We
have
no
recognitions
today
for
item
2.05
and
before
we
go
further,
let
me
just
say
our
student
member
Mr
McGrath
could
not
be
with
us
today.
School
requirements
called
him
away.
He
he
is,
after
all,
still
our
student
member.
So
so
that
brings
us
to
item
2.06
educator
of
the
month
and
Miss
Ellis.
E
Educator
of
the
month,
our
May
2023
educator
of
the
month
is
well
known
for
his
30-plus
years
of
service
to
Anne
Arundel
County
Public,
Schools,
he's
responsible
for
training
monitoring
and
overseeing
the
secretaries
and
teachers
on
attendance
and
Senior
audits.
Among
many
other
duties,
Ed
Copeland
counselor
in
this
student
data
office.
E
E
He
has
developed
numerous
data
reports
and
queries
to
support
requests
from
staff
members.
He
has
created
over
50
reports
in
PowerSchool
that
allow
schools
more
easily
to
keep
track
of
grades
grade
books,
student
schedules
and
graduation
requirements.
His
tireless
efforts
are
done
all
with
Grace
and
humility.
Everyone
uses
these
these
reports,
but
few
realize
the
energy
and
effort
taken
behind
the
scenes
to
make
it
all
possible.
He
is
simply
a
magician
at
finding
ways
to
support
others.
E
E
Ed
has
been
instrumental
in
his
in
this
transition
and
with
many
other
things
that
have
come
become
more
technical.
He
has
written
liter,
literally
hundreds
of
queries
that
allow
schools
to
function
every
day.
Without
these
customized
reports,
schools
would
not
be
able
to
do
their
jobs
effectively
or
efficiently.
E
Anne
Arundel
County,
Public
Schools
has
been
blessed
with
his
skills
and
institutional
knowledge.
After
30
plus
years
of
devoted
Services
Mr

will
retire
in
June.
He
will
be
missed
for
his
many
contributions
but,
more
importantly,
he
will
be
missed
because
of
his
selfless
acts
of
service
that
he
has
poured
out
to
the
student
staff
and
community
of
in
Arundel
County.
His
efforts,
efforts,
work
and
Legacy
will
live
on
Forever
Mr
Copeland.
F
So,
congratulations
to
you!
Thank
you
for
all
that
you've
done
for
our
students.
Why
did
you
think
you
were
here
today.
G
From
that
response
and
who's
here
with
you
today,
my
wife
is
with
me:
the
office
of
student
data
is
with
me
the
rest
of
all
replacement
is
here.
A
G
Bedell,
my
name
is
Edwin
for
your
people
Junior.
My
father
came
here
to
normal
County
in
the
1950s
as
a
teacher
from
South
Carolina
in
the
early
60s,
he
was
at
Annapolis
Junior
High.
At
the
time
he
came
to
the
board
of
education
on
Green
Street
in
the
mid-60s.
He
worked
on
Green
Street,
overlooking
Minneapolis
that
and
but
we,
the
farm,
we
used
to
call
him.
The
last
century.
Personnel
I
have
many
teachers.
G
G
I
remember
going
in
his
area
and
then
we
went
down
to
the
cafeteria
which
that
all
those
glasses
I
thought
was
the
coolest
thing
in
the
world,
and
then
we
came
into
this
room
and
it
was
somber.
It
was
silent.
I
believe
this,
that's
what
Sierra
there
was
some
abortion
desk,
it
was
like.
I
was
walking
into
the
educational
holy
of
holies.
G
A
G
G
B
H
H
Mr
Rush
is
the
first
to
volunteer
when
anyone
needs
help.
He
checks
in
with
the
customer
after
completing
even
the
smallest
task,
to
make
sure
everything
was
done
correctly,
and
he
goes
above
and
beyond
to
keep
the
building
in
perfect
shape.
He
never
rests
he's
constantly
on
the
Move
tackling
any
job
he
can
find
throughout
the
building,
and
he
follows
through
quickly,
competently
and
professionally
on
absolutely
everything
he
offers
to
do.
Jason's
contributions
to
the
positive
environment
of
the
cat,
North,
don't
stop
with
keeping
the
building
running
like
a
well-oiled
machine.
H
He
interacts
with
students
and
staff
in
a
number
of
ways.
Cat
North
is
a
unique
school
with
unique
programs
and
a
few
unique
pieces
of
equipment,
but
in
every
case,
Jason
is
just
the
man
for
the
job.
Thanks
to
his
calm
and
approachable
demeanor
Jason
is
the
perfect
example
of
the
whatever
it
takes
approach
that
makes
cat
North
a
safe,
supportive
and
positive
environment
for
students,
staff
and
Families
Mr
Rush.
The
Board
of
Education
proudly
recognizes
you
as
the
May
2023
Employee
of
the
Month.
Congratulations.
I
They
said
it
was
something
to
do
with
a
new
school
being
built,
but
I
just
I'm
more
impressed
that
my
family
was
able
to
keep
this
a
secret
seen
them
come
out
the
door
I'm
like
wait.
A.
I
Is
not
yeah
and-
and
you
know
my
daughter
who
was
supposed
to
be
taken
out
of
school
because
she
was.
She
was
feeling
well.
I
I
just
want
to
say
that
school
board's
been
a
great
place
to
work
for
I
want
to
be
30
years.
It
actually
would
have
been
30,
Years,
December
and
I
never
thought
that
would
stick
with
a
job
that
long.
But
you
know
the
job
is
going
a
lot
of
different
directions,
but
I
really
appreciate
the
people
that
I've
been
able
to
work
with,
and
it's
just
kind
of
crazy
that
50
years
of
age,
I'm
looking
at
retiring,
hopefully
moving
I'm
real
excited
about
that.
I
But
it's
really
a
pleasure
to
be
here
and
work
with
everybody.
So
I
appreciate
it.
Thank
you
very
much.
B
Congratulations
and
thank
you:
Mr
Rush
yeah,
the
new
building
is
going
to
have
all
sorts
of
Maintenance
challenges,
I'm
sure.
D
During
her
time,
volunteering
Katie
was
disheartened
by
the
number
of
students
who
were
unable
to
financially
participate.
In
the
fair
she
saw
some
students
Cry
tears
of
sadness
as
their
classmates,
shopped
as
their
classmate
as
their
classmates
shops
for
his
books
and
purchased
and
could
not
purchase
books
when
they
could
Katie
also
witnessed
several
teachers
spending
their
own
hard-earned
money
to
pay
for
students
in
their
classes
to
purchase
books
so
that
they
would
not
be
left
out
this
year.
Miss
Wilburn
enthusiastically
stepped
up
to
the
chair.
As
the
chair
is
the
Scholastic
Book
Fair.
D
She
worked
closely
with
media
Specialists
to
coordinate,
plan
and
execute
the
event.
Katie
not
only
sought
out
volunteers
to
help
with
the
support
the
book
fair,
but
she
also
took
off
every
work
day
to
help
students
shop.
She
also
encouraged
teachers
to
create
booklets
so
that
families
could
purchase
books
to
support
their
classroom.
Libraries,
more
importantly,
Katie,
wanted
to
be
sure
that
she
could
answer
to
those
to
answer
those
students.
Questions
I,
hear
you
I
see
you
you
matter.
D
She
created
a
fund
called
terrific
Tigers
to
ensure
all
students
at
Linthicum
Elementary
were
able
to
purchase
a
books
during
the
book,
fair
Katie
advertised
the
funds
to
our
local
community
and
raised
over
nine
hundred
dollars
working
with
teachers
so
confidently
confidently
working
with
teachers.
Confidently
she
identified
students,
then
the
terrific
Tigers
funded
supported
over
50
students,
as
well
as
ensuring
that
every
teacher
received
at
least
one
book
on
their
wish
list.
D
Media
specialist,
Michelle
marwini
shared
her
appreciation
with
us,
explaining
how
Miss
Wilburn
was
there
every
step
of
the
way
this
included
being
present
at
the
book,
fair
from
open
to
close
all
seven
days
as
well
as
staying
late
for
a
family
night
event.
As
previously
noted,
she
took
many
responsibilities
from
lining
up
volunteers
and
restocking
merchandise
to
stay
to
training
volunteers
on
the
cash
register.
D
Most
importantly,
she
worked
with
hundreds
of
students
to
find
just
the
right
book.
She
did
all
this
with
a
smile
on
her
face,
just
like
the
one
she
has
today.
Her
kindness
to
students
at
lithicum
elementary
is
an
example
for
us
all,
Miss
Katie
Woodburn.
Thank
you
for
seeing
and
hearing
our
students
and
letting
them
know
that
they
matter
Linthicum
Elementary
School
and
the
entire
Anne
Arundel
County
Public
Schools
Community
is
blessed
to
have
such
a
dedicated
volunteer,
and
we
thank
you
I
would
say.
D
D
D
K
K
Yeah,
you
put
it
very
well
much
better
than
I
could
last
I
first
volunteered
for
the
fair
a
year
ago
in
2022,
and
there
were
many
kids
that
were
off
to
the
side
or
sitting
at
media,
not
shopping
for
the
fair
and
it
really
just
played
at
my
heartstrings
I'm,
an
Avid
Reader
school
really
encouraged
my
love
of
reading
and
the
book.
There
was
always
really
special
in
my
heart
and
I.
Didn't
want
any
kid
to
have
that
feeling
that
they
couldn't
afford
to
shop
or
their
parents
couldn't
afford.

enough
for
all
that
they
do
for
our
school
for
our
students,
their
hard-working
commitment
to
our

and
Families.
L
This
past
few
weeks
we
attended
two
community
events.
The
Mead
cluster
event
was
an
amazing
event
that
brought
together
the
community.
We
gave
away
several
books
and
coloring
sheets
for
teacher
appreciation,
PTA
information
and
handed
out
goodies.
We
also
attended
the
Anne
Arundel
County
Mental
Health
agency's
Community

day.
There
were
a
lot
of
great
Mental
Health
Resources
from
throughout
the
from
throughout
the
community,
looking
to
partner
with
ptas
in
within
our
County.
So
we're
definitely
going
to
be
sharing
those
Resources
with
our
ptas.
L
The

units.
The
first
is
to
help
with

other

with

federal
government.
L
L

I
wanted
to
take
a
moment
to
thank

all
for
allowing
me
to
speak
in
place
of
Mallory
when
she's
not
available.
L
E
Yeah

just
want

My
thanks,
certainly,
and
and
please
share
that
with
Mallory
as
well.
Thank
you
so
much.
B
All
right
that
item
4.02
the
CCAC
report-
the
representatives
were
not
able
to
be
here
today
to
make
that
report,
so
that
will
occur
on
May
24th.
That
brings
us
to
item
4.03
the
president's
report.
So
there
are
a
few
things
I
want
to
talk
about,
but
before
I
do
that
I
would
like
to
recognize
Ms
shulheim,
who
had
something
she
wanted
to
offer.
Yes,.
C
Thank
you
so
earlier
this
week,
I
had
the
great
pleasure
of
meeting
with
Mr
Kyle,
Ruff
and
Mr
Zach
Lammers,
and
his
team
and
I
just
wanted
to
say
publicly.
Thank
you
for
that
opportunity.
We
talked
all
about,
as
you
would
guess,
sustainability
and
what
we
do
as
a
school
system
in
terms
of
Energy,
Efficiency
and
conservation
and
all
those
sorts
of
efforts,
and
it
was
a
deeper
dive
than
what
we've
you
know
been
able
to
have
in
this
forum
and
I
just
really
appreciated
it.
C
C
Last
night
at
the
Severna
Park
Middle
School
spring
concert,
I
was
asked
by
the
band
director
to
conduct
one
of
the
songs
which
I
haven't
played
a
musical
instrument
in
about
35
years.
I,
don't
know
how
to
read
music
anymore,
but
I
did
it
anyway.
It
was
a
great
honor
and
I
just
wanted
to
say
once
again,
I've
said
it
many
many
times,
but
music
education
matters
and
fully
funding
music
education
matters,
and
it
was
just
a
great
opportunity.
The
kids
were
very
understanding,
we'll
just
leave
it
there.
The.
F
B
Thank
you.
Oh
yes,
Ms
Ellis.
E
And
by
the
way,
was
that
the
Cure
song
it.
C
Was
not
a
cure
sign
had
it
been
I
would
have
gotten
the
beat
a
little
bit
better.
Yes,
I
did
listen
to
it
multiple
times,
something
Overture.
Sorry
I
just
pronounced
I,
don't
remember.
Thank
you.
No,
it
was
not
easy.
E
Can
I
give
a
shout
out
to
the
Mead
Community
for
an
amazing
spring
event
and
my
colleague
Miss
dent
and
I
really
had
a
blast
there.
I
I
encourage
people
from
other
clusters
to
attend
the
next
event.
To
see
how
amazing
it
is.
It
would
be
great
to
see
these
events
and
other
clusters,
but
it
it
was
so
much
fun.
Students
from
every
single
school
got
up
and
performed,
and
it's
it's
just
a
it's
a
it's
like
a
fair.
It's.
It
was
so
much
fun.
B
So
let
me
just
mention
a
few
I
was
privileged
to
attend
over
the
last
couple
of
weeks,
along
with
at
times
some
of
my
colleagues
on
April
27th,
Ms,
shulheim,
Dr,
Bedell
and
I
were
able
to
attend
the
reception
for
the
senior
show,
exhibit
Elevate,
which
is,
for
the
first
time
at
Maryland,
Hall,
beautifully,
displayed
remarkable
artwork
and
a
huge
thanks
not
only
to
the
students
but
to
Ms
Dykstra
and
all
of
her
team
again,
the
Arts
are
not
only
do
our
students
have
extraordinary
talents,
but
this
is
such
a
critical
part
of
education
and,
like
my
colleagues,
I'm
devoted
to
seeing
them
fully
funded,
but
I'm
so
grateful
to
see
what
comes
of
the
incredible
work.
B
Our
students
do
and
that
same
day,
actually
the
at
Mills
parole,
the
city
of
Annapolis,
held
an
Arbor
Day
event
with
tree
planting
and
amazing
performances
by
the
step
team
and
others
at
Mills
parole,
which
was
a
fabulous
fabulous
day.
B
Thank
you
to
principal
Rogers
and
all
the
staff
there
and
to
Mayor
Buckley
and
the
staff
of
the
city
for
contributing
that
to
our
school
on
Saturday,

29th
I
was

my
husband,
along
with
Michelle
Heim
and
her
family,

big
band
and
jazz

and
high
school,

a
joy
and

a
huge
shout
out
to
Ms

in
the
music
office
for
the
work
they
do.
B
The
extraordinary
music
teachers
across
the
county
who
help
our
students
reach
these
incredible
incredible
Milestones.
So
thank
you
for
that
and
again
we
were
back
on
May
2nd
at
the
All
County
student
art
exhibition,
which
is
now
in
the
Annapolis
mall
over
3
500
pieces
of
artwork
I'm,
told
I.
B
Don't
think
I've
seen
that
many
people
in
the
Annapolis
Mall
since
I
don't
know
when
Dr
Bedell
brought
comments
which
were
very
well
received,
and
families
were
there
and
I
want
to
send
a
special
shout
out
to
my
ambassador
of
fourth
grader
from
Quarterfield
who
took
me
through
and
showed
me
all.
B
The
wonderful
pieces
on
display,
including
her
own
again,
a
huge
thank
you
not
only
to
Ms,
Dykstra
and
her
team,
but
to
all
the
art
teachers
across
this
County,
for
what
you
do
every
day
for
our
students
on
May
3rd
Dr,
Bedell,
Mr,
silkworth,
Ms,
shulheim
and
I
I
think
that
that
was
it
we're
at
the
scholarship
for
Scholars
event,
where
our
own
Mr
McGrath
received
one
of
these
scholarships,
and
that
is
always
an
exciting
evening
to
see
so
many
remarkable
students,
including
several
who
are
committed
to
pursuing
education,
walk
across
that
stage
and
and
really
demonstrate
incredible
levels
of
achievement
and
excellence.
B
And
finally,
a
special
joy
for
me:
I
had
the
opportunity
to
attend
both
the
Expo
and
the
elementary
innovators
of
science
and
engineering
challenge
Awards
on
May
4th,
at
which
one
was
it.
It
was
the
Middle
School
where
it
was
held
this
year
and
I'm
forgetting
I'm,
sorry
Marla.
It
was
Marley,
I've,
kept
wanting
to
say,
Magothy
and
I
knew
it
wasn't
Magothy.
Thank
you,
Marley
and
incredible
students,
third,
fourth
and
fifth
graders,
who
clearly
have
such
a
love
for
science
fostered
by
their
teachers.
B
Some
amazing
projects
I
actually
saw
when
I
toured
the
Expo,
a
tricycle
which
has
been
set
up
with
a
dustpan
in
the
front
so
that
you
can
both
do
your
bike
ride
and
pick
up
trash.
At
the
same
time,
I
saw
someone
a
young
man
who
developed
a
chewing
gum
that
serves
as
toothpaste
when
you're,
camping
and
some
other
incredible
things.
So
thank
you
to
Dr
McMahon
for
her
wonderful
talk
with
the
students
about
her
love
of
Science
and
Miss
Howard.
B
M
One
other
mention
was
probably
just
not
on
your
list,
so
I
wanted
just
to
note.
Congratulations
and
the
opportunities
that
we'll
all
be
looking
forward
to
for
our
families
in
need
when
we
Michelle
Heim,
Dr,
Tobin
and
I
have
attended,
went
down
to
the
food
bank
in
Ann,
Arundel
County
and
the
county
executive
has
formed
through
executive
order,
a
committee
to
coordinate.
M
We
have
a
lot
of
food
deserts
in
our
County
and
a
lot
of
our
families,
and
our
students
continue
to
struggle
to
have
food
on
the
table,
and
food
insecurity
remains
one
of
our
biggest
threats
to
education
to
this
day,
and
it
was
very
encouraging
that,
even
though
these
folks
find
ways
of
coordinating
to
have
a
committee
to
do
a
full
assessment
and
I
know,
our
school
is
participating
in
it
in
a
different
ways,
shapes
and
forms.
But
I
just
just
wanted
to
share
congratulations
to
that
team
because
they
do
so
much
and
I.
M
B
Thank
you
very
much,
Miss
corkito
for
that
reminder
that
was
I
kept
having
this
feeling.
I
was
missing
something
and-
and
you
got
it
so
I
appreciate
it.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Yes,
that's
a
an
amazing
development
and
the
kind
of
partnership
that's
desperately
needed,
so
that
brings
us
to
Autumn
4.04.
The
policy
committee
report
Miss
dent.
D
Good
afternoon
Madam
president
Mr
Vice
President
superintendent,
members
of
the
board
I.
It
was
a
great
pleasure
that
I
bring
you
the
today's
policy
report.
I
am
happy
to
happy
happy
to
report
that
policy
is
display
of
flags
and
policy.
Jcl
student
organization
will
be
moving
out
of
committee
and
moving
into
going
toward
the
boards
at
the
next
meeting
or
oh,
it's
too
low.
D
Can
you
hear
me
now?
Okay,
all
right
so
I'll
start
over
no
just
kidding,
but
the
policy
meeting
we
met
yesterday,
Tuesday
March
the
night.
It
was
a
great
meeting
we
are
able
to
get
through.
We
finally
got
through
policy
is
display
of
flex
and
policy
JCL
student
organizations.
So
we
will
move
that
out
of
committee
into
being
getting
going
toward
first
reading
and
should
be
at
the
next
board
meeting.
D
We
did
Cover
other
a
couple
of
other
things
that
will
come
up
for
a
discussion,
one
of
the
things
that
I
think
is
going
to
probably
be
a
lead.
The
discussion
is
talking
about
something
that's
near
and
dear
to
Dr.
Patel's
heart
is
Grady,
and
so
we
will
yes.
D
So
that's
going
to
be
a
little
bit
more
detail
and
just
for
the
good
and
the
order,
I
will
tell
I've
gotten
quite
a
few
emails,
and
this
is
more
for
the
people
that
I'm
getting
emails
from
is
that
it
is
not
my
fault.
D
I
am
still
talking
to
the
president
about
the
parents,
Bill
of
Rights,
so
we'll
continue
to
work
on
the
parents
bill
of
right,
we'll
continue
to
do
internal
controls,
internal
processing
and
at
a
time
to
be
determined
once
I
get
through
meeting
with
her
I
will
come
back
and
we'll
give
you
a
little
bit
more
timeline
and
guidelines.
So
I
have
gotten
quite
a
few
emails
about
that,
but
we're
just
not
ready
to
discuss
it
publicly,
just
yet
so
substitute
that
that's
all
I
have
thank.
B
You
thank
you.
Ms
dent
I,
see
a
light
masalas
is
that
an
old
line?
Okay,
as
I
said
earlier,
Mr
McGrath
couldn't
be
with
us
today,
so
there
will
not
be
an
equity
committee
report
today,
which
brings
us
to
item
4.06.
The
superintendence
report,
Dr
Bedell,.
N
All
right,
thank
you,
madam
chair
Madam,
president
I
have
a
short
update
today
and
I'd
like
to
start
by
congratulating
Severna
Park
High
School,
junior
Eric
Lynn
on
be
being
elected.
The
50th
student
member
of
our
Board
of
Education.
N
We
are
very
proud
that
our
school
system
is
the
only
local
school
system
in
the
nation,
with
a
student
member
with
full
voting
rights,
Eric
was
elected
by
members
of
krask
and
after
appointment
by
the
governor,
will
begin
his
term
on
July
1.,
we're
hoping
to
have
as
many
of
the
49
former
student
members
of
the
board
on
hand
for
his
swearing
in
as
we
can
so
once
again.
We're
extremely
excited
and
look
forward
to
having
him
here
in
this
seat
representing
many
of
our
students
that
are
matriculating
through
this
school
district.
N
I
also
want
to
acknowledge
and
say,
congratulations
and
a
job
well
done
to
our
teachers.
As
you
know,
this
is
Happy.
This
is
teacher
appreciation
week.
We
also
have
appreciation
that
has
gone
on
throughout
the
school
year,
whether
it's
for
counselors,
whether
it's
for
secretaries,
administrative
assistants,
the
many
employees
that
we
have
across
this
County
that
are
doing
a
phenomenal
job.
N
I've
talked
a
lot
about
the
great
people
here
in
this
school
district
that
make
up
our
team,
whether
it's
here
in
central
office
or
at
our
other
satellite
locations,
or
whether
it's
inside
of
the
130
school
buildings
that
we
have
but
I,
also
talk
a
lot
about
the
fact
that
we
must
show
our
appreciation
for
them
whenever
we
can
given
the
fact
that
it
is
becoming
ever
more
competitive
to
fully
staff
school
districts
around
the
United
States.
Earlier
this
year,
this
board
supported
my
my
teams.
N
N
Today,
I
am
proud
to
tell
everyone
that
we
will
provide
another
bonus
of
up
to
one
thousand
dollars
in
June
to
all
permanent
employees
into
all
temporary
employees
who
work
have
averaged
at
least
20
hours
of
work
per
week
since
January
1st
I.
Thank
the
board
for
again
for
supporting
this
move.
I
think
it
is
critical
that,
as
we
work
on
the
pay
Gap
disparities,
we
continue
to
show
our
employees
that
we
value
them,
and
this
is
one
way
we
can
do
it.
I
told
our
employees
about
the
bonus
in
an
email.
N
N
So
thank
you,
president
Tobin
members
of
the
board
for
your
support
and,
most
importantly,
thank
you
to
our
employees
for
everything
they
have
done
this
year.
You
heard
a
number
of
comments
from
several
board
members
around
the
activities
that
they
have
attended
over
the
last
month
or
so,
and
we
know
that
those
activities
and
the
products
that
were
created
are
not
possible
without
the
dedicated
faculty
and
staff
that
we
have
here
in
Anne,
Arundel
County
Public
Schools.
So
we
definitely
want
you
all
to
know
that
we
value
everything
that
you're
doing
and
Madam
Madam.
President.
B
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Dr
Bedell
and
Happy
Teacher
Appreciation
Week
to
all
okay.
Now
this
brings
us
to
presentations
item
5.01,
High,
School,
Capstone
experiences,
Dr
Bedell,
all.
N
Right,
madam
president,
I
know
you,
and
vice
chair
silkworth,
had
an
opportunity
to
visit
one
of
our
schools
and
take
a
look
at
one
of
the
Capstone
project
presentations
and
then
that
was
brought
to
the
attention
of
senior
staff.
We
had
an
opportunity
to
to
listen
to
our
students
and
we
were
just
extremely
proud.
I
mean
we
talk
a
lot
about
the
body
of
work
and
the
products
that
we
want,
our
students
to
be
able
to
complete
and
what
we
hope
would
happen
through.
N
The
Capstone
experiences
is
that
our
kids
are
learning
how
to
solve
real
world
real-time
problems
in
cases
where
they
may
not
have
opportunities
to
benefit
from
it,
but
they're
doing
it
for
the
greater
good
of
those
who
will
come
behind
them,
and
so
today
you
have
an
opportunity
to
listen
to
a
performance,
to
listen
to
some
of
our
students,
who
will
kind
of
give
an
overview
of
what
they're
looking
to
seek
in
their
Capstone
project.
But
you
also
get
an
overview
of
our
or
Capstone
experiences
in
general.
N
So
I
will
pass
this
over
to
staff
and
Maureen
McMahon.
Now
that
you
know
we
can
do
the
introductions
and
all
of
that
so
we'll
pass
it
over
to
you
all.
O
Good
afternoon
president
Tobin
Board
of
Education
members
and
Dr
Bedell,
my
name
is
Mary
Tyler
and
it's
my
honor
to
be
the
assistant
superintendent
for
advanced
studies
and
programs.
Together
with
my
colleagues
who
are
here
with
me
today,
we
will
share
with
you
our
aacps
Capstone
experiences,
a
body
of
work
that
serve
as
culminating
academic
and
intellectual
projects
designed
for
our
senior
level.
Students
I
will
ask
them
to
introduce
themselves
with
you
in
one
moment.
A
P
P
J
Q
P
O
Many
thanks
to
Xena
and
Breton
our
performance
Capstone
musicians
from
the
vocal
and
piano
paths
at
our
Apex
Arts
Magnet
program
at
Broadneck,
High
Xena's,
solar
performance
Capstone,
was
in
the
form
of
a
lecture
recital
that
focused
on
connecting
her
audience
with
African-American
performing
artists.
She
wanted
to
dive
deeply
into
the
music
as
a
performer
by
specifically
shining
a
brighter
light
on
various
African-American
performers
to
enable
her
audience
to
meaningfully
connect
with
them
as
well.
Her
work
consisted
of
both
performance
and
lecture
components.
Together.
B
M
No,
that's
a
new
one.
I
just
could
not
resist
Miss
Fraser
your
voice
is
it's
it's
an
this
old
soul
coming
out,
I
mean
the
voice
is
so
mature
and
it
just
it
sounds
like
you've
walked
the
miles
when
you're
telling
the
story
and
I
just
could
not
resist
just
saying
a
little
something
extra
special.
You
have
such
a
unique,
wonderful
gift
and
I
hope
you
continue
to
grow
it
because
in
that
voice
you
have
a
bright
future.
O
You've
now
had
a
small
taste
of
the
power
of
the
aacps
Capstone,
Xena
and
Brenton
have
set
the
bar
very
high
for
today.
My
colleagues
will
now
introduce
themselves
and
then
we
will
take
you
behind
the
scenes
to
help.
You
understand
the
who,
what
when
and
why
of
our
aacps
Capstone
experiences,
Dr
McMahon.
O
Let's
begin
with
how
Capstone
experiences
fit
into
the
work
of
aacps,
one
component
of
the
mission
of
Anne
Arundel,
County,
Public
Schools,
is
to
nurture
and
educate
all
students
to
be
well
prepared
for
career
entry,
Community
engagement
and
college.
Our
Capstone
experiences
align
with
this
Mission
and
the
first
and
second
driving
values
of
our
strategic
plan
has
Mrs.
Jackson
would
often
say
understanding.
History
is
key
to
understanding
the
opportunities
of
today.
As
such,
it
is
important
that
we
share
how
the
aacps
Capstone
experiences
began
simply
put.
O
capstones
were
purposely
included
in
the
first
stem
High
School
course
of
study
to
offer
a
place
for
senior
students
to
think
critically
and
creatively
and
solve
challenging
relevant
and
authentic
problems
in
the
world
around
them,
while
growing
their
personal
and
professional
confidence
and
Independence.
In
fact,
Mr
Sackett
Mr
Sackett
was
a
young
stem
teacher
when
the
first
capstones
were
launched.
S
As
Ms
tillar
noted,
although
we
launched
capstones
in
the
stem
High
School
magnet
programs
long
ago,
Capstone
associations
today
extend
to
all
our
magnets
as
well
as
many
CTE
and
signature
program
classes
and
Pathways.
These
exist
in
all
of
our
high
schools.
They
are
also
purposely
integrated
into
many
of
our
aacc
dual
enrollment
programs.
S
S
We
see
Capstone
students,
no
matter
which
type
of
Capstone
they
choose,
engaging
and
practicing
goal,
setting
and
planning
time
management
and
research,
teamwork,
collaboration,
content
concept
and
idea,
development,
media
literacy,
acquisition
and
data
analysis
all
while
polishing
skills
in
planning
and
public
speaking
based
on
student
interests,
teacher
expertise
and
unique
programs
or
Pathways
available
in
each
High
School.
The
type
and
assortment
of
Capstone
experiences
do
vary.
The
range
of
Capstone
experience
types
are
noted
on
this
slide
and
we'll
highlight
them
individually
later
in
the
presentation.
U
In
fact,
Annapolis
High,
School
Mesa
team
led
by
seniors
Nathan
with
their
App
Inventor
team
of
students,
Mariana
Maria,
Alicia
and
Dane
will
be
going
to
Johns
Hopkins
University's
Applied
Physics
lab
to
complete
at
the
state
level.
Next
month,
Chesapeake
High,
School's,
STEM
related
co-curricular,
first
robotics
Club
student
leaders,
Veda
Jenna,
Shayna
and
Jace
were
challenged
to
build
a
large
robot,
approximately
four
feet:
tall
and
120
pounds
to
engage
in
various
field
tasks
at
local
and
Regional
competitions.
U
Most
importantly,
students
learn
the
unique
Dynamic
nature
of
the
teamwork
and
project
management
skills
needed
to
engineer
an
industrial
sized
robot
that
is
able
to
be
controlled
to
accomplish
multiple
tasks.
Many
of
these
students
have
plans
to
study
engineering
or
computer
science

students,
Julie
and
Megan.
Both
worked
on
equine

projects
and
experiments.

She
determined
a
significant,
effective
way
to
preserve
the
health
of
equine
or

athletes.
Both
sudden
Southern
students
won
first
place
in
the
Maryland
FFA
agriscience
fair
this
spring
and
have
qualified
for
the
national
competition
as
well
as
three
college
credits.
The
fair's
judge
noted
that
these
students
produced
excellent
research
that
should
be
published.
T
Let's
look
at
Old
Mill
High
School
students,
Nicholas
Caleb,
Adelina
and
Akeem,
who
participated
in
the
architecture,
construction
and
Engineering,
or
Ace
mentoring
program
with
professionals
from
the
construction
industry.
They
met
weekly
to
increase
their
learning
and
architecture
and
engineering,
design,
iteration
and
implementation
for
actual
buildings
and
interior
spaces,
with
the
help
of
their
professional
mentors.
These
a
students
worked
to
design
a
new
Cultural
Arts
Building
at
aacc.
T
Her
Capstone
goal
was
to
create
a
makeshift
Runway
that
could
be
deployed
entirely
from
the
aircraft
itself
to
facilitate
successful
Landings
on
remote,
challenging
terrain
during
a
medical
emergency.
Tiffany's
research
and
work
will
result
in
the
actual
use
of
Landing
zone
panels
at
the
Flight
Academy.
She
attended
for
her
pilot
training
and
where
she
will
be
an
instructor.
This
summer,
the
colonel
of
Jack
and
Ryan's
Capstone
project
known
as
Alice,
actually
began
in
ninth
grade
when
they
were
working
on
their
science
and
engineering
Expo
project.
T
In
their
current
project,
they
created
a
functional
prototype,
a
fully
Wireless
recharging
station
for
drones.
That
could
extend
the
length
of
time
and
distance
of
a
drone's
flight,
especially
one
carrying
a
significant
payload
Jack
and
Ryan,
along
with
their
colleague
JP,
are
on
the
fifth
iteration
of
the
product,
with
All
Electronics,
simulated
and
fabricated.
U
Through
the
homeland
security
pro
signature
program
at
Mead,
High
School,
specifically
the
geographic
information
systems
or
GIS
CTE
pathway,
charde,
is
using
her
Emergency

Capstone
to
create
a
web-based

skills
are
being
put
to
the
test
in
this
Capstone
experience
in
Severna
Park
High.
T
As
outlined
in
the
blueprint
for
Maryland's
future
internships
and
apprenticeships
provide
an
authentic
learning,
environment,
career
networking
and
professional
skill
development
opportunities
all
within
a
real
work
based
learning
setting
opportunities
that
are
often
life-changing
for
our
students.
As
you
know,
aacps
has
more
students
in
registered
apprenticeships
than
any
other
county
in
the
state.
This
is
primarily
due
to
the
100
plus
students
working
in
apprenticeships
at
NSA.
T
Slowly,
we
are
able
to
move
more
students
into
apprenticeships,
as
businesses
and
government
agencies
open
their
doors
wider
to
high
school
students.
For
now,
however,
we
are
doing
well
of
approximately
30
to
30
to
40
percent
of
our
students
enrolled
in
an
internship
or
apprenticeship
prior
to
graduation.

While
she
was
acting
as
the
Lead

she
is
now
qualified
to
be

I
knew
I
was
going
to
do
that.

During
this
internship,
she
earned

internship.
T
Daniella
was
offered
a

She
already
has
a

T
Our
life,
our
last
type
of
Capstone,
to
share
with
you
today
reinforces
the
community
Readiness
of
our
students
as
students
transition
to
post-high
school

The
importance
of
the
community

becomes
more
critical,

of
kindness,
her

U
Now,
let's
meet
some
additional
students
from
Arundel
High
School
to
hear
about
their
Capstone
experience.
These
four
students
are
here
today
with
their
proud
principal
Miss,

Mentor
I
am
thrilled
to
turn
the
presentation
over
to
this
team
of
construction
design
management
students
at
Arundel,
High,
School.
Q
My
name
is
Nelson
girls
Vasquez.
My
name
is
Devin.
Q
And
this
is
our
generation
accommodations
project
in
our
construction
design
management
class.
We
have
learned
new
things
like
using
AutoCAD
and
Revit,
but
the
best
part
about
the
class
is
the
projects.
With
this
project.
We
were
tasked
to
come
up
with
a
solution
to
an
issue
at
Arundel,
High
School.
That
would
benefit
the
students.
Q
Our
issue
that
we
found
was
that
students
in
the
basements
do
not
have
access
to
bathrooms.
On
that
floor,
Arundel
is
a
three-floor
building.
Students
in
the
basement
would
have
to
go
to
the
second
level,
or
sometimes
even
the
third
level,
to
find
a
usable
bathroom,
the
only
bat
the
only
bathrooms,
the
only
student
bathrooms
in
the
basement
are
in
the
PE
locker
rooms
and
are
only
accessible
during
Changing
Times
at
the
beginning
and
the
end
of
class.
W
Problems
of
being
a
student
in
the
basement,
we
did
send
out
a
survey
to
our
students
and
teachers
in
the
basement
to
understand
what
issues
that
we
could
fix.
As
in
our
construction
design,
Management
program,
as
Nelson
said,
the
close
successful
bathroom
is
an
apple
which
is
on
the
first
floor
of
Arundel
High
School.
However,
due
to
uncircum
unforeseen
circumstances
such
as
piping
problems,
it
is
an
old
building.
Sometimes
those
bathrooms
are
locked
for
student
safety.
That
way,
we
have
to
go
to
other
restaurants
that
are
also
located.
W
This
means
that
not
only
the
student
is
not
engaging
in
classroom
time
anymore,
because
they're
not
receiving
the
lessons
that
the
teachers
are
giving
them,
but
the
teachers
are
also
losing
class
time
with
their
students
they're
losing
that
relationship
and
they're
losing
the
teaching.
Not
the
students
like
that.
The
teacher
is
valuable
time
with
the
student.
Q
Our
proposal
is
to
turn
the
oath
simulator
room
into
a
gender-neutral,
bathroom
and
changing
space,
we'll
be
doing
this
by
separating
the
bathrooms
and
the
changing
spaces
and
fixing
the
lighting
and
working
the
plumbing
and
the
room.
Q
This
is
a
another
picture
of
the
proposed
phase.
Like
I
said,
there's
many
things
in
the
room
that
we
could
repurpose
or
give
back
to
the
warehouse,
and
those
capsules
are
throughout
the
room.
The
cabinets
could
be
repurposed
the
chairs,
the
desks,
the
ceiling,
tiles.
V
V
And
there
are
also
lockers
that
we
will
be
used
would
be
using
that
protrude
down
into
the
hallway.
And
it
would
create
more
space
in
the
hallways
for
students
to
be
able
to
walk.
X
As
you
can
see,
in
Rapid
we
created
a
3D
model
of
the
proposed
space.
It's
a
39
by
15
foot
area
has
two
doors
on
either
side
and
the
biggest
issue
with
the
room
would
be
the
electrical
because
on
either
side
the
electrical
is
connected.
So
if
you
were
to
come
in
on
one
side
of
the
room
and
turn
on
the
light,
it
would
turn
on
the
light
from
both
sides.
So
we
want
to
split
the
electrical.
X
Our
first,
this
is
our
first
iteration
of
the
design
where
we
decided
to
try
and
after
a
talk
with
our
principal
Gina,
Davenport
and
Miss
magazu
as
well
as
Miss
Madden.
She
really
relayed
to
us
that
we
didn't
need
the
showers,
because
students
don't
typically
take
showers
in
the
school
and
after
hearing
some
feedback
from
some
of
the
students,
we
learned
that
they
wanted
their
own
individual
changing
spaces.
X
X
So
we
decided
to
swap
to
a
new
design
where
we
would
split
it
into
two
hallways
and
you
would
walk
towards
the
and
on
either
side
of
the
two
hallways.
You
would
have
the
price
of
the
last
one
and
you'd
walk
by
and
on
either
side.
It
was
a
changing
and
bathroom
space
where
anybody
could
change
in
either
stall
and
feel
comfortable.
W
To
our
fuse
design,
which
is
our
proposed
project
after
talking
Miss
Pat's,
we
did
have
a
plumbing
issue
that
the
plumbing
is
only
located
on.
One
side
of
the
room
which
you
see
is
on
the
left
side
for
all
our
bathrooms
and
toilets
to
have
Plumbing
that
is
consistent
throughout
the
room
on
the
right
side
is
specifically
for
changing
only
which
also
does
help
us,
as
if
there's
a
student
that
needs
to
use
the
restroom.
Yet
they
are
not
changing
for
PE
classroom.
W
This
does
not
take
up
more
than
one
space
at
a
time
as
they
are
able
to
go
to
two
separate
areas.
We
still
did
follow
the
two
hallways
that
go
back.
That
way
we
make
the
most
out
of
the
space
for
the
amount
of
students,
as
we
do
believe
that
the
population
will
grow
as
a
rental
like
the
general
neutral
population
will
grabs.
The
rental
continues
to
thrive
throughout
the
years
and
the
to
ensure
that
we
have
the
most
space
usable.
We
decided
that
the
ADA,
Compliant
bathrooms
and
changing
rooms
would
be
on
the
bottom.
W
W
W
B
All
right
I
think
I'm
going
to
try
to
get
this
in
the
order
that
the
buttons
have
come
on.
There
are
obviously
some
comments
and
questions
from
our
board
members,
so
Ms
shulheim,
I,
believe
you're.
First.
C
Wow,
this
is
an
incredible
project
and
I
also
want
to
say
your
voice
is
beautiful
and
your
your
you're
playing
what's
beautiful
and
I,
you
will
have
a
bright
future
ahead
of
you
and
this
this
presentation
was
also
fantastic.
So
my
question
is:
what
is
the
next
step?
How
can
we
see
this
through?
C
How
can
we
implement
this?
What's
the
next
step
for
you
all
with
regard
to
this
project,.
X
Well,
the
next
step
would
be
gaining
funding
and
also
seeing
if
it's
actually
viable
inside
of
the
school
and
possible
to
build
that's
the
main
reason
and
point.
C
E
Thank
you.
Yes.
Indeed,
I
I
had
the
great
pleasure
to
to
see
this
in
the
building
the
this
vision
and
it's
to
me.
Oh
so
many
things
to
say,
first
of
all,
I
Wildcat
here
and
walking
into
that
simulator
room
where
I
took
driver's
education
in
the
simulators.
That
was
a
major
flashback.
E
But
to
me
this
is
what
the
high
school's
experience
should
be
for
every
single
student,
these
students,
I
I,
love
the
way
you
walked
us
through
all
these
iterations,
because
this
is
this
is
what
life
is
like
right
in
the
real
world
and
I
did
have
the
opportunity
to
ask
each
of
you
that
were
there
that
day,
if
you
plan
to
pursue
careers
in
this
area-
and
everyone
seemed
to
one
way
or
another,
you're
way
ahead
of
any
student
who
just
decides
to
major
in
something
like
this,
but
doesn't
have
that
Real
World
experience.
E
This
is
absolutely
what
the
high
school
experience
should
be
for
and
at
even
before
high
school
students
really
want
to
be
engaged.
They
they're
not
just
these
vessels
to
walk
in
the
door
every
day
and
absorb
information
and
gain
skills.
It's
it's
much
more
than
that
they
need
meaning,
and
this
is
so
meaningful.
E
So
congratulations
to
you
all!
I
I
think
you
have
done
so
much
work
here
that
it
is
the
foundation
you
know
to
for
a
project
that
truly
could
come
to
fruition.
Congratulations
thank.
R
Thank
you,
president
Tobin.
So,
first
of
all,
I'd
like
to
thank
Dr
McMahon
and
the
staff
for
the
presentation
about
the
Capstone
experiences
it
just
is
mind-boggling.
It
just
proves
to
me
what
I
already
know
the
great
things
that
are
happening
in
our
schools
in
Anne,
Arundel
County,
it's
it's!
It's
just
off
the
charts,
so
I
heard
that
the
Capstone
experiences
are
requiring
students
to
think
critically
solve
challenges
to
relevant
problems
while
developing
career
skills,
so
Arundel
Wildcats,
Did,
the
Wildcats
think
critically.
R
X
R
A
R
So
you
know
this
was
absolutely
superb
and
we
learned
from
our
mistakes.
We
rethink
continuously
what
we've
done.
We've
reevaluate,
as
you
did
until
such
time
that
you're
satisfied
and
you
seem
to
be
with
the
final
product
and
so
I
just
have
to
say
to
you,
Bravo
Bravo,
and
by
the
way,
what
a
bargain,
what
a
bargain.
R
B
Yes,
I'd
just
like
to
add
my
my
thanks
and
my
congratulations
to
all
of
the
students
here
today
so
to
our
astounding
performers.
Thank.
M
B
And
it's
amazing
to
see
the
holy
of
holies
become
a
club,
but
it
did
and-
and
that
was
that
was
a
just
a
beautiful
performance.
So
thank
you
and
to
all
of
you
who
I
had
the
pleasure
of
meeting
before
at
this.
Thank
you
for
this.
This
is
a
beautifully
done.
Project
and
I.
B
Just
want
to
add
I
understand
that
it
came
out
of
your
real
world
experience
of
the
fact
that
it
it's
kind
of
a
problem
to
have
a
class
on
the
bottom
level
and
not
have
a
working
bathroom
that
you
can
get
to.
B
But
you
are
doing
something
here
that
you
will
not
be
the
beneficiaries
of
you're,
doing
it
for
the
students
who
come
after
you,
and
that
is
extraordinary,
and
that
is
probably
one
of
the
most
important
things
you
lay
down
tracks
for
the
people
who
come
after
you
and
you
show
them
what
it
means
to
be.
Somebody
who
gives
to
your
community
and
to
people
that
you
may
never
meet,
and
you
may
never
know,
and
that's
true
of
your
performance
and
that's
true
of
this
design
and
it's
true
of
all
the
work
that
is
happening.
B
That
we
saw
and
Bravo
to
your
teachers
who
I
know,
are
people
that
you
work
closely
with.
You
clearly
have
great
affection
for
and
who
inspire
you.
This
is
as
Miss
Ellis
said,
this
is
project-based
learning.
Unfortunately,
we
too
often
talk
about
activities
based
learning
when
we
think
we're
talking
about
project-based
learning.
This
is
project-based
learning
and
clearly
Anne
Arundel
county
is
doing
a
wonderful,
wonderful
job
at
this
and
producing
extraordinary
graduates
who
will
only
make
the
future
better
for
all
of
us.
B
So
thank
you
all
I
think
I
heard
from
some
of
the
young
people
in
front
of
us
that
the
next
steps
are
actually
sort
of
in
our
court.
In
terms
of
you
know,
money.
B
But
you
certainly
have
my
support
for
this
project
and
I.
Would,
if
there's
a
CD
forthcoming
at
some
time,
I
would
love
to
know
about
it.
K
S
Well,
there's
a
few
we're
going
to
do
a
wrap
up
for
you,
Dr
Tobin,
so
as
you
all
captured,
amazing
learning
is
happening
all
across
our
high
schools
in
aacps,
with
respect
to
Capstone.
These
students
practice
hone
and
showcase
their
Career,
College
and
and
Community
ready
selves
every
day,
so
capstones
bring
that
authenticity
back
to
themselves
their
schools,
their
communities,
the
nation
and
Beyond
foreign.
O
O
We
have
been
planning
for
Career,
College
and
Community
Readiness
through
our
course
designs
program,
development
and
the
many
Partnerships
we
have
nurtured
with
Community
organizations,
businesses
Industries,
higher
education
and
government
agencies,
as
we
took
the
spin
around
the
county,
each
slide
of
Capstone
students
showed
the
integration
and
interweaving
of
our
many
CTE
magnet
signature
and
college
Pathways
and
Partnerships.
It
is
important
to
note,
however,
that
although
34
High
School
seniors
were
highlighted
this
afternoon,
we
have
20
to
30
times
that
number
who
are
actively
participating
in
Capstone
experiences
or
projects
across
our
County.
S
So
what's
next
for
us
well,
we
are
certainly
going
to
expand
the
array
of
high
quality,
Capstone
experiences
and
the
number
of
students
who
engage
in
them,
but
this
is
very
important.
This
slide
is
very
important.
I
know
it's
important
to
you:
Dr
Bedell.
There
is
movement
around
the
nation
to
have
students
graduate
high
school
with
something
called
market
value
assets.
O
As
I
conclude,
the
presentation
I'd
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
acknowledge
our
incredible
program
on
pathway,
teachers
and
administrators
who
support
these
Capstone
experiences
and
the
students
who
engage
in
them.
Additionally,
thanks
go
out
to
our
community
stakeholders
and
partners
who
also
support
and
Mentor
Capstone
students.
These
experiences
enable
enable
our
students
to
create
the
well
believe
in
themselves
and
plan
I
think,
as
you
said,
Dr
Tobin
for
robust
future
careers.
This
ends
our
presentation,
we'd,
be
glad
to
answer
any
questions
at
this
time.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity.
B
N
As
we
wrap
up
this
section,
I
know
we
have
teachers
in
here
who
have
worked
with
these
students
and
if
we
could,
if
you
could
stand
so,
we
can
acknowledge
you,
because
it
was
wonderful.
N
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
what
you
do
every
day
and
then
I
know
we
have
administrators
in
here
and
I
know.
Some
of
them
may
have
left
to
go
back
to
their
sites,
but
for
the
administrators.
Thank
you
all
for
everything
that
you
continue
to
do
to
support
your
teachers
and
allowing
them
to
to
Really
insert
their
pedagogical
Excellence
upon
these
students.
What
this
has
done
for
me
is
it
reminded
me
of
a
conversation
that
I
had
may
have.
N
Maybe
it
may
have
been
with
Dr
Tobin
or
maybe
the
officers
I,
don't
know
that
I've
had
it
with
the
full
board,
but
I
I
talked
about
this
model
that
we
utilized
in
Kansas,
City,
called
impact
funding
and
the
way
that
impact
funding
works
is
that
you
know
you
would
look
at
trying
to
allot
a
certain
pot
of
money
to
each
of
our
schools,
where
they
would
then
work
with
their
local
communities
to
take
care
of
like
small-scale
projects,
not
something
that
would
require.
N
You
know
the
the
larger
you
know,
operations
Department
to
do
because
they're
multi-million
dollar
projects
as
we
get
ready
to
hire.
You
know
our
seat
new
Chief,
Operating
Officer,
and
the
goal
is
to
bring
that
selection
to
the
school
board
on
May
24th.
You
know
these
are
the
things
that
we
will
talk
about,
doing,
trying
to
figure
out
what
are
ways
that
we
can
engage
the
community
in
solving
real
world
problems
that
exist,
that
our
students
are
able
to
solve.
Don't
know
whether
we'll
be
able
to
pull
it
off
or
not.
N
I
think
this
is
something
that
does
require
us
to
do
some
further
exploration
and
our
team
is
in
here
and
they've
heard
it,
and
we
will
continue
to
do
our
due
diligence
to
see
if
it
is
possible
or
not,
but
I
think
it
does
require
for
us
to
start
looking
at
how
we
could
do
things
differently.
N
You
know
from
a
funding
standpoint
to
really
remove
barriers
that
would
allow
for
some
of
this
work
to
take
place
more
at
the
local
level
and
we'll
see
what
happens
and
into
our
two
students
who
perform
back
here.
I
know
they
took
a
lot
of
work,
a
lot
of
practice,
a
lot
of
collaboration
to
pull
that
off.
N
E
E
So
it's
time
for
us,
our
job
is
to
roll
up
our
sleeves
and
and
there's
there's
so
many
again,
the
blueprint
was
not
intended
to
add
to
or
pile
on,
what's
happening
in
schools,
it's
designed
to
transform
our
schools,
so
there's
so
many
things
that
we
have
to
think
about,
including
the
school
day
right,
the
flex,
the
the
hours
that
students
are
in
school
and
and
what
kind
of
flexibility
is
needed
for
students
to
be
able
to
pursue
different
opportunities
and
still
have
you
know,
life
balance
our
graduation
requirements
right
now,
a
lot
of
students
are
are
faced
with
making
difficult
choices
about
pursuing
things,
they're
passionate
about
because
they
have
to
check
off
all
these
boxes.
E
So
these
are
just
a
couple
of
examples
of.
We
really
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do
in
terms
of
state
law
and
policy
to
really
pave
the
way
for
high
school.
To
be
more
like
this
I.
N
I
fully
agree
with
you,
you
couldn't
have
said
it
any
better
than
I
would
have
said
it.
So
thank
you
for
that,
and
that
gives
me
more
Assurance
of
you
know.
As
we
get
ready
to
build
out
this
strategic
plan.
You
know
the
boldness
that
we
want
to
have
within
that
strategic
plan,
to
really
see
a
lot
of
the
tenets
of
blueprint
play
out
the
way
that
it
should
to
benefit
our
students.
So
I
wanted
to
say
that,
and
last
thing
I
wanted
to
say
to
our
staff
that
just
presented.
N
D
Sorry
I
was
late,
I
thought
about
it
then
I
decided
not
to
then
I
thought
about
it
again.
So
you
guys-
and
this
is
for
the
students-
I
know
it's
a
great
experience,
but
what
you
choose
is
as
a
career
or
did
you
think
about
pursuing
this
as
a
career
and
no
is
okay?
Yes,.
J
Q
I
will
be
attending
ccpc,
Gainesville
and
enrolling
in
the
construction
management
program
and
also
be
playing
baseball.
There.
X
W
P
Y
Z
D
Well,
that's
only
because
he's
going
to
stay
around
stick
around
to
hang
out
with
me,
though,
right
Brent
I
only
ask
you
that
question,
because
it's
great
that
we
have
an
opportunity
for
you
to
see.
If
the
thing
that
you
think
you
want
to
do,
do
you
really
want
to
stick
with
it
and
I'm
really
really
excited
that?
D
You
all
not
only
know
what
you
want
to
do
your
head
in
a
direction
to
do
it,
and
the
last
thing
I
have
is
I've,
never
seen
an
apprenticeship
that
I
don't
like
I,
promote
it
promoted,
promoted
because
the
print
apprenticeships
not
only
get
you
the
hands-on
experience,
but
it
also
lowers
the
cost
of
that
college
bill
so
kudos
to
both
the
electrical
Apprentice
that
the
gentlemen
that
are
going
into
the
electrical
Apprentice.
Thank
you.

All
right
snap
is
already
here,
so
we
are
excited
to
have
an
opportunity
to
go
through
the
new
course
approvals.
We
have
a
trying
to
see
where
I
could
find
it.
Project
management,
fundamentals,
project
management
applications,
so
I
will
pass
it
over
to
Ryan
and
Ryan
Sackett
I'm
gonna
make
sure
I
got
that
right
and
staff,
and
let's
do
it
thanks.
AA
It's
perfect:
it's
perfectly
fine,
I'll
I'll,
try
and
get
taller
I
promise,
but
Ryan
can
good
afternoon
for
the
record.
My
name

I
am
also
joined

the
amazing
coordinators
in
curriculum
and
instruction
at
the
end
of
the
presentation.
Today,
we
will
be
happy
to
answer
questions
around
these
courses.
At
this
time,
I
will
have
the
Middle
School
language
arts
coordinator
and
the
coordinator
of
CTE
introduced
themselves.
AA
The
main
goal
of
our
aacps
strategic
plan
is
to
ensure
that
every
student
needs
meets
or
exceeds
standards
as
achievement
gaps
are
eliminated.
Courses
are
designed
to
provide
all
aacps
students
with
rigorous,
relevant
and
inclusive
opportunities
that
enable
them
to
successfully
navigate

Theater
6,
7
and
8
is
a
middle
school
course.
If
approved,
it
will
start
at
Monarch
Global
Academy.
During
this
course,
students
will
learn
performance,
skills,
study,
different
methods
of
acting
and
performance,
analyze,
scripts,
learn,
theater
and
audience
etiquette
critique
and
revise
each
other's
scripts
write
their
own
original
siloquies,
learn
about
the
changing
work
of
theater
and
direct
and
perform
in
several
Productions.
Each
theater
unit
will
connect
to
a
current
core
grade
level
unit
of
study
and
will
culminate
in
a
performance
piece
by
providing
another
artistic
creative
Outlet.
AA
This
course
will
increase
opportunities
for
middle
school
students
to
apply
their
speaking
and
listening.
Skills
become
more
confident,
employ
good
decision
making
and
collaboration.
Additionally,
this
course
allows
for
students
to
be
better
prepared
when
applying
for
the
Apex
Arts
Magnet
program,
knowing
our
charter
schools
of
Greater
flexibility
in
their
schedules.
We
plan
to
start
this
course
at
Monarch,
Global
Academy,
with
hopes
of
later
expanding
to
other
schools
in
our
district.
AA
B
Thank
you,
Ms
Howard,
so
I
see
a
couple
of
Lights
MS
shulheim.
C
So
regarding
what
I
heard
about
the
the
Monarch
one
for
the
for
the
theater
program,
which
I
theater
courses
I,
should
say
which
sound
amazing.
You
said
that
in
hopes
that
you
would
roll
it
out
to
other
schools
later,
what
does
that
timeline?
Look
like
into
what
schools.
AA
So
the
Monarch
Academy
has
more
flexibility
in
their
schedule
and
as
we
learn
and
grow
in
our
Middle
School
scheduling
and
as
we
grow
the
capacity
of
our
teachers,
we
will
be
able
to
expand
into
our
academic
middle
schools
across
the
county.
But
right
now
for
the
plan,
it's
to
start
there
and
tweak
the
curriculum
and
get
things
ready
to
go
for
the
other
schools.
C
Got
it
got
it
and
then
the
the
the
project
management
courses
to
which
high
schools
those
will
be
available
at
all
high
schools,
all
high
schools?
Okay,
great!
Thank
you
so
much.
E
Thank
you,
I
I
always
get
excited
to
look
at
our
new
courses
being
offered,
but
I
I
and
personally,
very
passionate
about
all
three
of
these
courses.
I
I've
spoken
many
times
about
the
Performing
Arts
and
my
family's
involvement
in
it
I
I
wish
we
could
roll
this
course
out
across
all
middle
schools
immediately.
E
This
course
is
is
going
to
solve
a
real
Equity
issue,
because
there
are
many
kids
who
are
fascinated
and
passionate
about
the
Performing
Arts
who
are
able
to
pursue
that
through
weekend
classes
and
Productions,
and
all
of
those
sorts
of
things
and
there's
a
lot
of
kids
who
don't
have
those
opportunities,
and
so
I
think
this
is
gonna
solve
so
many
issues
that
we
have
right
now
as
far
as
students
being
able
to
then
come
into
our
high
schools,
ready,
whether
it's
ready
to
audition
for
performance,
where
some
kids
are
very
experienced
with
that
and
others
did
not
have
those
opportunities
and
I
also
think
it's
going
to
make
our
Apex
Arts
it's
going
to
raise
the
level.
J
E
Project
management-
this
is
incredible
I,
so
I
am
I,
am
in
the
Government
Contracting
industry
and
every
project
that
we
bid
on
has
a
project
manager
and
being
in
this
area
in
the
DC
area.
The
opportunities
are
endless.
This
is
once
again
another
example
of
putting
our
students
ahead
of
of
students
from
you
know,
other
districts,
so
I
fully
support
and
who?
How
is
this
who's
developing
this
course.
T
So
we're
utilizing
an
online
platform
called
Ed
to
go.
It's
actually
the
same
platform
that
the
community
colleges
use
to
deliver
their
non-credit
project
management
course
we're
in
discussion
with
Community
College
to
see
if
they
want
to
partner
with
us
in
delivering
it
it'll
be.
The
goal
is
to
deliberate
through
Ed,
to
go,
which
has
been
around
for
a
long
time,
teaching
this
class
with
high
degree
success.
Okay,.
B
Yes,
thank
you
I'd
like
to
add
my
my
thoughts
to
that
so
similar
to
mazelus.
Obviously,
with
regard
to
the
theater
I've
I've
spoken
that
that's
how
I
started
my
career
as
a
professional
actress,
and
so
it's
near
and
dear
to
my
heart
and
I
agree
very
much
about
the
equity
issues
of
again
exposure
for
as
many
of
our
students
as
possible
to
the
Arts
and
to
all
the
enrichment,
that's
out
there
and
all
the
possibilities
that
allow
them
to
develop
whatever
their
particular
potential
is.
B
But
I
also
believe
from
my
own
experience
and
and
from
research.
I've
I've
read
that
theater
courses
are
are
unique
in
sometimes
in
their
ability
to
teach
some
of
the
social
emotional
skills
that
that
are
very
needed
right
now
and
seem
to
be
particularly
crucial,
at
least
right
now
in
Middle
School,
and
so
so.
Many
of
the
while
it's
wonderful
to
have,
as
mazawa
said,
the
opportunities
for
students
to
to
sort
of
gain
experience
and
training
in
this
there's
more
to
it
than
that
as
well.
B
There's
there's
a
a
certain,
broader
opportunity
here,
so
I
would
again
say:
I
think
the
sooner
we
can
develop
this
and
roll
it
out
to
as
many
schools
as
possible,
the
better
for
all
of
our
students
and
similarly
having
been
married
to
someone
who
carries
whatever
the
senior
PMI
you
know
stuff,
is
we
work
in
very
different
fields?
You
know
it's
it's
it's
very
clear
that
as
Mazzella
said,
this
is
this
is
a
critical
certification.
B
The
project
management
that
will
really
help
our
students,
but
again
project
management,
is
one
of
those
essential
skills
for
almost
anything
that
you
do
so.
There
is
a,
in
my
view,
a
much
broader
educational
opportunity
for
it,
and
so
I
just
congratulate
you
on
on
going
down
these
paths.
I
think
they're
both
tremendously
valuable
for
our
students
in
their
different
ways
and
certainly
you'll,
have
my
support
on
this
and
I
think.
As
soon
as
we
can
see
these
rolled
out,
I
will
I'll
be
very,
very
happy,
so
I
see
no
more
lights.
C
I'd
like
to
move
to
approve
all
three
courses:
okay,.
Z
AA
N
AB
All
right,
so
the
calendar
is
kind
of
odd
this
year.
So
we
typically
do
this
briefing
before
we
have
a
chance
to
speak
about
it
in
front
of
the
County
Council.
But
the
way
the
calendar
worked
with
board
meetings
and
Council
meetings
a
little
bit
of
the
opposite,
but
so
I'm
going
to
walk
you
through
first
the
operating
budget.
If
that's
okay,
Dr
Tobin
and
then
we'll
stop
for
questions
and
then
we'll
move
to
the
to
the
capital
budget,
we'll
wait
for
the
exhibit
to
get
on
or
all.
AB
Having
technical
difficulties,
we
have
everyone
have
a
copy
all
right,
so
we'll
we'll
go
down
we'll
walk
through.
So
what
I'm
going
to
do
is
you
know
the
board
adopted
a
budget
back
in
February
for
a
request?
The
county
executive
I
will
walk
through
the
changes
that
the
county
executive
made
in
his
proposal
to
the
Council
on
May,
the
1st,
so
we'll
start
with
revenues
at
the
top.
The
the
board
asked
for
528.7
million
and
state
revenue
based
on
what
the
legislature
approved.
AB
That
number
is
527.8,
so
it
is
a
60.1
million
dollar
increase
over
last
fiscal
year.
That's
a
large
jump
and
again
this
is
due
to
enrollment
increases
year
over
year
or
about
1200
students
more
this
year
than
last
year
and
our
dramatic
increase
in
free
and
reduced
price
meal
student
population,
and
so
with
those
two
combinations
we're
at
60.1
million
dollars.
Over
last
year
we
did
ask
the
county
executive
for
909.3
million
dollars
and
the
county
executive
came
in
at
879.7,
which
is
a
45
million
dollar
increase
over
last
year.
AB
So
again,
if
you
remember
last
fiscal
year,
we
received
15
million
in
additional
revenue
from
the
county
this
year
there
the
increase
is
a
good
amount
at
45
million,
so
again
a
sizable
increase
year
over
year
from
the
county
executive.
AB
So
then,
again
all
in
the
county
executive
from
a
revenue
standpoint,
there
were
no
other
changes.
He
in
the
in
the
in
the
administration
agreed
with
all
the
other
recommended
Revenue
projections
and
so
we're
at
right
now
1.64
billion
dollars,
which
is
118.9
million
over
last
fiscal
year.
AB
So
that's
the
revenue
picture,
we'll
we'll
move
down
to
now.
Expenditures
I
just
want
to
highlight,
said:
I
was
going
to
highlight
changes,
but
I
will
highlight
in
the
compensation
section,
because
I
think
it's
important
to
highlight
this,
that
the
county
executive
did
agree
with
the
board's
recommendation
and
fully
funded
the
entire
compensation
package,
which
is
a
big
step
and
I
would
say
kudos
to
both
Dr
Bedell
and
the
board.
AB
I
think
what
that
showed
is
the
county,
Executives
faith,
that
you
know
our
prioritization
is
in
the
right
place
and
that
he
in
the
administration
were
looking
to
fulfill
what
you
know
this
board
asked
for
in
as
far
as
what
we
felt
we
needed
for
our
employees,
so
great
news
there,
the
first
two
changes
the
the
county
did.
You
know,
take
a
look
at
our
vacancy
rates
and
our
turnover
and
did
recommend
and-
and
you
know
we
concurred
with
it.
AB
An
additional
three
million
dollar
reduction
in
our
budget
to
you
know
recognize
that
we
have
seen
over
the
past
few
years,
a
lot
of
retirements
and
and
and
Replacements
with
Mark
Jr
faculty,
and
so
that
does
allow
for
additional
savings
so
that
three
million
dollars
is
built
in
next.
One
is,
if
you
remember
last
legislative
session,
the
general
assembly
assembly
passed
a
new
mandate
for
paid
family
medical
leave
for
employees.
AB
This
legislative
session,
a
bill,
was
passed
to
delay
the
implementation
of
that
legislation
by
one
year
to
allow
State
Regulators
to
put
more
rules
in
place
to
allow
them
to
set
rates,
and
so
we
will
be
monitoring
when
those
rules
come
out,
but
in
the
meantime
we
had
requested
4.5
million
dollars
that
4.5
million
is
not
needed
due
to
the
delay
in
that
implementation
of
that
legislation.
AB
So
moving
down
our
commitments
were
fully
funded.
One
change
in
the
blueprint
mandate
section,
but
that
was
again.
This
is
related
to
the
state
calculation
of
what
will
be
distributed
through
the
concentration
of
poverty
Grant
to
our
community
schools
and
again
I'll
remind
the
board.
We
currently
have
15
Community
Schools
next
year,
we'll
be
adding
eight
more.
So
we
will
now
have
a
total
of
23
schools
in
this
program.
AB
Going
on
next
changes.
Here
we
talked
a
lot
about
the
Esser
funding
Cliff.
This
Cliff
is
only
going
to
grow
as
sr2
expires
in
fiscal
24
and
then
obviously,
the
the
bigger
Grant
sr3,
108
million
dollar
Grant
will
be
set
to
expire
in
fiscal
25..
AB
So
what
we've
seen
here
is
we
are
able
to
at
least
self-fund
1.0
program
specialist
in
the
Career
and
Technical
education
area,
and
this
is
our
computer
science
program
specialist,
so
we'll
be
able
to
now
fully
fund
that
in
the
general
fund
next
changes,
the
science
of
reading
was
not
funded
but
as
as
I
spoke
to
the
council
about
this,
there
is
a
large
investment
in
sr3
in
the
science
of
reading.
So
I
am
not
concerned
about
this
reduction.
I
will
be.
You
know
we'll
be
looking
at
this.
AB
Obviously,
once
the
sr3
grant
expires
on
that,
we
did
ask
for
2.9
Million
Dollars
in
technology
this
we
have
been
using
Esser
funds
to
to
fund
our
one-to-one
program
as
well
as
provide
mobile
laptop
devices
for
all
our
unit,
one
and
four
employees,
and
so
we
asked
for
2.9.
We
were
able
to
secure
a
million
dollars.
So
you
will
see
this
line
item
come
up
again
next
fiscal
year.
No
doubt
but
I
will
say
this
wasn't
a
change,
and
this
is
great.
AB
The
last
one,
the
Virtual
Academy,
was
able
to
be
fully
funded
in
the
general
fund
and
so
now
rest
assured
once
count
the
council
approves.
We
will
officially
have
this
school
funded
out
of
the
general
fund
and
out
of
Federal
one-time
grants,
so
that
is
great
news
for
for
us
moving
down
the
list.
We
have
no
changes
in
the
alternative
education
or
request.
AB
The
constituent
service
liaison,
unfortunately,
was
not
funded
in
the
county.
Executives
24
budget
requests
fully
funded
he'd,
fully
fund
The
Early
Childhood
requests
moving
down
to
English
language
development.
We
did
ask
for
19
teachers
and
two
teaching
assistants
in
the
English
language
development
area.
County
Executive
was
able
to
fund
10
teachers,
so
he
did.
He
did
cut
nine
teachers
and
two
Tas
from
that
request.
AB
Next,
on
the
list
that
did
not
make
it
was
a
triple
E
in
the
Old
Mill
cluster.
So
I
think
this
is
the
one
program
we
continue
to
struggle
to
get
fully
funded
and
and
move
to
all
of
our
clusters.
So
I
think
you
know
the
administration
is
going
to
take
a
look
at
what
we
can
do,
because
this
is
probably
year.
AB
Four
or
five
now,
where
we
have
asked
for
enhancements
in
this
program
and
have
not
received
them,
and
so
we
have
to
kind
of
go
back
to
the
drawing
board
and
figure
out
what
to
do
here,
and
there
are
areas
of
Recruitment
and
record
and
retention.
The
board
did
ask
for
four
right:
start
advisors,
who
are
teacher
mentors
that
those
were
not
funded
in
the
county
executive
request,
as
well
as
five
teaching
assistants
and
those
were
for
kindergarten
classrooms,
as
well
as
five
permanent
substitutes.
AB
Those
were
not
funded
in
the
county,
Executives
request
as
well,
and
the
social
emotional
front
happy
to
report
here.
Actually
we,
you
know,
we
asked
for
12
assistant
principals.
We
typically
get
zero
from
from
the
county.
We
are
able
to
secure
an
account
executive's
proposal,
six,
which
is
awesome,
great
news
there
we
were
able
to
secure
our
two
full-time
now
Community
ambassadors
and
then
for
the
rest
of
the
social
emotional
positions
you
can
see.
We
asked
for
two
ppws.
AB
We
are
funded
for
one
three
school
counselors
funded
for
two
three
or
four
School
psychologists
funded
at
three,
and
then
we
did
ask
for
three
School
social
workers
and
a
secretary
for
the
office,
and
we
were
funded
the
three
social
workers,
but
we're
not
funded
the
secretary
okay.
Moving
on,
we
did
have
a
various
line
items
in
special
education,
I
think
what
I
will
say
here
is
you
know.
Obviously
you
can
see
from
from
the
from
the
exhibit
that
none
of
those
requests
were
funded.
AB
I
will
say
that
this
budget
and
this
current
fiscal
year
and
next
fiscal
year
we
are
putting
a
lot
of
investment
into
existing
special
education
Personnel.
If
you
recall,
in
the
compensation
line,
we
have
two
thousand
dollar
retention
and
recruitment
bonus
for
unit
one
special,
ed
employees
that
is
on
top
of
the
Maryland,
leads
Grant
this
year
paid
unit,
1,
Unit,
4
and
temporary
tsa's
a
retention
bonus,
and
so
we
are
really
focusing
on
efforts
on
on
retaining
our
existing
special
ed,
Workforce
and
I.
AB
Just
think
from
the
administration's
perspective
that
they
wanted
to
have
us
focus
on
retaining
those
folks
before
we
added
new
fdes
and
so
I.
Think
that's
why
you
see
the
the
lack
of
funding
for
for
this
area
at
this
time.
The
last
two
we
have.
We
were
funded
for
the
bilingual
specialist
in
the
in
the
transportation
department,
which
is
great
news,
and
then
we
were
funded
for
the
22
ftes
for
our
alternative
vehicle
program
through
for
so
for
drivers
and
aids.
AB
For
our
vans,
the
reduction
you
see
there
is
through
funding
for
the
purchase
of
additional
contractual
services
for
Vans,
as
well
as
the
purchase
of
district-owned
Vans.
We
have
alternative
funding
sources,
either
through
the
capital
budget
or
through
fourth
quarter,
which
we'll
discuss
later
on
today.
That
will
procure
those
vans
and
we
believe
we
have
the
resources
necessary
to
continue
and
expand
our
van
program
for
next
school
year.
AB
So
with
that,
we
asked
for
9.75
increase.
We
received
7.7
percent
I,
think
all
in
all.
That
is
a
that
is
a
win
for
Dr
Bedell,
the
administration,
this
District
and
for
for
the
board,
and
but
obviously
we
have
some
work
left
to
do
until
June
14th,
when
the
council
is
scheduled
to
vote
just
for
the
record.
The
first
public
hearing
for
the
Council
on
the
budget
is
tomorrow
at
the
Arundel
Center
and
then
there's
another
one,
next
Thursday
I
believe
at
Crofton
high
school.
B
Thank
you,
Ms
Ellis,.
E
Thank
you,
so
I
was
going
to
ask
the
question
and
then
you
did
answer
it.
The
I
think
the
thinking
in
the
special
education
category
aligns
with
what
I
assumed
was
their
thinking,
which
you
know
I
I
I
can
see
that
train
of
thought.
You
know
it's
it's
already
difficult
to
recruit
and
retain
in
this
area.
So
if
you
can't
fully
fund
the
requests,
I
I
can
see
that
line
of
thinking,
but
Dr
Bedell.
What
are
your
thoughts
to
this?
Does
this
bring
you
great
concern.
N
Not
at
this
juncture,
until
we
can
fully
staff
what
we
already
have
I
mean
I
think
that's
the
same
approach.
I
took
initially
when
I
presented
our
budget
to
you.
All
right
was
that
we
tried
to
not
add
a
tremendous
amount
of
ftes
in
the
budget,
knowing
that
it
would
be
very
difficult
to
fill
those
those
positions,
and
we
know
right
now
with
special
education,
the
work
that
needs
to
be
done
to
even
try
to
convert
other.
N
You
know
Educators,
who
have
General
certifications
and
may
also
be
an
approach
that
we're
going
to
have
to
take
just
because
it's
just
not
a
significant
amount
of
them
entering
into
universities
and
wanting
to
take
that
route.
So
we
hope
that
the
incentive
will
help
a
bit
with
that,
but
no
I'm.
This
is
not
I'm
not
devastated
by
this
right
now.
N
I
think,
as
we
shared
an
exact
session
about
looking
at
the
retention
of
teachers,
the
resignations
or
those
that
have
retired,
as
we
hopefully
will
begin
to
see
more
of
a
decline,
then
it'll
be
easier
for
us
to
continue
to
recommend
making
sure
that
we
get
the
support
for
these
ftes.
Because
the
part
of
our
issue
is
we're
constantly
finding
ourselves
having
to
fill
with
the
people
who
are
already
here
that
are
deciding
to
choose
other
career
options.
N
E
N
E
Great,
so
it
seems
to
me
overall,
the
the
County
Executives
recommendation
is
is
a
real
win
for
our
students.
It's
going
to
provide
much
of
what
our
superintendent
in
this
board
believes.
We
really
need.
E
I
I
have
to
bring
attention
to
the
constituent
Services
position
that
that
is
the
the
bang
for
our
buck.
For
that
you
know,
that's
such
a
small
line
item
that
is
going
to
provide
a
tremendous
service
to
the
entire
School
Community.
One
person
will
be
serving
the
entire
School
community
and
and
I
I
just
want
to
stay
over
and
over
again
that
this
position
is
for
our
school
Community.
This
is
not
for
the
Board
of
Education.
This
is
this
is
the
the
people's
constituent
Services
person.
E
This
is
a
person.
Who's
gonna
really
help
them
navigate
the
system
in
in
a
way
that
the
board
simply
can't
because
of
our
the
various
hats
that
we
wear.
So
that's
one
thing
that
really
brings
me
concerned.
Thank
you.
B
M
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
folks,
for
navigating
through
this
and
getting
us
to
the
part.
We
are
to
the
place
that
we
are
I,
think
Miss
Ellis
and
had
asked
the
the
one
question
that
I
had
and
and
received.
The
answer
already.
M
I
had
two
questions:
I
guess
for
the
bonds
that
were
approved
for
from
this
by
the
state
to
the
school
system,
refresh
my
memory
at
some
point
when
they
come
in
the
county
they're
received
and
then
they
get
amended
into
the
but
enveloped
into
our
budget.
Correct
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
I
I
understand
that.
J
M
M
M
M
The
Education
Agency
for
this
County
is
larger
than
the
whole
of
the
rest
of
the
county,
as
it
relates
quantitatively
and
I
would
argue
qualitatively,
because
we're
talking
about
our
kids
so
I
think
we
need
to
change
the
mentality
of
to
Dem,
better
demonstrate
how
much
value
we
put
on
the
education
compared
to
a
pothole
compared,
not
I.
Believe
me,
I
worked
in
County,
constituent
Services.
There
is
great
value
for
that,
but
the
needs
have
changed
over
the
last
five
years
and
I.
M
Don't
think
I
would
recommend
the
format
that
I
was
involved
in
just
Amir
shy.
Five
years
ago
we
have
gone
through
the
exercise
of
learning
the
hard
lessons
that
our
residents
are
part
of
our
community
and
we
do
not
receive
compensation
to
equate
to
part-time.
To
equate
to
anything.
The
board
of
appeals
makes
more
money,
so
does
the
police
Review
Committee,
then
we
do
as
individuals.
M
If
we
had
someone
out,
we
are
representatives
of
the
people
and
if
we
are
limited
in
our
ability
to
access
those
people
regularly
consistently
and
be
responsive,
we
are
limited
in
how
transparent
and
interactive
we
can
be,
and
that
does
affect
our
decisions.
So
I
hope
that
we
can
change
the
mentality
surrounding
how
the
relevance
of
this
board
is
to
our
education
and
make
sure
it
is
supported.
So
we
can
well
support
everyone.
M
I,
don't
think
it
is
selfish
or
unreasonable
to
request
25
of
the
resources
that
every
other
elected
official
receives
some
even
more
because
we
represent
the
same
amount
of
people.
I
represent
76
000
residents
and
we
collect
each
one
of
us
represent
all
84,
plus
plus
thousand
students,
I,
think
it's
a
reasonable
request
and
I
think
it's
very
short-sighted
of
our
funders
to
evaluate
that
based
on
any
individual
that
they
may
feel
or
about
the
collective
decisions
that
this
board
may
or
may
not
have
taken.
Thank
you.
C
C
I
understand
the
rationale
for
all
of
the
items
that
were
not
funded
or
funded
at
a
lesser
rate
and
I
think
this
is
a
darn
good
budget
and
I'm
going
to
Advocate
like
hack
for
it
and
all
the
County
Council
people.
You
look
in
your
inbox,
you'll
see
a
meeting
request
for
me
and
I
look
forward
to
speaking
with
all
of
you
in
support
of
this
budget
and
I'm
grateful
for
it.
Thank
you.
H
B
Thank
you,
so
I
see
no
more
lights
on
this
portion.
So
if
we
can
proceed,
thank
you
all.
AB
Right,
similar
good
news
on
the
capital
budget
front
and
the
board
is
familiar
with
the
the
layout
of
this
of
this,
and
so
we'll
I'll
walk
you
through
what
changes
were
were
proposed
in
the
county,
executive's
request
to
the
council,
so
the
first
line
item
on
security
related
upgrades,
the
board
did
request
two
million
dollars
executive
proposed
1.2
million
1.25
million
for
for
fiscal
24..
AB
We
discussed
with
them
Thursday
some
a
possibility
of
some
grants
that
we
could
possibly
apply
for,
but
we
will,
you
know,
be
advocating
to
to
receive
full
funding
on
this.
On
this
one
number:
four,
we
actually
did
receive
additional
state
grants,
and
so
it's
actually
an
increase
from
our
request.
We
requested
seven
million.
We
ended
up
with
7.8,
we
did
get
eight
hundred
and
seventy
thousand
dollar
Grant
to
again
replace
additional
fuel
oil
schools,
powered
for
the
fuel
oil
and
convert
them
to
Natural
Gas.
AB
There
we
go
making
making
progress
there
yep
here
we
go
relocated,
relocatable
classrooms.
We
did
ask
for
1.2
million
only
awarded
600
000.,
the
school
bus
replacement.
We
did
ask
for
two
million
dollars.
800
000
was
awarded
there
as
well,
but
we
do
believe
we'll
be
able
to
get
the
purchases
fund
our
purchases
necessary,
especially
with
the
now
the
new
extension
of
three
years
with
the
legislation
for
Anne
Arundel
County,
which
is
good
school
Furniture
600
000,
was
requested.
The
county
executive
only
funded
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
vehicle
replacement.
AB
We
did
take
a
hundred
thousand
dollar
cut
there
as
well
athletic
Stadium,
Improvement,
so
miss
corcodile.
This
is
to
your
point.
We
did
ask
for
3.5.
We
ended
up
with
5.4
million.
This
is
due
to
two
big
one,
really
large
2.2
million
dollars
for
that
that
second
turf
field
in
Southern
High
School.
So
that
is
a
big
win
for
us,
and
then
there
was
a
couple
hundred
thousand
dollar
Bond
bill
for
to
begin
the
Chesapeake
High
School,
the
field
house.
That's
right!
AB
Yes,
at
the
Chesapeake,
High
School
field,
house,
I,
don't
know
why
I
blanked
on
that
and
then
finally,
a
half
a
million
dollar
cut
in
driveway
and
parking
lot
improvements.
We
had
asked
for
a
million
dollars
and
ended
up
with
500
000..
So
all
in
you
know,
we
asked
for
197
million
and
ended
up
with
196.3
in
the
request
so
another
another
good
good
showing
for
us
I
think
on
the
capitol
budget
front
and
with
that
Dr
Tobin
members
of
the
board
were
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
have.
C
It
is
rare
that
we
don't
see
any
red
I'm,
particularly
happy
with
the
maintenance
backlog
because,
like
this
represents,
even
though
7.8
million
you
think
my
God,
that's
a
huge
number
I
think
our
actual
maintenance
backlog
is
somewhere
in
the
midst
of
about
350
million
dollars,
if
I'm
not
mistaken
somewhere
in
that
range,
and
it's
not
just
that
like
kicking
the
can
down
the
road
does
two
things
it
makes.
C
It
makes
the
that
maintenance
more
expensive
going
forward,
and
then
you
don't
get
any
of
the
savings
that
you
would
incur
with
more
efficient
equipment.
So
the
fact
that
it's
you
know,
above
and
beyond
what
we
asked
for
is
great
and
just
like
the
operating
budget,
I'm
gonna
Lobby
like
Hector.
This
and
I
am
grateful
to
the
county
executive
and
I
hope
that
our
County
Council
doesn't
touch
this
nor
the
operating
budget
leave
it
alone.
It's
fine
as
it
is.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you,
I
see
no
more
lights.
Well,
thank
you.
Mr
stansky,
Mr,
Roof,
Miss
Carmelo
for
the
incredible
work
that
you
did.
The
turnaround
I
know
had
to
be
rather
quick
to
put
all
this
together
for
the
County
Council
and
we
truly
appreciate
it
and
thank
you
for
the
excellent
work.
Thank.
F
B
We
have
a
motion
and
a
second
any
any
questions.
Okay,
so
we'll
vote
on
the
motion
to
bundle.
N
M
Yeah,
a
quick
question,
so
I've
been
doing
some
spot
review
on
on
the
stephanite,
the
interaction
on
the
student
side.
Are
they
actually
doing
the
book
and
the
materials
and
stuff?
Because
there's
like
questions
and
everything
else,
so
they're
actually
checking
things
in
electronically
it.
So
the
interaction
is
it
it
is
in.
In
other
words,
are
there
textbooks
it's
just
that
it's
an
ebook
and
and
all
those
questions
and
interactions?
Is
that
how
they're
learning
all
of
these
courses-
or
is
this
in
addition
to
other
textbooks.
M
General,
so
if
you
like
U.S
government,
when
you
pull
up
the
book,
The
Student
Book,
you
know,
there's
teacher
and
everything
is
electronic
and
I.
Guess:
I
just
need
to
get
a
little
more
with
the
times,
but
with
it,
but
I
was
curious
because
then
their
sample,
you
know
analysis
and
exercises.
I
was
just
wondering
how
much
of
that
we
use
as
far
as
the
student
hanging
out
with
their
you
know,
with
their
laptop
versus
the
interactions.
It's.
S
Teacher
choice
at
some
level
right,
we
adhere
to
the
curriculum
and
then
these
materials
would
support
the
curriculum,
but
what
teachers
are
allowed
to
do
is
in
many
cases
they
design
their
lesson
plans
based
on
the
teaching
materials
and
then
sometimes
the
students
use
those
materials
at
home
via
brightspace
or
other
other
mechanisms,
and
sometimes
they
use
them
in
school
as
one
of
many
resources
and
then
sometimes
they
are
the
core
of
a
lesson.
So
it
really
depends.
S
But
it's
a
good
question:
we
try
to
help
the
teachers
use
the
materials
as
best
as
possible,
because
these
new
materials
they
have
the
ability
to
annotate
yeah.
That's.
S
Right
and
it's
one
don't
always
do
that
right.
It's
one
of
the
things
we're
doing
this
summer,
we're
leveraging
the
PD
for
teachers
to
really
help
them
understand
that
the
new
materials
that
we're
purchasing
have
the
ability
for
students
to
listen
in
English
and
Spanish
have
the
ability
for
students
to
annotate.
They
can
move
pieces
of
the
text
around
I
mean
it
truly
is
a
new
day
in
the
ability
for
students
to
own
their
own
learning.

motion
passes

Thank
you.
N
Madam
president,
this
is
a
very
positive
approval
that
we're
asking
for
the
superintendent
recommends
no
increase
in
the
food
and
nutrition
services,
pricing
for
the
2023-2024
school
year
and
we
have
staff
available
if
needed.
B
AC
B
E
Thank
you
certainly
good
news
for
our
students,
families
pocketbooks,
but
with
the
tremendous
amount
of
inflation.
How
are
we
doing
this
because
I,
you
know,
there's
two
questions:
where's
the
money
coming
from.
Second
of
all,
is
this
impacting
the
quality
and
I'm
not
suggesting
it
is
I
just
want
to
be
able
to
share
how
this
is
happening.
AB
I'm
gonna,
let
the
Superstar
here
answer
that
question
nationally
renowned,
Food
Service
supervisor,
so
thank.
AD
You
thank
you
again
for
the
opportunity
to
be
in
front
of
you
all
and
thank
you
for
the
support
that
you
give
the
division
of
food
and
nutrition
services.
AD
I
really
think
you
know
the
dedicated
staff
that
we
have
is
you
know
Second
To
None.
We
say
all
the
time
in
Anne,
Arundel
County,
that
we
have
a
great
team
and
great
staff
and
great
support,
but
without
a
doubt
food
and
nutrition
services
staff.
The
commitment
is
there
we're
running
extremely
short
staff.
We
have
all
year,
which
makes
it
very
difficult,
and
it's
never
without
hesitation
of
a
smile
in
a
caring
meal.
That's
healthy
that
tastes
great
for
each
one
of
our
students,
so
they
can
achieve
everything
academically
that
they
deserve
to
achieve.
AD
How
do
we
do
it?
It's
a
lot
of
work,
it's
a
lot
of
commitment,
but
it's
constant
communication
right.
So
we
we
looked
at
our
menu
I'm
still
the
registered
dietitian
that
creates
the
menu
with
great
honor.
The
food
items
are
unbelievably
healthy,
wholesome
streamlined,
looking
at
clean
labels
and
allergen
free
and
all
those
great
things
that
we
can
do
for
our
students.
But
it's
a
lot
of
dialogue
off
and
on
with
all
of
our
manufacturers.
All
of
our
vendors
to
the
point
of
weekly.
We
do
that
our
prices
have
gone
up
substantially.
AD
Some
things
have
gone
up
five
percent.
Some
things
are
gone
up
to
65
percent
If.
The
product
is
the
right
product
for
our
students,
we're
going
to
serve
it,
we're
going
to
figure
out
how
to
how
do
we
purchase
it,
and
how
do
we
still
will
make
that
meal
available
with
our
unlimited
fruits
and
vegetables
for
all
of
our
children
throughout
our
district
with
great
success?
So
as
we
we
streamlined
our
menu,
we
use
a
lot
of
the
same
items.
AD
For
instance,
we
might
have
a
meatball
that
we
could
do
one
two
or
three
entrees
with
which
it's
less
skus,
less
inventory,
more
efficiencies
on
the
streamlined
menu
and
our
participation
continues
to
increase
so
we're
not
as
high
as
we
were
in
covid
or
in
the
pandemic.
When
we
were
doing
free
breakfast
lunch
dinner
and
snack,
but
our
meal,
our
lunch
counts
right
now
are
higher
than
they
were
pre-pandemic.
AD
So
I
think
it's
a
testimony
to
the
great
meals
that
we
serve
the
great
staff
that
we
have
serving
as
fast
as
they
can
and
we're
able
to
serve
more
meals,
securing
more
Federal
reimbursement,
allowing
us
to
meet
the
demands
of
those
higher
food
costs,
so
menu
staff.
A
lot
of
communication,
I,
always
say,
there's
a
little
magic
in
there
too
and
great
support,
but
it
is
working
very
well
for
us.
We
have
a
fun
balance,
so
we're
not
only
providing
these
exceptional
meals.
AD
H
Yes,
thank
you.
I
had
some
similar
thoughts.
You
know
everybody's
going
to
the
grocery
store
and
kind
of
getting
hit
with
some
higher
prices.
We
know
that
food
costs
are
definitely
going
up,
I'm
glad
to
see
that
the
costs
are
remaining.
The
same.
You
know
three
dollars
is
is
not
a
lot
of
money
for
a
meal,
but
if
you've
got
a
couple
kids
and
they
eat
every
day,
I
mean
it
definitely
adds
up.
So.
J
H
Know
I
know
that
that's
really
important
that
we
try
to
keep
costs
under
control.
My
question
is
with
the
trajectory
that
we're
on
prices
have
not
gone
up
since
I've.
Sat
on
this
board.
Do
you
expect
that
you
will
have
to
raise
those
prices
within
the
next
year
or
so,
or
do
you
think
that
you're
able
to
kind
of
continue
on
the
track
that
you're
on
at
the
price
point
that
you're
on.
AD
I
think
it's
a
great
question,
I
think
the
trajectory
right
now
we're
going
to
be
able
to
do
it
I
think
we're
going
to
be
able
to
do
it
one
more
year
or
more
we're
going
to
keep
on
negotiating
and
having
those
discussions
with
our
vendors
as
well.
So,
for
instance,
if
a
bid
is
out
right
now
for
disposable
paper,
we
had
one
or
two
products
actually
come
down
in
cost.
So,
as
we
saw
prices
go
up
during
the
pandemic.
AD
If
our
bid
goes
out,
we're
seeing
prices
come
back
down
a
little
bit
more
in
alignment
with
what
you
know
where
we
were
prior
to
the
pandemic,
we're
still
buying
all
of
we
buy
all
of
our
own
equipment
Etc.
So
we
really
have
all
of
our
equipment
less
than
10
to
15
years
of
age,
so
that
is
stabilized
I.
Don't
think
you're
going
to
see
us
spending
money
in
our
budget
towards
equipment.
Things
like
that.
AD
So
I
think
looking
into
the
future
right
now,
I
think
we're
going
to
be
good
even
for
another
year,
I
think
we're
going
to
continually
look
at
our
menu
and
streamline
it.
I,
look
at
it
all
the
time
we
look
at
Trends
as
well
right.
There
might
be
a
new
trend,
that's
out
there
in
the
retail
Market
that
we
can.
You
know
somehow
bring
it
back
into
our
menus
and
it
might
be
less
less
costly
than
something
we're
currently
doing
like
a
pot
sticker,
or
you
know
we
had
salmon
in
the
past.
AD
Like
that
was
an
item
we
felt
San.
The
students
deserve
salmon
if
they
like
it,
we're
gonna
put
that
on
the
menu,
so
I
think
you
have
to
be
creative.
You
have
to
communicate
a
lot
and
you
really
have
to
have
a
bid,
that's
solid.
So
when
it
goes
out
on
the
street-
and
we
have
our
you
know,
we
do
all
national
products
having
that
competition
on
the
bid
also
helps
us
secure
a
really
great
price.
I.
AB
Was
going
to
add
yeah
Miss
rissy
just
does
an
amazing
job
in
partnering,
with
Miss
Childs
in
the
purchasing
department
and
and
really
was
able
to
get
the
best
price
for
the
highest
quality
products
in
you
know,
I
think
she's
selling
herself
short
a
little
bit,
but
she
just
runs
such
an
efficient
operation
right
because
sitting
where
you
are
even
sitting
where
I
am
I'm
like
there's
no
way
we
can't
raise
prices.
Given
the
pressures
we
have
around
supply
chain,
giving
labor
market
pressures
right,
we're
gonna,
be
you
know.
AB
We
know
that
the
salary
increases
are
desperately
needed
for
those
Food
Service
workers,
but
that's
a
hit
to
the
Food
Service
fund,
but
through
mrsi's
leadership
through
the
the
efficient
operations
that
she
runs.
The
partnership
she's
developed
both
outside
this
organization
and
the
working
relationship
she
has
inside
this
organization.
I
think
you
know,
is
able
we're
able
to
present
something
to
you
today
that
says,
and
to
our
community,
that
for
the
ninth
straight
Year,
we're
keeping
prices
the
same,
even
with
all
those
inflationary
pressures
that
the
district
is
facing.
So.
H
H
So
they're
very
good,
they're,
very
good,
so
I'm
very
impressed.
I
really
thought
that
you
were
going
to
answer
my
question
a
little
more
Doom
and
Gloom,
but
I'm
unpleasantly
surprised
that
it
seems
like
we're
holding
steady
and
that
you
know
feeding
children
is,
is
such
a
crucial,
crucial,
Endeavor
and
I'm
really
thrilled
that
we're
going
to
be
able
to
do
that
effectively.
Thank.
H
J
J
AD
Yeah
I
think
it
fuels
our
souls
in
food
and
nutrition
services
right
every
time
we're
out
there,
and
you
see
those
students
come
through
and
they're
excited
and
they're
filling
their
plates
with
fruits
and
vegetables
like
overflowing
and
they're
so
excited
about
them.
You
know
we
really
are
cultivating
communities
of
Wellness
one
student
at
a
time
right,
they
go
home
and
they
might
say
to
you:
I
had
cauliflower.
AD
Today
it
was
great
or
I
had
some
more
apple
slices,
so
it
really
I
think
we're
impacting
the
the
whole
Community
with
what
we
do
in
our
schools
nutritionally
and
it
just
spreads
throughout
the
community
and
they're
excited
about
it.
They
eat
more,
so
more
meals
means
more
money
for
us
and
we
get
to
still
maintain
this.
You
know
great
bottom
line,
great
price
for
our
students
and
still
be
able
to
meet
the
demands
of
those
higher
prices.
N
And
you
have
no
disrespect.
I
ran
away
from
the
mac
and
cheese.
I
wasn't
ready
to
try
that
okay,
but
next
year,
I
may
give
it
a
try.
All.
B
All
right,
I
sense,
a
challenge
on
the
Miss
corkito.
M
Just
real
quick
I
wanted
to
thank
you.
You
know
nationally
recognize
two
people
actually
recognized
state
recognized
as
Leaders
sitting
in
front
of
us.
I
am
just
very
proud
and
I.
Think
aacps
is
definitely
benefiting
from
from
the
both
of
your
leadership.
M
I
I
have
been
hearing
more
and
more
about
state
and
federal
grants
being
offered
to
increase
the
fresh
vegetable
and
fruit
offerings
and
availability,
particularly
in
our
food
desert
zones.
Do
we
expect
that
to
how
much
does
that,
if
that
were
to
materialize,
does
that
have
a
significant
impact
or
is
how
we
operate
not
in
that
zone?
Or
is
that
going
to
be
Community?
Schools
I've
heard
some.
M
If
you
could
just
share
a
little
bit
more
about
what
we
may
be
able
to
expect
and
to
miss
Frank's
point
we
have
not
I
am
so
pleased.
The
only
time
we
am
only
aware
of
and
I
could
be
wrong
because
it's
been
like
five
years,
I've
been
sitting
here,
almost
four
and
a
half
that
the
only
time.
The
last
time
we
had
to
raise
it
was
because
of
the
styrofoam
thing.
M
My
recollection
was
that
the
raising
of
the
price
that
I
had
to
do
was
about
a
half
a
million
dollars,
and
that
was
because
we
were
no
longer
allowed
to
use
our
materials
and
we
were
not
allowed
to
use
them
for
the
year
out.
So
we
had
to
add
some
money
into
the
budget
because
we
didn't
have
time
to
negotiate
so
I
think
on
the
meal
side
we've
been
good.
There
was
just
that
one
bump
all
right,
so
I
think
that
we
are
definitely
my
my
son
used
to
be
a
a
customer
of
yours.
K
M
AD
So
in
Anne,
Arundel,
County,
Public
Schools,
since
2007
we've
done
unlimited
fruits
and
vegetables
at
lunch,
so
we
have
salad
bars
in
all
of
our
schools.
Our
students
come
through
and
they
can
take
as
many
as
they
want.
Unfortunately,
we
don't
have
the
poverty
levels
high
enough
to
receive
the
fresh
fruit
and
vegetable
Grant.
That's
through
USDA
about
maybe
about
15
or
20
years
ago.
We
had
about
three
schools
that
were
eligible,
so
unfortunately,
as
a
district,
we're
not
eligible
to
get
that
Grant.
AD
AD
You
know,
maybe
just
even
to
the
Community
Schools
right
now,
there's
no
schools
that
are
really
eligible
to
receive
that
Grant
through
USDA,
we'll
continue
Department
partner
with
Department
of
Health
and
all
of
our
sister
agencies
that
do
any
of
the
even
like
the
pop-up
pantries
or
the
pantry
at
Brooklyn
Park,
the
healthy
Brooklyn
Park
Pantry.
They
still
work
with
our
vendors,
so
we're
kind
of
tied
in
with
wherever
we
see
the
food
deserts.
AD
Wherever
we're
trying
to
really
focus
on
the
fresh
fruits
and
vegetables,
we
talked
earlier
about
the
executive
order
for
the
food
Council
I
sit
on
the
food
Council
for
the
county
executive.
So
that's
another
way
that
we're
we're
constantly
partnering
with
our
sister
agencies
and
other
agencies
to
see
how
can
we
best
promote
fruits
and
vegetables?
You
know
to
not
only
our
students
in
the
school,
but
so
they
can
have
it
and
consume
it
at
home
or
in
the
communities
that
we're
serving.
M
Illogical
as
this
may
sound,
the
area
that's
growing,
the
food
is
in
a
fresh
food
desert,
as
it
relates
to
our
families
and
to
our
students-
and
you
know,
there's
multiple
challenges,
overlaying
that,
but
thank
you
so
much
for
your
work
and
we
did
miss
you
but
understand
that
you
were
so
busy
working
with
our
students
and
they
definitely
always
come
first
I
know
in
your
heart.
So
although
we
missed
you,
we
were
thinking
fondly
of
you
at
the
food
bank
with
all
the
all
the
usual
suspects
were
there.
M
You
know
it's
crazy
because
you
see
some
new
faces,
but
we
need
to
see
more
new
faces
in
these
places.
So
but
you,
your
work
is
always
well
honored.
Thank
you
so
very
much.
Hopefully,
maybe
some
opportunities
will
change,
though,
because
the
more
we
can
partner
and
maybe
and
get
work
on
that
definition
of
of
poverty,
because
it's
kind
of
hard
to
explain
to
an
impoverished
family
that
you
know
their
Community
is
not
povertished
enough.
You
know
and
you're
looking
around
going
really.
AD
You
and
we're
looking
with
that
project
if
I
just
can
add
a
little
to
that
so
partnering
with
our
mobile
meals
in
the
summer,
so
I
know
Dr
Bedell.
You
were
right
within
your
first
week
last
year,
right
out
on
our
mobile
meals
for
summer,
so
we're
also
trying
to
see
we've
done
it
a
few
times
in
the
past,
with
the
Department
of
Health.
M
And
I
I
think
we
tested
some
of
the
sites
that
could
be
most
successful
through
some
of
the
covid
services
that
we
were
providing
as
well
as
the
mobile
meal
units
I.
Think
we've.
You
know
that
has
taught
us
the
how
a
little
bit
you
know
down
in
some
of
our
corridors
down
in
Lothian
and
stuff.
So
it's
good
to
see
that
I'm
looking
forward
to
better
healthier
happier,
families
in
my
community.
Thank
you
so
much.
B
Yes,
thank
you
Ms
racy,
it's
it's!
It's
very
obvious
that,
while
you
sit
atop
a
very
large
organization,
you
do
it
on
behalf
of
each
and
every
child,
and
we
truly
truly
appreciate
that
and
congratulations
on
the
recognition
and
to
you
too
Mr
stansky.
So
thank
you
both
thank
you
very
much,
I
see
no
more
lights,
so
we
need
to
vote
and
we
have
a
motion.
A
second
thank
you,
Miss
home.
Z
B
F
B
AB
Every
year
we
bring
you
a
quarter
transfers
both
at
the
second
quarter
and
fourth
quarter.
This
is
our
standard.
Fourth
quarter
operating
budget
transfer.
This
is
totaling
an
additional
supplemental
of
21.3
million
dollars
on
the
federal
side,
we're
increasing
about
3.5
million.
This
is
all
from
either
additional
grants
or
grants
that
came
in
higher
than
anticipated.
AB
Are
our
annual
grant
funding
same
on
the
state
side,
we
saw
a
small
increase
in
our
non-public
tuition,
reimbursement
Revenue,
which
is
good,
and
then
some
additional
state
grants
as
well
that
we
need
to
recognize
today
to
the
larger
though
Revenue
increase
is
7.9
million
are
local,
and
this
is
again
most
of
this
is
generated
from
higher
interest
rates,
so
the
cash
that
is
in
our
our
bank
accounts
we're.
You
know
one
of
the
few
good
things
about
higher
interest
rates.
AB
Is
we
get
more
money
for
our
the
money
that
is,
that
is
sitting
in
the
bank?
So
that
is
good.
So
we
need
to
recognize
that
Revenue
and
then
haven't
talked
about
this
in
a
while,
but
we
also
are
recognizing
7.7
million
in
fund
balance
in
our
health
care
fund.
Our
claims
starting
in
January,
have
we
have
seen
an
uptick
a
little
bit,
and
so
we
have
a
very
healthy
fund
balance
in
the
health
care
fund,
which
is
good
and
the
usage.
AB
The
projected
usage
of
this
funds
will
still
keep
us
well
within
our
our
fund
balance
limits
where
we
want
to
be
in
the
health
care
fund,
but
I
just
want
the
board
to
have
that
tickler
in
the
back,
your
head,
that
in
fiscal
25
we're
going
to
possibly
have
to
look
at
this
and
possibly
put
some
money
towards
the
health
care
fund,
because
we
are
seeing
inflationary
costs
increase
utilization,
which
is
good.
AB
We
want
our
employees
when
they
need
to
go,
see
the
doctor
to
go,
see
the
doctor,
but
we've
been
able
to
stabilize
this
fund
considerably,
since
we
had
the
issues
seven
years
ago
in
the
fund,
and
so
obviously
we
want
to
keep
it
stable,
which
may
mean
some
in
the
future
some
increased
appropriation
into
that
fund
to
make
sure
we
have
that
stability
there.
AB
But
what's
good
about
having
a
healthy
fund
balance
is
when
you
see
these
upticks,
we
can
it's
there
for
us
to
use,
and
so
we
are
going
to
request
7.7
million
dollars
in
that
to
to
make
sure
all
the
health
care
bills
are
paid
for,
and
so
with
that
all
in
we
have
23
21.3
million
in
additional
resources
and
then
you'll
see
in
the
exhibit
that
we
have
our
where
in
within
the
15
State
categories,
where
those
funds
need
to
go
to
meet
our
obligations.
AB
AB
and
we're
able
to
to
also
meet
the
needs
of
of
the
various
schools
that
have
put
requests
in
in
fourth
quarter.
So
with
that,
I
will
turn
it
back
over
to
you,
Dr
Tobin
and
the
board
and
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have.
B
Thank
you,
I
see
no
lights,
so,
presumably
median
abortion.
