
conference
I
again,
you
may
hear
more
about
that
later,
but
I.
Suffice
it
to
say
at
least
speaking
for
myself.
It's
always
a
great
opportunity
to
get
out,
see
what's
happening
in
school
boards
around
the
country,
get
ideas
and
learn
about
initiatives.
That
I
think
are
things
we
can
bring
back
to
our
district.
O
Good
afternoon
Dr
Tobin
members
of
the
board
superintendent.
Thank
you.
Yesterday
afternoon
we
did
meet
for
our
monthly
policy
meeting.
It
was
a
very
successful
meeting.
We
discussed
several
policies,
one
of
which
was
that
will
come
before
you
during
the
next
session.
I'm.
Sorry,
let
me
get
back
down
here
to
you
in
particular
that
we'll
talk
about
the
code
of
conduct
and
discuss
about
the
upcoming
placement
of
the
American
flag.
Those
policies
will
become
before
you
I
know.
O
A
lot
of
board
members
had
conversations
with
me
about
when
there
was
the
put
out
so
after
a
lot
of
conversations
we're
now
at
a
point
to
where
we're
ready
to
bring
those
before
the
board
members
and
take
them
out
of
committee
other
than
that
for
the
good
of
the
order.
We
are
taking
some
consideration
at
looking
at
parental
rights
and
discussing
that
in
more
detail
and
I
hope
that
everyone
out
there
will
take
the
time
out
to
when
they're
posted,
to
comment
on
those
those
policies.
C
You
Miss,
Dan
and
I
also
want
to
extend
as
a
member
of
the
equity
committee,
thanks
to
Midsummer
for
her
presentation
to
us
yesterday
on
grading
policy.
I
found
that
exceedingly
helpful
and
I
want
to
thank
her
for
taking
the
time
to
do
that
and
thank
Ms
Wilson
for
facilitating
that.
C
That
brings
us
to
item
4.0
for
the
equity
committee
report.
Mr
McGrath
had
to
leave
early
to
attend
something
else,
and
I
will
just
say
that
we
continue
as
again
as
a
member
of
the
equity
committee.
We
continue
to
work
towards
developing
a
process
for
student
recognition.
C
D
You,
madam
president,
good
evening
to
all
or
afternoon
to
all
who
are
tuned
in
and
in
attendance
here
today.
I
did
want
to
just
give
a
quick
overview
of
the
nsba
I've
had
a
great
opportunity,
along
with
all
of
the
board
members
to
attend
that
conference
and
I.
Think
there
were
a
lot
of
wonderful
sessions.
I
would
add
one
piece
that
I
know
Dr,
Tobin
and
I
have
spoken
about,
which
is
next
year.
D
It's
our
intent
when
we
attend
the
conference
to
also
present
and
do
some
sessions,
because
I
think
we
here
have
a
lot
to
offer
at
a
national
level
of
some
of
the
practices
and
some
of
the
things
that
we
put
in
place
that
could
potentially
be
replicated
at
other
school
districts.
So
I
look
forward
to
having
that
opportunity
to
to
share
some
of
good
work
that
we're
doing
here
in
Anne,
Arundel
County
next
year,
I
also
prior
to
heading
out
for
that
conference,
attended
Unity
day
PD
professional
development
at
Germantown
Elementary.
D
It
was
a
wonderful
experience
and
opportunity
to
take
a
look
at
the
work
that
we're
doing
with
Loretta
zoretta
Hammond's
research
and
seeing
it
play
out
in
our
schools
just
from
a
pedagogical
and
practical
standpoint.
So
I
want
to
thank
the
administrators
there,
along
with
the
faculty
and
staff
for
welcoming
me,
I,
don't
know
where
Mr
Moser
is
but
I
know
he's
dealing
with
some.
D
So
we
have
you
all
can
control
okay,
so
let
me
get
into
it
because
we
have
a
video
we
want
to
share
with
you
all
regarding
unified
I
want
to
start
off
by
highlighting
some
outstanding
accomplishments.
As
you
are
aware,
Annapolis
High
School
was
recently
named
a
national,
unified,
Champion
school
by
Special,
Olympics
and
ESPN
for
for
its
efforts
at
instilling
a
sense
of
belonging
for
all
students,
particularly
through
the
Unified
sports
program.
The
celebration
took
place
recently
at
halftime
of
the
school
student
faculty
basketball
game.
D
There's
a
lot
that
I
could
say
about
this,
but
rather
than
do
that,
ask
that
you
take
a
look
at
this
piece
by
Channel
11's
Tim
Wooten,
which
Tim
tooten,
which
sums
it
up
perfectly.
T
U
R
All
about
the
inclusion
Revolution
with
Special
Olympics
and
with
ESPN,
and
so
to
bring
those
together.
It's
really
really
important,
now
more
than
ever,
especially
in
a
world
where,
where
there's
a
lot
of
division,
and
so
when
we
can
really
spread
that
message
of
Love,
of
Hope
and
and
of
inclusion,
it's
really
really
important.
V
W
What
I
really
appreciate
about
the
unified
Champion
School
award?
Is
that
that's
what
it's
all
about?
It's
about,
recognizing
how
inclusive
Annapolis
High
School
is
it's
about
recognizing
how
much
we
embrace
all
of
our
students
and
that's
a
that's,
a
huge
Testament
to
our
teachers,
to
our
staff,
to
all
of
our
students.
D
T
D
I,
you
know,
I've
been
talking
about
inclusion
since
I've
come
to
this
school
district,
I've
been
talking
about
access
acceptance
for
how
people
show
up
and
and
making
sure
that
everybody
will
have
Fair
opportunity
to
achieve
their
dreams
and
their
goals,
and
this
is
just
an
example
of
what
that
looks
like
at
Annapolis,
High
School,
and
we
have
a
number
of
other
high
schools
that
are
strong
within
this
too
I
believe
there
are
only
five
that
get
this
award
nationally
if
I'm
not
mistaken.
D
So
that
is
a
huge
accomplishment
for
the
faculty
and
staff
over
at
Annapolis.
High,
School
and
I
definitely
want
to
commend
them.
Also
in
the
National,
Spotlight
is
broadnecks
high
schools,
Melissa
Quigley,
who
was
named
national
health
education
teacher
of
the
year
by
shape
America
Melissa,
has
spent
all
21
years
of
her
aacps
career
at
Broadneck,
and
is
someone
that
students
and
staff
alike
look
to
for
guidance
and
inspiration?
Congratulations
to
Melissa
Quigley
all
right.
D
So
this
is
some
probably
welcomed
information
I'm
about
to
provide
for
all
of
our
faculty
and
staff,
and
this
is
a
school
year.
Calendar

I
know
everyone
missed
the
snow
days
this
year,
but
here's
some
good
news
summer
school

earlier,
barring
any
unforeseen
closures.
The
last

for
most
of
our
students

Madam
president.
That
concludes
my
report.
C
D
Right,
thank
you,
madam
chair.
We
will
have
our
staff
to
come
up
in
Miss,
Reese
and
I
and
I
know
I
blinked
out
on
the
other
name.
I'm
gonna.
Have
you
all
do
your
introductions
personally
to
everybody
for
the
record,
but
we
are
excited
about
this
presentation.
We've
had
an
opportunity
to
go
through
two
dry
runs.
It
is
a
very
positive
presentation
that
I
think
will
leave
everybody
feeling
good
about
the
work
that
we're
doing
in
this
space.
So
I'll
pass
it
over
to
you
all.

X
X
This
law
includes
an
increase
in
transparency
of
Wellness
policies,
along
with
the
requirement
to
evaluate
School
Wellness
policies
at
the
local
and
school
level.
In
2011,
the
wellness
Council
created
a
competition
for
all
schools.
The
development
of
the
wellness
schools
of
Distinction
award
kicked
off
in
2011-2012
with
three
School
winners
in
just
that
first
year
since
Inception
aacps
awarded
over
25
schools,
this
distinction
highlighting
the
great
work
that
we
do
in
aacps.
X
These
schools
are
also
destination
meetings
for
the
wellness
Council,
which
allows
the
membership
to
see
Wellness
in
action.
At
a
wellness,
School
of
Distinction,
the
University
of
Maryland
school
of
medicine
administered
a
survey
to
all
aacps
schools
in
2013
gathering
information
about
Wellness
initiative
at
the
school
level.
They
followed
up
with
a
second
survey
in
2016,
and
then
staff
from
the
University
of
Maryland
school
of
medicine
participated
in
board
presentations
in
both
April
2014
in
April
of
2018
sharing
the
results
of
the
survey.
X
This
moves
us
right
along
to
2019,
where
msde
created
a
scorecard
that
focused
on
nutrition
and
physical
activity.
This
tool
was
administered
for
the
next
few
years.
The
wellness
council
members
were
determined
to
update
and
administer
A
New
Wellness
scorecard
to
better
align
with
the
CDC
coordinated
school
health
model.
X
X
G
This
year
the
council
developed
and
implemented
A
New
Wellness
scorecard
reviewing
all
10
components
of
the
coordinated
school
health
model.
The
scorecard
allows
for
schools
to
evaluate
their
performance
in
each
of
the
10
areas,
focusing
on
four
pillars:
students,
staff,
parents
and
community.
Each
section
also
allows
for
students
to
highlight
I'm
sorry
schools
to
highlight
the
various
best
practices
that
are
implemented
at
the
school
level.
G
The
scorecard
concludes
by
asking
each
school
to
create
a
wellness,
focused
goal
with
action,
steps
and
responsible
team
members.
Wellness
Council
memberships
support
School
Wellness
teams.
In
reaching
these
goals,
we
are
once
again
excited
and
proud
to
announce
that
we
have
a
hundred
percent
participation
and
completion,
and
now
it
is
time
to
unveil
the
results
of
our
new
Anne
Arundel
County
Public
Schools
Wellness
scorecard
we'd
like
to
share
a
few
highlights
with
you
this
year.
X
Let's
first
begin
with
the
physical
environment,
where
nearly
75
percent
of
the
schools
strongly
agree
or
agree
that
they
have
Outdoor
Learning
areas
that
are
regularly
utilized
by
students
and
staff.
We
recognize
that
25
percent
of
the
schools
are
still
working
towards
providing
an
outdoor
learning
area
and
we
plan
to
support
these
schools
in
creating
a
positive
outdoor
environment.
X
As
you
will
see
in
all
of
these
slides,
like
in
every
part
of
our
school
system.
There's
areas
where
we
may
need
work,
but
we
are
committed
to
work
and
support
all
schools
in
All
Wellness
initiatives.
You
can
see
in
this
slide.
There's
students
engaged
in
outdoor
classrooms
at
rolling
Knowles
and
Jones
Elementary
School.
You
can
also
see
the
commitment
to
Outdoor
Learning
areas
via
our
design
and
construction
of
new
schools,
which
includes
inclusive
outdoor
areas
such
as
this
at
Old
Mill,
West,
High,
School,.
G
Next
we'd
like
to
highlight
that
85.6
percent
of
schools
strongly
agree
and
agree
that
they
are
purposefully
incorporating
movement
opportunities
throughout
the
school
day.
Our
curriculum
and
instruction
content
coordinators
are
purposely
incorporating
opportunities
for
movement
into
the
written
curriculum,
so
teachers
have
ready
to
use
strategies
to
implement
in
their
classrooms.
G
Here
you
will
see
students
at
Marley,
Glenn
special
Center,
utilizing
their
sensory
walk.
You
will
also
see
students
at
South,
Shore,
Elementary
School
participating
in
one
of
our
elementary
dance
residencies,
and
you
will
also
see
teachers
participating
in
movement
activities
during
a
professional
development
to
use
in
their
schools.
X
The
next
slide
indicates
that
nearly
three
quarters
of
the
schools
strongly
agree
or
agree
that
workshops
are
available
to
families
on
Wellness
topics.
Our
Family
Academy
provides
family
access
to
workshops
and
resources
to
use
on
their
own
time
through
the
online
portal.
We
also
offer
person
in-person
parent
workshops,
and
here
we
have
several
of
those
workshops
in
action
and
check
out
that
great
attendance.
G
Next
schools
agree
and
strongly
agree
that
facilities
are
available
for
all
stakeholders
outside
of
school
Wellness
of
school
hours.
Students
rank
the
highest
with
92
percent
staff
is
a
close
second,
with
90
percent,
followed
by
the
community
at
88
percent
and
parents
at
86
percent.
We
continue
to
work
with
schools
on
ways
to
engage
the
community
in
Wellness
activities
outside
of
the
school
day.
G
G
G
As
Dr
Bedell
has
mentioned,
in
many
interactions,
creating
a
sense
of
belonging
in
our
schools
is
vital
to
creating
a
positive,
inclusive,
School
environment.
There
are
many
groups
and
organizations
that
formed
pre-covered
like
the
Teen
Mental
Health
advisory
and
the
Anne
Arundel
County
Mental
Health
advisory.
These
are
just
two
examples
of
initiatives
in
place
to
support
the
social
and
emotional
climate
in
our
school
system.
To
close
our
highlights
from
this
year's
Wellness
Council
scorecard,
we
want.
G
Initiatives
like
the
kindness
cup
competition,
kindness
walks
in
the
community,
Wellness
walls
or
Post-It
note
walls
of
Hope,
where
students
can
grab
a
Post-It
with
a
positive
affirmation.
There
are
so
many
Wellness
initiatives
in
place
to
support
a
healthy
body
and
mind,
while
also
promoting
kindness
to
all
schools,
continue
to
create
opportunities
where
all
students
feel
welcomed
and
included
like
our
unified
PE
dance
and
art
courses,
and
also
our
Unified
sports.
X
So
you
may
be
thinking
what
are
the
next
steps?
We
will
continue
to
work
with
schools
to
strengthen
positive
Wellness
outcomes
in
all
10
areas
of
the
CDC
coordinated
school
health
model.
We
will
continue
to
maintain
100
participation
in
the
evaluation
of
All
Wellness
initiatives
at
the
school
level,
utilizing
our
new
aacps
Wellness
scorecard,
and
we
will
also
continue
to
promote
and
encourage
the
use
of
the
aacps
wellness
toolkit
located
on
aacps.org
and,
lastly,
we're
going
to
continue
to
assess
Wellness
initiatives
at
the
school
and
county
level
to
better
serve
our
students,
staff
and
communities.
G
On
behalf
of
the
wellness
Council,
we
thank
Mrs
Jackson
for
her
vision
and
Leadership,
and
we
thank
each
of
you
for
the
opportunity
to
highlight
Wellness
initiatives
in
Anne,
Arundel
County,
Public
Schools.
It
is
evident
that
aacps
is
not
only
leading
the
state,
but
the
nation
in
Wellness
initiatives.
G
C
L
I
want
to
thank
you
not
only
on
your
fabulous
presentation,
but
on
the
work
you
all
do
every
day,
it's
it's
obvious
and
every
I
enjoy
coming
to
the
wellness
Council
meetings
occasionally,
but
even
when
I
am
not
at
a
meeting
when
I'm,
just
in
a
School
volunteering,
it's
obvious
so
I
just
want
to
I
want
to
let
you
know
that
your
work
is
amazing
and
thank
you
so
much
for
everything
you
do
to
spearhead
all
these
initiatives
in
our
schools.
Thank.
C
I
also
would
just
like
to
add,
as
a
parent
of
a
2020
graduate
I've,
always
been
amazed
at
the
tools
she
has
for
and
the
self-awareness
she
has
for
handling
difficult
situations
that
come
up
and
she'll
often
just
say.
Well,
you
know
when
I
was
in
this
class.
C
I
was
taught
this,
and
this
was
part
of
our
activity
and
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
the
continuing
work
to
that
permeates
what
our
students
receive,
because
that's,
ultimately,
what
tells
you
that
you,
that
this
is
working,
that
they
have
what
they
need
as
they
move
forward,
and
I
too,
am
so
grateful
for
the
opportunities
I've
had
to
attend
some
of
your
meetings
and
to
see
the
incredible
work
that
is
being
done
with
so
many
different
partners,
and
you
know,
and
to
thank
you
for
your
leadership
and
your
your
Devotion
to
our
students
and
your
faith
in
our
students.
Y
M
D
All
right,
Madam
president,
the
superintendent
recommends
that
the
Board
of
Education
authorized
the
award
of
contracts
in
items
dot
numbered
6.01
through
6.08.
L
C
All
right,
thank
you,
so
I
do
have
oh
I,
see
I,
see
a
light.
Miss
Frank
I.
Y
Have
a
brief
question
on
the
exterior
door:
6.03:
that's
it
Northeast
Middle,
School,
Bedell,
Dr,
Del
and
I.
You
and
I
went
on
a
walk
through
there.
Recently
I
just
wanted
to
know.
Was
this
one
of
the
results
of
that?
Or
does
this
happen
to
come
up
prior
to
that.
Q
Z
C
And
I
have
an
additional
question
about
item
6.0
for
the
mobile
registration
van
I
was
just
curious
about
this.
Is
this
something
we
have
previously
done.
Z
Again
for
the
record
Matt
stansky
acting
Chief
Operating
Officer;
no,
it
is
not
so
this
is
something
new
we
you
know
about.
A
year
ago,
we
sat
down
with
the
English
language
development
team
when
we
got
our
annual
Grant
funds
and
and
the
state
was
sort
of
pushing
for
you
know,
innovative
ways
to
engage
the
community
and
this
you
know
this
idea
came
about
and
and
so
yeah
we've
pursued
it
and
so
really
it
is.
Z
You
know
when
you
have
new
families
arriving
in
the
United
States,
they
cannot
attend
school
until
they
enroll
in
our
International
Welcome
Center
find
sometimes
for
those
families
it's
difficult
to
get
to
the
center,
and
so
we
thought
why
not
go
to
where
they're
at,
and
so
the
idea
is
to
have
this
mobile
unit
that
can
enroll
students
give
them
their
English
proficiency
test
right
there
on
the
spot,
provide
them.
Other
services
communicate
other
services
that
are
available
to
them
out
in
the
community,
and
so
that's
the
that's.
Z
D
And
I'll
I'll
just
say
this:
it's
it's
kind
of
no
different
than
some
of
which
you
will
see
even
with
the
refrigeration
van
when
I
first
got
here,
I
think
the
first
one
of
the
first
visits
was
out
in
South
County,
and
it
was
principals
administrators,
I
guess
once
a
week
or
once
a
month
they
would
go
out
into
the
community
to
provide
bag
lunches
and
do
on-site
registration
provide
I,
don't
know
library,
books,
all
kind
of
stuff
it
was,
it
was
impressive,
I
was
I,
was
actually
face.
D
Timing
or
recording
and
I
was
showing
other
superintendents
like
man.
You
won't
believe
some
of
the
things
that
they're
doing
out
in
this
school
district
and
so
to
now
have
this
opportunity
to
get
approval
for
this
mobile
registration
van.
You
know,
I,
think
my
push
as
a
superintendent
has
always
been.
How
can
we
remove
barriers?
I
mean
that's
we
if
we
can
create
a
barrier-free
environment
where
everybody
will
be
able
to
access
all
of
the
resources
the
school
district
has
to
to
offer.
D
This
is
just
the
beginning:
there's
a
lot
of
different
Dynamics
across
the
county,
so
they're
going
to
be
other
initiatives
and
out
of
the
box
things
that
we
do,
that
might
be
more
relevant
for
another
part
of
the
county
than
it
is
for
other
parts.
But
this
is
what
we
want
to
do.
Customize
on
the
the
experiences,
so
everybody
can
can
truly
have
access.
So
thank
you,
Mr,
stansky
and
team
for
this
piece.
C
N
Thank
you,
president
Tobin.
Thank
you.
Mr,
sansky
and
and
Dr
Bedell
I'll,
just
sort
of
lift
up
what
Dr
Bedell
had
said,
and,
of
course,
you
know
when
we
were
trying
to
feed
everyone
and
Miss
I
see
Miss
Reese's
still
in
the
house
here.
N
It
was
that
type
of
thinking
outside
of
the
box
that
got
our
our
folks
and
our
families
fed
down
there
and
our
community
of
Hope
is
one
of
the
strongest
I
am
very
proud
that
we
are
one
of
the
strongest
most
active
Community
hopes
in
our
County,
and
these
initiatives
are
so
critical
rural
you're
in
a
transportation
desert
and
an
area
where
we
have
some
of
our
most
vulnerable
population.
So
on
behalf
of
them
and
the
families
I
want
to
just
say
major.
N
Thank
you
and
I
look
forward
to
these
opportunities
in
the
future,
because
I
think
we
opened
up
some
doors
of
approach
and,
with
the
addition
of
van
in
general,
I
think
that
it
shed
some
light
on
some
great
opportunities.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you
and.
D
And
if
I
could
we,
we
have
some
more
pilots
and
some
things
that
we're
doing
that
we
will
eventually
introduce
to
the
board
as
we
head
into
the
upcoming
school
year.
So
we're
really
excited
some
of
the
things
with
blueprint
that
we
want
to
start
looking
at
now,
so
we're
going
to
try
to
get
ahead
of
the
curb
and
and
really
get
our
action
research
data
now.
So
we
are
ready
to
you
know
when
it's
time
for
this
stuff
to
really
be
100
in
in
position
for
us
to
implement.
D
N
And
and
I'll
just
say
to
our
partnership
with
the
county
is
very
strong
in
this
capacity
and
behind
the
scenes
there
is
a
whole
bunch
of
folks,
great
working
folks
that
work
with
Miss
Jackson,
Miss,
Reese
and
and
the
entire
team
constantly
to
reduce
the
amount
of
families
who
fall
in
the
cracks
and
and
getting
them
out,
even
albeit
one
at
a
time
is,
is
awesome
and
so
being
part
of
that
Collective
community
is
nothing
but
spectacular
and
I
look
forward
to
continued
progress
and
results.
Thank
you.

Q
Good
afternoon
Dr
Bedell,
president
Tobin
and
members
of
the
board
for
the
record
Grace
Wilson
legislative
and
policy
specialist
policy.
Ka
is
before
you
on
third
reading.
It
was
last
revised
in
2013
and
is
being
amended
to
I'm
sorry,
establishes
criteria
for
displaying
and
distributing
printed
informational
materials
and
announcements
in
schools,
whether
to
be
sent
home
with
students
or
displayed
in
the
school.
Q
The
policies
being
amended
to
up
to
bring
it
into
compliance
with
current
event,
procedures
to
clarify
circumstances
under
which
material
may
be
displayed
or
distributed
by
schools
and
to
make
the
distribution
of
process
more
efficient,
and
with
that
I'd
be
happy
to
take
any
questions
you
may
have.
Thank
you.
AA
Y
I
have
had
in
in
previous
conversations
concerns
about
this
policy.
The
people
were
unhappy
with
not
being
allowed
to
have
their
information
distributed
in
the
school.
I
am
going
to
support
this
policy
today,
but
I
just
wanted
to
make
the
statement
that
we
have
to
conduct
business
and
we
have
to
draw
the
line
and
we
don't
necessarily
have
the
ability
to
operate
and
and
address
everyone's
concern
all
the
time.
Y
So,
while
I
do
understand
that
you
know
certain
groups
have
reached
out
to
me
and
said,
I
would
really
like
to
have
my
my
things
distributed.
I
would
really
like
to
have
them
promote
it.
We
just
can't
do
that
at
all
times
for
all
groups,
so
we
have
to
draw
a
line,
and
this
is
I
think
a
responsible
place
to
do
so
so
I
will
be
supporting
this
policy.
Y
C
L
L
L
So
we
all
know
that
the
budget
is
a
statement
of
values
and
this
year,
especially
we're
making
progress
in
a
lot
of
areas
dating
very
clearly
what
we
need
to
what
we
need
to
progress
from
good
to
great
one
area.
However,
that
we've
made
no
real
movement
on
during
the
time
I've
been
on
the
board
is
the
Power
and
Light
line
item
which
is
fully
funded
this
year
will
stand
north
of
20
million
dollars,
20
million
dollars.
L
So
during
the
nsba
conference,
which
we
all
just
attended,
I
was-
and
there
was
a
lot
of
great
things
to
choose
from
so
it's
not
like
it's
surprising
I
was
the
only
board
member
that
attended
the
session
on
the
topic
of
budget
neutral
sustainability
initiatives
and
while
I
love,
seeing
solar
ready
in
our
Ed,
specs
I,
know
I
know
we
can
do
better
and
when
we
know
better,
we
should
do
better
understanding
that
we
are
still
in
the
process
of
auditing
opportunities
in
this
area.
L
I
hope
we
can
move
on
this
line
item
and
on
solar
in
particular
as
soon
as
possible.
So
my
question
with
regard
to
this
Ed
Speck
and
the
next
one
is:
have
we
considered
tax
exempt
at
least
purchasing
or
power
agreement,
so
we
can
finally
make
some
movement
towards
potentially
millions
of
dollars
of
savings
annually
in
this
area.
This
would
apply
to
both
these
aspects.
Z
Oh
for
the
record
Matt
stansky
acting
Chief,
Operating,
Officer
and
I'll.
Let
the
my
distinguished
colleagues
to
my
right
here
introduce
themselves
Jeff.
AB
AB
The
buildings
that
we're
opening
this
year,
which
are
the
three
elementary
schools,
are
all
solar
ready,
as
you
mentioned.
In
addition,
every
new
aspect
that
we
have
on
the
table
today
with
us
is
solar
ready.
Our
goal
is
to
pursue
a
power
purchase
agreement
on
those
facilities,
so
with
it
being
solar,
ready,
raceways
areas
where
the
solar
panels
could
be
installed
would
be
available
to
us
when
we
enter
those
agreements
and.
AB
You
kind
of
have
a
prime
window
between
three
and
five
years
after
it's
opened.
We
want
to
time
it
so
that
we
have
enough
space
available
to
make
the
power
purchase
agreement
with
multiple
buildings
beneficial
to
us,
there's
a
certain
space
requirement
that
makes
it
more
economical
for
us
to
purchase
when
they
can
supply
more
area
and
that's
kind
of
what
we're
waiting
for
more
buildings
to
open
up
that
are
solar
ready
to
enter
into
one
of
those
agreements.
So.
L
F
L
AB
With
the
power
purchase,
agreement,
you're
still
purchasing
the
power
at
a
reduced
rate
from
those
utilities
that
are
operating
the
solar
farm
on
top
of
your
building,
so
you're
still
going
to
be
purchasing
power
from
them,
pursuing
an
agreement
where
we
would
buy
solar
panels,
there's
still
an
upfront
cost
associated
with
buying
those
panels,
so
I
think
either
way
you
slice
it
we're
looking
at
purchasing
power
in
one
form
or
the
other.
L
AB
L
Okay,
well
I'll
drop
it
for
today,
but
I
I.
Just
think
we
can.
We
could
look
into
this.
We
should
be
constantly
reevaluating
what
the
sweet
spot
is.
You
know
what
what
what
these
companies
can
do
for
us
today.
You
know
this
is
not
new
this.
This
is
not
a
new
argument.
I
know
companies
right
now
that
have
solar
on
really
on
roof
real
estate
and
other
leas
in
this
in
this
state.
So
this
is
not.
This
is
not
new
and
I.
Just
I
just
hope
that
we
can
start
saving
our
money.
L
AB
Now
we're
we're
undergoing
a
feasibility
study
for
decarbonization
and
we
should
have
those
results
by
the
end
of
the
year
and
that
will
kind
of
dictate
future
aspects
and
performance
standards
that
we're
going
to
be
designing
our
buildings
to
okay,
okay,.

The

further

count
towards
that
35
percent
with
a
lottery
to
determine
admission,
if
necessary,
any
fifth
grade
sibling
of
a
current

Middle
School
Middle

School
student
weather

I.
Don't

AC
D
AD
Great
thank
you
Dr
Bedell,
so
good
afternoon,
president
Tobin
vice
president
silkworth
members
of
the
board
and
Dr
Bedell
for
the
record.
My
name
is
Pat
crane,
director
of
alternative
programs
for
the
district.
You
have
before
you
a
request
from
the
Chesapeake
Lighthouse
Foundation
to
merge
the
newly
approved
K-5
Elementary
School
with
the
CSP
Middle
High
School
foreign,
but
before
we
get
into
the
merger
request.
I
do
just
want
to
brief
you
and
bring
a
brief
history
of
our
CSP
schools.
AD
So,
first
under
the
Maryland
law,
the
local
Board
of
Ed
is
the
charter
school
authorizer.
Currently
this
board
authorizes
two
Chesapeake
Lighthouse
Foundation
schools.
One
is
the
middle
high
school
that's
been
around
since
2005..
The
other
is
the
newly
approved
Elementary
School,
which
was
approved
by
this
board
back
in
2022,
which
is
authorized
to
serve
576
students
K
through
five.
It
is
on
schedule
to
open
this
year
and
in
year
one
it
will
have
384
students
in
grades
kindergarten
through
five.
AD
The
following
slide
outlines
the
merger
proposal,
as
requested
by
the
Chesapeake
Lighthouse
foundation
and
its
board.
You
also
have
a
more
detailed
version
of
this
merger
request
as
part
of
your
board
packet.
The
merger
request
calls
to
combine,
as
we
said
before,
the
elementary
school
in
the
Middle
High
School,
to
combine
into
one
single
K-12
school
and
per
their
request.
They
outlined
three
specific
reasons
for
this
number
one
is
to
provide
families
with
continuity
and
a
seamless
transition
for
their
students
from
elementary
to
Middle.
AD
The
following
two
slides
outline
Dr
bedell's
recommendation,
and
you
heard
earlier
what
that
recommendation
was
and
and
again
there
are
two
slides
and
I'm
going
to
go
from
General
to
specific.
So
the
first
slide
again,
as
Dr
Bedell
said,
was
to
deny
the
request
to
merge
schools
but
approve
a
guaranteed
enrollment,
as
allowed
through
the
Maryland
Charter
School
law.
AD
So
if
this
merger
were
approved
today,
it
would
it
would
eliminate
access
to
the
CSP
Middle
High
program
for
students
from
around
the
county
who
were
not
enrolled
in
CSP
Elementary
in
kindergarten
or
who
were
siblings
of
current
CSP
students.
AD
So
groups
of
students
that
this
currently
would
impact
would
be
homeschooled
students,
for
example,
many
of
our
homeschooled
students
are
very
satisfied
and
very
happy
through
elementary
school
and
then
by
middle
and
high
school,
sometimes
they're.
Looking
for
other
options.
So
again
those
students
wouldn't
have
been
enrolled
in
the
elementary
school.
It
would
then
miss
out
on
that
Middle
High
opportunity,
students
moving
in
from
out
of
County
at
any
point
in
their
academic
career,
so
again
students
that
move
in
post
kindergarten.
AD
They
would
not
have
an
opportunity
students
who
develop
an
academic
interest
that
would
be
well
served
by
CSP
programs.
So
again,
a
lot
of
parents
are
satisfied
with
their
elementary
school
and
it's
at
the
middle
and
high
school
level
that
they
really
want
another
option.
And
then,
of
course,
this
school
serves
a
lot
of
parents
from
the
Mead
cluster
and
I.
Don't
over
want
to
look
military
families
as
well,
who
move
in
late
and
would
want
to
access
the
middle
high
school.
AD
So
you
know
it's
interesting
to
point
out
that
this
that
consistently
over
the
years,
the
CSP
Middle
High
has
had
over
400
applicants
a
year
for
sixth
grade
over
18
years.
That's
hundreds
of
students
that
if
this
merger
were
to
be
approved,
those
hundreds
of
students
would
never
have
had
access
to
a
seat
at
CSP,
Middle,
High
and
I
know.
Many
of
you
have
had
an
opportunity
to
go
out
to
the
school
and
see
the
students
that
we
serve
and
for
a
lot
of
those
students.
AD
AD
The
specifics
of
the
recommendation
go
into
a
guaranteed
enrollment
continuous
from
fifth
to
sixth
grade
of
up
to
35
percent
of
students
is
outlined
in
the
Maryland
Charter
law,
with
the
following
counting
towards
that
35
percent.
Again
any
fifth
grade
sibling
of
a
current
CSP
Middle
High
student,
whether
enrolled
in
CSP
Elementary
or
not,
applying
for
sixth
grade
at
the
CSP
Middle
High
School
for
next
year
and
then
a
lottery
to
determine
admission
if
next,
if
necessary.
AD
So
if
there
are
more
siblings
than
seats
in
that
35
percent,
we
would
do
a
second
round
of
lottery
for
that
group
of
students
and
we
believe
the
superintendent's
recommendation
provides
a
fair
and
Equitable
solution
which
is
also
aligned
with
the
state's
Charter
law.
The
solution
provides
for
a
guaranteed
enrollment
for
up
to
35
percent
of
incoming
sixth
grade
students,
who
currently
have
a
sibling
at
the
school,
while
also
leaving
room
for
families
who
don't
either
have
a
sibling
attending
the
school
or
didn't
attend
CSP
Elementary
in
fifth
grade.
AD
In
fact,
we
believe
this
issue
has
been
contemplated
and
addressed
when
the
Maryland
Charter
law
was
amended
a
few
years
ago.
The
specific
wording
from
the
law
reads
as
follows:
a
public
charter
school
May
provide
guaranteed
placement
through
a
lottery
to
up
to
35
percent,
as
proposed
by
the
public
chartering
authority
of
the
available
seats
of
the
public
charter
school
to
students
who
attended
a
public
charter
school
during
the
previous
school
year
that
is
operated
by
the
same
operator.
AD
A
public
charter
school
shall
qualify
under
this
subsection
if
the
operator
operates
two
or
more
public
charter
schools
in
the
county
and
when
combined
the
public
charter,
schools
operated
by
the
operator
form
an
integrated
multi-year,
Academic
Program,
and
so
just
a
couple
scenarios
that
we
put
together
for
you
so
scenario
number
one.
So,
let's
assume
there's
a
hundred
available
seats
in
the
sixth
grade
at
the
CSP
Middle
High
School,
and
let's
assume
that
there
are
20
CSP,
Elementary
siblings.
AD
So
those
are
students
that
currently
attend
or
are
in
fifth
grade
at
the
elementary
school
and
also
have
a
sibling
at
the
middle
high
and
20
non-csp
elementary
siblings.
So
you
have
a
sibling
at
the
middle
high
but
did
not
attend
the
CSP
Elementary
and
they
apply
for
sixth
grade
40
of
those
students
would
go
into
the
phase.
AD
One
lottery
for
35
seats
because
again,
35
percent
of
100
is
35.,
so
35
would
be
admitted,
and
then
there
would
be
five
remaining
students
that
would
again
go
into
a
phase
two
lottery,
so
essentially
siblings
would
get
two
Lottery
chances,
as
opposed
to
other
students
only
getting
one.
So
under
this
current
scenario,
most
siblings
would
get
admitted
there
would
be
a
few
that
would
not-
and
again
these
these
are
all
just
made
up
numbers
based
on
just
this
fictitious
scenario.
There
there
could
be
less
siblings
applying
every
year.
AD
There
could
be
more
siblings
applying
every
year,
but
this
outlines
the
35
scenario
and
then
scenario
number
two:
we
have
the
same
number
of
CSP
Elementary
siblings,
apply,
but
then
we
have
10
non-siblings
and
so
there's
a
total
of
30
incoming
sixth
graders
that
have
siblings
at
the
middle
high
for
35
seats.
So
under
this
scenario,
all
30
would
get
in
and
then
the
remaining
openings
of
the
sixth
grade
seats
would
go
into
the
second
or
the.
AD
In
this
case
there
would
only
have
to
be
one
Lottery,
because
there
weren't
enough
applicants
to
have
a
lottery
Run
for
the
first
round.
So
in
conclusion,
I
I
just
want
to
mention
that
we
value
our
CF
clf
partners
and
recognize
the
outstanding
education
that
their
schools
offer.
Our
students
aligning
our
enrollment
practices
with
the
Maryland
state.
Charter
law,
for
both
of
these
schools
only
strengthens
the
options
available
across
our
district,
as
we
continue
to
broaden
the
opportunities
for
all
families
and
with
that
I
am
going
to
stop.
C
Thank
you,
Mr
Crane
I
see
a
couple
of
Lights,
not
sure
I've
got
the
order
correct,
so
I'll
just
start
with
MS
corcadel.
N
Thank
you,
president
Tobin.
Thank
you,
Dr
Bedell
and
staff
for
a
good
presentation.
I
do
have.
Are
we
taking
questions
first
then
comments
because
I
have
both
I
guess.
U
N
Are
we
addressing
the
it
based
on
the
definition
and
I
read
what
you
were
reading,
but
I'm,
not
a
lawyer
nor
do
I
play
one
on
TV,
I
I
would
assume
that
the
that
offering
a
middle
to
high
school
is
also
continued.
Continued
part
of
that
continuum,
because
a
middle
is
different
than
a
high
school,
just
like
in
elementary,
is
different
than
a
middle.
So
if
they're,
already
operating
middle
and
high.
A
N
AD
The
answer
is
no,
because
this,
the
middle
high
was
approved
originally
as
one
school,
so
that
that
was
submitted
to
us
and
approved
by
the
board
18
years
ago,
as
one
continuous
School
very
similar
to
our
monarchs
that
are
k-8s.
It's
the
same
thing.
Those
schools
were
approved
as
kindergarten
through
eighth
grades.
So
naturally,
when
a
student
gets
into
kindergarten
in
a
fully
approved
continuous
grade
span
school,
then
we
don't
make
them
reapply
to
the
same
school
that
they're
currently
going
to.
So
under
your
scenario,
the
answer
is
no.
AD
We,
there
is
not
a
cap
moving
from
eighth
to
ninth
grade,
because
it's
one
school,
it's
one
single
school
as
it
was
approved
years,
go
this.
This
was
approved
as
a
separate
school.
So,
of
course
it
is
under
a
separate
contract
and
it's
considered
two
different
schools
in
terms
of
being
a
legal
entity.
N
Okay,
so
what
you're
saying
is
that
the
law
only
applies
to
this
situation,
but
not
to
the
others
or
the
grandfathered.
In
specifically,
are
they
legally
compliant
because
of
the
date
of
issuance
or.
N
AD
The
same
no,
no
I
I
completely
understand
your
question.
Great
question,
I
I
think
it
has
nothing
to
do
with
when
they
were
approved.
It
has
to
do
with
how
they
were
approved.
So
again
it
was
a.
It
was
approved
as
a
one
school.
So
when
the
original
Contra,
when
the
original
application
was
submitted
18
years
ago,
they
submitted
an
application
to
open
a
6-12
school.
So
when
we
approve
that
years
ago,
I
wasn't
here,
you
weren't
here
it
was
approved
as
a
as
one
single
entity.
Six
through
twelve,
not
two
separate
entities.
AD
N
Answer
sure
not
to
add
too
many
questions
here,
but
I
may
have
one
more
in
a
second
round
is
so
what
you
are
saying
is
is
what
Chesapeake
science
point
is
proposing,
as
a
merger
would
not
be
legal
under
state
law,
or
are
we
saying
that
we
just
don't
like
the
idea
of
them
doing
that
or.
AD
There's
no
violation
of
of
a
legal
violation
of
State
Charter
law.
No,
they
they
could
have
submitted
an
application
as
a
K-12
School
originally,
and
if
that
were
approved,
then
we
wouldn't
be
sitting
here
right
now
having
this
conversation,
because
it
would
originally
have
been
a
K-12
school
because
they
originally
opened
a
six
through
twelve.
AD
N
It
does
make
sense
it
well,
it
makes
sense
from
a
legal
perspective,
so
basically
there's
no
one
only
decision
for
the
board
and
the
board
could
proceed
by
approving
the
merger
and
then
cleaning
up.
What
needs
cleaned
up
to
make
an
alignment,
then,
is
that
a
fair.
N
U
AD
A
M
Okay,
sorry
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I,
understand
and
I.
Think
Ms
crocodile
asked
questions
then
led
to
answers
to
some
of
my
questions,
but
when
I'm
looking
at
the
slide,
involving
basically
why
Chesapeake
Lighthouse
would
like
to
do
this
so
I
get
this
part
provide
families
with
continuity
and
a
seamless
transition
for
their
students
from
elementary
School.
A
M
Okay,
my
cord
keeps
turning
it
off,
I'm.
Sorry,
okay,
so
my
question
is:
how
would
this
merger
provide
sibling
priority
beyond
the
the
proposed
scenario
of
the
35
percent
that
meets
with
state
law?
In
other
words,
they
can't
go
above
the
35
percent
and
be
within
state
law
for
admitting
kindergarten
students
am
I
correct,
so.
AD
I
I
think
I
I
think
when
they
submitted
this
proposal.
What
what
they
were
saying
essentially
is.
We
would
love
to
see
this
merger
happen
so
that
if
we
have
an
older
child
at
the
middle
high
and
we
have
a
younger
child
who
leaves
the
fifth
grade
they're
guaranteed
to
get
into
because
again
it
would
be
one
continuous
school.
So
fifth
graders
would
just
roll
up
to
sixth
grade.
A
M
M
AD
So
the
35
percent
applies
to
a
sibling
policy
that
we
would
put
in
place
for
this
kind
of
scenario.
We
currently
have
a
sibling
policy
for
students
that,
if
you
have
an
older
sibling
at
the
current
Charter
School,
you
do
automatically
get
in
if
there
are
seats
available
so
under
under
a
K
to
12.
Theoretically,
eighty
percent
of
your
kindergarten,
kindergartners
could
be
siblings,
I
mean
if,
if
you're
a
child-
and
you
have
an
older
brother
who's
in
third
grade
or
older
brother
who's
in
11th
grade,
you
would
get
in
Under
The,
Sibling
preference.
AD
M
And
that
meets
with
state
law.
Okay,
that
part
yeah.
So
that's
I'm
learning
that
in
this
moment,
I
didn't
understand
that
part
of
it,
okay,
well,
I
I,
think
you've
answered
my
question.
Thank
you.
Yeah.
Y
Thank
you,
I
have
a
couple
of
questions
and
I'm
kind
of
learning,
some
new
information
as
we
speak
as
well,
so
it
looks
like
we
have
a
merger
request
and
then
it
looks
like
we
have
a
recommendation
from
the
superintendent.
My
question
is,
you
know:
I've
gotten
dozens
and
dozens
of
emails
from
concern
concern
constituents.
AD
I
I
I
met
with
the
board
chair
about
a
week
ago,
Miss
Claudia,
Chang
I've
also
talked
to
the
CEO
Mr
ack
and
I've.
Let
him
know
in
full
transparency
what
our
recommendation
would
be
for
today,
and
so,
while
obviously
we
didn't
agree,
I
I
think
they
understand
our
position
as
to
why
I
mean
here.
AD
Here's
here's,
my
I
guess
what
I
would
say
to
the
concern
concern
constituents
that
you're
hearing
from
you're
hearing
from
them
right
now,
because
they're
going
through
the
elementary
enrollment
process-
and
this
is
an
issue
that
is
on
the
Forefront
right
now-
who
you're
not
hearing
from?
Are
the
400
parents
that
next
October
they're
going
to
want
to
enroll
in
CSP
Middle
High
and
come
to
find
out
that
they
can't
do
it.
AD
So,
while
we're
not
hearing
the
other
side
right
now,
we're
not
hearing
the
other
side,
because
it's
really
not
the
time
that
the
group
applying
to
the
middle
high
is
is
really
involved
in
the
enrollment
process.
So
I
I'm
just
concerned
that
again
the
you
know,
the
hundreds
of
parents
who
have
always
been
able
to
take
advantage
of
the
middle
high
are
not
going
to
be
able
to
do
that
anymore
and
and
they
and
they
just
don't
know
it
right
now
and
so
I
think
we're.
AD
Y
That's
a
fair.
My
concern
was
more
that
I've
gotten
parents
reaching
out
to
me
it
the
way
that
I'm
sort
of
looking
at
this
is
that
there's
a
proposal,
there's
sort
of
an
amended
proposal
and
some
of
the
comments
I'm
getting
are
police
support
the
proposal
so
I'm
trying
to
clarify.
Do
they
mean
the
original
proposal
have
they
had
it.
AD
AD
Y
AD
Y
AD
Y
Okay,
I
will
definitely
have
some
comments.
I
think
my
questions
have
been
answered.
Thank
you.
Okay,
Miss.
C
O
O
So
the
35
is
something
that
is
in
the
state
law
and
right
now.
The
average
seats
that
are
available
for
sixth
grade
as
a
stance
right
without
the
merch.
What's
the
average
that
we
have
for
so.
O
Problems
all
right,
so
the
last
question
I
have
for
you
is
that
the
35
I'm
gonna
go
back
to
that.
Because
I'm
trying
to
you
say
you
met
with
the
the
leadership
and
I'm
trying
to
see.
If
you
all,
if
you
had
any
kind
of
sustainable
model
that
you
two
could
agree
on,
I
think
that
I
understand
that
35
and
that
was
from
the
state
I
didn't
before.
O
But
it
doesn't
sound
like
to
me
that
35,
if
we
talk
about
student
enrollment,
so
I
did
the
math
with
the
576,
which
is
how
many
students
is
going
to
be
in
the
elementary
school
right.
And
so,
if
you
take
a
percentage
of
that,
which
is
was
in
one
of
the
scenarios
earlier,
it
said
that
by
the
time
they
got
from
fifth
to
sixth
grade,
which
is
where
the
biggest
concern
is.
That
is
that
those
students
would
eliminate
an
equity
opportunity
for
out
for
anyone
else
to
have
an
opportunity.
O
So,
when
I'm
asking
about
a
sustainable
model,
does
that
mean
that
in
the
future
in
if
we
did
approve
this,
then
just
speak?
Lighthouse
would
have
to
come
back
to
us
to
access
to
what
increased
the
capacity
there
or
how
would
what
would
be
the
options
there.
AD
No
I
I
right
now.
They
they,
the
CSP
middle
high,
is
approved
for
500
students
total.
They
have
to
determine
how
many
openings
they
have
in
sixth
grade
each
year,
depending
upon
how
many
students
leave
the
school
in
the
year
prior,
so
they
may
have
81
openings
in
sixth
grade.
They
might
have
20
openings
in
10th
Grade,
so
it
just
depends
on
on
what
their
attrition
rate
is
the
year
before.
O
And
my
last
and
final
question
was
that
actually
very
good
scenario?
My
last
and
final
question
was
when
you
talked
about
the-
and
this
is
more
from
my
clarity.
The
already
approved
6-12
right,
that
number
is
defined,
is
already
approved
and
if
they
wanted
to
increase
that
number
they'd
have
to
come
back.
They'd
have
to
come
back
and
reapply
well.
AD
O
AD
AD
C
All
right,
thank
you,
so
Ms
corcode,
you
had
additional
questions.
N
So,
being
a
representative
who,
when
I
first
came
in,
was
representing
kids,
who
had
or
forced
to
leave
their
friends
to
go
to
the
next
level
up
between
middle
and
high
school,
which
was
prior
to
Crofton,
Middle
School,
is
where
I'm
facing
my
next
round
of
questions
with.
So
we
have
Monarch
who
allows
who
we
allow
for
all
of
those
enrolled
in
the
elementary
to
matriculate
to
Middle
School,
correct.
AD
N
So
because
they
were
not
able
to
open
all
three
levels,
we
are
creating
a
new
set
of
Standards
because
of
that
separation,
and
so
I
guess.
One
of
my
questions
is:
is
we're
talking
about
fifth
grade
to
sixth
grade
one
of
the
most
emotionally
turbulent
times
of
a
child's
life,
and
so
what
is
the
anticipated
impacts
that
you
have
calculated
for
all
of
the
students
for
the
70
percent,
roughly
I'm,
sorry,
65.
N
percent
of
those
fifth
graders
who
will
now
be
denied
the
continuation
and
the
natural
matriculation
of
that
curriculum,
as
well
as
the
socialization
component?
Could
you
please
explain
what
you
guys
have
done
in
that
research
and
the
conclusion
as
it
relates
to
your
recommendation?
Well,.
AD
I
can't
speak
for
every
student
because
I
don't
know
every
student's
situation,
I
mean.
Certainly
you.
Your
point
is
well
taken.
I
mean
consistency
is
important
for
sure,
but
we
also
know
that
it's
important
for
students
to
have
options
when
they
leave
their
home
Elementary
School
to
go
into
a
program
in
sixth
grade
that
suits
their
needs.
We
know
that
they
offer
a
great
stem
program
and
so
for
a
lot
of
students
who
are
math,
science
and
and
academically
rigorously
focused
CSP
offers
them
raising
opportunity.
AD
So
I
I
hear
you
and
and
I
don't
disagree,
but
but
I
also
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
allowing
for
students
that
are
not
in
the
elementary
to
also
matriculate
up
to
a
program
that
meets
their
needs
and
and
guaranteeing
enrollment
for
all
fifth
graders
would
take
away
that
opportunity
for
other
students
that
need
it
just
as
much
as
students
that
are
currently
there.
We
have
other
options,
I
mean
a
lot
of
our
elementary
kids
apply
to
the
some
of
the
Monarch
schools
from
middle
school.
So
it's
not
like.
AD
We
don't
have
other
options
that
students
could
apply
to
as
well.
We
know
that
some
students
will
leave
and
go
to
magnet
programs.
We
know
some
students
will
leave
and
go
to
private
and
parochial
schools.
We
know
there
that
there
are
probably
a
number
of
options
that
our
fifth
graders
from
CSP
Elementary
will
choose
other
than
their
middle
high.
But
to
your
point,
Miss
corcodile,
I
I
mean
you
raise
a
great
question.
AD
I
I
think
continuities
really
important,
but
I
I
also
think
it's
important
for
students
that
don't
have
options
in
fifth
grade
to
have
options
in
sixth
grade
and
and
that's
really
what
this
is
all
about.
At
the
end
of
the
day,
it's
it's
about
keeping
seats
available
for
students
that
aren't
fortunate
enough
to
win
the
lottery
in
kindergarten.
That's
what
it
boils
down
to.
H
U
D
N
D
Think
it's
every
Charter,
School
submits
a
proposal
and
I've
dealt
with
Charter
Schools.
The
last
six
years
in
Kansas
City
had
a
excellent
working
relationship
with
Charter
Schools,
but
I
called
things.
The
way
that
I
see
it
too
and
I
think
what
you're
you're
you're,
basically
asking
staff
to
give
an
assurance
that
we
are
able
to
control
the
emotions
that
come
with
them,
not
being
able
to
continue
right,
and
we
don't
have
an
answer
for
that.
D
I
mean
there's
emotional
Detachment
generally
for
all
of
us
that
move
from
one
one
sector
of
being
in
elementary,
the
middle
middle.
The
high
I
think
that
same
emotional
impact
for
the
students
who
want
to
get
into
this
program
and
no
longer
potentially
have
access,
because
we
have
created
this
Continuum
of
a
K-12
model.
There's
an
emotional
impact
that
that
that
impacts.
Those
students
too.
That
really
want
to
be
a
part
of
this
program
and
I
get
what
you're
saying
I,
don't
think.
D
There's
anything
arbitrary
about
what
we're
saying
the
design
and
the
agreement
of
the
proposals
of
the
other
Charter
Schools
before
I
got
here
was
that
they
had
this
model
K-8
or
K-12.
That
was
approved.
That's
not
the
model
that
that
this
Charter
School
submitted
their
applications
under
and
I.
Think
for
me,
I've
been
very
clear
from
day
one
about
access,
even
as
we
take
a
look
at
our
own
magnet
school
programs
inside
of
the
school
district
right.
D
I,
don't
want
to
close
off
those
opportunities,
because
we've
had
we're
creating
a
system
where,
if
you
know,
if
you're
in
this,
if
you're
in
Bates
PVA
in
middle
school
you're
automatically
guaranteed
to
get
in
to
the
high
school,
thus
shutting
out
access
for
other
kids,
who
may
have
blossomed
over
the
three
years
that
weren't
a
part
of
that
program
or
weren't
fortunate
to
get
in
but
now
develop
the
talent
and
I
think
we
so
I.
Just
don't
want
to
stifle
access
in
that
model.
D
I
think
our
goal
is
we
want
to
work
with
them,
but
we
want
to
you
know
we
have
laws
that
are
on
the
books.
We
presented
that
as
a
counter
to
say:
hey
here's,
how
we
think
we
can
all
come
to
a
happier
medium
and
and
there
and
there's
nothing
arbitrary
about
you
know
the
recommendation.
I
mean
we
didn't
I.
Think
we
sat
around
and
we've
worked
on
multiple
iterations.
D
N
AD
N
I
agree
with
the
access,
but
I,
don't
believe
at
the
expense
of
those
children.
I
want
to
see
more
seats
available
and
I.
Sometimes
you
need
to
bake
more
pies.
AD
But
I
don't
want
to
leave
here
today
with
the
perception
that
that
things
are
being
unevenly
applied.
So
so
two
scenarios
one
is
monarchs-
were
approved
as
a
K-8.
We
approved
them
as
a
board
and
as
a
system
as
a
K-8.
So
naturally
it's
one
school
CSP
was
approved.
Csp
was
approved
as
a
6-12
one
school.
So
when
CSP
students
leave
eighth
grade,
they
don't
have
to
reapply
for
the
high
school.
AD
AD
We
would
probably
ask
them
to
open
that
as
a
separate
High
School
to
provide
more
High
School
seats,
so
Monarch
students
leaving
eighth
grade
would
then
have
to
apply
to
get
into
the
high
school.
So
it's
the
same
thing.
Csp
just
did
it
on
the
bottom
end,
whereas
Monarch,
because
they
have
kades,
would
be
doing
it
on
the
other
end,
so
it
it's
evenly
applied.
It's
just
you're,
going
from
fifth
to
six.
Instead
of
eighth
to
ninth.
It's
the
same
school,
it's
just
a
k
to
eight
versus
a
six
through
twelve
same
thing.
N
And
I
did
not
mean
to
imply
that
we're
we're
not,
but
on
the
other
hand,
when
you
are
looking
at
the
two,
there
is
now
going
to
be
a
measure
marked
difference
in
those
formidable
years
on
matriculation
not
and
I.
I
understand
the
approval
times.
A
N
And
I
don't
mean
that
disrespectfully,
but
I
do
need
to
point
out
that
I'm
I'm
not
comfortable
with
the
it
based
on
the
answers.
I
I,
respect
them,
though,
and
but
I
have
no
further
questions.
Thank
you.
Miss.
Y
Frank
so
I
first
want
to
say
it
seems
like
we
definitely
have
an
appetite
for
schools
like
this
in
our
district,
and
this
is
great
that
we
have
a
lot
of
families
who
want
to
attend
the
school.
It's
a
great
school
I
I
expect
that
the
the
K
through
through
five
will
also
be
an
amazing
school,
so
I
think
we
absolutely
need
to
increase
and
and
encourage
more
charter
schools
in
our
in
our
County
a
couple
of
comments
that
I
want
to
make,
and
then
I
have
some
questions.
Y
Procedurally
on
on
how
this
will
shake
out.
So
we
have
a
couple
of
stem
middle
schools
already
in
in
our
in
our
County.
We
have
Central,
we
have
Lindale,
we
have
Old
Mill
Middle
South.
Those
are
all
Middle
School
stem
programs
that
if
parents
want
to
send
their
student
to
a
stem
program,
that
is
also
an
opportunity
for
acceptance
and
those
would
be
I
believe
available
for
the
first
time
in
a
lottery
situation.
It's
so
when
I
am
reviewing
this.
Y
We
are
talking
about
children
who
have
gone
into
essentially
a
cluster,
a
community
school
they
may
have
to
travel,
but
that's
their
home
school
like
if
my
son
was
going
to
Bodkin
and
then
had
to
go
to
Severna
Park.
That
would
be
a
vastly
different
community.
Y
So
we
are
talking
about
removing
children
who
have
grown
up
in
this
community
to
provide
access
for
other
children
who
have
not,
but
those
children
would
have
other
opportunities
for
a
stem
program
if
they
chose
to
want
to
be
removed
from
their
home
communities,
so
I'm
I'm,
not
sure
and
I
guess.
Dr
Bedell
I
almost
want
to
pause
this
conversation
and
have
some
conversations
and
and
get
some
legal
background,
and
maybe
further.
Y
This
I
almost
want
to
pause
this
to
the
next
meeting,
because
there's
a
lot
of
information
that
I
didn't
have
that
I
now
do
that
I
I
am
wondering
how
that
all
fits
so
I
guess.
Procedurally,
my
question
is:
if
we
have
concerns
that
we
to
my
mind,
we
essentially
had
two
requests.
We
have
a
request
for
our
merger
and
then
we
have
a
request
by
what
the
superintendent
will
request.
C
Well,
I'm,
sorry,
with
regard
to
how
do
we
vote,
we
do
what
we
always
do,
which
is
there's
emotion
and
a
vote
now.
One
of
those
motions,
I
guess,
could
be
to
hold
it
over
and
see
if
that's
the
will
of
the
board,
but
all
of
those
things
are
subject
to
whether
or
not
it's
the
will
of
the
board.
Y
So
so,
when
we
have
like
a
calendar,
there's
sometimes
we'll
have
multiple
motions
on
the
table
at
the
same
time,
would
it
be
a
multiple
motion
situation
or
it
would
be?
The
superintendent
provides
his
recommendation
and
we
voted
up
or
down
is
this
is
well
aside
from
emotion
to
hold
I.
C
Mean
we've
been
given
a
recommendation,
so
it's
up
to
us
either
to
decide
to
vote
on
that
recommendation,
in
which
case
we
vote
or
not.
If
there's
an
alternative,
in
which
case
I
I
presume
the
possibility
you're
suggesting
is
emotion
that
says
we
hold
this
till
another
till
the
next
meeting.
M
M
Okay,
so
real
quick,
so
I
now
now
we're
talking
about
comparing
this
school
to
other
schools
and
programs,
and
so
that
brought
up
a
couple
questions
for
me
as
far
as
clarification.
First
of
all,
so
we
currently
have
k,
through
eight
contract
scores
in
our
school
system
that
were
approved
by
the
board
of
education
for
aecps
correct.
M
M
There's
nothing
they
need
to
do
to
qualify
nope.
Is
that
true
for
our
magnets?
No
correct,
so
that
to
me
is
not
apples
to
oranges?
That's
not
a
comparison
that
I
think
so,
in
other
words,
I
would
not
support
students
automatically
matriculating
from
our
Middle
School
stem
program
to
our
high
school
stem
program
from
our
Middle
School
PVA
to
our
high
school
PVA,
because
there
are
application
requirements.
There
are
sorry
qualifications
that
students
have
to
meet
in
order
to
enter
those
programs.
M
To
me
this
is
not
the
same
scenario
in
regards
to
the
question
Miss
Frank
brought
up.
You
know,
I've
said
this
before
getting
it
right
is
much
more
important
than
efficiency,
or
you
know
getting
business
done
as
quickly
as
possible.
M
Think
the
best
scenario
is
not
exactly
one
of
these
and
I'm
trying
not
to
argue
on
merits
here,
but
because
we're
not,
we
don't
have
emotion
on
the
table
yet.
But
I
I
am
very
much
in
favor
of
in
some
way
pausing
a
decision
on
on
this,
because
I
I
think
we
have
to
get
this
right
and
so
I
I
guess
I
will
say.
If
we
are
still
in
question
and
answer
phase.
I
do
have
a
motion.
C
Okay,
Miss
Miss
shalhan,
so.
L
L
L
Well,
she's
she's,
coming
up
to
she's
coming
up
to
to
answer
that.
AC
Yeah
School
doctor
for
the
record
Maureen
McMahon
Deputy
superintendent,
for
academic
strategic
initiatives.
So
your
question
Mr
schulheim.
Yes,
there
is
a
an
a
process
for
stem
that
is
based
on
attendance
and
a
GPA
and
the
GPA
and
and
failures-
and
it's
very
you
know:
I
mean
it's
minimal.
It's
a
2.0
right
I
mean
the
notion
is:
is
that
it's
a
very
minimal
GPA
at
this
point
in
time?
AC
AC
L
L
To
think
about
this,
some
more,
however,
I
also
want
to
be
fair
to
our
policy
on
making
policy
and
also
which
includes
our
development
of
Regulation
and
be
sensitive
to
to
that
as
well,
because
it's
not
this
board
member's
practice
ever
to
violate
our
policy
on
making
policy
with
other
emotions
and
other
agenda
items
that
come
up
such
as
this
one,
just
putting
it
out
there.
Thank
you
thank.
O
Okay,
do
we
have
any
other
schools
that
have
what
K,
through
12
ndr
Charter
School,
not
at
Anne
Arundel
County?
What
about
throughout
the
state.
AD
O
O
Request
was
said
merger,
but
the
merger
is
what
I
think
is
what's
putting
us
and
this
kind
of
this
sort
of
tailspin
that
we're
in
right
now,
because
we
want
to
ensure
Equity
across
the
board.
O
If
the
request
is
for
a
K
through
12
like
we
did
the
k
through
eight
or
the
six
through
twelve,
then
I
think
you
have
a
different
model.
That's
why
I
keep
asking
about
the
model
that
we're
looking
for?
Is
there
any
way
that
we
could
and
I
I
really
appreciate
what
Michonne
just
said
the
table
the
conversation,
because
I
just
don't
feel
like
I
ready
to
make
a
decision
here
in
my
own
gut,
but
that's
just
glorious
thought
process.
O
I,
leave
lots
of
information,
but
I
I
do
think
that
there's
a
need
and
a
demand,
I've
gotten
and
still
getting
emails
about
wanting
this
to
happen
because
it's
a
great
school,
it's
a
great
model
but
I
think
that
we're
asking
for
something
that
we
didn't
ask
for.
So
the
K2
through
12
course
itself.
O
I
would
like
to
know
what
does
it
take
for
to
get
that
kind
of
Charter
and
contract
approved
through
aacps,
and
what
does
that
entail
for
us,
because
I
think
that's
that's
uniquely
different
than
what
we're
trying
to
do
here.
Man,
that's
all
I,
have
to
say.
C
I'd
see
no
other
lights
and
I
would
presume
by
that.
The
questions
are
done.
Are
there
comments
that
anyone
would
like
to
make?
Okay,
so
I
saw
some
lights,
go
on
Miss,
corkito
and.
N
I
want
to
point
out
that
I
think
the
whole
system,
I
I,
have
been
I,
have
the
policies
and
the
regulations
up,
and
so,
unless
I'm
missing
a
specific
point
of
either
of
them.
I
pulled
up
magnet
too
just
to
make
sure
I'm
not
losing
my
mind
here,
but
in
our
own
regulations,
as
it
relates
to
student
admission
and
charter
schools.
N
There
are
three
bullets
in
our
policy
I'm,
sorry
in
the
regulation,
our
policy
is
even
less
does
not
even
directly
get
involved
outside
of
making
sure
you're
not
discriminating,
and
so
when
I
read
it
one
is
tuition
versus.
You
know
residency
of
the
county
versus
not
the
second
one
says
that
that
we
shall
not
discriminate
and
always
be
in
compliance
with
federal
state
and
local
anti-discrimination
laws,
which
we
are
and
then.
N
So,
regardless
of
where
we
land
in
our
ultimate
decision,
I
believe
we
will
be
compliant
with
our
own
rules
and
regulations
and
then,
when
I
look
at
the
magnet
policy,
although
not
updated
since
2010,
probably
a
little
past
due
there,
similar
language
exists,
none
of
which
precludes
any
action
or
inaction.
N
I
personally
feel
that
it.
This
probably
needs
some
more
time
to
get
fleshed
out,
because
when
I
look
at
the
any
motion
that
would
be
proposed
as
a
result
of
the
recommendation,
I'm
seeing
actually
two
things
and
so
I
would,
at
the
very
least,
would
move
to
have
considered
as
two
separate
items,
because
unless
the
my
understanding
is
unless
the
charter
school
itself
were
to
make
the
recommendation
to
us,
the
only
thing
we're
doing
is
saying
is
that
you
have
a
plan
B
that
we'd
be
willing
to
consider
approving.
N
N
And
then,
second
to
that,
are
we
willing
to
explore
an
alternative
solution
with
them,
but
they
would
need
to
request
that
of
thus,
unless
I
missed
something
so
I
I
think
either
way
we're
going
to
be
on
the
technical
side
in
a
situation
of
two
things
at
the
very
least
or
at
least
one
or
the
other,
because
if
we
were
to
approve
it,
there
would
be
no
need
of
the
second.
If
we
were
to
deny
it,
then
they
would
need
to
come
back
to
us
with
the
negotiated
version
as
it
stands.
N
So
I
will
just
say
as
of
today
and
as
of
now,
I
would
not
be
supportive
of
denying
their
application,
in
other
words,
I
I
do
think
that
there
is
benefit
and
value
there
and
I
am
not
comfortable
with
65
of
a
of
a
School
population
being
in
that
situation
under
those
circumstances,
but
I
think
there
may
be
a
middle
ground
between
that
I.
Don't
think
it's
an
all
or
nothing
and
I.
N
Don't
think
that
and
I
think
35
was
a
great
starting
point,
but
I
would
like
to
see
more
engagement
of
the
stakeholders
on
that
and
to
that
effort.
N
I
look
forward
to
Future
conversations
about
our
magnet
programs
because
Although
our
Lottery
is
Rock
Solid
in
its
unbiased
approach,
I
think
our
availability
and
how
we
tool
people
in
and
out
of
our
programs
may
we
may
find
ourselves
actually
counter
to
our
blueprint
initiative
of
when
someone
determines
that
they
have
a
career
path
where
in
potential
yanking
that
out
from
underneath
them
to
allow
for
more
that's
why
I
say
we
need
to
make
more
pies,
because
that's
truly
how
we
get
there,
not
by
trying
to
warp
and
conform
constantly
our
limitations
and
then
what
the
game
plan
is
in
the
interim
of
that
of
how
we
transition
because
I
do
agree,
our
access
is
not
I,
think
where
we
want
it
to
be
and
need
it
to
be,
but
I'm
not
convinced
that
this
is
the
right
approach
or
can
solve
that
so,
and
I
would
support
a
motion
to
hold
the
agenda
item
over
before
an
emotion
which
would
be
the
cleaner
way.
N
As
opposed
to
emotion,
being
proposed
and
then
held
because
then
we
will
immediately
have
to
dispose
of
the
motion
itself
and
I
think
perhaps
in
the
course
of
our
working
with
the
staff
on
some
additional
feedback.
That
may
be
best
position,
but
I
defer
to
are
parliamentarian
and
president
for
that,
but
I
would
be
supportive
of
holding
it.
C
I
Been
a
really
good
listener
this
afternoon
and
I'm
very
proud
of
my
colleagues
for
their
thoughtful
process
and
I
have
to
admit
that
I
was
prepared
to
make
a
motion,
but
I
now
I
think
I
may
be
prepared
to
support
another
mode.
I
We
always
talk
about
the
importance
and
the
value
of
equity
and
equal
opportunities
for
every
single
one
of
our
students.
Every
child
and
every
parent
has
the
right
to
expect
that
they
will
be
able
to
get
the
best
possible
education
wherever
it
is
that
that
whatever
path
that
may
lead
them
down.
A
I
Must
maximize
our
Student
Success
our
student
achievement
students,
positive
outcomes,
that
has
to
be
a
number
one
concern
is
I,
listened
and
as
I
looked
around
at
the
body
language,
it
really
does
seem
to
me
that
there
may
be
consensus
for
us
to
put
this
on
the
side
until
maybe
next
time,
so
we
can
actually
do
a
deeper
dive
and
who
knows
where
that's
going
to
go.
I
M
M
Again,
I'm
prepared
to
offer
a
motion
to
pause
this,
but
just
to
give
a
few
thoughts
of
of
things.
I've
heard
from
things
I've
heard
today.
M
So
one
of
the
greatest
benefits
to
Charter
Schools
is
enabling
greater
innovation
in
education
that
can
inform
ultimately
inform
our
own
educational
practices,
and
so,
if
the
demand
is
such
that
it
denies
we're
concerned
that
we're
denying
opportunity
to
students,
then,
as
as
corcodile
said,
bake
more
pie,
we
we
it
seems
that
we
should
be
looking
closely
at
offering
more
either
through
additional
Charter
seats
or
provide
similar
classrooms
within
our
own
schools.
M
So
in
that
realm,
I
of
course,
always
always.
I
am
concerned
about
Equity
I've
learned
today
that
we
have
a
practice
that
could
potentially
actually
be
denying
students
access
through
our
sibling
application
process.
M
I
didn't
know
that
I'm
so
for
me
personally,
I'm
looking
at
at
the
individual
student
and
I
am
less
concerned
about
siblings,
being
able
to
automatically
enter
a
program
because
I
I
I
do
think
that
denies
access
and
might
not
be
Equitable
Equitable.
But
for
these
students
who
are
in
these
schools,
the
continuity
I
think
is
is
important.
I've
I've
had
students
of
my
own
who
entered
Public,
School
System
from
alternative
education,
both
at
the
elementary
level
and
at
the
high
school
level,
and
it
provides
some
real
challenges.
M
These
students
did
go
through
a
lottery
process,
they're
in
this
school
and
I
I
think
it's
perfectly
reasonable,
not
to
uproot
them,
and
this
again
this
school
system
has
already
approved
K-8
schools
and-
and
we
were
told
that
if
this
had
originally
come
to
us
as
K
through
12,
then
we
wouldn't
be
sitting
here
today.
M
You
know
maybe
the
school
system
School
Board
then
would
not
have
approved
their
application,
but
we
won't
know
that
I
kind
of
suspect
they
would
have
so
I'm
I'm,
just
giving
a
little
food
for
thought
about
why
I
I
don't
fully
support
any
proposal.
That's
in
front
of
us
I
I
like
the
idea
of
scaling
back
the
sibling
application
process
and
not
automatically
enrolling
siblings.
M
The
35
percent
seems
like
a
pretty
sweet
spot
for
me
because
that
that
will
allow
some
continuity
in
the
school
Community,
with
some
families
that
remain
there,
but
I'm
more
concerned
about
the
students
who
are
already
there
and
and
and
not
uprooting
them
and
throwing
them
into
a
completely
different
educational
program.
So
again,
I
am
interested
in
in
pausing
and
and
looking
at
this
a
little
further.
C
Thank
you,
so
I
don't
see
additional
lights.
I
too,
have
been
very
quiet.
I
didn't
really
have
questions,
but
I
do
have
a
couple
of
comments.
I
want
to
offer
first
is
to
say
that
I
too,
would
be
supportive
of
holding
this.
If
not
necessarily
to
the
next
meeting.
We
have
to
look
at
our
meeting
schedules
and
some
other
things
so,
but
holding
it
but
I'm
going
to
say
a
couple
of
things.
I've
alluded
to
this
before
I've
I've
had
two
experiences.
Two
other
working
experiences
that
sort
of
shape.
C
Some
of
these
do
exist
in
other
states.
I
personally,
would
not
be
in
favor
of
a
K-12
Charter
and
I
will
tell
you
why
the
only
schools
that
can
guarantee
that
kind
of
continuity
anywhere
our
private
schools,
redistricting
all
sorts
of
things
come
into
public
education
and
I
will
just
remind
all
the
public
hear
and
listening
that
charter
schools
are
Public
Schools,
they
serve
public
education,
they
are
not
free.
C
Private
schools
and
I
also
feel
very
strongly
that
we
need
to
keep
our
eyes
on
why
we
have
charter
schools
in
a
system
such
as
this.
So
first
of
all,
this
is
not
a
failing
system.
Charter
Schools
initially
came
in
two
places
where
families
were
faced
with
nothing
but
abysmal
choices
and
no
quick
way
out
of
it,
and
Charters
gave
options
in
places
like
Newark
and
Bedford,
Stuy
and
Kansas,
City
and
other
places,
and
in
my
time,
evaluating
Charters
I've,
seen
fabulous
ones
and
I've
seen
ones
that
are
not
fabulous.
C
They
vary
tremendously,
as
everything
does,
but
the
purpose
of
having
a
charter
school.
In
my
opinion,
and
my
understanding
in
a
district
such
as
this
is
to
provide
choice
for
students
and
families-
and
we
have
heard
and
I
will
verify,
based
on
my
experience,
the
way
to
shut
down
that
choice
is
to
have
a
k
through
12
Charter
School.
C
It
is
a
way
to
make
sure
and
again
this
is
my
experience
in
other
districts.
I
am
not
referring
specifically
to
the
intentions
of
clf
I'm,
just
saying
what
I've
seen
it
is
a
way
to
ensure
that
you
get
students
at
the
very
beginning
and
you
can
have
them,
and
so
you
do
not
have
to
accept
the
child
at
sixth
grade
who's
really
behind
in
something
you
do
not
have
to
address
those
those
issues
and
ultimately
it
it
makes
test
scores.
C
Look
really
really
good
and
I
think
we
have
to
weigh
that,
along
with
all
the
other,
very
apt
statements
that
my
colleagues
have
made
today
about
concern
for
children,
concern
for
continuity,
but
I
do
think,
and
I
will
be
clear
in
this-
that
I
do
not
understand
it
as
our
responsibility
as
a
board
to
guarantee
a
parent,
any
parent
that
when
they
get
their
child
into
this
school
in
kindergarten,
they
are
guaranteed
through
12th
grade
that
slot,
because
we
don't
guarantee
that
to
anybody
else
and
so
I
just
think
we've
got
to
be
very
thoughtful
about
how
to
deploy
what
is
a
wonderful
program.
C
We
know
that
one
of
the
greatest
advantages
any
kid
has
from
the
get-go
are
parents
who
are
on
top
of
the
system.
Okay,
who
know
how
to
handle
the
system.
Parents
who
are
doing
that
research
and
getting
their
kids
in
at
kindergarten
are
those
parents,
and
that's
wonderful,
that's
wonderful,
but
there
are
kids
as
Dr.
Bedell
has
alluded
to,
as
others
have
alluded
to,
who
don't
have
those
parents
who
are
on
top
of
it
at
kindergarten,
don't
figure
out
till
they're
in
fifth
or
sixth
grade
that
they're
interested
in
these
things?
C
Don't
have
the
resources
to
know
what's
out
there
and
so
I
believe
we
have
to
keep
those
children
in
our
sights
as
well
as
we
make
this
determination,
but
I
too
believe
a
lot
of
information
has
come
before
us
today.
That
deserves
time
and
thought,
and
so
I
would
be
supportive
of
emotion
if
somebody
wishes
to
make
it
to
give
us
whatever.
The
appropriate
amount
of
time
is
to
consider
Miss
Courtney
doll.
N
Why
I
read
that's?
Why
I
did
it
not
to
continue
to
comment
because
it'll
be
for
another
day?
Clearly
I
move
that
the
board
hold
item;
seven
dot,
zero
six
to
a
future
meeting
as
a
pro
at
the
discretion
of
the
president,
actually
no
strike
that
let
me
do
a
better
version
of
that
and
then
that
way,
Diane
can
do
that.
N
Speaking
of
ad
hocs
correct
collect
what
I
thought
here:
I
move
that
the
board
hold
item:
7.06
Chesapeake
lake
house
foundation,
merger
proposal
into
a
future
meeting
to
be
determined
by
board
leadership
as
appropriate.
Second.
C
AA
Yes,
Miss
corketto,
move
that
the
board
hold
item:
7.06,
Chesapeake,
Lighthouse,
Foundation
merger
proposal
to
a
future
meeting
to
be
determined
by
board
leadership.
Miss
corkito,
aye,
Michelle,
aye,
Mr,
silkworth,
aye,
Miss,
Frank,
aye,
Miss,
Ellis,
aye
Dr
Tobin
aye
motion
passes
seven
zero.
Thank
you.
Miss
Frank
you've
got.
Y
A
light
on
yeah
just
really
briefly,
I
I
just
want
to
thank
everybody
who
came
out
to
hear
this
today
and
we
apologize
that
we
don't
have
an
answer
for
you,
but
I
think
that
this
is
really
important.
So
thank
you
guys
for
coming
out
and
I
think
being
slow
in
our
deliberation
is
probably
a
good
thing.
C
Yes,
as
has
been
noted
by
my
colleagues,
we're
trying
to
get
this
right,
so
thank
you
for
your
your
patience
and
for
everyone
for
this
board
for
really
working
to
think
this
through.
Thank
you,
okay.
So
that
takes
us
to
item
7.07,
2023,
2024,
board,
meeting
hearing
and
workshop
calendar
Mr
silkworth.
C
L
AA
Yes,
so
graduation
correct,
it
was
requested
by
staff
that
we
have
both
June
meetings
and
a
PM
to
allow
for
graduations
to
take
place
on
June
5th
yep.
