Have
a
process
question?
Okay,
so
normally,
when
we
have
more
than
one
option
that
has
been
thoroughly
vetted
and
reviewed
just
like
with
redistricting
and
other
things
we
normally
pair
them
out
or
if
we
would
have
had
multiple
nominations
like
when
we
have
multiples
for
officer
requests,
usually
on
the
VP
side.
E
However,
we
do
have
Amendment,
so
I
just
wondered
what
approach
we're
taking,
because
there's
pros
and
cons
to
both,
especially
with
amendments,
because
we
have
to
have
that
particular
calendar
or
we
could
amend
as
a
whole,
regardless
of
which
one
that
we
have
to.
But
I
just
wanted
some
clarification
on
the
process,
because
we've
taken
different
approaches
in
different
years
on
this
I've
seen
it
go
both
both
ways.
E
But
I
was
just
curious
with
the
argument,
of
course,
being
that
if
one
is
presented,
the
other
one
does
not
have
its
Fair
opportunity,
and
while
we
are
still
under
our
older
motion,
that
is
how
we
have.
That
is
the
why
we
have
proceeded
because
they
were
fairly
considered
at
equal
times,
and
so
that
would
be
otherwise
it's
just
the
first
person
who
gets
to
the
to
the
button
on
the
two
choices.
So
that's
all
I
I
would
like
some
that's
more
of
a
point
of
information.
I.
C
E
E
D
B
B
Correct
I
thought
that
was
that
was
that
was
addressed
in
terms
of
that
option
prior
to
us,
bringing
this
recommendation
here
today.
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
my
recollection
recollection
serves
me
correct,
so
the
then
the
recommendation
that
we
put
out
was
based.
On
those
previous
conversations.
We
recommend
the
approval
of
the
2023-2024
school
year
calendar,
as
recommended
by
the
calendar
committee,
and
further
recommends
the
board
adopt
recommendations
of
the
committee
with
regard
to
a
consistent
start
date
to
the
school
year
and
to
development
of
future
calendars
and
I.
B
G
B
E
Was
not
because
I'm
looking
at
two
options
and
I
didn't
hear
we
recommend
the
a
or
the
B
I'm
just
hearing
the
recommendations
of
that
and
all
of
a
sudden
we've
got
emotion,
and
normally
we
do
questions
before
emotions.
So
that's
where
my
confusion
is
I'm
not
trying
to
create
a
a
fury
here.
I
would
like
to
get
an
understanding
of
what
was
motioned,
because
it
just
happened
so
quite
so
fast
and
I'm.
Fine
with
that,
because
now
we've
got
a
motion
on
the
table.
A
E

Good
afternoon,
president
Tobin
vice
president
so
forth,
members
of
the
board
Dr
Bedell,
again
I'm
Bob
Moser
Chief
Communications
officer
for
the
school
system
here
to
present
item
7.05
the
2023-2024
school
year,
calendar,
which
is
before
the
board
for
approval.
This
afternoon.
As
you
recall,
we
presented
the
recommendation
of
the
calendar
committee
to
you
at
your
last
meeting.
We
then
posted
that
recommendation
online,
along
with
the
second
calendar
that
the
committee
presented
for
public
comment.
F
F
Also
by
way
of
review
here,
are
the
24
invitees
to
the
calendar
committee
each
year.
As
you
can
see,
there
is
a
diverse
cross-section
of
parents,
students,
employee
bargaining
unit
representatives
and
representatives
from
Key
departments.
In
our
school
system,
the
com
I
go
too
fast.
I
did
go
too
fast,
didn't
I,
okay,
the
committee's
recommended
calendar,
as
presented
to
this
board
on
November
16th
calls
for
classes
to
begin
for
students
on
Monday,
August
28th
and
conclude
on
Thursday
June
13th.
F
The
calendar
contains
the
same
breaks
as
exist
in
this
year's
calendar
and
also
includes
the
applicable
holiday
closings.
This
board
has
approved.
There
are
three
days
built
in
for
inclement
weather,
as
required
by
state
law
and
12
partial
days,
four
Unity
days
on
which
staff
engage
in
professional
development
related
to
equity
and
two
early
dismissal
days
at
the
end
of
each
of
the
four
marking
periods.
The
calendar
also
contains
the
closings
required
by
state
law,
which
you
see
here.
F
I
mentioned
the
12
partial
days
a
minute
ago,
and
this
is
one
of
two
significant
changes
recommended
by
the
committee.
The
calendar
before
you
removes
the
three
partial
days
designated
for
parent-teacher
conferences,
moving
the
total
number
of
parcel
days
from
15
contained
in
this
year's
calendar
down
to
12..
As
I
said,
when
I
was
before
you
in
November,
there
was
robust
discussion
about
the
inconvenience
the
number
of
these
days
posed
for
families
and
the
increasing
number
of
ways
that
parents
and
teachers
can
communicate
the
information
shared
at
conferences.
F
The
committee
also
made
two
recommendations
to
establish
a
consistent
date
on
which
to
start
the
school
year
and
to
resume
the
year
ahead
process
where
tentative
calendars
are
put
together
more
than
a
year
in
advance,
so
families
can
begin
to
plan.
As
I
said
at
the
outset,
this
matter
is
before
you
for
a
vote
today
and
with
that
we
will
be
happy
to
try
to
answer
any
questions.
You
have.
E
I
J
E
I
I
think
the
ones
like
that
are
occurring
after
the
after
a
marking
period
are
self-evident.
This
is
those
opportunities
for
our
staff
to
collaborate,
get
ready
for
the
next
one
tidy
up
whatever
they
need
to
with
that.
But
you
know
our
parents,
we've
started
this
Unity
Day
program,
and
it
was
embraced
by
a
lot
in
our
community
continues
to
do
so,
but
there
is
a
lot
of
mystery
of
what
happens
in
that
two-hour
early
dismissal
and
how
it
supports
well
supports
our
education
efforts
of
our
students.
J
J
That
being
said,
we
attend
the
three
of
us
attend
professional
development
that
occurs
on
the
unity
days
at
schools.
Just
for
that
reason,
so
that
we
can
continue
to
monitor
at
a
central
office
level
as
well
as
get
our
own
professional
development.
Teachers
engage
in
professional
development,
delivered
by
not
only
their
principal
but
their
colleagues,
frequently
the
equity
lead
and
the
principal
are
side
by
side
giving
the
professional
development.
Sometimes
students
are
involved,
and
it's
really
a
day
for
teachers
to
engage
in
professional
development.
J
K
I
would
agree
100
and
the
real
excitement
is
we've
seen
growth
over
the
years.
We're
now
starting
to
see
leadership
as
Mrs
Jackson
said,
different
people
taking
leadership
in
the
buildings
and
with
that
leadership.
What
you'll
see
is
whole
grade
levels
talking
about
what
they're
doing
to
meet
student
needs
and
you'll
also
see
cross
interdisciplinary
linkages
being
made,
and
so
we'll
get
from
my
side
of
the
house.
K
J
We
talk
about
you
know
this
whole
idea
of
culturally
responsive
teaching
and
the
brain,
and
that's
what
we've
been
working
on
for
the
last
two
years.
We
have
not
planned
for
next
school
year,
yet
that
will
probably
start
happening
in
the
winter
now.
I
know.
Our
team
has
started
that,
but
you
know
as
far
as
communication
with
our
executive
team
and
things
of
that
nature,
but
as
Mr
silkworth
will
probably
attest
to
because
I've
attended,
North,
County
professional
development
when
you're
at
a
middle
school,
but
more
so
at
a
high
school
level.
E
And
then
this
is
also
meeting
are,
although
we
implemented
this
prior
to
the
states
some
of
the
state's
initiative.
This
is
also
now
meeting
our
standards
and
guidance
from
the
state
and
the
federal
level
as
to
how
to
approach
our
requirements
in
in
the
course
of
equity,
because
Equity
is
actually
a
requirement,
not
just
a
right
something.
We
believe
in
right
right.
E
E
J
B
A
B
Yeah
I
think
it's
first
and
foremost
just
just
being
here
for
whatever
100
and
something
days
I've
been
here.
You
know,
I
I
continue
to
learn
a
lot
about
how
people
operate
in
this
system,
how
people
perceive
how
things
are
going
and
when
I
kind
of
hear
the
word
I
don't
know
if
it
was
mystery
whatever
it
is
like
what
we're
doing
shouldn't
be
a
mystery
to
any
single
board
member
right.
So
if,
if
like
their
concerns
about
what's
happening
with
our
Equity
training,
then
I
think,
rather
than
getting
it
from
secondary
sources.
B
My
time
in
Baltimore
County,
there
was
pushback
not
as
much
in
in
Kansas
City,
but
I
think
people
wanted
to
know
what
was
happening
in
the
trainings
and
so
for
me.
I
think
it
would
be
important
that
as
we
roll
out
these
trainings,
we
we
work
with
you
all
to
give
you
an
opportunity
to
go
to
a
session
and
see
for
yourself
I
think
it
will
also
be
welcomed
by
building
principles,
to
see
that
board
members
are
willing
to
come
in
and
understand
what
we're
doing
and
I
think
we
can.
B
C
All
right,
I
move,
and
this
is
relevant
and
we
all
see
why
I
moved
to
rescind
the
board's
action
taken
on
January,
20th
2021
quote
that
all
future
calendars
we
evaluate
the
start
date
in
the
following
manner.
If
Labor
Day
lands
on
September
5th
or
later
the
school
year
would
begin
the
preceding
Monday,
if
Labor
Day
lands
on
or
before
September
4th
the
school
year
would
begin
after
Labor
Day.
L
L
The
start
of
the
year
start
before
Labor
day,
but
if
it's
early
enough,
we
will
start
after
Labor
Day
per
the
requests
of
the
community,
so
we
have
operated
under
that
motion
for
the
pre-labor
day
and
now
the
year
that
we
would
finally
go
back
to
the
post.
Labor
Day
is
the
year
that
this
motion
arises
to
rescind
that
and
and
I
find
that
troubling,
because
the
compromise
has
been
reduced
in
that.
In
that
sense,
there
is
no
compromise.
Now
it
is
all
well.
L
L
We
have
agreed
that
that
was
their
concerns
and
that
we
were
going
to
be
responsive
to
that
and
I
think
that
taking
that
from
people
is,
is
just
not
appropriate
for
for
a
board
to
say
in
this
time
where
it
would
finally
go
back
to
what
some
of
the
other
folks
who
had
way
down
on
the
calendar
would
want.
So
I
will
not
be
supporting
this
motion.
G
Can
I
get
a
point
of
clarification?
I
thought
the
motion
was
to
take
the
so
that
we
could
have
the
flexibility
of
deciding
pre
and
post
independently
versus
like
a
statement
that
was
made,
it
was
my
understanding
that
if
Labor
Day
fell
on
that
it
was
kind
of
set.
If
you
will
that,
if
it
fell
on
us
on
the
5th
that
we
would
start
prior
if
it
fell
on
the
fourth
we
would
start
after,
and
so
in
that
case,
this
year's
in
this
year's
calendar
Labor
day
does
fall
on
the
fourth.
G
So
therefore
it
would
be
an
after.
Is
that
accurate,
okay
and
given
the
fact
that
last
year
they
got
this
Educators
got
less
than
six
weeks
for
the
summer
which
we're
headed
into
that
same
situation
this
year.
If
we
follow
our
agreed
upon
motion
and
go
post,
we
keep
keep
on
getting
the
same
results
out
of
it.
C
G
Making
sure
that
we
get
the
calendar
correct
now,
I
thought
all
this
started
as
a
result
of
Juneteenth.
The
incoming
a
holiday
and
I
could
be
wrong
on
that,
but
it
seems
like
to
me
that
each
year,
the
with
the
weather
with
everything
else,
it
seems
like
Juneteenth,
become
the
moment
to
where
it
causes
the
teachers
to
have
to
either
go
to
to
stay
longer
or
for
us
to
end
the
calendar
year
and
when
summer
begins
and
summer
ends.
At
least
that
was
the
case
last
year.
So
I
just
need
a
clarification.
C
I
have
other
emotions
that
get
into
other
that
get
into
other
things,
as
I've
send
out
to
everyone
well
in
advance
and
also
called
each
and
every
single
one
of
you
about
so
individually.
So
so
this
just
rescinds
that
previous
motion
it
does
not.
It
does
not
address
future
calendars
in
any
way.
That'll
be
later.
The
only
purpose
of
this
motion
is
to
rescind
previous
board
action,
but
with
regard
to
Juneteenth
those
things
happen.
Six
months
apart.
D
So
this
is
this
is
troubling
to
me,
and
I
always
have
to
look
at
this
through
the
lens
of
of
what
is
best
for
our
students.
What
is
best
for
our
school
families
and
I'm
struggling
with
this
one,
because
we
also
have
in
front
of
us.
You
know
a
calendar
option
that
post
Labor
Day
does
go
late
into
June,
I'm
I'm,
opposed
to
that
I'm.
A
I
am
in
support
of
a
more
condensed
school
calendar
which
our
families
have
pretty
consistently
asked
for,
and
we
can't
seem
to
get
there.
D
This
is
not
any
kind
of
criticism
of
our
calendar
committee.
It's
a
it's
a
criticism
of
all
of
the
constraints
that
are
that
are
put
on
us
by
by
the
state
and
by
this
board,
because
we
have
built
in
so
many
additional
days,
so
I
don't
mean
to
ramble,
but
I'm
just
troubled
that
every
time
we
try
to
land
in
a
place
that
that
our
families
can
understand
what
we're
doing
and
where
we're
going
with
this,
we
keep
changing
it.
D
E
I've
got
an
idea
for
a
calendar
and
the
way
some
of
that
transacted
internally
externally
and
everywhere
in
between
led
me
to
believe
that
this
was
a
good
place
to
be
upon
reflection
of
where
we
are
now
and
where
we
want
to
be
I'm.
Almost
thinking
that
in
the
spring
would
be
the
time
for
us
to
truly
establish
some
substantive
boundaries
that
are
reflective
of
where
our
community
is
now.
E
And
so,
although
I
I
recognize
that
my
district,
the
diversity
of
my
district,
includes
a
preference
to
a
post-labor
day
because
of
the
industries
and
the
families
and
how
we
work
in
South
County,
especially
that
I
will
always
be
leaning
into
that
post-labor
day.
Because
of
that,
but
recognizing
what
happens
on
the
back
end
now,
with
the
additions
of
holidays,
with
the
with
the
changes
of
of
how
we
View
Spring,
Breaks
and
and
some
of
our
other
things,
I
really
do
think
that
it
would
be
more
appropriate
for
us
to
do.
That.
E
I
would
feel
more
comfortable,
of
course,
supporting
this
motion
if
I
could
get
some
support
for
for
resurveying
and
with
the
community
we
haven't
actually
reached
out
to
our
community
in
a
while
and
for
a
while.
We
were
getting
and
given
a
little
bit
of
survey
and
digestion
there
to
our
to
our
constituents.
Now.
E
Maybe
this
may
be
a
good
moment
as
we
prepare
to
do
a
multi-year
calendar
to
reassess
where
a
community
truly
is
now
that
they
see
as
a
reflection
of
this,
because,
honestly
we're
going
to
have
a
motion
on
the
table
that
will
not
place
the
the
post
labor
and
the
pre-labor
at
an
equal
vote
opportunity
today
that
I
do
not
see
that
materializing
after
the
recess.
That
was
not
brought
as
as
an
option.
So
as
we
move
forward
here.
E
Having
that
second
calendar
really
isn't
doing
the
folks
that
I
represent
that
want
the
post
today
Labor
Day,
because
it
will
never
come
to
vote
because
once
the
other
gets
its
five,
so
it
with
our
process
not
being
fairly
accountable
to
actually
truly
deliberating
on
both
options.
I,
don't
see
that
this
is
actually
solving
a
consensus
problem,
but
I
would
like
to
see
that
survey
come
out
in
some
way,
shape
or
form.
E
I
did
see
a
shift
in
in
our
averaging
numbers
indicating
that
maybe
we
need
to
survey
the
whole,
because,
where
people
just
don't
have
time
to
write
to
us
about
this
stuff
all
the
time
and
keep
track
of
our
stuff,
we've
got
very
long
agendas
and
business
stuff
because
we're
a
big
school
right,
so
I
will
be
supporting
this
that
perhaps
not
for
the
the
same
reasons
beforehand,
because
I
do
believe.
We
can
find
a
better
way
of
addressing
what
I
wanted
to
address
in
that
original
motion
that
has
not
materialized.
E
Despite
those
efforts
and
I
will
say
that
yes,
I
agree
with
Miss
Ellis
in
closing
that
I
am
disappointed
that
we
cannot
seem
to
as
a
body
be
supportive
of
what
we
actually
pass
in
its
full
context
and
give
things
an
actual
chance.
I
I
think
that
is
something
that
we
could
work
on
as
a
group
to
improve
because,
as
it
stands,
I
know,
the
majority
of
my
district
will
not
feel
represented
by
the
process
of
our
vote
today.
L
I
just
had
to
circle
back
to
just
a
comment
or
two
and
and
I
know:
Miss
Dent
mentioned
the
length
of
the
calendar
and
last
year
how
far
it
went,
but
I
did
want
to
just
bring
up
that.
We
have
had
a
significant
positive
change
since
then,
which
is
now
we
can
have
our
virtual
Snow
Day
Option,
and
that
was
the
reason
why
one
of
the
reasons
why
the
calendar
went
so
late
last
year
was
because
we
had
some
inclement
weather
days
and
we
ran
out
of
our
our
three.
L
So
we
went
over
so
that
will
have
some
remedy
to
be
potentially
addressed.
So
we
may
not
run
into
that
at
this
point,
so
some
good
news
there
for
that
and
then
just
as
one
closing
statement
I
couldn't
find
this
earlier,
because
I
was
the
first
one
to
jump
on
my
light.
But
in
our
public
comments
one
comment
that
stood
out
to
me
was
a
parent
who
wrote
in
who
specifically
referenced
our
motion
that
we
made
and
stated
that
they
made
their
plan
ends
based
on
our
motion
and
lamented
that
the
board.
L
D
Just
real
quick,
because
that
made
me
think
of
something
I
mean
it
we're
we're
less
than
a
year
out
from
next
August
September.
So
it
is.
It
is
conceivable
that
families
have
made
vacation
plans
and
that
is
often
a
less
expensive
time
to
travel.
If
you
go
last
week
of
August
so
that
that
is
problematic,
I
just
wanted
to
point
that
out.
C
M
Michelle
I
moved
to
rescind
the
board's
action
taken
on
January
20th
2021
that
for
all
future
calendars
we
evaluate
the
start
date
in
the
following
manner.
If
Labor
Day
lands
on
September
5th
or
later
the
school
or
later
the
school
year
would
begin
the
preceding
Monday,
if
Labor
Day
lands
on
or
before
September
4th
the
school
year
would
begin
the
day
after
Labor
Day
Mr
McGrath
aye,
Mr,
silkworth,
aye,
Miss,
Frank,
no
Miss,
Ellis,
nay,
Miss,
quirkadel,
hi,
Michelle,
aye,
Miss,
Den,
aye,
Dr,
Tobin
aye.
A
D
A
E
A
C
I
D
D
So
my
concern
a
couple
minutes
ago
was
I,
didn't
feel
it
was
appropriate
for
this
board
to
adopt
a
calendar
without
knowing
what
it's
fully
going
to
look
like
when
there's
other
amendments,
but
as
I
hear
the
motion,
it
is
not
adopting
a
calendar,
it
is
the
board
agreeing
to
go
with
a
pre-labor
day
start
and
I'm
comfortable.
With
voting
on
that,
okay.
D
So
again,
as
my
reason
stated
earlier,
I
I
struggle
with
this,
but
I
have
issues
with
going
late
into
June.
I
would
like
to
see
this
board
do
better
work
in
trying
to
to
condense
our
school
calendar
and
for
that
reason,
I'm
going
to
have
things
to
say
on
a
on
a
upcoming
motion,
but
giving
the
options
that
are
before
us
as
far
as
where
we're
going
to
land
I
am
going
to
have
to
support.
E
As
I
indicated
previously
and
alluded
to,
I
I
understand
the
the
late
June,
but
I.
Also
there
is
something
to
be
said
about
you
know
our
duration
of
our
summer,
the
of
our
summer
break
as
well
as
substantially
which
month
we
are
hanging
out.
You
know
we
have
kids
in
school
and
those
are
two
separate
issues.
E
I
think
because
number
one
we
were
in
a
required
gubernatorial,
post,
Labor,
Day
environment,
when
that
happened
that
year
that
we
had
to
adopt
the
post-labor
day,
our
staff
and
our
students
got
a
got
a
little
bit
of
extra
time
because
we
had
previously
been
operating
under
a
pre-labor
day.
So
in
that
year
we
did
that
everybody
got
a
little
bit
of
extra
time.
Likewise,
when
the
board
decided
to
go
back
to
pre-labor
day,
naturally,
those
weeks
got
scrunched
down.
That's
a
one-time
thing.
E
It's
not
just
about
majority,
but
the
industries
that
need
to
survive
in
up
through
Labor
Day
are
those
that
are
employing
my
my
students.
They
are
the
the
family
business
of
my
students
and
we
have
Labor
shortages
in
the
industries
that
these
are
in.
We
in
here
in
Annapolis,
are
a
tourism
community
and
so
I
do
think
that
that
needs
to
play
a
role,
and
so
I
will
not
be
for
a
pre-labor
day,
but
I
do
agree.
E
We
need
to
get
that
in
line
and
I
think
if
we
could
formulate
a
version
that
didn't
either
put
us
in
a
disparaging
way
in
August
or
in
June.
It
seems
to
be
one
or
the
other
I
would
be
for
us,
starting
maybe
a
couple
days
before
Labor
Day,
if
we
could
find
other
results,
but
as
as
it
stands
now
and
the
shape
that
we're
in
I'm
going
to
be
a
no
on
this.
But
I
am
supportive
of
some
of
the
other
initiatives.
E
N
N
N
For
me,
it's
a
no-brainer
having
been
there
having
done
that,
I've
also
talked
with
many
of
my
colleagues,
and
so
I
will
be
in
support
of
the
pre-labor
calendar.
I
also
do
support
I
I
think
we
do
need
to
make
sure
that
our
families
can
have
some
stability
and
that's
why
I
would
support
that.
Whatever
calendar,
we
do
approve
that
that
could
be
used
as
a
model
for
a
second
year.
So
we
could
have
a
second
a
two-year
cycle
so
that
people
will
have
the
ability
for
stability.
N
So
that
maybe
we
could
at
some
point
in
time
have
a
post,
Labor,
Day,
calendar
and
I
think
a
lot
of
what
is
going
to
happen.
It
will
depend
upon
our
success
with
the
180
day
issue
that
we
are
going
to
tackle
and
I'm
I'm
I'm,
hoping
we're
going
to
have
success
with
that,
because
that
will
allow
for
the
Innovation
that
we
need,
and
it
will
be
again
in
the
best
interest
of
our
students
and
our
staff.
A
A
We
have
to
be
cognizant
of
when
our
students
need
their
instruction.
Most
I
agree
on
consolidating
the
school
year
and
I
agree
with
Mr
silkworth
that
the
180
day
thing
is
exactly
what
we
need
to
address.
That
I
should
also
say,
however,
with
regard
to
the
district
I
represent
I,
have
families
who
sadly,
cannot
afford
an
education,
a
vacation,
let
alone
camps
for
their
kids.
A
The
length
going
through
Labor
Day
brings
the
summer
vacation
going
through
Labor
Day
brings
actually
great
hardship
and
children
frankly
having
nothing
to
do
while
their
parents
have
to
work,
and
so
I
just
think.
There
are
many
voices
that
we
need
to
listen
to
here,
and
particularly
with
regard
to
the
impact
on
our
children
and
often,
quite
frankly,
our
most
vulnerable
children,
and
so
for
that
reason,
I
will
be
in
support
of
this.
So
MS
shulheim.
C
Thank
you
yeah.
For
me,
this
isn't
about
Labor
Day.
This
is
about
looking
at
our
post,
Labor
Day
calendar
and
looking
at
that
last
week,
that
runs
up
almost
against
July
and
thinking
I.
Don't
I,
don't
want
that
I,
don't
think
I,
don't
think
many
people
in
this
I
know
most
people
in
this
County
don't
want
that.
We
did
put
this
out
for
public
comment
and
it
wasn't
it
wasn't
close
it
was.
C
It
wasn't
50
50
even
with
regards
to
this
particular
calendar
year
now,
I'm,
not
talking
about
you
know
every
year
into
the
future,
Thou
shalt.
You
know
it
must
be
one
way
or
another,
but
for
this
up
for
these
up
for
this
upcoming
year,
when
I
look
at
these
two
options
it,
it
was
clear
for
me
now
from
an
educational
perspective
because
remember
this
is
an
educational
tool,
an
instructional
tool.
C
We
have
to
think
about
our
AP,
our
IB,
our
CTE
certification
tests,
what
which
ones
of
those
are
controlled
by
us
which
ones
of
those
aren't
and
frankly
there
are
a
lot
that
aren't
and
then
we,
what?
What
are
we
saying?
Are
we
saying
that
it's
that
we're
okay
with
them
having
you
know
a
week
or
two
or
more
less,
of
instruction
than
their
than
their
peers
outside
of
this
County
or
outside
of
the
state?
And
so
I
I?
Look
at
this,
as
with
the
with
the
instructional
lens
very
much
and
I.
C
M
H
E
No
I
I'm
I'm
going
to
be
a
name
it
could
I'm
I
I
have
to
I,
have
to
question
something.
Miss
Ellis
had
asked
for
clarification
that
the
motion
was
simply
for
pre-labor
day
and
post-labor
day.
What
you
just
read
is
the
actual
calendar
itself.
So
could
we
get
clarification
on
what
we
are
voting
on
because
I
don't
believe
that
perhaps
at
least
one
member
was
aware
of
that
because
of
the
answer
provided
to
her
and
what
I
just
heard
does
not
is
not
in
alignment.
E
E
D
Okay,
so
when
this
motion
was
made,
I
indicated
that
I
was
concerned.
The
reason
I
said
the
things
I
said
before
the
motion
was
made
was
I
did
not
think
it
was
appropriate
for
this
board
to
a
adopt
a
calendar
without
knowing
what
it
was
going
to
look
like
with
the
Amendments
that
we
knew
were
going
to
be
brought.
But
I
was
comfortable.
I
said
moving
forward
with
this
motion,
because
the
way
it
was
worded
was
a
pre-labor
day
start
or
a
okay.
D
D
I
indicated
the
reason
I
brought
up
the
concern
I
had
about
adopting
a
calendar
and
the
reason
I
was
comfortable.
Moving
forward
with
this
motion.
If
I
misheard
it
I,
should
have
been
corrected.
In
that
moment,
I
indicated
I
was
comfortable
in
moving
forward
with
a
start
date
for
the
school
year
next
year.
I
am
not
comfortable
moving
forward
with
adopting
a
calendar,
so
I
would
change
my
vote.
Okay
had
I
known.
E
If
I
could
just
to,
we
were
given
advance
notice
and
I
honestly
think
that
the
spirit
and
intent
of
us
debating
is
really
to
allow
everybody
to
be
heard.
Miss
Ellis
made
it
perfectly
clear
that
she
had
intended
on
an
amendment
and
that
Amendment
would
affect
all
of
the
dates
on
there,
as
I
had
stated
prior
to
Miss
Ellis.
Raising
her
initial
concern
was
that
I
didn't
understand
why
we
wouldn't
address
the
Amendments
that
were
relevant
to
both
prior
to
and
when
Miss
shawheim
had
placed
her
motion.
E
I
would
have
had
Miss
Ellis,
not
requested
the
clarification
based
on
that
and
I
did
not
hear
the
president,
who
was
our
presiding
officer's
decision
on
my
original
inquiry,
noron
Miss,
Ellis,
and
so
now
we're
in
a
position
where
I
still
don't
know
where
you
know
we
are
now
in
in
limbo.
So
I
would
request
that
our
presiding
officer
confer
as
needed
and
an
address
I.
A
H
H
H
H
H
H
H
H
H
H
H
M
A
D
A
N
A
A
N
M
A
D
So
the
entire
time
I've
been
a
board
member
we've
heard
time
and
time
again
from
families
that
there's
a
lot
of
disruption
in
the
school
year
and
I
mentioned
a
few
minutes
ago.
That
I
would
like
to
see
us
be
able
to
condense
our
calendar
and
find
ways
to
we'll
find
ways
to
condense
it.
But
what
often
comes
up
is
the
number
of
early
dismissal
days
and
I
appreciate
the
work
of
the
calendar
Committee
in
being
able
to
remove
a
few
of
them
in
their
recommended
calendar.
L
D
This
is
what
they're
listed
as
on
on
the
calendar
and
we're
very
well
all
very
aware
that
there
is
professional
development
that
goes
on
on
these
four
afternoons
and
and
we're
also
very
very
aware
from
many
presentations
here,
including
what
was
told
to
us
today
that
this
these
four
afternoons
are
focused
on
equity,
Equity,
focused
professional
development.
My
motion
has
nothing
to
do
with
professional
development.
It
has
to
do
with
the
school
calendar
and
removing
disruptions
in
in
the
in
the
learning
process.
D
For
our
students,
which
to
me,
is
a
big
Equity
issue.
This
motion
does
not
eliminate
professional
development
teachers
that
you
know
professional
development
and
the
scheduling
of
it
is
in
the
in
the
superintendent's
purview
I.
Consider
Equity
to
be
of
utmost
important
for
our
students
and
I
believe
that
this
can
enhance
Equity
I,
believe
it
was
sometime.
D
Last
year,
Mr,
silkworth
and
I
sat
down
in
a
work
group
session
with
many
many
teachers,
some
administrators,
some
some
other
school
staff
to
to
work
with
them
to
see
how
we
can
improve
their
working
conditions,
because
certainly
covid
really
piled
on
the
work
and
made
brought
us
to
a
Breaking
Point.
As
far
as
workload,
issues
for
our
staff
but
workload
concerns
have
not
they're,
not
something
new
they're,
not
simply
because
of
covid.
D
B
You
know
Michelle
Heim
yeah.
This
is
a
an
interesting
topic
to
talk
about
and
one
that
I'm
up
for
having
the
discussion.
I'll
start
off
by
saying
to
Miss
Ellis
I
I
really
do
appreciate
you
number
one
for
letting
me
know,
and
you
didn't
blind
side
me
like
I'm,
bringing
this
motion
up
so
I.
Absolutely
respect
that
I.
Think
at
the
time
when
we
talked
about
this
I
said
hey,
you
know.
B
B
The
complaint
that
I
have
gotten
over
the
years
as
a
as
a
senior
level
administrator
from
teachers
is,
you
guys
do
these
trainings
at
the
very
beginning
of
the
school
year,
and
then
the
complaint
comes
later
hey
then
you
just
left
it
you.
You
know.
You
expect
us
to
know
how
to
do
these
things
and
there's
no
revisiting
of
it.
There's
no
building
on
it.
The
way
that
it's
currently
configured
it
allows
for
us
to
also
have
relevant
real-time
conversations
around
equity
and
some
of
the
happenings
that
occur.
B
We
want
that
to
also
play
out
in
how
we're
conducting
our
training
and
so
I
just
haven't,
had
time
to
get
in
and
evaluate
it
and
to
then
be
able,
with
some
level
of
data,
come
back
and
say:
hey
it's
working
or
it's
not
working
and
I.
Think
I'll
have
an
opportunity
to
to
continue
to
evaluate
that
and
to
make
sure
that
we
do
it.
But
here's
the
other
piece
that
I
have
to
say.
B
We
have
a
board
policy,
one
of
three
priority
recommendations
on
The
Joint
Commission
on
the
opportunity
gap,
which
is
a
partner
with
this
board
in
the
Anne
Arundel
County
government,
is
establishing
a
practice
within
the
Board
of
Education
central
office
and
the
other
participating
political
entities
here
that
we
have
a
documented
Equity
analysis
to
accompany
all
proposed
policies
and
decisions,
and
we
know
that
this
can't
be
done
properly
and
implemented.
If
we're
not
able
to
do
this
professional
development.
It's
very
and
I've
said
this.
B
At
this
point,
many
of
the
days
in
August
are
already
accounted
for,
so
I,
don't
know
how
we
are
able
to
get
this
in
not
having
those
early
dismissal
days.
But
I
think
this
is
a
bigger
conversation
around,
as
we
think
about
the
evolution
of
what
our
actual
calendar
looks
like
that.
We
need
to
explore.
I
too
agree,
Miss
Ellis
that
these
half
days
are
tough
I
have
a
middle
schooler,
and
my
wife
is
like
man.
She's
I
feel
like
every
other
day.
B
She's
got
half
days,
so
I
agree
with
that
I
I
100
percent
do
I.
Just
at
this
point,
it's
difficult
on
me
with
the
limited
knowledge
to
say
that
hey,
we
need
to
try
to
figure
out
how
to
move
these
days
around
without
getting
in
and
doing
my
due
diligence
and
I
I
also
think
that
this
school
district
is
one
of
the
leaders
in
this
work.
B
Just
a
few
years
ago,
the
school
district
105
with
populations
of
20,
000
or
more
received
the
Magna
award
from
the
national
school
boards
Association
in
recognition
of
innovative
programs
that
are
working
to
remove
barriers
to
achievement
for
underserved
and
vulnerable
students,
and
a
lot
of
this
is
based
on
the
work
that
we're
doing.
I
had
an
opportunity
to
sit
in
a
session
on
Thursday
and
watch.
B
But
I
just
want
to
do
my
part
and
be
able
to
get
in
and
see
for
myself
and,
like
I,
said
earlier,
I
invite
any
of
the
board
members
to
go
with
me.
So
we
can
see-
and
we
can
come
back
and
talk
about
the
efficacy
of
what
we're
doing.
Is
it
working
or
is
it?
Is
it
not
working,
and
what
can
we
do
differently?
But
I
think
this
year,
we've
already
removed
three
days,
so
we've
gone
from
15
to
12..
So
we
are
starting
to
cut
back
I.
B
C
C
You
know,
but
I
can't
I
can't
I
can't
make
this
I
can't
support
making
this
kind
of
change
without
you
being
able
to
do
that,
giving
you
some
time
to
to
to
see
what
you
think
what
you
even
think
about
it
and
to
come
back
to
us
with
some
with
some
recommendations,
so
philosophically
I
I
am
in
support
of
this,
but
today
I
can't
vote
in
support
of
this.
If
that
makes
sense,
I
need
to
wait
and
hear
back
from
you.
E
E
E
It
would
benefit
us
to
look
at
this
in
the
multi-year
realm,
as
opposed
to
to
the
contrary,
because
I
really
think
that
I
personally
struggle,
because
I
feel
that
it's
our
calendar
and
we
do
receive
advice
from
a
committee.
But
the
committee
over
the
years,
I
do
not
know,
has
necessarily
all
of
the
stakeholders
that
we
need
to
make.
The
determinations
like
Dr
bedella,
had
pointed
out
and
to
make
sure
that
we
have
that
holistic.
We
should
always
be
evaluating
the
profile
of
of
who
is
advising
us.
E
I
think
that's
a
regular
healthy
course
of
any
institution,
especially
one
our
size,
is
to
make
sure
that
are
all
those
people
being
represented,
that
that's
one-on-one
Equity
lens
and
it
used
to
be
one-on-one,
Common
Sense
back
when
I
was
being
educated,
and
so
not
that
that
is
not
an
everyday
effort
of
one's
entire
life.
But
I
really
do
think
that
this
is
something
better
Suited
good
for
that
future
point
and
I
do
have
a
lot
of
admiration
and
gratitude
towards
my
fellow
member
for
investing
the
time
and
the
efforts
into
it.
E
E
I
think
we're
deciding
on
it
and
I
want
to
go
on
record
for
this
moment
in
time
for
this
particular
calendar
as
amended
not
as
a
we
made
the
decision,
because
that
sometimes
happens
so
I
will
be
a
no
today,
but
I
look
forward
to
supporting
it,
alongside
with
some
other
I
I
think
changes
that
we
can
make.
Definitely
for
the
better
and
I
do
appreciate
the
staff.
I
actually
asked
the
question
prior
to
our
meeting
that
Michelle
Heim
had
asked
and
I
do
know.
E
L
L
I
think
that
it
was
a
really
great
way
to
kind
of
take
feedback
and
put
that
into
a
place
where
it
makes
sense.
And
it's
you
know,
parents
would
Embrace
that
I
mean
you
know,
even
if
they
have
to
find
Child
Care
at
least
they're
like
well
it
it's
overall,
it
still
helps
the
family
Dynamic
right
because
they're
all
going
to
be
out
late
anyway.
L
So
there
are
certain
areas
where,
where
I
do
support
professional
development,
we
have
gotten
a
lot
of
complaints
about
the
half
days
and
I.
Remember
when
we
moved
into
adding
the
half
days,
I
I,
don't
even
remember
exactly
where
all
I
landed
on
some
of
it,
because
I
know
that
it
was
worth
trying
and
and
as
Dr
Bedell
says,
you
know
it's
worth
trying
things
and
if
they
don't
work,
you
don't
do
them.
L
We
have
gotten
a
lot
of
complaints
about
all
of
the
half
days,
I'm
glad
that
we
got
rid
of
some
I
do
want
to
get
rid
of
more.
We
had
a
couple
of
comments
in
in
some
of
the
other
emotions
earlier
about
the
educational
and
the
instructional
lens,
but
I'm,
not
an
educator
I'm.
A
parent
and
I
ran
for
this
board
as
a
parent
to
represent
people
in
my
community
and
what
parents
want
is
more
stability
in
their
calendar
and
especially
with
the
the
direction
that
we
are
going
today.
G
It
is
because
I
am
a
driven
person
by
this
little
thing
called
a
calendar.
Everybody
wants
you
to
stick
to
it.
We
plan
our
life
around
it
right
and
parents
to
rightfully
so
plan
their
work
schedule
around
it.
What
I
find
myself
kind
of
conflicted
with
is
two
things
so
eight
hours
of
professional
development
for
the
superintendent
to
train
his
staff
on
things
that
are
important,
that's
he's
been
directed
to
make
sure
that
they
are
trained
on
and
Equity
is
one
of
them.
G
So
the
professional
development
lends,
if
you
just
stick
with
professional
development,
has
got
to
be
done
now.
He
was
kind
enough
to
say
he'll
get
it
done
as
he's
put
in
his
email,
but
the
question
is:
if
I
am
right,
they
should
be
done
during
the
duty
hour
when
the
educator
is
there
not
after
hours,
not
on
some
spare
time,
not
a
made-up.
It
should
be
part
of
the
schedule
and
the
schedule
is
public,
so
that's
one.
G
The
second
one
is:
is
that
the
eight
hours
that
is
specifically
laid
out
targets
the
days
that
we're
doing
professional
development
for
equity
that
becomes
problematic
when
there
there
are
to
our
early
dismissals,
almost
every
month
and
every
calendar,
so
what
I'm
par?
What
I
disagree
with
is
the
targeted
of
the
dates
I
think
that
if
we
are
being
fair
and
not
just
because
Dr
Bedell
is
his
superintendent,
but
because
of
professional
development,
it
can't
be
us.
G
G
G
I
do
know
that
Equity
is
important
to
everyone.
That's
sitting
on
this
board.
I
do
know
that
Equity
is
important
to
this
entire
staff.
What
I,
don't
know
is
whether
we
put
Equity
at
on
our
list
of
things
to
do
when
it
comes
to
the
calendar.
I
I,
don't
know
where
we
put
that
at
and
so
what
I'm
suggesting,
rather
than
go
down
this
road
of,
are
we
talking
about
equity?
G
Are
we
talking
about
professional
development,
or
are
we
talking
about
not
disrupting
the
do
the
day,
the
student's
day
that
we
Define?
That
thing
that
we're
really
talking
about
and
I?
Don't
think
that
we've
done
that
just
for
because
it's
not
fair
to
go
back
to
the
calendar
committee
and
say
we're
just
going
to
remove
those
days,
because
the
next
step
is
what
do
we
put
to
professional
development
because
there's
a
domino
effect
to
every
decision
that
we
make
so
I'm
I'm
asking
that
we
be
transparent
about?
G
C
C
A
Thank
you
I'd
like
to
say
a
couple
of
things
and
then
Miss
Ellis.
You
will
have
the
final
word.
So
a
couple
of
thoughts,
I
I
believe
that
we
need
to
give
Dr
Bedell
the
opportunity
to
make
a
considered
decision
on
this.
We
hired
him
because
we
trusted
his
ability
to
lead
the
system.
I
think
we
should
let
him
make
that
decision
and
because
to
Ms
dense
point,
it's
not
just
taking
something
out.
It's.
A
Where
do
you
put
it
back
and
you
know
doing
that
right
now,
he's
not
in
a
good
position,
I
think,
as
he
has
stated,
to
make
that
decision.
I
have
no
doubt
he
would
pivot.
If
he
had
to
I
know
he
will
but
I
I,
don't
think
that's
a
wise
decision
for
this
system
and
for
us
to
ask
of
the
superintendent
we've.
Just
hired
I
also
want
to
say
a
word
about
professional
development
in
general.
A
Some
of
you
know
that,
as
part
of
my
day,
job
I
lead
accreditation
teams,
evaluating
public
charter
networks
around
the
country
and
I
have
for
a
decade
or
so
the
ability
to
have
good
professional
development
and,
as
Dr
Bedell
has
said,
have
it
not
simply
as
a
you
know,
fire
hose
at
the
beginning
of
the
year
or
something
but
really
woven
into
the
year
is
often
one
of
the
defining
factors
in
the
Excellence
of
a
school
system,
and
this
is
for
a
couple
of
reasons.
First
of
all,
it's
it's
pretty
obvious.
A
You
you're
you're,
continually
refining
the
practice
of
your
teachers,
but,
secondly,
of
all
it's
a
huge
recruitment
team
tool.
When
you
do
it
well,
I
know
plenty
of
teachers
who
have
moved
from
one
system
to
another,
largely
on
the
basis
of
whether
or
not
they
believe
they
are
working
in
a
system
that
is
growing
them
as
practitioners,
and
so
while
from
a
parental
perspective
and
I
certainly
have
been
a
parent
in
this
system.
A
A
A
I
trust
Dr
Bedell,
to
determine
how
best
to
do
that,
as
he
said,
to
determine
whether
or
not
this
is
a
value-add
and
if
it
isn't,
how
do
we
make
it?
So
if
it
is
great
and
so
I
will
not
be
in
support
of
this
motion,
however,
I
do
believe.
I
said
this
before
there
are
problems
with
that
with
early
dismissals,
I
believe
the
the
discussion
we
had
previously
about
our
legislative
priorities
begins
to
get
at
one
of
the
core
things.
A
That's
getting
in
our
way,
and
finally,
I
will
say
here
is
the
danger,
the
biggest
danger,
in
my
view,
of
the
rigidity
of
our
calendar.
Broadly,
with
regard
to
the
constraints
around
things
like
how
many
days
our
students
are
far
from
dumb,
they
know
when
they're
sitting
in
school,
just
because
somebody
said
so
on
a
rule
book
versus
when
they're
there,
because
they
need
to
be
there
and
the
biggest
danger
we
face.
I
believe
as
educators
is
having
children
twig
at
some
point.
A
That
most
of
this
is
somehow
busy
work,
because
then
you
lose
them
so
I'm
all
for
an
authentically,
determined
calendar
I,
think
that
has
to
come
from
Dr,
bedell's
analysis,
I,
think
Dr
Bedell
has
hurt
us
loud
and
clear.
I
congratulate
the
calendar
committee
on
reducing
the
number
of
half
days,
thus
far.
I
hope
this
trend
will
continue
with
their
efforts
and
with
our
legislative
efforts
and,
and
so
that
are
those
are
my
thoughts
on
this
Miss
Ellis.
D
Thank
you,
I'm,
going
to
start
out
by
saying
my
colleague,
who
I
truly
love,
dearly
I,
feel
questioned
my
motivation
here,
implying
that
I,
don't
like
the
content
of
the
PD,
so
I'm
trying
to
eliminate
them.
Saying
pretend
we're
not
talking
about
the
content
of
the
PD
when
we
are
I
made
the
point
out
the
gate
that
this
is
not
about
the
content
of
the
PD
and
I
contend
that
these
early
dismissals
create
an
equity
issue.
D
I
I,
don't
think
I
would
expect
you
to
have
any
other
opinion
than
you
do
right
now,
because
you
are
assessing
and
and
and
I
know,
you
are
very,
very
yeah,
you're
you're,
very
astute
too,
like
you,
I
I
can
see
that
you
can
look
at
a
situation
pretty
quickly
pick
up
on.
You
know
where
the
issues
are
so
I
I
have
every
faith
in
that
and
I
appreciate
that.
D
D
D
I
know
that
this
is.
This
is
good
for
our
students
to
have
less
disruption.
Dr
Bedell
mentioned
kindness,
acceptance
and
inclusion.
These
should
be
expected
at
all
times
and
should
not
require
extensive
training
to
treat
others
as
we
want
to
be
treated.
That
should
be
a
daily
expectation
and,
and
we
shouldn't
accept
any
less.
D
D
D
You
know
psychologically,
certainly
in
the
student's
mind
a
day
for
learning
and
finally,
while
I
appreciate
board
members
turning
to
her
superintendent
for
for
his
recommendation,
the
calendar
again
is
the
board's
decision
and
there's
there
should.
There
should
be
PD
happening
throughout
the
school
year.
I
think
the
time
to
dive
deep
into
these
topics
is
before
the
students
are
in
the
classroom.
Thank
you.
G
It's
not
Miss
Ellis
I
just
want
to
be
clear
that
it
is
not
my
intent
to
think
that
you
are
targeting
professional
development.
It
is
the
fact
that
the
dates
that
are
called
out
are
the
professional
development
days
for
Equity.
So
my
concern
is
that
your
objective
at
the
conversation,
was
to
get
rid
of
some
of
the
early
dismissal
days
to
avoid
the
disruption.
G
However,
when
you
start
calling
out
the
calendar
specific
dates,
those
dates
address
equity,
which
is
why
everybody's
talking
about
equity
on
this
diet.
So
my
point
is
not
to
single
you
out.
My
point
is:
is
that
the
conversation
came
up
about
Equity
only
because
everyone
knows
that
those
are
the
equity
days.
So,
in
fact,
when
you
add
that
to
the
motion,
that
is
the
piece
that
derails
the
conversation
and
and
starts
the
conversation
down
this
path.
G
If
we
are
just
talking
about
getting
rid
of
early
dismissal,
as
I
told
you
before,
I
support
that
what
I
am
concerned
about
and
remain
concerned
about
is
the
dates.
That's
in
the
motion,
which
is
what
concerns
me,
because
those
dates
Target
professional
development
that
is
toward
equity,
which
means
they
have
to
be
baked
somewheres
else.
So
it
is
not
just
to
imply
as
I
well
know
that
you
more
than
care
about
equity,
it
is
simply
to
say
that
those
dates
does
Target,
that
that
that's
where
I
was
going
with
that.
G

Real
quick,
you
know
so
Miss
Dent
pointed
out
a
good
point
that
if
I
had
addressed
the
other
days
up
front,
it
would
completely
explain
my
line
of
thinking,
which
is
that
we
can't
touch
and
I
don't
care.
If
it's
I
mean
whether
it's
contractual
or
not,
teachers
need
time
they
need
to
time
to
transition
between
quarters.
I,
don't
consider
those
as
something
we
can
touch.
That
only
leaves
four
other
days
for
other
early
dismissal
days
on
the
calendar.
It
has
nothing
to
do
with
the
content
of
PD.
Thank.
C
So
I
have
a
question
for
you,
Madam
president,
because
we
changed
the
the
wording
of
the
motion
that
I
do.
We
have
to
go
back
and
formally
approve
okay,
so
here
here's
what
I'm
going
to
do
all
right.
So
I'm
going
to
read
the
motion
that
I
I
moved
at
this
board:
adopt
the
pre-labor
day
calendar
for
the
2023-2024
school
year,
as
recommended
by
the
calendar
committee.
G
E
E
A
N
N
A
D
I
support
the
need
for
consistency,
I,
don't
think
we're
in
a
place
yet
where
we
can
do
this,
because
we
have
already
it's
already
in
our
legislative
program
that
we
may
be
adopting
at
our
next
meeting
to
seek
some
flexibility
in
our
calendar
from
the
state
so
I.
We
don't
know
enough
about
what
that's
going
to
look
like
and
what
we'll
be
able
to
work
with
so
I
feel
like
right
now
we're
working
on
a
year-by-year
basis
until
we
hopefully
get
to
a
place
where
we
want
to
be
in
the
future.
E
So
I
will
be
supporting
this
motion.
We've
talked
about
this
and
I
got
to
say
as
a
parent
who's
lived
under
multi-year
and
under
year
by
year,
I
I
am
in
always
in
preference
of
the
multi-year.
Recognizing
I
mean
we're
adjusting
whether
we're
year
by
year
or
multi-year
anyways
for
a
whole
host
of
reasons
that
come
up
I
mean
who
would
have
thought
that
all
of
a
sudden
executive
order
would
come
up.
E
You
know
that
led
us
to
have
to
change
our
June
profile
of
our
calendar
following
a
post-labor
day,
executive
order
and
so
having
that
agility.
Of
course,
I
don't
see
it.
Diminishing
I
would
like
to
ask,
though,
in
the
past-
and
this
is
where
welcome
Dr
Bedell
so
to
speak.
I'm
not
really
sure
how
you
feel
about
things
as
such,
as
I
had
indicated
in
in
our
earlier
conversation
and
deliberation
on
these
matters.
That
I
think
are
our
survey
of
thing
and
and
to
be
clear,
I.
E
These
are
also
tiresome
Endeavors
as
it
relates
to
staff
intensity
and
then
ensuring
we
get
the
feedback
and
then
the
follow-up,
so
I
would
ask
if
there's
an
interest
here
and
how
you
feel
about
us,
maybe
asking
or
right
now.
It's
just
me
asking
of
course,
but
that
there
is
value
enough
in
there
for
and
and
then
how
would
you
prefer
to
proceed
if
you
concur
at
or
in
part
or
with
that
idea,.
E
I
would
also
argue
that,
likewise,
if,
if
it
takes
more
than
one
session
to
get
that
adopted-
which
sometimes
it
unfortunately
does
that
we
would
be
by
by
still
following
through
with
such
a
survey
and
collection
of
data,
engage
and
Community
engagement
as
appropriate
that
we
would
also
strengthen
our
position
for
subsequent
years.
If
the
let
if
the
GSA
was
hesitating
a
little
bit
on
that.
So
it
sounds
like
we're.
E
A
I,
so
my
my
immediate
sense
is
that
this
is
something
that
we
simply
need
to
have
further
conversation
with
Dr
Bedell
about
I
mean
everything
I've
seen
from
Dr
badal
I
think
all
of
us
have
seen
is.
He
is
very
committed
to
getting
public
input
in
every
possible
way,
and
so
I
would
again
suggest
that
Dr
Bedell
you've
heard
the
concerns
today
and.
A
A
E
No
I'm
fine
with
that
I
just
didn't
want
to
miss
an
opportunity
there
if
we
needed
to
to
do
any
instruct.
Thank
you
so
very
much
for
taking
an
extra
couple
minutes
to
address
that
I
think
in
the
long
run
that
that
is
time
well
invested
in
us,
making
it
perfectly
clear
to
our
constituency
that
we
have
an
interest
in
wanting
to
work
with
them.
Not
just
here
hear
from
them
in
moments
of
time.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
both
your.
L
Yes,
so
I
just
to
the
motion
maker
I
wanted
some
clarity
on
this
I
move
that
the
board
begin.
The
school
calendar
adoption
process
two
years
in
advance,
but
there's
no
definitive
date
on
it,
so
I
mean
I
do
want
to
commit
to
some
stability.
I,
keep
saying
that
I,
I,
honestly
do
and
and
I
do
want
a
two-year
calendar
I
think
that
that's
needed
and
I
think
that
would
really
help
a
lot
of
folks
in
in
managing
their
lives
with
with
the
calendar
that
we
would
give
in
advance.
L
I
do
want
to
wait
to
develop
the
next
year's
calendar
until
we
under
the
the
subsequent
calendar.
Until
we
understand
what
the
legislative
body
brings
back
to
us,
but
the
way
that
I
am
reading
this,
those
two
things
could
still
be
accomplished,
because
this
does
not
have
a
start
date.
So
if
we
say
hey
we're
not
there
yet
we're
not
ready
to
start
the
two-year
calendar,
we
can
still
pause
that
correct,
correct,
okay,
all
right,
but
then
I
do
support
this
motion.
C
It
doesn't
put
limitations
on
it,
it
just
it
just
we
just
sort
of
declare
our
intent
that
that
I
mean
we're
already
late
on
that
anyway,
because
we're
doing
but
that
you
know
next
year,
we'll
have
two
before
us.
We
hope
we
could
have
the
the
one
the
the
second
year
out,
one
later
this
coming
year
in
the
spring,
for
example,
it
just
gives
us
now
we
now
have
a
place
to
start
from,
and-
and
you
know
it
begins-
the
the
that
process.
Okay,.
C
F
Motion
I
just
have
on
a
day,
that's
probably
been
confusing
for
folks
who
are
watching
and
just
to
try
to
eliminate
any
confusion.
Let
me
just
ask
it
this
way:
should
the
board
pass
this
motion,
it
doesn't
my
understanding
is.
It
does
not
launch
the
two-year
calendar
creation
process.
Is
that
correct.
D
L
C
C
B
I'm,
sorry
yeah
it
will.
You
will
begin
the
process,
so
we
already
have
that
ability
now
to
start
moving
forward
with
the
process
of
engaging,
because
this
is
a
fundamental
change,
potentially
in
the
mindset
of
what
a
school
calendar
could
look
like
and
that
is
going
to
require
a
lot
of
Engagement.
So
it's
not
one
of
those
deals
like
as
soon
as
the
bill
passes.
Now
overnight,
we're
gonna,
you
know
be
able
to
Pivot
to
these
other
calendar
options.
There's
significant
engagement
that
will
have
to
take
place
so
yeah.
F
I
C
I
mean
it.
It
would
be
nothing
shy
of
a
miracle
to
get
something
through
in
one
session,
though
I
hope
it
will,
but
it
happens
so
I,
don't
I,
don't
think
the
motion
locks
us
into
any
particular
time
frame
or
or
deadline
or
period
of
any
kind.
There's
nothing
listed
in
the
motion
that
would
indicate
this
