Our
student
member
of
the
board
of
education
debate,
my
name-
is
Michelle
Fidel
and
I
am
cross.
Secretary
of
Education
I
will
be
tonight's
moderator.
It's
super
exciting
to
be
sitting
on
the
Deus,
as
I
usually
give
the
crass
update
at
the
podium,
but
now
I'm
here
tonight
moderating
tonight's
debate.
Before
we
begin
the
debate,
will
everyone
please
stand
and
join
me
in
the
Pledge
of
Allegiance.

is
how

alphabetical

by

Evening
acps,
my
name
is
indu
badala
and
I
am
a
junior
at
Glen
Burnie
High
School
I
am
so
honored
to
be
running
to
be
your
next
student
member
of
the
Board
of
Education
student
leadership
and
advocacy
has
always
been
an
integral
part
of
who
I
am
today
but
10
years
ago.
I
would
have
never
expected
to
be
sitting
in
this
chair
and
speaking
in
front
of
all
of
you.
That
is
because,
10
years
ago,
I
was
a
struggling
esol
student
who
faced
constant
alienation
and
felt
aimless
in
my
educational
journey.
D
I
was
different
and
in
a
society
that
capitalizes
on
directing
hate
and
bigotry
toward
anyone
who
dares
to
be
unique,
it
was
scary
to
be
different,
which
is
a
shame
because
true,
meaningful
change
can
only
be
brought
when
we
embrace
our
differences.
That
is
why,
if
elected
I'll
work,
sure
I
will
work
to
ensure
we
are
elevating
all
students
and
creating
School
communities
that
that
unite
over
and
cherish
our
diversity.
D
Those
will
be
achieved
through
diversifying
our
curriculums
and
teacher
hirings
to
include
more
POC,
lgbtqia
plus
and
women
perspectives
to
ensure
ample
representation
and
inclusion
within
education.
I.
Also
know
that
my
journey
to
where
I
am
now
was
only
possible
because
of
donating
parents
and
loving
teachers
who
are
willing
to
dedicate
their
time
and
energy
into
helping
me
succeed,
a
privilege
that
is
not
extended
to
all
students,
because,
unfortunately,
in
our
society,
your
ZIP
code
does
influence
your
quality
of
education,
and
this
needs
to
change.
D
Education
is
a
fundamental
right
and,
if
elected
I
will
work
tirelessly
to
eliminate
education
barriers
and
ensure
every
student
feels
supported
through
implementing
Equitable
educational
initiatives
in
marginalized
communities,
such
as
collaborating
with
local
libraries
to
implement,
sat
ACT,
prep
homework,
tutoring
and
College
and
Career.
Coaching
I
will
also
advocate
for
Equitable
allocation
of
funds
and
additional
support
systems
to
schools
who
have
historically
Fallen
below
that
achievement.
Gap
and
a
following
Equity
audit
to
ensure
accountability
and
that
these
services
are
actually
efficient.
D
D
If
elected
I
will
prioritize
empowering
you
through
bolstering
Civic
engagement
through
expansion
of
voter
registration
and
testimony
workshops,
furthermore,
I
will
establish
a
small
teen
advisory,
Council
and
quarterly
small
town
halls,
so
students
can
easily
connect
with
me.
However,
student
awards
can
only
flourish
when
students
feel
safe
and
supported
in
their
schools.
As
yours,
mob
I
will
dedicate
my
term
to
enriching
student
life
through
expanding
Mental,
Health
Services
and
introducing
new
innovative
solutions
such
as
collaborating
with
rehab
centers
and
health
clinics
to
address
drug
addiction
and
regressing
student.
E
Good
evening
aacps
students,
my
name
sorry
good
evening,
aacps
students.
It
is
a
pleasure
to
speak
before
you
all
and
I.
Thank
you
for
joining
tonight's
debate.
My
name
is
Eric
Lin
I'm,
a
junior
at
Center,
Park,
High,
School
running
to
be
your
50th
student
member
of
the
board.
My
parents
immigrated
to
the
United
States
when
they
were
19
searching
for
greater
opportunities.
E
They
settled
in
Anne,
Arundel
County,
believing
that
it's
Rich
diversity
and
highly
ranked
schools
will
provide
the
high
quality
educational
experience
for
my
brother
and
me
that
they
had
never
received,
but
for
far
too
long
that
promise
of
a
quality
aacps
education
has
yet
to
reach
all
students
in
our
County.
Despite
being
one
of
the
leading
school
systems
in
the
state.
The
challenges
that
students
in
their
families
face
continue
to
go
unsolved.
E
Furthermore,
I
will
work
to
improve
our
students
Quality
of
Life
by
implementing
new
workload,
relief
policies
and
wellness
initiatives.
I
will
I
will
overhaul
our
outdated
curriculum
and
Implement
Innovative
measures
such
as
offering
free,
SCT
and
ACT
prep
in
expanding
access
to
early
childhood
education
to
enhance
student,
academic
and
social
success
within
our
schools.
I
will
work
on
modeling
neighbor
neighboring
districts
in
out
updating,
outdated
board
policies
that
no
longer
serve
to
benefit
you.
The
students,
such
as
our
dress
code
and
lateness
attendance
policy
for
athletics.
E
You
deserve
a
smob
with
the
leadership
and
advocacy
experience
to
turn
ideas
into
reality.
As
an
officer
of
my
school's
SGA
class
Council
and
County
student
council,
crask
I
have
experience
collaborating
with
others
to
get
things
done
farther
more.
As
the
chair
of
the
financial
literacy
committee
for
the
Anne
Arundel
County
Youth
advisory
Council
I
have
insight
into
how
our
local
government
works
and
what
we
need
to
do
to
fund
our
schools
fully.
E
I
am
also
a
part
of
the
Maryland
Association
of
student
councils,
where
I
have
connected
with
smobs
from
across
the
state.
Through
this
I've
learned
what
it
takes
to
be
successful
in
this
position
and
what
positive
changes
I
can
bring
to
our
County
to
help
us
grow
together.
We
can
bring
real
change
into
our
schools
and
classrooms
to
that
elevate.
All
students.
Thank
you.
F
F
Growing
up,
I
didn't
realize
how
how
significant
that
was
in
Anne,
Arundel
County
until
I
was
11
years
old
and
one
day
was
called
down
to
be
illegally
questioned
about
her
and
how
she
has
been
mistreated
in
our
Anne
Arundel
County
Schools,
and
to
me
that
just
can't
be
that
can't
be
our
normal,
and
that
can't
be
something
that
we
live
with
every
day:
students
being
injured
students
having
broken
legs,
students
not
being
safe
at
their
schools
because
of
something
they
can't
control.
That's
why?
F
If
elected
my
biggest
thing
that
I
will
work
on
in
my
Prime
Focus
will
be
building
a
sense
of
belonging
for
each
student.
Each
student
has
that
deserves
to
feel
safe
and
like
they
are
welcome
and
like
their
school,
cares
about
them
as
they
walk
into
their
building
through
the
doors
of
their
school
every
day.
F
That's
why
I
will
work
with
the
individual
schools
to
cater
to
their
specific
needs,
because,
as
a
member
I
went
to
Annapolis
Elementary
School,
which
was
a
very
small
school,
but
it
was
title
one,
so
that
meant
we
had
to
cater
to
a
very
different
need
of
students,
because,
as
Indo
and
Eric
both
said,
our
ZIP
code
does
in
fact
affect
what
we
what
we
get
and
what
resources
we
are
provided
with.
That's
why
I
will
make
sure
that
we
have
more
unified
programs
across
the
count
across
the
county,
because
I
believe
that
is.
F
It
is
very
important
that
all
students
get
a
sense
of
that
sense
of
belonging
and
that
opportunity
to
feel
involved,
even
if
they're,
not
necessarily
the
best
soccer
player
or
the
richest
soccer
player
and
again
Furthermore
with
that.
I
will
also
work
to
increase
diversity
and
inclusion
in
all
of
our
programs
by
instituting
intramural
teams
and
intramural
clubs
for
all
students
during
their
Panther
during
their
lunch
blocks.
F
B
Thank
you
Taryn
and
thank
you
candidates.
Now
we
will
begin
with
the
questions.
First
question:
we'll
start
with
indu.
This
question
has
been
inspired
by
the
submission
from
Sophia
from
Severna
Park
High
School
share
a
few
of
your
greatest
character
traits
that
you
think
would
make
you
an
effective,
smob
and
capable
of
representing
the
students
of
aacps.
D
D
You
know
that
sometimes
all
your
policies,
all
of
your
goals,
initiatives
will
not
always
pass
through,
but
the
important
thing
about
a
leader
is
that
you
don't
fall
down
and
just
give
up
as
soon
as
your
policies
don't
work,
you
want
to
keep
trying
and
keep
fighting
for
your
constituents
and
fellow
student
leaders,
and
that
has
always
been
an
integral
component
and
role
for
me.
Additionally,
I
would
say
my
experience
as
a
student
commissioner
on
The
Joint
Commission
on
the
opportunity.
Gap
I
have
worked
for
years
on
making
sure
that
we
are
addressing
educational
inequities.
D
E
So,
first
and
foremost
my
dedication
to
you,
the
students,
so
as
if
elected
as
student
member
of
the
board
I
will
work
tirelessly
to
work
with
you
to
implement
policies
that
you
want
to
see
in
our
school
system.
B
F
You
Taryn,
so
thank
you
Sophia
for
that.
A
wonderful
question
I
think
the
first
trait
that
I
offer
is
my
discipline
and
I
run
cross
country
and
track
and
I
will
say:
that's
those
are
two
of
the
most
grueling
Sports
I've
ever
run,
because
all
you
have
to
do
is
go
out
there
and
run
on
your
own,
so
that
has
taught
me
a
lot
of
discipline
and
working
hard
towards
you
guys.
The
other
thing
is
my
initiative.
F
F
Did
that
because
I
spoke
up
and
said,
I
want
to
speak
and
I
feel
like
that
students
I
feel
that
students,
a
student
voice
should
be
heard
so
I
think
these
these
two
traits,
as
well
as
paired
with
the
fact
that
my
time
management
is
pretty
good
I'd,
say
considering
I'm
a
student
in
the
IB
Program,
which
is
pretty,
which
is
rather
rigorous,
I,
think
all
put
together.
This
makes
me
someone
who
will
stand
up
for
what
you
what
you
believe
in
and
stand
up
for,
you
guys
and
work
tirelessly
tirelessly
for
it.
E
Sure
so,
originally
at
the
beginning
of
this
year,
I
wasn't
sure
if
I
wanted
to
run
for
this
position
or
not
just
because
you
know
this
was
my
first
year
getting
involved
in
student
government
and
the
county
level.
The
state
level
so
I
wasn't
sure
if
I
went
into
the
run
for
this
position.
But
you
know
after
having
the
opportunity
to
speak
with,
you
know
many
current
smobs
from
across
the
state
and
just
learning
how
awesome
you
know
some
of
their
policies
are
and
seeing
that
you
know
we
don't
have.
F
So,
for
me
personally,
I
think
that
when
I
was
a
freshman
in
Anne,
Arundel,
County
I
was
reintroduced
into
this
into
the
internal
County
system,
after
not
being
in
it
for
middle
school
during
covid
during
a
pandemic
during
virtual
school
and
for
me,
I
logged
on
to
that
first
day
and
saw
a
wall
of
icons
of
names.
I
had
no
idea
who
they
were
and
I
didn't.
F
I
knew
maybe
three
people
at
my
entire
High
School
of
2
200
students
and
to
me
that
just
and
I
just
felt,
like
all
virtual
learning,
I
wasn't
connecting
with
students
and
the
county
and
the
school,
and
just
the
system
didn't
feel
like
they
were
listening
to
me
and
what
I
needed
at
that
time,
which
was
a
way
to
connect.
So
that's
why,
after
that,
my
mom
told
me
one
day
she
was
like
look,
you
can
run
for
Student
member
of
the
board
and
I
was
like.
F
D
That
has
faced
so
many
barriers
within
education
and
we
as
a
school
community
and
I
know
a
lot
of
schools
in
the
northern
part
of
County
feel
that
we
are
not
represented
at
the
Board
of
Education.
We
are
constantly
being
faced
with
inadequate
policies
and
talking
to
my
peers
and
seeing
the
issues
really
motivated
to
be
a
representative
for
those
students,
those
students
who
don't
have
a
voice.
D
B
F
Well,
as
I
think
that
we
should
all
take
into
account
is
aacps
is
a
very
diverse
County,
so
I
think
making
sure
that
I'm,
representing
all
students
as
best
as
possible
and
not
favoring
one
group
over
the
other,
could
be
a
very
potential
issue
I'm
facing,
because
at
the
end
of
the
day,
I
will
be
representing
the
students.
But
sometimes
what
may
benefit
I
don't
know.
F
One
student
may
hurt
another,
so
I
think
to
overcome
that
my
plan
is
to
make
sure
that
I
reach
out
to
both
party
any
party
that
this
could
affect
and
reach
out
to
individual
schools.
So
that
way,
I
can
talk
to
a
wide
range
of
students
from
across
the
county
to
make
sure
we
have
lots
of
students,
no
matter
their
socioeconomic
status,
ethnicity,
language
or
anything
to
make
sure
that
they
feel
like
that.
F
D
But
the
best
way
to
resolve
this
is
making
sure
that
I
am
a
parent
and
involved
in
the
community.
This
means
going
out
to
individual
school
districts
meeting
with
those
communities
meeting
with
those
parents,
families
and
students
having
similar
to
how
Dr
Bedell
had
those
listening
and
learning
tours
having
implementing
similar
initiatives.
So
I
can
better
understand
my
constituents,
my
students
and
making
sure
that
I
am
representing
and
taking
their
views
to
the
Board
of
Education
Eric.
B
E
One
of
the
most
important
things
for
me
is
that
I
believe
that
students
should
be
aware
of
what's
going
on
at
the
board
and
that
student
should,
you
know,
have
a
say
in
those
decisions
that
are
impacting
their
education,
but
the
challenge
comes.
How
do
we
reach
out
to
all
of
our
students?
E
Luckily
I'm
the
Secretary
of
Communication
for
crafts,
so
I
have
plenty
of
experience
reaching
out
to
students,
so
there's
three
things:
I
want
to
do
to
tackle
this
challenge
of
making
sure
that
every
student
feels
represented
so
first
and
foremost,
I'd
like
to
go
out
and
visit
schools,
especially
during
their
lunch
periods,
visiting
schools
chatting
with
students
getting
to
know
what
the
what's
going
on
at
their
schools.
If
there's
any,
you
know
issues
that
they
want
me
to
look
into
for
them.
E
Secondly-
and
this
is
something
that
I've
mentioned
at
every
school
I've
visited-
is
creating
a
student
ambassador
program
at
every
school
that
meets
with
their
Administration
on
a
monthly
basis
to
talk
about
what's
going
on
in
their
schools,
you
know,
if
there's
any
issues
that
need
to
be
solved,
but
also
these
students
would
be
a
part
of
the
smob
advisory
Council
so
that
they
can
bring
information
from
the
board
directly
back
to
the
students
of
their
schools.
Thank
you.
B
D
County,
thank
you.
Michelle
I
think
this
is
kind
of
similar
to
the
Past
question,
but
definitely
making
those
School
visitations
being
within
your
school
communities
and
having
initiatives
similar
to
the
listening
and
learning
tours
as
Dr
Bedell
said.
I
kind
of
mentioned
this
previously,
but
the
best
way
you
can
serve
your
community
is
understanding
your
community
so
being
in
those
schools
being
in
those
neighborhoods
and
communities,
because
we
know
across
the
county
each
School
each
Community
has
a
variety
of
issues
are
impacting
them
so
better
understanding
those
issues.
D
Additionally,
having
like
a
small
advisory
Council
I
mentioned
I
won
Middle
School
and
High
School
perspectives
across
the
board,
so
having
two
to
three
representatives
from
each
school
who
will
meet
with
me
and
convey
their
concerns
and
things
that
they'll
see
in
their
school,
because
at
the
end
of
the
day,
whoever,
like
the
student
member,
is
only
one
person
and
every
day
we're
not
going
to
be
in
every
single
school,
so
making
sure
that
we're
getting
easy
flow
of
information.
That's
also
maintaining
a
strong
social
media
presence.
Kids
are
always
on
social
media.
D
B
E
So
one
of
the
things
I
mentioned
earlier
was
my
student
ambassador
program
and
the
inspiration
for
this
idea
was
that
I
had
seen
that
some
schools
had
a
program
where
you
know
they
had
a
bunch
of
Representatives
at
their
school.
You
know
that
would
meet
with
Administration
and,
like
I
said,
talk
about
issues
going
on
in
their
schools.
E
You
know
20
to
25
people
from
each
school
coming
to
these
smob
advisory
meetings
are
attending
these
meetings
so
that
they
are
able
to
provide
input
into
what
is
going
on
at
their
schools,
and
so
we
can
find
Creative
Solutions
to
help
resolve
those
issues
and
then
also,
like
I,
said
earlier,
bringing
information
from
the
board
directly
back
to
the
students
of
their
school.
E
And
additionally,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
school
visits
being
a
senior
that
has
a
half
day
schedule
I'll
actually
be
able
to
visit
schools
during
their
lunch
periods
and
talk
to
as
many
students
as
possible.
Thank
you.
B
F
So
School,
visitations
I
think
that
making
sure
all
students
feel
like
I'm
actually
coming
to
them
in
person
because
there's
something
to
be
said
for
in
person
and
I
learned
that
during
covid,
if
I
having
a
someone
could
talk
to
me
in
person,
is
much
more
engaging
than
over
a
zoom
meeting
or
Google
meet
so
I
think
making
sure
we
have
either
me
or
a
student
ambassador
or
someone
there
reaching
out
in
person
and
saying
hey
what
do
you?
What
are
you
concerned
about?
What
would
you
like
us
to
try
and
work
on?
F
Additionally,
social
media
I
think
keeping
an
open
email
and
an
open
Google
form
of
some
sort
that
all
students
can
constantly
access
with
any
questions
or
concerns.
So
that
way
we
can
also
do
it
digitally
and
constantly
pushing
that
out,
like
I
said
through
Administration
and
sgas,
which
are
great
ways
to
make
sure
all
students
are
hearing
what
needs
to
be
heard.
Thank
you.
B
Moving
on
to
the
next
question,
which
will
start
with
Eric.
In
what
circumstances
have
you
had
experience
with
diverse
groups
of
students
and
how
has
it
affected
your
views?
How
will
you
go
about
representing
the
interests
of
those
Anne
Arundel
County
Citizens,
whose
backgrounds
and
perspectives
differ
from
your
own.
E
So
I
serve
on
the
Anne
Arundel
County
Youth
advisory
Council,
so
I
work,
you
know
with
County
Executive
Pittman
and
also
his
staff
to
give
input
into
our
County's
operations
and
what
we're
doing
what
we
could
be
doing
better,
and
these
are
students.
Young
student
leaders,
just
like
myself
from
across
the
county
from
Crofton
Northern
to
Southern
eastern
western,
so
I
definitely
have
that
experience
working
with
students
from
you
know
different
backgrounds.
My
plan
really
is
like
I
said.
E
My
plan
really
is
making
sure
that
students
feel
that
they
can
always
reach
out
to
me,
I've
mentioned
at
every
single
one
of
my
school
visits
that
my
DMs
are
always
open
for
students
who
may
not
feel
comfortable
asking
a
question
in
front
of
a
group.
E
I
definitely
am
one
of
those
people
where,
if
you
reach
out
to
me
with
a
question,
I
will
be
happy
to
answer
it
so
making
sure
students
feel
that
they
can
reach
out
to
me
with
their
issues
and
that
I
will
be
there
to
listen
and
solve
their
problems.
Thank
you.
F
So
I
was
there
working
with
students
of
all
ability
levels
which
base
and
from
that
experience,
I've
learned
the
importance
of
having
multiple
ways
of
communicating
things
and
multiple
ways
to
get
information
across
that
way.
All
students,
however,
they
may
receive,
receive
or
learn
differently
and
or,
however,
they
may
want
to
approach
differently.
I'm
very
well
experienced
in
that.
D
Indu
I
previously
mentioned
I
am
a
junior
at
Glen
Burnie
High,
School,
Glen
Marie
High
School
is
well
known
for
being
incredibly
diverse.
With
we
have
immigrant
students,
we
have
students
who
you
know
their
first
language
is
in
English.
We
have
students
from
low-income
families,
students
who
have
disabilities,
and
we
know
I've,
as
a
student
at
this
school
I've,
seen
firsthand
that
how
marginalized
our
school
can
be,
how
we
do
not
have
access
to
Equitable
resources.
Furthermore,
I
serve
on
the
Joint
Commission
on
the
opportunity.
D
B
F
So
I
think
the
best
way
to
build
consensus
is
ensure
that
we
hear
all
different
differing
perspectives
and
viewpoints
and
I'm
a
member
of
the
IB
diploma
program,
which
basically
means
any
single
time
anytime.
I
have
a
test
in
a
class.
It's
a
paper,
and
they
tell
you
to
write.
Give
me
an
argument
and
a
counter
argument
for
this,
whether
it's
about
a
book
or
even
a
math
problem,
I've
done
it
sometimes
so,
just
with
that
I've
had
to
learn
how
to
how
to
recognize
and
anticipate
differing
perspectives.
F
D
Okay,
similar
to
what
Taran
said,
perspectives
are
important,
but
also
we
have
to
understand
and
like
I
have
especially
have
understood
this
during
my
term
on
crask
and
also
the
Joint
Commission.
Your
way
is
not
always
a
highway,
so
it's
the
idea
that
we
are
getting
different
perspectives
that
we're
reaching
out
to
your
students.
We
are
reaching
out
to
you're
working
with
collaboratively
with
your
board
members
and
reaching
a
compromise
where
all
parties
are
happy
that
we're
still
addressing
student
needs.
D
It's
so
important
that
we
go
out
and
we
talk
to
students,
we
ask
them
their
views
on
different
policies,
and
how
will
you
know
how
will
it
impact
those
School
communities
and
taking
those
viewpoints
and
creating
something,
a
policy
or
initiative
that
appeases
everyone
and
that's
involved,
because
it's
not
always
going
to
be
one
school?
It's
not
always
going
to
be
one
Community.
It's
going
to
be
everyone
in
the
county,
Eric.
E
So,
as
a
student
member
of
the
board,
it's
important
for
me
to
make
decisions
that
benefit
the
students,
and
so
sometimes
the
reality
is
that
some
there
can
be
ideas
at
times
of
mind
that
maybe
there
are.
There
are
ways
to
improve
upon
those
ideas.
So
what
I
plan
on
doing
to
make
sure
that
we're
building
consensus
is
collaboration
and
compromise
so
making
sure
that,
rather
than
just
you
know,
like
Andrew
said,
you
know
thinking
that
my
ideas
are
the
best
or
the
only
ideas
that
can
be
out
there.
E
Listening
to
other
board
members,
maintaining
active,
listening
and
listening
to
other
perspectives
and
really
making
sure
that
the
decisions
that
we're
making
are
solely
to
benefit
students.
Additionally,
building
strong
relationships
with
board
members
is
something
that's
going
to
be
important
to
me.
As
a
student
I
recognize
that
you
know
automatically
come
in,
it
might
be.
E
You
know
I
I,
it's
as
a
student
coming
in
it
might
I
might
be
seen
as
a
little
lesser,
but
you
know
really
building
strong
relationships
and
connections
with
board
members
to
show
them
that
I
am
here
just
like
them
to
you
know,
help
students
and
to
improve
our
school
system
so
that
my
voice
can
be
seen
as
equal.
B
D
You
Michelle
it's
important
that
we
talk
about
mental
health.
It
is
integral
component
of
all
student
life
and
the
best
way
to
address
this
is
having
courageous
conversations.
So,
throughout
my
platform,
I've
always
advocated
that
we
have
Community
forums
where
we're
meeting
with
school
system
staff,
teachers,
parents
and
talking
about
the
importance
of
mental
health
and
how
we
need
to
practice
and
expand
our
Mental
Health
Resources.
So
it's
having
these
courageous
conversations,
it's
also
expanding
resources.
Animal
county
has
one
of
the
most
outrageous
student
to
counselor
ratio
in
this
country.
D
It's
important
that
we're
expanding
these
positions,
but
also
implementing
a
you,
know,
School
youth
program
or
work
program
that
makes
sure
that
more
students
are
excited
about
going
into
a
possible
mental
health
career.
It's
also
making
sure
that
we're
working
with
schools
and
having
these
opportunities,
transparent,
accessible
and
having
programs
that
will
help
students
easily
be
able
to
access
these
resources.
E
Secondly,
it's
also
important
to
me
that
we're
maintaining
proactivity
so
rather
than
you
know
just
trying
to
solve
this
crisis.
What
can
we
do
to
you
know
prevent
this
crisis
from
happening
in
the
first
place,
so
wine,
as
indu,
mentioned
reducing
our
counselor
to
student
ratio
to
make
sure
that
students
can
meet
with
their
counselors
on
a
quarterly
basis
and
establish
relationships,
so
they
feel
comfortable
talking
to
each
other.
E
Second,
workload,
relief
policies
that
I
have
in
my
platform,
such
as
making
sure
that
students
can't
be
assigned
work
over
school
system
breaks,
really
just
making
sure
that
you
know
our
students
are
getting
the
time
to
relax
and
get
themselves
together
time.
B
F
So
I
think
instituting
a
lot
of
programs
is
obviously
something
that
we
do
need
to
do,
but
a
lot
of
the
time
students
don't
feel
comfortable
going
to
teachers.
With
these
concerns,
and
as
someone
who
struggled
with
anxiety
in
the
past,
I
will
say,
I
don't
always
feel
comfortable
going
to
my
counselor
with
an
issue
and
because
I
only
see
my
counselor,
maybe
like
three
times
a
year,
so
I
think
maybe
something
like
quarterly
check-ins
are
great.
F
Is
it
a
great
idea
but
I
think,
furthermore,
instituting
opportunities
where
teachers
or
advisors
or
counselors
approach
the
students
themselves
is
a
great
way
to
do
this?
By
giving
every
single
teacher
a
mental
health,
Mental
Health
Training,
because
a
lot
of
the
time
students
will
connect
with
a
certain
teacher,
they
have
over
a
counselor.
F
They
see
once
a
year,
for
course,
selection,
so
I
think
making
sure
that
all
teachers
are
trained
in
mental
health
and
how
to
deal
with
student
mental
health
and
also
making
sure
that
each
advisor
during
their
during
their
Wellness
blocks,
checks
in
with
their
students
is
a
great
way
to
make
sure
that
each
student
is
being
heard.
All
the
time.
B
Thank
you.
Any
rebuttals
I
do
want
to
add
quick
update,
we're
going.
D
To
start
with,
Indo,
okay
I
do
want
to
add
on
that.
We
shouldn't
only
be
focusing
on
increasing
counselors,
but
also
more
Mental
Health
Specialists,
because
we
know
that
counselors
are
already
overwhelmed
with
workload
and
core
scheduling,
so
it's
important
that
we're
employing
people
like
social
workers,
psychologists,
more
individuals
who
have
more
of
an
expansive
knowledge
about
different
mental
health
policies.
E
Up
Eric
I
agree
with
indu
and
also
I
do
like
the
idea
of
having
our
teachers
be
involved
in
that,
but
I
feel
like
we
are
already
putting
so
much
pressure
onto
our
teachers.
That
I
think
it's
important
that
we
realize
that
you
know
training.
You
know
to
be
mental
health
professionals.
We
should
be
leaving
that
to
professionals
that
are
dedicated
to
you
know
mental
health
and
for
students,
which
is
why
the
free
psycho
access
to
psychologists
and
therapists
is
something
that
I'm
really
pushing
for.
F
Taryn
I
think
that
obviously
I
think
that
again
instituting
more
psychologists
and
teacher
and
counselors
or
whatever
it
may
be,
for
students
it's
a
great
idea,
but
against
a
lot
of
the
times,
students
don't
feel
comfortable
approaching
these
people
and
that's
why
I
think
we
also
need
to
have
it
on
someone.
They
see
every
day
like
a
cat
like
a
teacher
or
a
counselor
or
I,
think,
just
at
the
end
of
the
day,
making
sure
that
each
student
has
someone
at
their
school.
D
Sorry
one
second
regarding
Eric
I
know
you
mentioned
that
you
were
talking
about
having
expanding
these
services
and
I.
Try,
making
psychologists
free
right,
but
I
just
wanted
you
to,
like
you,
know
kind
of
inform
everyone
that
psychologists
are
already
available
and
present
in
your
school.
So
this
would
always
already
be
a
free
service
because
it's
going
to
be
within
your
schools.
E
Great
point
and
do
so
the
problem
with
that
is
that
our
school
psychologists
there's
only
one
at
every
school
and
some
of
them.
You
know
work
at
multiple
schools,
so
it's
really
hard
to
have
access
to
them
when
they're
only
at
our
schools
for
certain
days
of
the
week-
or
you
know
only
at
ours
and
there's
one
of
them
and
like
a
thousand
two
thousand,
almost
three
thousand
students
at
some
schools.
E
So
it's
important
to
recognize
that
following
counties
that
have
out
contracted
out
Services
so
that
students
can
access
those
services
online,
24
7
for
free,
it's
really
important
to
me
because
you
know
students
should
be
able
to
have
access
at
any
time
time.
E
A
E
Okay,
because
Wally
you
know
he's
this
one
person
trying
to
you
know
really
bring
back
our
you
know
he's
fighting
for
environmental
justice
right
he's,
trying
to
bring
back
the
Earth
and
everything
he's
fighting
for
that.
While
everybody
else
is,
you
know,
doesn't
believe
in
what
he's
saying
and
I
feel
like.
That's
sometimes
me
I
feel
like
I.
Am
you
know
advocating
for
something
that
I
think
is
important?
And
but
you
know
there
are
just
people.
This
is
the
other
people.
You
know,
don't
see
that
same
thing.
E
So
really
as
a
student
member
of
the
board,
you
know
recognizing
that
and
still
continuing
to
push
for
what
students
believe
in
and
what
students
want
to
see
in
our
school
district.
F
Taryn
so
over
I'm
quarantined
that
summer
of
2020
I
think
I
watched
Frozen
one
and
Frozen
two
about
600
times
my
younger
sister
loved
it
so,
but
over
that
I
used
to
be
able
to
quote
the
movie,
but
the
character.
I
always
loved
was
Anna
because
she
was
super
outgoing.
She
loved
talking
to
people,
but
she
also
like
was
kind
of
Tenacious
and
never
took
no
for
an
answer
like
her
sister
literally
like
built
a
castle
to
get
away
from
her
and
she
still
went
after
her.
So
it's
just
kind
of
that.
F
It's
like
to
me
I've,
always
kind
of
very
much
empathized
with
because
to
me
I've,
never
taken
no
for
an
answer,
I
mean
you
can
shut
the
door
on
me,
but
I'm
still
gonna.
Stick
my
foot
in
and
I
think
just
over
I
also
just
I
mean
she's.
Also
she's
super
fun
she's,
a
good
singer
which
I'm
not
but
she's,
also
a
hopeless
romantic,
which
is
another
thing
I
can
relate
to
so
I.
Think
just
I.
Just
I,
don't
know
honest.
D
Indu,
you
say
any
animator
right,
okay,
so
I
would
say
Joy
from
inside
out,
because
I
am
someone
who,
if
you
know
me,
you
know,
I
love
talking
I
am
I
would
like
to
consider
myself
as
a
positive
person
who
loves
just
sharing
positivity,
and
that
is
one
of
my
biggest
goals
as
your
student
member
is
making
sure
that
we
as
a
county
are
embracing
Wellness,
that
we
are
spreading
more
positivity
kindness
and
that
we're
embracing
each
other
as
a
community
that
we're
trying
to
limit
divisiveness,
and
that
is
really
what
Joy
was
doing.
D
B
F
So
I
think
that
student
member
of
the
board
and
crafts
go
hand
in
hand
oftentimes,
because
krask
is
something
that
where
student
leaders
go
to
and
then
and
then
after
that
you
know,
those
will
be
the
ones
that
probably
contact
this
mob
the
most
and
are
keeping
up
to
date
with
what's
happening
at
this
mom
with
this,
which
is
what,
with
what
is
happening
at
the
board,
the
most
most
of
the
time,
so
I
think
making
sure
that
I
am
I'm
continuously
talking
to
them,
because
I
know
they're
the
ones
who
are
probably
also
working
on
policies
and
stuff
in
reaction
to
whatever
I'm
passing
and
whatever
I'm
advocating
for
so
making
sure
that
I'm
helping
them
and
giving
them
a
slightly
easier
job
than
the
really
hard
job
that
they
have
to
make
sure
that
they
are
being
to
make
sure
that
I'm
passing
policies
that
they
can
Implement
very
well.
F
B
D
Well,
as
someone
who
hasn't
been
involved
in
Cross
for
the
last
three
years,
I
know
a
fact
that
they
are
the
epitome
of
student
voice
and
student
leadership
and
unfortunately,
in
the
last
few
years
we
haven't
really
been
able
to
have
a
close
relationship
with
our
smobs
and,
if
elected
I
want
to
prioritize
that,
because
if
we
attend
small
town
halls,
you
see
these
sessions
where
students
are
able
to
express
their
concerns
and
every
meeting
we
always
have
a
plethora
of
concerns
and
issues
that
students
bring
up.
That
often
go
unheard.
D
So
it's
a
wonderful
opportunity
to
hear
those
voices
and
collaborate
with
crafts
and
students
to
make
sure
that
we
are
bringing
Progressive
policies
and
krask
isn't
the
only
student
body
out
there.
We
also
have
school
Seas.
We
also
have
Team
groups
like
teen
advisories
and
so
many
different
student-based
groups.
Let's
talk
Justice
I
love
them
the
leadership
team
for
service,
so
working
with
all
of
these
groups
and
making
sure
that
they're
included
in
the
policy
decision
making
process
Eric.
B
E
So
I've
only
been
a
part
of
class
for
one
year,
but
I
love.
It
I
think
that
it's
a
great
organization,
I
love
all
the
people
that
are
in
crask,
and
so
definitely
one
of
the
things
that
I
plan
on
doing
to
collaborate
with
them
is
not
only
attending
meetings
but
also
sharing
opportunities
for
our
craft.
You
know
exact
team
members,
our
crafts,
you
know
just
people
who
are
attending
meetings.
One
of
the
most
important
things
to
me
is
testimony.
E
So
when
it
comes
to
that,
you
know,
if
there's
something
that's
coming
up,
you
know
a
board
policy.
That's
coming
up
that
could
use
the
student
voice
I'm,
sharing
that
opportunity
with
our
craft
teams,
because
often
those
are
the
students
who
you
know
they're
very
involved
with
their
schools.
They
have
the
best.
They
have
great
input,
so
get
sharing
testimony
opportunities
with
our
craft
team
working
with
them
so
that
they
can
testify
to
to
get
past
what
they
want.
The
students
want
to
see
in
our
school
system
bottle.
B
Okay,
we
can
start
with
Taryn
with
rebuttals.
F
So
I
think
that
and
do
what
you
said,
that
crask
is
the
epitome
of
student
leadership,
I,
think
that
is
true,
but
to
an
extent
because
I
think
a
lot
of
times,
especially
since
covid
and
things
have
gone
virtual.
Different
schools
are
not
con.
Different
schools
aren't
getting
as
involved.
F
I
know:
Annapolis
High
School
we're
not
very
involved
in
Grass,
because
we've
been
dealing
with
so
many
of
our
own
issues
that
are
still
very
important
and
are
county-wide,
but
we've
been
kind
of
putting
out
our
own
Fires
at
Annapolis
and
trying
to
make
sure
we're
getting
back
to
where
we
were
before
covet.
So
I
think
that
I'm
making
sure
we're
listening
to
crafts,
yes,
but
I
think
also
recognizing
there
are
other
times
any
other
rebuttals.
D
Yeah
well,
I
definitely
agree
with
you
Taryn
and
that's
why
I
said
that
prioritizing
other
school
sgas,
making
School
visitation
and
working
with
other
student
groups
and
when
I
said
kraska's
epitome
of
student
leadership
I
meant
that
their
dedication
to
the
student
voice,
we
actively
provide
board
testimonies.
We
actively
work
with
the
Maryland
general
assembly
and
work
to
collect
as
many
as
perspectives
as
possible.
So
that's
what
I
meant
when
I
said
epitome.
B
D
Thank
you,
I
guess.
One
big
component
is
again
advertising
these
opportunities,
making
sure
that
more
students
are
aware
of
masc
and
that
together
we
are
bringing
the
annual
County
perspective
to
masc
meetings.
It's
also
making
sure
I'm
consecut.
You
know
consistently
attending
these
meetings
and
looking
at
State
policies
again
with
like
past
experiences,
I
worked
on
the
state
level,
I've
seen
the
policy
making
process
and
making
sure
annual
counties
is
more
involved
in
our
ability
to
roll
out
the
blueprint,
which
is
the
msde
plan
for
future
education.
D
E
This
year,
getting
involved
with
masc
as
a
workshop
presenter
and
the
event
coordinator
for
the
division,
four
committee
I've
been
able
to
experience
how
great
of
an
organization
Mast
is
and
all
the
power
that
all
the
great
things
that
it
does
in
terms
of
testifying
in
front
of
the
Maryland
general
assembly.
So
what
I
would
do
so?
One
of
the
things
that
I
want
to
advocate
for
is
free
lunches
following
other
states
that
have
already
passed
legislation
to
get
free
lunches
and
breakfast
into
all
of
our
schools.
E
So
what
I
would
like
to
do
is
work
with
the
masc
special
issues
Department,
because
this
there
has
been
bills
in
the
past
that
you
know
have
supported
free
lunches
and
breakfast
for
students
in
Maryland,
but
they
really
haven't
gone
anywhere
so
working
with
the
special
issues
department
to
get
a
bunch
of
students
together
and
testify
in
the
Maryland
general
assembly
that
we,
as
students,
support
the
right
to
a
nutritious
and
free
of
charge.
Breakfast
and
lunch.
F
The
fact
that
students
can't
get
access
to
the
calculators
and
things
like
that,
which
is
a
state
issue.
So
something
like
that
I
would
love
to
work
with
mask
on
instituting
that
Statewide
by
working
with
other
smobs
to
make
sure
that
we're
doing
it
at
a
county
level
or
state
level
whatever
we
need
to
do
to
get
it
to
get
it
done.
D
I
do
have
one
of
bottles,
I
love
your
point
on
the
calculators,
but
I
do
kind
of
want
to
say
that
is
college
board
policy,
so
college
board
proactively
says
that
if,
unfortunately,
if
you
do
not
have
a
calculator
that
day,
you're
not
allowed
like
your
school
can't
give
you
one.
So
that
is
like
one
thing
that
it's
not
our
school
or
our
state.
That's
able
to
control,
but
rather
a
completely
separate
Corporation
Taryn.
F
Well,
I
think
what
I'm
saying
with
that
is.
You
know
giving
students,
you
know
five
bucks
to
go,
buy
a
calculator
or
selling
calculators
for
them
before
the
AP
before
these
tests,
so
that
way,
they're
giving
the
students
the
money
to
buy
these
calculators
or
going
out
because
a
lot
of
the
times
it
is
hard
for.
F
Yes,
college
board
says
that
but
I
think
providing
the
funding
for
that
and
saying:
hey,
look:
here's
calculators,
we're
selling
for
three
bucks,
five
bucks
for
you
to
be
able
to
do
well
on
your
standardized
testing
is
a
great
opportunity
and
giving
them
the
money
to
do.
That
is
a
great
way
for
students
to
feel
more
and
to
feel
like
they
are
at
an
equal
level.
E
E
So
one
of
the
things
I
think
that
I've
advocated
for
was
you
know
having
a
more
you
know,
student,
you
know
fun
spirit
days
with
our
Administration,
so
working
with
groups
of
adults
to
get
stuff
that
students
want
passed
at
the
school
level
so
stuff,
like
anything
but
backpack
day
at
our
school
hats
versus
hoods
all
that
kind
of
good
stuff.
E
F
As
as
I
previously
said,
Annapolis
we've
been
doing
a
lot
of
issues
at
our
school
like
just
because
we're
coming
out
of
Cove.
It
was
kind
of
weird
getting
back
into
it
for
us
at
our
school
specifically
so
I
know,
one
big
thing
that
students
have
always
been
kind
of
upset
about
is
we've
only
is
we
didn't
have
a
dance.
F
Last
year,
my
sophomore
year,
so
2021
2022
school
year,
we
didn't
have
a
school
dance
at
all,
because
they
were
worried
about
coverage
restrictions,
while
other
schools
were
able
to
have
one.
So
what
I
planned?
All
of
that
all
my
sophomore
year
after
getting
that
no
is
I
work
towards
to
make
sure
that
we
were
able
to
have
a
dance
this
school
year
and
we
actually
have
been
able
to
have
two
successful
dances,
a
homecoming
dance
and
also
a
unified
celebration,
dance
to
celebrate
us
being
a
top
five
unified
Champion
School
in
the
nation.
F
D
So
this
year,
Dr
Bedell
posed
this
amazing
Progressive
or
not
Progressive
policy
or
Progressive
budget
for
our
next
fiscal
year
2024
and
they
included
initiatives
such
as
expanding
more
opportunities
for
students
who
are
marginalized
or
low
socioeconomic
status,
included.
Expanding
teacher
hirings
include
more
diverse
teachers
and
also
expanding.
D
You
know
teacher
wages,
and
we
were
concerned
that
this
might
be
something
that
would
get
held
up
at
the
board
of
education,
so
working
with
the
Joint
Commission
I
formatted
or
I
developed
several
testimonies
in
support
of
this
budget
to
make
sure
that
students
are
getting
students
and
teachers
are
getting
these
much
needed
resources
and
currently
I'm
working
on
more
testimonies
for
our
County
County,
Council
and
County
Executive.
To
make
sure
this
will
go
all
the
way
through.
B
F
Well
so,
as
I
said
previously,
my
younger
sister
has
severe
special
needs
and
I
feel
like
she's.
A
lot
of
students
in
this
County
are
being
underserved
because
of
because
they're
like
whether
it
be
IEPs,
504s
or
being
in
self-contained
classrooms,
which
is
a
classroom
where
only
students
with
IEPs
would
be
in
that
classroom.
So
I
think
allocating
more
money
to
these
programs
and
making
sure,
because
we've
seen
a
significant
surge
in
the
amount
of
students
who
are
requiring
IEPs
or
an
individualized
education
and
more
attention,
as
coming
out
of
the
pandemic.
F
So
I
think
making
sure
that
we're
giving
more
money
to
allocate
for
this
Surge
and
need,
and
also
making
sure
that
all
students
that
were
giving
more
money
to
this
program
to
make
sure
that
all
students
are
getting
the
best
education
for
them
for
them
as
a
unique
individual.
Because
each
student
is
a
unique
student
and
we
need
to
recognize
that.
B
D
Well,
I
think
one
important
thing
to
recognize
is
we
have
one
holistic
budget,
so
you're
gonna
have
to
make
budget
cuts
somewhere
and
I
definitely
propose,
maybe
textbooks,
because
we
know
that
we
have
been
more
reliant
on
digital
textbooks
and
paper
textbooks,
so
cutting
costs
there.
Additionally,
it's
also
focusing
on
where
we're
getting
these
resources.
Things
like
you
know,
office
materials.
Are
we
going
going
through
private
contractors
or
retail
prices
so
comparing
prizes
and
seeing?
D
How
can
we
lower
costs
and
make
and
in
terms
of
allocating,
definitely
make
placing
an
emphasis
on
more
educational
opportunities,
more
College
and
Career
preparedness,
making
sure
that
we're
having
opportunities
for
all
students?
So
if
you
look
in
the
budget,
you
see
that
there
has
been
a
significant
cut
in
vocational
and
stem
programs
from
the
fiscal
year
2021,
and
this
proposed
budget
so
making
sure
that
we're
expanding
these
opportunities,
because
every
student
should
come
to
school
with
a
purpose
and
feel
that
they
have
a
purpose.
B
E
So
one
of
the
things
in
my
platform
that
I
advocate
for
is
for
Teacher
compensation,
so
Anne
Arundel
county
is
the
third
wealthiest
county
in
the
state,
but
yet
it
ranks
19th
out
of
24
and
starting
teachers,
salary
and
our
average
State
salary.
Our
average
salary
is
about
seven
thousand
dollars
lower
than
the
state
average,
and
so
what
does
that
mean
for
students?
That
means
that
with
neighboring
counties,
new
teachers
or
teachers
might
be
leaving
our
school
system
to
go
to
those
counties
and
we're
losing
high
quality,
diverse
Educators?
E
That
could
be
educating
our
students,
giving
our
students
a
greater
education.
So
what
would
I
like
to
do?
Reallocate
money
to
increasing
our
studying
teacher
salaries
to
match
and
exceed
neighboring
counties
and,
secondly,
making
sure
that
our
veteran
teachers,
our
teachers,
who
have
been
in
our
school
system
for
a
long
time,
on
the
correct
pay
grade,
because
I
want
to
make
sure
that
our
great
excellent
educators
are
staying
in
our
County
so
that
they
can
continue
to
provide
a
high
quality
education,
educational
experience
for
all
of
our
students.
B
D
You
any
rebuttals
I
do
I
want
to
add
one
thing:
I
also
advocated
for
like
having
more
wages
for
teachers
and
making
competitive
wages,
but
I
do
want
to
add
that,
with
this
proposed
budget
that
Dr
Bedell
is
proposing
for
the
next
year
teacher
wages
and
deciding
salary
increase
is
being
a
main
priority.
So
in
fact,
78.4
of
the
budget
is
dedicated
to
salaries,
teacher
salaries
and
making
sure
that
we
are
having
competitive
wages.
D
E
So
my
main
goal
really
is
so
with
the
next
proposal.
I
really
so,
with
the
Maryland
blueprint
by
2026,
all
of
our
starting
teacher
salaries
will
be
at
least
60
000
a
year,
but
really
setting
up
our
County.
So
whereas
you
know
once
that
all
of
our
school
systems
are
starting
at
sixty
thousand,
surely
there
will
be
other
counties
who
are
trying
to
go
above
that
to
create
competition
and
making
sure
that
we
are
one
of
those
counties
so
that
we
can
continue
to
hire
diverse
and
high
quality
educators.
B
D
Thank
you
Katarina,
but
I
think
one
big
emphasis
is
making
sure
allocate
or
not
allocation,
but
delegation
right,
not
making
sure
that
I'm
not
gonna,
be
the
only
one
working
on
policies
working
with
student
leaders
across
the
county
and
making
sure
that
they're
being
involved
in
this
process
and
prioritizing
what
students
need,
if
students
feel
that
you
know
addressing
the
educational
Gap
is
the
biggest
priority.
Focusing
on
that
well,
I
will
say:
one
main
focus
for
me
will
definitely
be
school
safety,
but
definitely
making
sure
like
looking
in
our
school
environments.
D
Looking
at
what
are
the
pressing
concerns
and
prioritizing
those
concerns.
Another
component
keep
in
mind
is,
as
a
student
member.
We
have
the
shortest
term.
We
have
one
here,
so
you
might
not
be
able
to
fully
concretely
establish
every
single
initiative,
but
at
least
you're
starting
a
path
for
those
initiatives
to
continue
in
the
future
years
and
that's
what
a
lot
of
our
past
moms
do
too
Eric
yeah.
E
So,
first
and
foremost,
I
would
focus
on
my
top
five
policy
priorities,
which
are
things
that
I've
got
that
I
have
formulated,
based
on
what
I've
heard
from
a
lot
of
different
students.
So
those
are
things
like
reforming,
Our,
World,
Language
curriculum,
so
that
student,
what
students
are
learning
you
know
their
Spanish,
their
French
they're
Chinese
they're,
actually
able
to
use
it
in
real
life
to
talk
to
other
people
in
that
language.
Other
things
include
the
dress
code,
which
a
lot
of
students
have
brought
up
to
me
as
well
from
all
different
schools.
E
So,
first
and
foremost
focusing
on
my
top
five
policy
priorities.
Additionally,
as
indu
said
really
setting
up
future
smobs
to
continue
on
the
legacy
of
what
I
establish.
So
recognizing
that
you
know,
my
term
is
only
one
year,
there's
only
so
much
I
can
do
in
one
year,
but
you
know
setting
things
up
so
that
the
future
smobs
can
take
over
and
continue
to.
You
know
push
for
those
things
if
they're
not
able
to
be
accomplished
within
a
year.
F
Taryn
well
so
I
think.
The
best
thing
that
we
can
do
is
make
sure
that
a
lot
of
these
changes
that
we
need
to
do
as
student
member
of
the
board.
My
job
is
to
convince
the
Board
of
Education
that
would
be
sitting
here
saying
this
is
the
best
decision
for
the
students,
and
this
is,
it
is
achievable,
so
I
think
the
best
way
that
I'm
going
to
do
that
and
my
plan
is
to
do
with
local
plans
to
each
school
and
talking
to
the
administration
and
checking
in
with
Administration
saying,
hey.
F
You
can
implement
this
change
and
making
sure
I
have
the
backing
and
the
support
of
multiple
middle
schools
high
schools,
elementary
schools,
whatever
it
may
be,
that
this
is
affecting
whatever
a
policy
may
be
affecting
or
a
policy
I
want
to
push
for
is
affecting
to
make
sure
that
we're
I'm,
showing
the
board
that
we
can
do
this.
And
so
that
way
there
has
to
be
less
time,
spent
on
deliberation
and
more
time
on
more
time
on
planning
and
more
time
on
already
implementing
it
in
the
schools
and
I.
D
I'm
not
a
rebuttal,
but
it's
essentially
kind
of
adding
on
that.
The
best
way
to
truly
serve
your
community
is
getting
involved
in
your
community
too
often
board,
members
and
I.
Guess
even
you
know,
as
current
moms
I'm
sure
it's
easy
to
kind
of
get
lost
in
what
the
true
needs
of
the
community
are
so
basically
making
sure
that
you
are
actively
in
the
community
being
a
part
of
these
initiatives
and
programs
to
establish
these
things.
E
Again,
not
necessarily
a
rebuttal
I
do
agree
with
indu,
which
is
why,
if
elected
I
will
definitely
be
working,
just
like
other
smobs
have
done
in
other
counties,
visiting
students
during
their
lunches,
all
middle
school
high
school
students,
even
Elementary
schoolers
I
love
talking
to
Elementary,
schoolers,
they're,
awesome
so
visiting
all
of
our
schools
listening
to
them,
seeing
what's
going
on
in
their
schools,
what
I
can
do
to
help
so
yeah.
E
So
maintaining
perseverance
and
persistent
consistency,
and
so
what
that
means
is
so
if
a
teacher
is
bringing
up
an
issue
to
me
like
I'm,
seeing
that
you
know
there's
an
issue
going
on
within
a
school
first
thing:
what
can
be
done
at
the
school
level?
So,
if
there's
an
issue
that
can
be
resolved
right
at
the
school
level,
let's
resolve
it.
E
There
work
with
our
Administration,
but
if
it's
something
that
has
to
be,
you
know
addressed
at
the
board
and
you
know
see
if
it's
something
that
again
has
to
be
addressed
at
the
board
following
up
consistently
to
make
sure
that
you
know
what
needs
to
be
done
is
getting
done
and
what
that
can
look
like
is
not
only
just
emailing
the
administration
at
that
school.
E
But
if
you
know
they're
I'm,
not
getting
a
response
back
personally
going
to
that
school
and
having
a
meeting
with
that
Administration
to
go
okay,
this
is
a
problem
that
I've
seen
that
one
of
your
staff
or
one
of
the
students
has
brought
up.
You
know
we
haven't
really.
You
haven't
really
addressed
it.
Yet
what
can
we
do
now?
I'm
here
with
you?
What
can
we
do
to
address
those
issues.
B
F
Well,
I
think
the
best
way
to
start
with
this
is
to
make
sure
that,
if
it
is,
if
it's
resolved
at
the
school
level
great,
if
we
need
to
bring
it
to
the
board
level,
we
do
that
promptly
and
efficiently.
So
that
way,
that
immediate
change
is
taking
place
and
the
administrations
can
go
in
and
Implement
whatever
that
change
may
be,
but
then
later
on,
I
think
the
most
important
part
of
this
is
following
up.
F
First
with
the
administration
of
that
school,
with
the
principal
with
the
assistant,
principals
and
saying
hey,
you
are
doing
this
right
and
they're
saying
yeah
we're
doing
this.
Look
at
these
results.
Look.
It
is
getting
better
saying:
okay,
that's
great,
but
then
also,
furthermore,
checking
in
with
schools
and
checking
in
with
students
to
make
sure
that
each
individual
student
and
making
sure
that
the
students
themselves
are
feeling
that
change
on
top
of
the
administration.
D
Indo
so
I
know,
one
of
the
biggest
complaints
from
students
and
teachers
is
easily
a
bureaucracy
that
is
prevalent
in
our
County
and
the
best
way
to
cut
through
that
is
again
being
directly
involved
in
schools.
So
I
mentioned
this
mob
team
advisory
Council.
So
if
it,
you
know,
a
personal
concern
is
being
raised
at
one
specific
School
working
with
those
representatives
and
working
with
them
and
connecting
with
Administration
and
different
people
in
charge.
D
So
we
are
bringing
effective
Solutions
and
that
we're
implementing
change,
that's
effective,
and
if
this
is
something
that
progresses
to
the
board
level
similar
to
what
my
fellow
competitors,
that
is
definitely
making
sure
that
we're
being
persistent
and
tenacious
and
ensuring
that
this
is
being
accomplished
that
we
are
fully
following
through
and
not
losing
sight
of.
Our
true
purpose,
which
is
serving
our
schools.
E
So,
just
to
add
something
on
so
and
use
correct,
there's
a
lot
of
red
tape
at
the
board.
You
know
just
because
you
know
it
is
a
bureaucracy,
and
so
what
can
we
do
to?
E
You
know
kind
of
just
avoid
that
red
tape
off
to
all
together
avoid
having
to
go
near
that,
like
I,
said
creating
a
student
ambassador
program
at
every
single
school,
so
that
students
can
talk
to
their
Administration
directly
and
express
their
concerns
of
what's
going
on
in
their
school
and
find
Solutions
right
there
at
the
school
level,
where
there's
less
red
tape
before
we
even
have
to
escalate
down
to
the
board
level,
and
then,
of
course,
you
know
having
those
students
be
able
to.
Thank
you
time.
F
I,
just
think
that
it's
definitely
important
to
hear
from
students
and
to
make
sure
that
they
feel
like
their
voice,
is
being
heard,
but
I
think
it's
also
equally
important
to
make
sure
these
students
feel
like
if
it
does
need
to
progress
to
the
board
level,
we
don't
try
and
stop
them
at
the
school
level
and
say
you
need
to
feel
you
feel
like
this
needs
to
come
to
the
board
level.
Come
in
come
testify,
come
tell
us,
give
us
a
reason.
F
B
D
You
any
other
rebuttals
I
definitely
do
agree
with
Taryn
that
we
want
to
make
sure
that
Civic
engagement
among
students
is
growing,
but
it's
also
like
the
idea
of
like,
if
it's
possible,
to
address
it
at
the
school
level.
Let's
work
on
that,
because
even
at
crafts
we
always
talk
about.
B
F
F
Every
we
have
hundreds
of
students
who
are
in
Esau
and
who
are
you
know,
non-native
English,
English
speakers
and
I
think
the
best
way
we
can
do
this
is
making
sure
we
have
as
many
resources
as
possible
in
Spanish
and
also
making
sure
that
they
have
an
adult
who
checks
in
with
them
in
Spanish
at
their
school
weekly
and
comes
into
a
class
of
maybe
non-english
non-english
Learners
and
says
and
talks
to
them
in
that
language
and
says,
or
they
say
everything
that
they
need
to
know
in
Spanish,
which
I
know
a
lot
of
times.
F
Students
might
not
know
about
homecoming
sales,
homecoming
ticket
sales
or
prom
ticket
sales,
because
they're
not
in
a
different
language,
pardon
but
making
sure
that
they're
accessible
to
all
students
at
that
level
and
making
sure
that
someone's
checking
in
with
them
to
make
sure
they
are
receiving
that
in
Spanish.
B
D
I
always
mentioned
like
it's
so
important
to
embrace
diversity,
and
a
big
component
of
this
is
making
sure
that
we
are
having
more
resources
that
help
these
students
who
might
be
struggling
in
English
and
that's
like
through
English
language,
Specialists,
making
sure
that
we're
having
more
of
these
individuals
present.
But
we
shall
also
encourage
the
fact
that
these
students
are
speaking
another
language,
it's
beautiful,
it
adds
to
our
culture.
D
So
that
means
having
again
diverse
teachers
who
are
being
selected
to
serve
and
teach
teachers
who
can
maybe
connect
better
with
their
students
or
their
specific
demographic.
Additionally,
it's
making
sure
that
we're
bringing
all
students
together
in
school
events
so
having
more
cultural
events
or
more
events,
community
events
that
focus
on
all
students
bring
together
all
students
and
having
services
that
are
able
to
be
used
for
all
students.
So
just
more
of
those
culture
and
Community
bringing
events
Eric.
E
So
growing
up
with
two
immigrant
parents,
they
spoke
very
little
English
in
the
English
that
they
spoke
was
very
broken,
and
so
there
would
be
at
times
when
you
know
there
would
be
times
when
I
had
to
go
to
a
doctor's
appointment
and
there
would
be
an
early
dismissal
and
I
would
just
remember
one
time
that
you
know,
because
my
mother
didn't
speak
very
fluently
in
English
and
she
needed
additional
support
that
the
school
staff
was
kind
of
rude
and
dismissive,
and
so
seeing
that
really
makes
me
want
to
continue
to
promote
hiring
diverse
staff
at
all
of
our
schools.
E
You
know
all
the
Anne
Arundel
county
is
a
very
diverse
County,
so
having
diverse
staff
naturally
seems
fitting
also
continuing
to
have
staff
training,
especially
for
our
you
know.
Our
staff
that
are
working
with
you
know
our
front
office
staff
that
are
constantly
working
with
parents
on
a
daily
basis,
making
sure
that
they
are
promoting
diversity
and
that
they
are
patient,
especially
with
our
parents
and
grandparents
that
don't
speak
English
as
their
first
language.
D
Any
rebuttals
I'm,
not
a
rebutter,
but
more
of
an
addition
is
like.
This
is
definitely
a
big
concern.
It's
like
how
can
you
reach
out
to
your
parents
and
community
members
who
might
not
be
fluent
English,
and
that
is
one
big
thing
The
Joint
Commission
was
talking
about.
Is
the
fact
that
we
need
to
have
more
educational
materials
or
things
that
parents
like
I,
know
parents,
we
get
our
syllabuses.
Have
you
know
we
get
those
syllabuses?
D
B
Any
other
rebuttals,
seeing
none
we're
going
to
move
on
to
our
next
question
and
indu.
You
will
be
starting.
The
school
board
will
be
receiving
a
recommendation
for
phase
one
of
redistrict
redistricting
in
July
2023.
How
will
you
balance
the
perspective
of
families,
Community
stakeholders,
Educational
Consultants
and
aacbs
staff.
D
Thank
you,
Michelle
I.
Think
one
big
component
to
talk
about
is
the
fact
phase.
One
will
compose
of
schools
from
Northern
parts
of
the
county
and
I'm
from
Glen
Burnie.
That
is
one
of
these
schools
and
again
it's
really
making
sure
that
parents,
community
members,
understand
the
need
for
redistricting
in
an
equitable
manner.
Glen
Burnie,
High
School
is
so
overpopulated.
We,
our
teacher
student
ratios,
are
insane.
There
is
not
enough
resources
to
go
around
because
also
keep
in
mind.
Our
school
can't
exactly
afford.
All
of
this.
D
Just
making
sure
that
we're
having
equitable
distribution
we're
more
Stu,
and
it's
also
embracing
diversity.
It's
making
sure
that
even
schools
in
southern
counties
are
our
southern
part
of
our
counties,
are
having
more
students
being
kind
of
shifted
around
and,
of
course,
making
sure
that
we're
working
with
parents
to
make
sure,
like
you
know,
is
this
convenient
for
you
is
this
something
you're
able
to
take
care
of,
because
I
know
that
Transportation
things
like
these
are
major
major
issue,
but
getting
together
just
really
promoting
Equity
with
an
education.
C
E
So
redistricting
is
kind
of
a
complicated
topic
that
you
know
most
people.
You
know
you
have
to
invest
time
into
it
in
order
to
really
understand.
What's
going
on.
So
one
of
the
things
I
like
to
do
is
work
with
our
Communications
office
to
create
easy
to
understand,
infographics
that
can
be
sent
out
to
parents,
students,
Community
stakeholders,
so
they
can.
You
know
they
can
easily
understand
how
am
I
going
to
be
impacted
by
redistricting.
E
What's
going
on
in
our
County
all
that
kind
of
stuff,
additionally,
really
making
sure
that
you
know
we're
talking
to
the
people
who
are
actually
being
impacted
by
the
redistricting,
so
parents
and
students
getting
their
input
their
input
above
you
know,
maybe
above
others,
because
they
are
the
ones
who
are
ultimately
going
to
be
impacted
by
this
redistricting.
B
F
I
think
the
first
thing
that
we
need
to
do
is
make
sure
that
our
the
numbers
are
right
and
making
sure
that
I
think
the
primary
concern
here
should
be
making
sure
that
there
is
no
overpopulation
when
we
are
redistricting
making
sure
we're
not
giving
one
one
school
too
many
students
and
if
we
are
compensating
for
that
with
extra
teachers
and
extra
resources
and
extra
money
to
that
school
and
then
I
think.
The
next
thing
we
need
to
look
at
is
how
how
are
these
districts
designed?
Are
they
designed
by
ZIP
code?
F
Are
they
are
they
or
are
they
designed
to
be
Equitable
and
made
sure
that
it's
each
school
is
getting
the
resources
it
needs
based
on
where
these
students
are
in
that
in
that
school
and
I
think
the
best
thing
that
we
can
do
with
that
is
listening
to
the
parents,
listening
to
the
students
and
listening
to
the
administrations
and
all
the
schools
who
would
be
affected
by
this
and
all
the
parents
to
make
sure
that
they
still
feel
like
their
student
would
go
to
a
fair
school
and
there
would
be
it
would
be
a
fair
redistricting
and
by
making
sure
they
understand,
what's
actually
happening.
D
I
definitely
agree
with
Taryn,
because
equity
and
education
is
a
priority.
That's
why
I
definitely
will
push
out
Equity
audits,
so
we're
doing
boundary
analysis
for
every
school
district
to
see
what
are
the
numbers?
You
know
what
are
the
issues
prevailing
and
how
can
we
redistribute
students
in
an
equitable
manner
so
that
every
student
is
having
access
to
a
quality
education
just
because
you're
from
one
ZIP
code
or
you're
from
one
community
that
should
not
affect
your
ability
to
get
a
quality
education.
B
Any
other
rebuttals
starting
off
with
Eric.
E
Not
a
rebuttal,
in
addition,
I
agree
with
indu.
It's
very
important
that
we're
actually
promoting
Equity,
not
equality,
so
Equity
means
Fair.
Equality
means
equal.
We
shouldn't
be.
You
know,
really
funding
our
schools
equally,
because
we
have
students
in
our
County
that
have
more
need,
as
opposed
to
others,
so
funding
our
schools
equitably
would
look
like
providing
more
money
and
funding
to
schools
that
have
students
that
have
more
need,
as
opposed
to
others
that
don't
who
are
privileged
enough
to
not
have
you
know
to
not
need
as
much
funding.
F
Taryn
I
think
that
another
thing
that
also
needs
to
be
taken
into
account
while
doing
redistricting
is
yes
student
Equity,
making
sure
that
each
school
has
the
appropriate
needs
for
what
it
needs,
which
is
yes
made
up,
of
which
students
are
there
and
what
what
areas
they're
from
and
what
challenges
they're
facing,
but
also
factoring
in
magnet
programs
which
are
very
prevalent
in
this
County.
F
As
a
magnet
student
myself,
I'll
see,
I
have
there's
a
lot
of
students
in
my
magnet
program,
who
maybe
aren't,
who
aren't
necessarily
zoned
for
my
school,
so
making
sure
we're.
Also
taking
that
into
account
when
doing
Equity
is
something
that
we
should
definitely
focus
on.
E
Okay,
so
definitely
this
is
something
that
I've
always
I'm,
very
open,
and
so
what
that
looks
like
is
I'm.
You
know
open
to
ideas
open
to
suggestions.
So
you
know,
as
a
leader,
it's
important
to
set
boundaries
and
deadlines
and
all
that
kind
of
stuff,
but
it's
equally
important
to
listen
to
the
people
that
you're
working
with
to
make
sure
that
you
know
their
input
is
being
heard
and
that
you
know
their
input
is
being
heard
and
they
have
a
say
in
you
know.
E
What's
going
on,
and
so
as
a
leader
I
strive
to
always
be
very
open
to
be
an
active
listener
and
to
really
make
sure
that
all
perspectives
are
being
heard
so
that
the
decision
that
is
made
the
outcome
is
the
best
for
all.
B
F
I
think
the
best
word
that
sums
up
my
leadership
style
is
relatable,
because
I
fully
understand
that
I,
don't
know
everything
I'm
one
person
with
one
perspective
and
there
are
lots
of
students
with
differing
perspectives
and
different
and
different
experiences
that
we
needed
to
factor
in,
which
is
why
that
I
think
as
a
leader.
What
I
always
try
to
do
is
listen
to
everyone
else
and
listen
to
what
they're
saying
and
where
they're
coming
from
before.
F
Even
thinking
about
what
the
solution
could
be
because
a
lot
of
the
times
I
understand
what
I
think
the
solution
may
be.
I
have
an
idea
of
what
it
is,
but
I
know
at
the
end
of
the
day
that
maybe
that's
the
solution.
I'm
thinking
that
could
benefit
me
and
I.
Try
to
include
perspectives
and
I,
try
to
make
sure
I'm
thinking
about
everyone
when
I'm
making
decisions
at
an
individual
level.
D
Hindu
I
said
this
once
and
I'll
say
it
again,
I
think
a
true
leader
is
someone
who's
willing
to
get.
You
know,
get
involved
and
get
their
hands
dirty
and
I
would
definitely
describe
my
leadership
style
as
that
I'm
someone,
who's
always
involved
who's,
always
ready
to
help
out
any
way
I
can,
and
that
is
evident
in
my
work
with
cross
SGA
and
other
leadership
positions
where
I'm
always
within
the
community,
working
with
the
community
and
service
and
serving
back.
D
B
F
I
think
the
best
way
to
define
success
is
that
every
single
student
has
a
sense
of
belonging
when
they
walk
through
the
doors
of
their
school.
When
Dr
Bedell
came
and
spoke
to
my
High
School
to
Annapolis
High
School
I'm
at
our
unified
celebration,
those
were
the
words
to
use
sense
of
belonging,
because
that's
what
we
were
being
recognized
for
giving
students
that
sense
of
belonging-
and
we
were
nationally
recognized
for
that,
because
every
student
felt
like
they
on
that
day.
D
Hindu
well
in
terms
of
measuring
success,
there's
always
the
quantitative
and
the
qualitative.
So
the
quantitative
is
definitely
the
idea
that
all
our
students
feel
safe,
that
they
feel
welcome,
that
they
feel
inclusive
and
that
they're
giving
educational
opportunities
where
they
feel
they
can
truly
succeed
in.
It's
that
sense
of
belonging,
like
Taryn,
said,
which
I
totally
agree
with,
and
that
sense
of
purpose
that
you're
walking
to
school
every
day,
because
you
think
that
you
have
a
purpose
in
this
world
that
you
belong
and
that
you
are
dedicated
in
that
you
deserve
the
world.
D
That
is
my
biggest
priority.
Quant
or
quality.
Quantitative
is
the
idea
that
we're
measuring
things
through
surveys,
making
sure
that
we
are
having
student
satisfaction
that
we're
working
with
parents,
teachers
faculty,
that
everyone
feels
that
their
voice
has
been
represented
during
my
term,
that
they
feel
that
education
has
progressed
and
that
we
are
really
moving
towards
a
better
aacps
for
tomorrow.
D
E
So,
first
and
foremost,
I
think
something
a
lot
of
students
hear
is
that
you
know
test
scores,
don't
define
success,
and
that
is
completely
true.
Some
of
the
brightest
people
that
I've
met
are
not
good
test
takers,
and
so
how
I
would
measure
success?
Is
our
students
do
students
feel
like
they're
learning
in
our
schools?
Do
students
feel
like
what
they're
learning
in
schools
can
be
applied
in
real
life,
and
you
know
like
and
do
and
Taran
have
mentioned,
do
students
feel
like
they
have
a
sense
of
belonging
in
school?
E
Are
they
safe
in
school?
All
of
those
measures
would
be
what
I
take
into
consideration
when
determining
whether
or
not
our
school
system
is
succeeding.
Yeah.
Thank
you.
B
B
D
Jane
and
I
love
you
for
that.
We
would
definitely
agree
that
the
Board
of
Education
composes
of
some
ideological
Warfare
but
I
think
as
a
really
important
component
as
the
student
leader
is
maintain
that
sense
of
neutrality
and
making
it
sure
clear
that
you're
here
as
a
student
representative
and
your
sole
purpose
is
to
make
sure
education
is
being
efficient
and
full
of
quality
for
students.
And
frankly,
education
should
not
be
a
matter
of
politics.
Your
personal
ideologies,
beliefs
or
perspectives
should
not
be
influencing
our
curriculum.
The
resources
are
available
to
students.
E
So
I
think
often
you
know
there
are
people
that
bring
up
the
fact
that
you
know
board
the
Board
of
Education
there's
politics
involved,
but
for
me
personally,
I
am
going
to
maintain
an
unbiased
stance
so
whether
that's
listening
to
One
perspective
or
another
I
will
continue
to
maintain
and
you
know
an
open
ear
and
you
know
whatever
the
it's
I'm
fighting
for
what's
best
for
our
students.
E
So
if
that's
you
know
so,
regardless
of
what
side
that's
coming
from
maintaining
that
neutrality
and
continuing
to
make
sure
that
you
know
my
my
opinion
isn't
swaying
one
way
or
another,
it's
swaying
towards
what's
best
for
students.
F
Taryn
well,
I
think
something
that
we
oftentimes
forget
is
that
which
I
mean
we
see
every
day
as
a
suit.
As
a
student
I
can't
vote,
I'm
17.
I
can't
vote
in
an
actual
election
like
I'm,
an
actual
political
election
at
like
a
federal
or
state
level.
I
can't
vote
so
I
think
that
actually
gives
me
well.
I'd
love
to
vote
I'd
be
totally
honest.
F
D
Thank
you
any
rebuttals
again,
not
a
revital
player,
Edition
I
think
another
key
component
is
education.
It's
making
sure
that
policies
are
not
leaning
towards
one
way
or
another.
It's
making
sure
that
people
understand
that
that
this
is
these
policies
are
solely
pushed
out
to
help
benefit
students
and
making
sure
we're
having
more
of
these
conversations
with
community
and
interest
groups
who
might
feel
strongly
about
certain
issues,
it's
making
sure
that
they
know
and
educating
them
that
this
policy
is
not
too
geared
towards.
B
Thank
you
any
other
rebuttals
scene,
then
we're
going
to
move
on
to
the
next
question,
starting
with
Eric.
In
this
position,
you
will
be
lobbied
by
many
special
interest
groups
within
the
community,
such
as
Tac
crask
and
the
PTA.
Is
there
one
group
whose
perspective
you
would
consider
more
than
others?
If
so,
why.
E
So
this
is
a
question
that
I
have
heard
before
from
our
interviews,
but
I
will
answer
with
the
exact
same
answer
that
I
gave
to
the
interview
panel.
No,
so
as
a
student
member
of
the
Board
of
Education,
yes,
I
am
here
to
listen
to
students
and
students
will
be
a
priority
for
me,
making
sure
that
the
students
voices
Express
across,
especially
since
you
know,
there's
one
student
on
a
board
of
seven
people,
eight
people.
E
So
it's
important
that
you
know
as
that
Monsoon
voice
that
I'm
making
sure
that
that
the
student's
voice
is
the
priority.
For
me,
however,
with
other
interest
organizations
I'm
very
open
to
listening
to
you
know
our
community
stakeholders
like
I
mentioned
so
that
includes
Tac
and
making
sure
that
you
know
I
will
not
prioritize
one
over
the
other.
I
will
listen
to
all
of
them
to
create
the
best
Solutions
and
best
education
possible
for
our
students.
B
F
So
I
think,
unfortunately,
in
this
County,
when
in
a
lot
of
counties
when
it
comes
to
making
policy,
we
often
ignore
the
students,
because
we
think
they're
too
young
and
we
think
they
don't
know
what
they're
talking
about
when
in
reality,
they're
the
ones
who
are
experiencing
any
changes
that
are
made
at
the
board
level
and
at
the
board
of
education.
F
Talking
about
it
or
from
a
or
from
a
removed
perspective
is
the
best
way
that
we're
going
to
understand
what
really
is
best
because
yeah,
maybe
our
brains
are
still
developing
but
I
think
we
know
what's
best
for
us
on
certain
policies
on
most
like
99.9
of
policies,
and
we
know
what's
going
to
best
benefit
us
and
what
could
hurt
us
so
I
think
they're.
The
ones
I
would
listen
to
the
most.
D
D
B
F
I
think
the
thing
I
admire
most
about
both
Eric
and
and
do
is
how
passionate
they
are
about
this
position
and
the
life
experience
that
they
have
similar
to
me,
because
that
was
my
one
fear
was
that's
why
I
ran
because
I
was
worried.
Someone
with
no
life
experience
would
be
on
there.
F
Someone
who
just
was
clicking
a
box
in
their
resume
making
themselves
look
good
to
colleges,
someone
who
didn't
really
care
so
I
think
that's
the
thing
I
admire
most
about
both
Eric
and
indu
is
that
they
both
really
care,
and
they
each
have
their
different
reasons
for
caring,
but
they're,
very
both
very
equally
good
reasons,
and
that's
just
it
makes
me
know
that,
with
that,
whichever
one
of
us
wins,
we
all
have
our
unique
life
perspectives,
but
it's
made
it's
made
sure
that
each
and
every
one
of
us
cares
and
that's
I
think
the
best
thing
that
they
each
have.
D
Well,
thank
you
for
that
Taryn,
but
and
similarly
I
will
say,
taryn's
unfiltered
passion
like
when
she
walks
in
she
comes
in
with
so
much
passion
in
her
voice,
and
you
can
tell
that
she
truly
cares
about
her
issues
and
especially
when
she
made
those
connections
to
her
personal
experience
and
family
life.
That's
what
truly
won
my
heart
and
that's
why
I
think
she's
like
wonderful,
I,
love,
her
passion
and
Eric
has
innovative
ideas,
like
fact
he's
working
to
take
perspectives
from
like
outside
the
state.
D
E
So
for
both
candidates,
I
applaud
their
courage
for
applying
for
this
position,
and
you
know
wanting
to
represent
the
student's
voice,
bringing
ideas
that
they
believe
will
better.
Our
students
lives
to
the
table
for
Taran
I
recently
met
Taryn,
so
I
don't
know
a
lot
about
her,
but
just
hearing
I
love
her
inclusive
policies.
E
How
she's
trying
to
make
sure
everybody
has
a
sense
of
belonging
in
our
County
and
for
indu
I've
known
indu
for
a
little
bit
longer
and
I
will
say
that
Indus
Drive
is
really.
What
gets
me
I
love
that
she
is
motivated
and
she's
persevered,
and
she
has
perseverance
and
she's
constantly
striving
to
make
sure
that
students
have
the
best
quality
education
that
they
can
have
in
Anne,
Arundel
County.
B
Seeing
none
thank
you
for
attending
or
viewing
the
2023
to
2024

member

debate
