You
know
for
many
people
this
is
the
season
of
Lent
time
to
set
aside
something
important
to
them,
to
think
about
the
sufferings
that
Christ
had
for
for
us
and
how
Christ
suffered
to
give
us
such
a
great
salvation
and
it's
to
him
that
we
owe
glory
and
honor
and
thanks
and
to
ask
his
provision
for
us.
So
let's
go
to
the
Lord
in
prayer,
father
God.
B
We
thank
you
so
much
that
we
can
come
together
and
Lord
to
have
these
proceedings
dealing
with
the
things
going
on
in
our
County
and
among
our
citizens.
Lord.
We
pray
for
your
guidance
for
your
spirit
to
be
here
to
lead
to
provide
to
protect
and
Lord.
We
pray
for
Calvert
County.
We
pray
that
you
continue
to
support
the
people
who
live
here.
Lord
lead
us
into
prosperity
and
Lord
continue
to
provide
for
us
Lord.
We
remember
those
who
do
not
have
for
those
who
are
suffering
Lord.
B
A
A
To
approve
second
have
a
motion,
a
second
that
we
approve
the
agenda
as
presented
in
the
discussion
motion
hearing.
None
all
those
in
favor,
say
aye
aye,
opposed
motion
carries
the
next
item
on
the
agenda.
Is
public
service
announcements
I
mentioned
this
last
week.
It
seems
like
all
we
do
is
give
out
condolences
at
our
meetings.
It's
a
very
unfortunate,
but
last
week
we
lost
Tom
Crockett
of
North
Beach,
who
was
a
previous
council
member
and
a
business
owner
there
for
more
than
40
years.
A
So
we
want
to
extend
our
condolences
to
the
family
of
Tom
Crockett.
Also
March
8th
is
international
women's
day,
so
tomorrow,
Nations
around
the
world
are
going
to
celebrate
International
women's
day
to
honor
the
achievements
of
women
and
girls
from
all
walks
of
life
and
the
unique
challenges
they
face
most
notably
here
in
Calvert
County.
A
We
have
Harriet
Elizabeth
Brown,
who
is
a
Coward
County
school
teacher
who
in
1937
fought
and
won
equal
pay
for
teachers
of
color
Margaret
Dunkle,
who
created
Title
IX
the
1972
Landmark
legislation
that
prohibits
sex
discrimination
in
schools
and
colleges
and
receive
federal
funding
for
Margaret.
She
in
the
audience.
Today
sometimes
she
joins
us.
A
Margaret
remains
an
active
member
in
Calvert
County,
and
most
of
you
will
see
her
she's
very
active
trying
to
get
the
Harriet
Brown
Center
built
Community
Center
built
in
Prince
Frederick,
and
we
also
have
Mary
W
Jackson,
who
taught
math
at
the
former
William
Sampson
Brooks
High
School
to
African
American
students
in
Calvert,
County
and
later
went
on
to
become
the
first
African-American
female
NSA
NASA
engineer.
So
on
this
Saturday
March
11th,
the
women
of
the
world
celebration
will
be
held.
Virtually
it
is
from
11
A.M
to
2
p.m.
A
E
My
name
is
Taylor
Morton
I'm,
the
sports
assistant
coordinator
with
Calvert
County,
Parks
and
Recreation.
March
is
good
sportsmanship
month
and
today
I'm
here
to
recognize
two
important
people
who
support
our
community
and
programs
and
the
people
that
I
brought
with
me
today
are
Shannon
and
Luke.
Crandall
and
I
would
like
to
say
a
few
words
about
them.
E
C
E
Their
dedication
to
the
Youth
of
Calder
County
far
exceeds
what
is
asked
of
any
volunteer.
They
both
do
an
incredible
job,
implementing
the
fundamentals
and
mental
toughness
of
soccer
while
having
fun
at
the
same
time.
Shannon
and
Luke
are
at
every
game
coaching
and
supporting
no
children
and
their
children's
teammates.
Despite
the
outcome,
they
both
always
have
a
supportive
attitude
and
display
good
sportsmanship
throughout
the
whole
season.
Calvert
County,
Parks
and
Recreation
sincere
sincere
sincerely
thanks
you
both
for
supporting
our
programs
and
modeling
good
sportsmanship
each
and
every
year.
Thank
you
thank.
C
D
So
we
thank
you
for
what
you
do
each
and
every
day
and
sportsmanship
is
a
big
deal
on
and
off
the
field.
So
we
we
definitely
appreciate
what
you
do
so
I
have
a
proclamation
here
and
it
reads
as
it
goes,
whereas
the
state
of
Maryland
and
Calvert
County
recognize
the
sports
are
a
major
social
force
and
influence
America
culture
and
Maryland
families,
and
whereas
being
involved
in
sports,
including
coaches
players
and
fans
of
all
levels,
should
promote
good,
sportsmanship
and
Foster.
D
The
development
and
positive
characteristic
physical
fitness
and
positive
personal
growth,
and
whereas
the
elements
of
sportsmanship
reflect
crucial
life
skills
that
will
help
players
Thrive
throughout
their
education.
A
strong
sense
of
character
and
collaboration
can
also
prepare
them
for
the
workplace
and
whereas
sportsmanship
can
combat
bulletin
and
promote
inclusion
in
providing
a
safe
and
healthy
environment.
Where
player,
there's
value,
respect,
fairness,
Integrity
responsibility
and
perseverance,
and
whereas
frosting
committed
to
these
qualities
on
the
playing
field
and
can
prevent
harassment
and
reduce
instances
of
concussions
and
other
injuries.
Now,
therefore,
be
a
proclaimed.
D
The
board
of
County
Commissioners
that
on
March
23rd
be
observed
as
good
sportsmanship
month
in
Calvert
County.
We
have
further
proclaimed
that
all
citizens
are
encouraged
to
always
promote
fair
play,
good
equity
and
good
character
within
the
community,
both
in
and
out
of
sports
given
under
the
hands
of
sea
of
the
seventh
day
of
March
2023,
signed
by
all
five
Commission.
Thank

I
L
First
of
all,
Commissioners
we
want
to
thank
you
for
your
support
of
the
of
this
particular
month.
We
know
we
cannot
do
the
work
that
we
do
without
your
support.
We
understand
that.
Thank
you
for
giving
us
the
privilege
of
working
with
individuals
with
developmental
disabilities.
We
appreciate
it
very
much
thankful
for
our
staff.
We
have
a
couple
staff
members
here
from
The
Office
on
Aging,
with
Angela
Neno
who's
in
the
trenches
every
day,
right
in
front
of
us
here,
working
with
them
side
by
side.
L
We
have
someone
else
who
is
at
the
Copper
Pine
senior
center,
now
Crystal
Jones
who's
at
the
senior
center
working
with
them.
Now
in
the
trenches
and
their
supervisor,
Tonya
Taylor.
We
appreciate
her
leadership.
I
appreciate
Jennifer
Moreland.
Thank
you,
Jennifer
for
your
leadership
and
County
Administrator
Willis,
but
Commissioners.
Thank
you.
So
much
just
I
know
it's
not
just
us.
It's
not
just
us.
There
are
Community
Partners
such
as
the
Arc
of
Southern
Maryland
such
as
Southern
Maryland,
community
Network.
L
So
we
know
we're
not
the
only
ones
in
the
work,
but
we
are
in
the
work,
and
we
thank
you
for
your
great
support
to
allow
us
to
do
what
we
do.
This
young
lady
here
Marilyn
volunteers,
at
our
centers,
along
with
other
ones.
You
know
serving
lunch,
you
know
brightening
our
day.
We
get
to
love
on
them
and
we
have
the
privilege
of
having
them
love
on
us
as
well,
so
Commissioners.
Thank
you
for
your
support
of
this
Proclamation.
L
I
Noting
challenges
remain
in
providing
full
inclusion
and,
whereas
developmental
disabilities
awareness
month
is
a
time
to
celebrate
the
many
contributions
people
with
developmental
disabilities,
make
to
our
society
and
to
recognize
the
efforts
made
to
achieve
a
culture
of
meaningful
and
full
inclusion
in
all
facets
of
community
life
and
whereas,
through
awareness
and
Outreach,
to
identify
barriers
and
develop
Solutions.
The
idea
of
true
inclusion
and
integration
can
become
a
reality
and
highlight
the
principle
that
everyone
benefits
when
people
with
and
without
disabilities
live,
learn
and
earn
together
in
a
community.
I
Now,
therefore,
be
it
proclaimed
by
the
board
of
County
commissioners
of
Calvert
County
that
the
month
of
March
is
known
as
developmental
disabilities.
Awareness
Month,
be
it
further
proclaimed
that
by
this
action
it
be
known
the
many
ways
people
with
and
without
developmental
disabilities,
come
together
to
form
strong
in
diverse
communities
given
learned
his
hands
and
seal
the
seventh
day
of
March
2023.
I
G
M
O
And
whereas
Calvert
Meals
on
Wheels
has
provided
meals
to
the
homebound
for
over
40
years.
Thanks
to
the
local
citizens
who
have
volunteered
their
time
to
deliver
meals
to
our
most
vulnerable
senior
citizen
and
whereas
the
Calvert
County
Office
on
Aging
is
positively
impacting
our
community
and
its
senior
residents
by
serving
15
428
meals
to
older
adults.
L
Well,
once
again,
Commissioners
thank
you:
Ed
Sullivan
division,
chief
of
The
Office
on
Aging.
Thank
you
for
the
proclamation
and
recognizing,
first
of
all,
the
Meals
on
Wheels
volunteers.
We
have
President
of
of
the
meals
and
wheel
Cheryl
Hanley
here
and
there's
dozens
of
Volunteers
in
the
community
who
are
delivering
meals,
they're
doing
it
today,
and
you
heard
the
numbers
that
commissioner
Grasso
mentioned,
we're
thankful
for
our
volunteers.
We
certainly
could
use
some
more
Meals
on
Wheels
volunteers,
but
we're
so
thankful
for
them.
L
Christie
Oliva
oversees
our
congregate
meal
program
inside
our
senior
centers
Patty
Ryan
overseas
works
with
Cheryl
on
the
Meals
on
Wheels
program.
We
have
staff
who
are
working
today
to
serve
meals.
We
have
substitutes,
who
I'm
not
going
to
mention
all
of
them,
but
we
appreciate
our
substitutes
and
our
staff,
who
are
working
so
hard
to
do
to
provide
this
service
Commissioners.
Thank
you
for
supporting
us
and
giving
us
the
opportunity
to
do
what
we
do.
We
know
it's
a
privilege
to
be
here
and
we
thank
you
for
it.
R
J
J
R
You
know
and
but
yeah
I
already
told
Carolyn
I
see
because
you
retire
one
day,
I'm
like
I'm
doing
Meals
on
Wheels,
but
I,
but
you
gotta
give
me
a
special
exception.
P
A
So
I
will
put
in
an
extra
plug
beside
commissioner
Hart.
You
know,
meals
and
wheels
could
use
some
volunteers
and
it's
it's
not
just
about
volunt
delivering
a
meal.
It's
about
sometimes
you're
the
only
connection
for
these
citizens
to
the
outside
world
and,
as
commissioner
Hart
said,
he
can't
he
probably
could
only
handle
two
because
he
talked
forever.
R
R
A
If
you
do
have
some
free
time
and
you're
looking
for
a
worthy
cause,
they
would
love
to
have
you
volunteer
with
Meals
on
Wheels
to
help
our
seniors,
who
are
Homebound
and
need
some
socialization
besides
a
good
meal,
so
we
appreciate
any
help
we
can
get
with
that.
That
brings
us
to
appointments
Deputy,
Administrator
versallo.
G
Good
morning,
Commissioners,
you
have
two
rounds
of
appointments
this
morning.
The
first
one
is
for
the
veteran
affairs
Commission
and
staff's
requesting
that
the
board,
no
no
you're
fine.
The
staff
is
requesting
that
you
appoint
Mr
John
Gray
as
American
Legion,
Post
220
is
representative
and
I.
Believe
Mr
Gray
is
in
the
room.
A
G
G
A
R
A
Q
Executive
Administrative
Assistant,
with
Department
of
Human
Resources
here
today,
as
the
employee
recognition
committee
assistant
Awards
coordinator,
to
introduce
two
awards.
First
Calvert
County
government's
March
2023
employee
of
the
month,
the
employee
of
the
month
award
acknowledges
individual
Excellence
for
Superior
job
performance
or
special
efforts
in
the
following
areas:
effectiveness
of
public
contact,
respect
for
some
fellow
employees,
quality
and
or
quantity
of
work
contributions
toward
improving
organizational
morale
and
actions
that
improve
the
County's
Public
Image
and
not
insignificantly.
They
become
eligible
for
employee
of
the
year.
Anyone
can
nominate
a
co-worker
for
this
award.
Q
Q
Just
a
minute
all
right,
Brenda
went
above
and
beyond
to
keep
Calvary
County
public
transportation
service
running.
During
and
after
code,
the
coveted
shutdowns
Brenda
often
changed
her
hours
at
a
moment's
notice
to
fill
in
wherever
she
was
needed
to
keep
the
routes
running.
She
filled
in
every
day
on
different
runs
during
a
year-long
driver
shortage.
She
arrives
at
work
with
a
smile.
She's
got
one
here
today
and
ready
to
face
whatever
comes
at
her
that
day
without
complaint.
She
also
helps
out
in
the
office
when
needed.
Q
She
takes
buses
out
of
the
county
for
repairs
and
returns
to
pick
them
up
when
the
repairs
are
done,
she
cheerfully
does
whatever
is
needed,
always
offers
to
help.
If
she
sees
anything
that
can
be
done
to
make
the
day
go
more
smoothly,
she
shows
up
early
and
is
ready
to
start
her
day,
no
matter
what
schedule
she's
on.
She
constantly
ask
for
opportunities
to
learn
something
new.
U
H
U
U
S
R
So
I
just
asked
how
many
years
so
seven
years
so
before
I
present
this
to
you
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
on
behalf
of
all
of
us,
and
you
know
it
was
a
good
point
when
covet
hit.
That's
all
that
dominated
the
news.
People
were
afraid
to
go
outside.
Remember
people
were
washing
down
packages,
they
didn't
want
to
walk
inside
the
house.
There
was
so
much
information
out
there.
You
didn't
know
what
to
do.
Those
buses
had
to
keep
going.
That
is
the
lifeline.
R
Doctor's
appointments,
grocery
store,
I
mean
basic
things.
It's
that
some
people
just
either
they
they
can't
do
they
don't
have
the
means
to
do,
and
you
know
it's
so
much
more
than
even
you
just
get
in
there.
They
know
your
first
name
basis.
You
know,
there's
people,
you
know
that
they
have
a
little
difficulty
with
this.
It's
so
personal,
it's
not
just
you
know,
and
so
just
can't.
Thank
you
enough
for
all
that
and
like
since
it
no
complaints.
You
know
when
there
was
people
complaining
about
everything
you
know
zero.
Y
H
Q
Q
Q
Each
year
the
ERC
provides
an
opportunity
for
All
County
staff
to
provide
feedback
on
the
candidates,
not
a
vote
per
se,
but
a
chance
for
co-workers
to
share
additional
additional
insight
into
the
character
and
performance
of
the
candidates.
When
making
this
decision,
the
ERC
considers
the
extent
of
the
impact
on
Calvert
County
government
and
also
the
community
as
a
whole.
So
first
a
little
background.
Calvert
County's
share
Calvert
County
Sheriff's
Office
sworn
personnel
are
mandated
by
the
Maryland
police
training
commission
to
receive
18
hours
of
in-service
training
annually.
Q
In
years
past,
this
task
has
been
accomplished
over
a
two-day
period
with
an
in-person
training
at
the
southern
Maryland
Criminal
Justice
Academy
Academy,
located
in
nanjamoy
Maryland.
That's
a
hundred
and
six
mile
round
trip
in
2022
Sheriff's,
Office
Personnel
assigned
to
the
academy,
contacted
our
2022
employee
of
the
year
and
ask
about
the
possibility
of
delivering
a
portion
of
the
training
online
through
ccg's
learning
management
system.
Neogov.
Q
This
employee
coordinated
that
effort,
which
resulted
in
significant
savings
to
the
county
because
of
the
reduction
in
overtime
for
training
and
shift
coverage,
decreased
travel
expenses
and
reduced
expenses
for
classroom
materials.
It's
also
it
also
cut
down
on
time,
spent
tracking
inputting
and
recording
training
hours.
The
virtual
training
option
also
allows
deputies
to
complete
the
self-paced
training
during
their
work
day
in
their
vehicles,
while
maintaining
a
visible
presence
in
the
county.
So
now,
let's
meet
Calvert
County
government's
2022
employee
of
the
year,
Lisa
viverette.
Q
Lisa
is
a
human
resources
analyst,
so,
to
recap:
the
positive
impact
of
Lisa's
efforts.
Thanks
to
her
expert
assistance
and
software
proficiency,
the
sheriff's
office
is
able
to
meet
training
requirements
in
a
more
efficient
and
cost-effective
manner,
while
in-person
training
cannot
be
totally
eliminated.
The
use
of
neogov
has
eliminated
a
full
day
of
travel,
Lisa's
ability
to
to
create

this

from
the

her

describe
Lisa's

She
accomplished
these
tasks
before
and
after
her

meet

Lisa
worked
tirelessly
to

We
cannot
thank
her
enough
for
her
unwavering
support.
The
Sheriff's
Office
and
the
southern
Maryland
Criminal
Justice
Academy
sincerely
appreciate
the
dedication
and
support
she's.
Given
us
I'm
sure
Lisa
would
never
ask
for
this
or
appreciation.
However,
it
is
much
deserved.
Q
On
a
personal
level,
it
has
been
my
privilege
to
work
with
Lisa
for
my
entire
career
with
County
government.
Anyone
that's
ever
gone
to
lease
of
her
assistance
knows
that
her
response
time
is
measured
in
seconds
and
her
positive
cheerful
attitude
is
a
constant
I'm
convinced
that
she
keeps
a
caulk
gun
at
the
ready,
because
things
just
do
not
fall
through
the
cracks
when
you're
working
with
Lisa.
So
the
ERC
is
more
than
delighted
to
join
the
board
of
County
Commissioners
in
recognizing
this
remarkable
co-worker
Thank.

Good
morning,
Commissioners
I'm
Brent
Parrott,
with
the
Sheriff's
Office
Sheriff
Cox,
would
like
to
pass
on
his
sincerest
appreciation
for
your
work
with
this
project,
as
well
as
congratulations
for
being
nominated
and
rewarded
with
the
employee
of
the
year.
The
the
write-up
hit
the
nail
on
the
head.
We've
been
exploring
this
option
for
years
in
commissioner
Ireland
can
attest
to
this.
Z
This
is
a
benefit
to
not
only
the
deputies
but
the
County
government
as
a
whole,
because
we
don't
have
to
worry
about
so
much
as
cost
savings
when
we're
sending
Personnel
all
the
way
up
to
the
west
side
of
Charles
County
to
attend
a
full
day
training,
it's
fuel
savings
over
time,
scheduling
conflicts.
All
that
is
mitigated
by
just
this
one
course
in
Neo,
gov
and
hopefully
moving
forward.
Z
We
can
expound
upon
this
a
little
bit
more
and
and
have
a
little
broader
range
of
training
for
our
deputies
and
maybe
even
County
government
as
a
whole,
but
not
only
for
this
project
Lisa,
but
I've
known
you
for
a
long
time.
You're,
a
tenured
employee
with
this
with
the
County
government,
you're
well
respected,
and
your
work
ethic
is
beyond
our
approach
so
personally
and
for
the
men
and
women,
the
Sheriff's
Office.
Congratulations.
P
Good
morning,
I'm
Melanie
Woodson,
the
Human
Resources
Director
I,
have
the
privilege
of
having
Lisa
on
my
team
and
working
with
her
on
a
daily
basis.
Lisa
is
an
exemplary
employee.
I
am
so
happy
to
be
able
to
work
with
her
I'm
happy.
We
were
able
to
get
her
from
the
county
administrator's
office
because
she
has
a
wealth
of
knowledge
and
we
are
able
to
you
know
it's
that
institutional
knowledge
that
just
other
employees
just
would
not
have
so
it
is.
P
We
are
so
blessed
to
have
a
Lisa
on
our
team
and
an
employee
who
knows
so
much
about
County
government
and
understands
the
importance
of
fostering
relationships
with
other
departments
and
divisions
and
the
sheriff's
department.
Technically
they're
employees
of
the
sheriff
right.
So
Lisa
has
gone
Totally,
Above
and
Beyond
her
normal
everyday
job
duties.
P
In
order
to
be
able
to
do
this,
but
she
recognizes
the
value
of
the
relationship
that
we
need
to
have
with
the
sheriff's
department,
so
I'm
just
glad
that
Lisa
took
it
on
no
question
no
pushback,
because
she
understands
the
big
picture
and
she
gets
it.
We
all
need
to
work
together
and
Lisa
is
so
appreciated.
Congratulations
to
you
happy
to
have
you
on
the
team.
AA
Good
morning,
Commissioners
Dina
Davis
Human
Resources
deputy
director
Melanie
sold
stole
a
little
bit
of
my
thunder.
She
really
said
everything
that
needed
to
be
said,
but
I
am
grateful
to
Lisa
for
her
extensive
project
management
skills
and
her
customer
service
right.
So
we
talk
a
lot
about
customer
service
within
local
government.
She
has
an
exemplary
example
of
how
customer
service
internal
customer
service
should
work.
Thank
you
Lisa,
congratulations.
This
is
so
well
deserved,
so.
R
I
Won't
Give
Up.
How
long
me
and
Lisa
have
known
each
other,
but
it's
before
here
and
when
I
first
got
hired
eight
years
ago,
I'm,
petrified,
petrified
and
so
I
get
to
the
commissioner's
office
and
there's
a
friendly
face.
You
don't
even
know
where
the
bathroom
is,
you
know
and
I'm
like
Lisa
I,
don't
know
what
to
you
know
what
to
do.
You
know
and
the
amount
of
phone
calls
made
to
her,
especially
in
those
early
days.
R
You've
heard
some
of
the
things
you
there's
really
Webster
doesn't
have
enough
words
and
I'm
being
dead,
serious
she
com.
If
you
wanted
to
see,
what's
the
perfect
County,
employee
therapist,
and
it
even
goes
bigger
than
that
because
it
goes
perfect
person
I've
never
seen
her
ever
ever
be
angry,
say
anything
negative
and
I'm
going
a
lot
of
years
back
here.
Well,
not
a
lot
here.
R
R
R
Is
nothing
nothing
to
the
person
that
stands
up
here?
Nothing
I
mean
she
when
I,
when
I
was
going
through
the
packet
this
week,
I
saw
at
least
one
I
just
smiled
because
I'm,
like
you
know,
it's
I
mean
she's
who
dolled
up?
What
do
you
want
for
any
of
every
any
there's?
Not
a
department
out
here.
Wouldn't
fight
to
happen.
You
know,
and
so
there's
not
enough
words
to
say
I
mean
everything
that
times
a
thousand
whatever
it
says.
Lisa.
You
are
just
a
delight
to
be
around.
J
And
you
see
she's
so
humble
if
she
had
to
nominate
herself,
it
would
never
happen
again.
Never
never
there
be
people
nominating
themselves
like
daily.
She
would
never
do
it.
Doesn't
she
work
she's,
like
yeah
yeah,
no.
R
R
I
say
I
said
something
wrong,
I
mean
so
yeah
I'd
like
to
see
this
is.
L
H
G
G
T
G
A
A
Think
there's
something
there
somewhere
to
go
right.
Is
that
why
she
keeps
calling
me
looking
for
stuff
for
you
exactly
exactly

digress.

hand
the
presentation
over
to
Jr
Cosgrove
with

Public

He
will
walk
you
through
their
projects.
AD
Good
morning,
commissioner,
acting
director
of
Public
Works,
here
we
have
for
our
flight
24
budget,
we'll
start
with
the
appeal
salt
Barn
facility.
We've
actually
started
that
facility.
We
have
the
salt
Barn
constructed
along
with
all
of
the
site
work
with
that
project.
We
have
two
additional
buildings
to
put
off
to
the
to
the
rear
of
the
facility
to
store
a
transfer
station
for
salt
brine
So.
AD
The
plan
is
we'll
make
the
salt
brine
in
our
main
facility
in
Barstow,
but
we'll
have
about
a
10
000
gallon
tank
down
there,
along
with
the
transfer
pump.
So
when
we're
doing
the
snow,
remove
operations
and
doing
site
brine,
we
do
not
have
to
bring
the
contractors
or
Vehicles
back
to
Prince
Frederick,
we'll
have
a
facility
there
to
house
the
tanking
and
the
brine
itself,
along
with
some
storage
facility
for
Traffic,
Safety
devices
and
stuff,
like
that
outside
of
the
weather,
to
extend
the
life
of
the
devices.
AD
The
next
project
on
the
list
is
the
Barstow
salt
Barn
facility,
where
we've
we've
kind
of
taken
a
we've
increased
the
capacity
of
the
Highway
maintenance
yard
there
at
our
facility,
one
with
the
new
salt
Barn,
along
with
we've,
created
a
facility
to
store
a
screen.
Topso
inside
we've
created
additional
storage
bins
for
material
to
use
for
County
projects.
AD
The
next
project
for
FY
24,
we're
asking
for
850
000
for
the
low
marble
Culvert
there's
two
culverts
there,
they're
elliptical
Culvert
that
are
about
five
by
six
they're
older
Carvers
that
are
failing
plus
we
have
flooding
in
the
issue.
So
we're
looking
at
replacing
those
culverts
with
a
larger
box
Carver
to
help
with
the
flooding
and
to
rehabilitate
the
area.
So
we
don't
have
any
failures
in
the
future.
AD
The
next
project
on
the
list
is
under
the
Prince
Frederick
Loop
Road,
where
we're
asking
for
a
million
dollars
for
the
Northeast
segment
of
Chesapeake,
Boulevard
and
perch
butter,
Boulevard
that'll,
add
to
the
existing
Capital
project
that
we
have
there
to
help
fund
building
the
remaining
portion
of
Fox
Run
Boulevard
between
the
high
school
and
the
middle
school
area,
along
with
design
money
for
looking
at
expanding
Chesapeake
Boulevard
towards
the
North
Area.
As
the
plan
calls
for.
A
AD
There's
a
little
section
of
Chesapeake
Boulevard
you
get
so
this
would
be
to
head
north
on
Chesapeake
Boulevard
past
the
Middle
School
through
additional
property,
the
county
and
the
Board
of
Ed.
Has
the
the
transportation
plan
from
I?
Think
it's
probably
eight
or
six
or
six
eight
years
ago,
show
Chesapeake
Boulevard
expanding
out
it's
basically
the
east
side
of
the
Loop
Road
it'll
mirror
Prince
Frederick
Boulevard
or
come
out
somewhere
just
north
of
the
hospital,
depending
on
where
we
determine
kind
of
across
from
Auto
Drive.
AD
AD
It
depends
on.
We
got
like
three
different
alignments,
you're,
probably
looking
at
probably
in
today's
money,
probably
about
eight
million
dollars
at.
AD
It's
a
good
section
of
Road.
You
got
to
wrap
around
the
hospital,
come
after
route,
four
there'll
be
some
State
Highway
improvements,
there'll
also
be
a
Wetlands
Crossing
back
there.
O
From
fiscal
year
24
to
29,
the
total
is
three
million
250..
How
did
we
get
to
8
million.
AD
This
is
a
rough
estimate
on
basically
the
length
of
what
we're
currently
seeing
improvements
cost
today.
These
are
just
rough
estimates
that
were
in
the
budget.
From
years
ago,
we
haven't
updated
the
out
Years
yet
because
we
don't
really
have
a
design
or
nailed
down
the
exact
alignment
to
figure
out
I
mean
we
know
roughly,
where
it's
going
to
go,
but
there's
when
you
get
started
getting
up
around
the
hospital,
there's
three
different
options
to
help
reduce
the
impact
in
the
environment.
O
AD
The
possibly
go
further,
the
worst
part
with
any
of
these
Road
improvements
is
land
acquisition.
Okay,.
AD
Nail
down
how
long
that'll
take
because
it
kind
of
comes
down
to
whether
the
property
owner
is
one
willing
to
sell
and
if
we
can
even
move
forward
with
it
or
not.
So
it's
kind
of
you
know
once
we
get
through
the
design
and
conceptually
now
we
figure
out
how
much
property
we
need
to
acquire
once
we
get
through
that
step,
it's
a
whole
lot
easier
to
nail
down
the
time
frame
of
the
project
and
the
actual
construction
dollars
moving
forward.
A
AD
AD
AD
A
AD
AD
I
mean
I,
know
what
you
mean.
It
doesn't
seem
like
it's
probably
enough,
but
we've
done
alignments
in-house
and
some
additional
grading
to
see
what
we
would
need
and
we
could
shift
the
alignment
on
majority
of
the
property
that
we
owned
as
part
of
the
middle
school
property.
So
a
good
segment
of
it.
We
wouldn't
have
to
buy
property
at
all.
It's
not
until
we
get
up
behind
the
hospital
or
we
have
to
start
looking
at
purchase
and
property
and.
A
AD
It
won't
take
long.
The
last
we've
had
three
box
Carvers
over
the
past
year
and
we're
usually
about
a
two-month
process
and
replacing
them
and
we're
probably
about
four
or
five
months
per
minute:
okay,
you're
raising
the
whole
Road
there
we're
not
looking
at
that.
Yet
we're
pretty
much
looking
at
replacing
the
Culvers.
It
might
come
up
a
foot
or
so,
but
not
much
and
let's
just
get
cover
over
the
box
covered.
C
R
So
so
I
I
am
all
I'm
huge
in
favor
for
back
up
I'm.
C
R
AD
Is
so
we're
at
about
50
plans
on
that
we're
at
the
point
where
we're
looking
at
trying
to
draw
up
acquisition
right
away,
easements
and
start
getting.
R
R
Is
but
if
that
could
happen
and
could
be
done,
the
way
that
it
was
said
that
would
save
lives
now
my
big
one
is
on
that
Parkway
extension.
So
you
planning
on
going
like
to
where
that
three-way
stop
is
in
the
ranch
club.
C
AD
R
R
I
don't
want
to
ever
see
that
happen
if
I'm
four
to
one
or
what
have
you
but
I
can
tell
you
if
a
thousand
people
live
there
and
a
thousand
people
truly
knew
and
there's
more
than
that,
it's
probably
like
eight
ten
thousand
truly
new,
with
the
impacts
of
that,
we
wouldn't
have
one
vote
for
that.
If
that's
what
I
think
that
is
and
I
think
I'm
right
to
go
and
then
and
then
for
us
to
pay,
for
it
shoot
no
way
so
I
knew
where
that
came
from
I
know.
R
R
AD
B
AD
So
on
this
one,
we
continue
down
to
the
next
money.
We're
asking
for
95
24
is
50
grand
for
the
wetlands
been
debate
mitigation
Bank.
We
currently
have
a
bank
down
at
cage
farm
that
covers
about
10
acres.
AD
This
is
funding
that
we
have
to
every
year
go
ahead
and
maintain
it
in
order
to
get
because
we
have
not
received
full
credit
for
the
10
acres
being
constructed
down
there
and
each
year
we
have
to
go
in
and
basically
maintain
it
to
make
sure
it's
within
the
standards
for
MD
to
inspect
yearly,
to
make
sure
that
we're
meeting
the
design
for
them
to
end
up
giving
us
credits
for
banking,
the
wetlands
to
use
for
future
projects
when
we
need
to
mitigate
them.
AD
The
next
one
would
be
the
these
are
not
specific
Transportation
planes,
it's
which
relate
to
a
little
bit
of
everything
across
the
board,
such
as
dams
and
Bridge,
maintenance,
repairs,
we're
asking
for
300
000
there.
We
have
about
20
major
Bridges
and
about
20
minor,
the
major
ones
we
inspect
every
two
years
were
the
systems
for
state
highway
and
the
miners.
We
have
to
inspect
every
four
years
and
from
those
reports
there's
certain
things
we
have
to
maintain
a
lot
of.
AD
It
is
guardrails,
because
regulations
have
trained
changed
as
far
as
height
goes,
we've
had
to
update
some
of
those
every
now
and
then
you
get
some
concrete
abutments.
It
needs
some.
Some
addressing
you
get
some
erosion
around
them.
You
need
to
fix.
You
get
erosion
underneath
of
the
bridge
where
you
need
to
put
in
some
more
armor,
so
it
doesn't
scour
next
to
the
foundation
and
that's
pretty
much
what
those
funds
cover,
along
with
any
dams,
that
we
need
to
maintain
for
Still
Water
facilities
that
our
roads
cross.
AD
AD
R
AD
You
know
and
and
that's
a
five-year
permit
and
we're
looking
at
renewing
that
come
FY
24.
R
And
I'm
all
about
taking
care
of
the
environment
I
am,
but
you
know
you
would
think
some
of
that
money
would
come
back
to
help.
Do
that
because
you
know
these
watersheds
affect
so
much
more
than
just
our
neck
of
the
woods
that
you
know,
I
mean
I,
think
it's
a
good
thing
that
it's
happening
that
way
to
protect
it.
But
you
know
some
of
that
should
be
shared
cost
yeah.
AD
So
most
of
the
ms4
permanent
covers
either
creating
new
storm
water
devices
to
treat
existing
impervious.
It's
not
being
currently
treated
expanding
exist,
existing
facilities
we
have
now
to
treat
over
and
above
what
it
was
originally
designed
for
fixing
some
outfall
repairs
where
we
have
erosion
Downstream
with
some
of
the
culverts.
R
AD
No
there's
a
lot
of
area
in
our
ms4
permanent.
That
was
that's
older
communities
that
were
built
long
before
stormwater
regulations
even
existed,
so
you
know,
but
we're
we're
doing
a
pretty
good
job
of
keeping
up
with
what
we
need
to
and
meeting
the
requirements
of
the
permits.
At
this
point.
R
Commissioner,
Hans
is
right.
He
is
calling
me
out
for
things.
I
have
screamed
about
that
that
the
bigger
picture-
that's
just
not
spelled
out,
because
I
do
love
the
environment.
So
I,
you
know,
I
he's
right,
I,
let
it
marinate
and
I
was
like
yeah.
I
did
say
that
you
know,
but
but
you
would
think
some
of
it
would
be
shared
cost.
AA
R
Know
I
mean
Maryland
does
have
a
surplus.
You
would
think
they
would
want
to.
AD
Know
right
yeah.
The
next
project
you
want
to
list
would
be
the
roadway
safety
improvements.
This
is
what
we
use
for
small
safety
projects
if
we
need
to
install
additional
guardrail
put
up
some
safety
signs.
We
use
this
to
put
up
speed.
Notification
sounds
like
the
one
we
did
down
to
Solomons
and
let
people
know
what
the
speed
limit
is
and
how
fast
they're
actually
going.
AD
So
that's
what
we
use
that
project
for
we're
asking
for
110
000
in
FY
24..
The
next
one
would
be
the
sidewalk
program
we're
asking
for
150
000
FY
24.
We
use
this
to
repair
all
the
sidewalks
throughout
the
town
centers
in
the
county,
where
they
need
to
be
repaired.
If
we
need
to
add
any
additional
ones,
we
can
use
this
account
to
help.
Do
that
also
storm
water
management,
maintenance
and
fy24.
AD
We're
asking
for
150
000
here
and
that's
to
maintain
some
of
our
existing
stormwater
facilities,
such
as
the
once-long
southern
connector,
that
we
maintained
a
couple
years
ago.
We
had
to
go
in
and
pretty
much
do
a
reconstruction
on
most
of
them
because
they
silt
it
in
over
the
time
and
they
weren't
storing
the
volume
they
should
have
been
for
design
we're.
Looking
at
a
couple
of
them
along
first
Frederick
Boulevard
to
handle
the
storm
water
from
preferred
Boulevard.
AD
We
need
to
maintain
and
improve
because
once
again
they
filled
it
with
sediment
over
the
past
10
years
since
they've
been
there,
the
next
one,
which
is
a
large
one,
is
our
storm
drain
project
account
we're
asking
for
1.2
million
in
FY
24..
This
is
the
account
we
pretty
much
use
to
help
maintain
all
storm
drains
underneath
of
our
road
infrastructure.
AD
So
far
in
FY
23,
we
have
used
about
920
000
that
was
given
to
us
in
FY
23
and
we've
aligned
and
maintained
about
seven
thousand
feet
of
storm
drain
pipe
to
date.
We
still
have
more
to
go
this
year,
that's
kind
of
the
transportation
Safety
project.
This
is
the
account
we're
asking
for
150
000,
and
we
use
this
to
add
what
we
call
Race
pavement
markers
along
the
center
of
the
road,
which
is
basically
the
reflective
devices
you
see
to
help
delineate
the
center
line.
AD
We
use
this
to
install
and
repair
a
lot
of
guardrails
along
some
of
our
roads
to
raise
them
up
to
regulation,
height
and
so
forth.
So.
AD
The
transportation
is
more
one
strictly
just
for
guard
rails,
pavement,
markers
safety
signs
and
so
forth.
In.
AD
The
roadway
safety
Improvement
project
has
been
used,
let's
say
eastbound
Harmony
Road
years
ago
there
was
a
couple
accidents
along
saw
a
sharp
Bend
and
it
was
determined
the
road
was
too
slippery.
So
what
we
ended
up
doing
was
going
micro
melanin
to
create
the
let's
just
say
a
rougher
surface.
So
the
tires
would
stick
a
little
bit
better.
So
that's
what
we
would
use
the
kind
of
the
roadway
safety
forces,
the
Transportation
safety,
and
then
that
leaves
us
with
the
ms4
account
we're
asking
for
a
million
dollars
and
24.
AD
O
AD
They're
modifying
the
intersection,
it's
so
that
you
I
believe
you
cannot
make
a
left
and
hit
South
on
four.
If
I.
Remember
correctly,
when
you
come
out
of
Mount
Harmony.
A
A
AD
AC
AC
R
I'm,
just
thinking
back
to
the
first
time,
I
saw
one
of
these
and
it
wasn't
even
close
to
this
I
mean
and
I.
Remember,
seeing
we're
not
really
going
to
go
to
New,
York
and
and
do
all
that
I
mean
and
not
trying
to
I,
don't
even
want
to
throw
a
number
of
what
that
was
the
first.
But
it
wasn't
that
that's
for
certain
yeah.
AC
R
R
A
AC
R
It
is
brutal,
it's
it's
a
hard
job.
Somebody
has
to
do.
I
mean
it's.
We're
gonna
shoot
the
messengers,
no.
A
R
On
spending
anything
you
know,
that's
the
thing
too.
There
is
a
notion.
I,
remember
my
first
calculator.
Oh
it's
in
the
CIP
I
actually
thought
that
was
money
that
was
saved
somewhere
when
I
first
got
it.
I
can't
do
that.
I'm
like
well,
it's
in
a
CIP.
They
said
so
they're
like
no,
no,
no,
no,
no,
no
or.
R
Like
that's
free
money,
yeah
right
like
put
on
a
credit
card,
you
know
yeah
and
then
you
always
hear
someone
say
it's
for
kids,
absolutely
right,
and
so
they
don't
pay
it
back
in
generation
after
generation
and
generation.
It's
absolutely
right,
that's
what
gets
missed.
It
is
for
the
next
generation
and
people
on
those
walls
made
sure
we
weren't
in
that
trick.
Bag
and
I
don't
plan
to
break
that
habit.
R
AC
J
B
G
G
AE
R
At
here
well,
and
no,
but
that's
important,
because
you
know
this
misnomer
of
well-
this
is
just
24
or
25.
No,
no!
No!
No!
No!
No!
It's
that
total
bill
and
I
learned
that
on
that
pool
early
on
I
mean,
and
that
thing
still
ain't
paid
for
I
mean
that's
just
it.
You
know
these
projects
seem
so
so
simple
or
so
you
know.
Oh,
it's
just
no,
no
and
then
the
maintenance
and
I
mean
you,
don't
even
get
it
paid
for
and
and
you're
redoing
half
the
place.
R
Correct
I
mean
some
are
just
the
worst
investments
in
the
world.
You
know
I
mean
that
it's
a
bill
that
just
don't
go
away.
It's
not
never
a
one-time
cost
nope.
R
AC
And
that's
even
with
land,
it's
not
free,
there's,
always
things
we
have
to
insure
it.
We
have
to
mow
it.
We.
L
AC
A
So
but
we
do
have
a
policy,
we'll
recap
that
to
try
to.
R
Keep
that
yes
and
I'd
give
that
all
to
commissioner
hands
when
he
came
in
he
said
you
know
come
up
with
that
number
and
I
thought
that
was
that
was
outstanding.
I
mean
that
putting
that
line
there.
J
A
AE
Current
sign
regulations
located
in
article
6
of
the
Calvert
County
zoning
ordinance
were
adopted
in
2018..
We
have
actually
started
that
in
2015.
the
regulations
were
updated
due
to
the
United
States
Supreme
Court
ruling
on
Reed
versus
the
town
of
Gilbert
case.
The
ruling
required
that
signed
regulations
be
content.
Neutral,
sign
regulations
cannot
be
written.
Based
on
having
to
read
the
contents
of
the
sign.
AE
AE
Only
along
the
road
specified
above
there
are
a
few
existing
EMC
signs,
not
located
in
the
Prince
Frederick
Town,
Center
or
EC
property
that
were
approved
to
replace
existing
backlit
signs
before
the
adoption
of
the
2018
sign
regulations,
Additionally
the
towns
of
Chesapeake,
Beach
and
North
Beach
have
many
existing
EMC
signs.
However,
they
have
their
own
zoning
regulations
and
are
not
regulated
by
the
Calvert
County.
Zoning
ordinance,
Planning
and
Zoning
staff
often
receive
inquiries
from
Property
Owners
wanting
to
install
EMC
signs.
AE
If
the
property
does
not
meet
the
current
criteria
listed
above
EMC
signs
are
not
permitted.
This
work
session
is
discussed
if
the
Commissioners
would
like
to
consider
permitting
EMC
signs
elsewhere
in
the
county.
This
can
be
done
by
a
text
Amendment
to
the
Calvert
County
zoning
ordinance
or
could
be
addressed
during
the
update
to
the
Calvert
County
zoning
ordinance,
which
is
scheduled
to
begin
this
spring.
AE
So,
as
I
stated,
these
were
current
regulations
were
adopted
in
2018
and
are
contained
in
chapter
six
of
the
Calvert
County
zoning
ordinance.
We,
the
regulations,
were
written
to
be
content
neutral
as
a
result
of
the
U.S
Supreme
Court
case,
so
I'm
going
to
briefly
go
really
quickly
through
various
types
of
signs.
Just
so
that
you
know
all
the
different
types
of
signs
we
do
regulate,
so
permanent
freestanding
signs
include,
directional
signs,
drive
up
signs,
freestanding
signs
and
subdivision
signs,
and
those
are
all
regulated
differently.
AE
As
far
as
size,
location
height,
we
also
do
permanent
building
signs,
including
canopy
signs,
awning
signs
wall
and
projecting
signs,
electronic
message
center
signs
and
reader
boards.
So
the
difference
between
the
two
is
electronic
message
center
sign.
You
don't
physically
have
to
walk
up
to
the
sign
to
change
what
it's
going
to
say.
Reader
boards,
you
you
physically,
have
to
change
out
the
letters
and
we
also
regulate
portable
signs,
including
T
frame
and
A-frame
signs.
AE
AE
AE
That's
the
presentation,
so,
if
you'd
like
to
have
a
discussion
of
places,
you'd
want
to
allow
additional
EMC
signs
or
if
you
would
rather
wait
and
have
a
larger
Global
discussion
with
the
public
when
we're
updating
the
ordinance
and
then
we
can
talk
about
all
different
signs.
I.
R
Just
want
to
ask
this
Mary
Beth,
so
this
was
the
biggest
hot
button
issue
I
encountered
when
I
first
got
here
sure
and
you
kind
of
went
over
top,
that
with
materials
that
were
allowed-
and
you
remember,
the
policy
was
it's:
it's
legal
unless
somebody
complains,
so
you
could
have
a
sign.
I
could
have
one.
If
you
complained
about
me,
mine
was
only
I
mean
it
was
a
mess,
but
we
waited
Supreme.
Court
was
in
the
middle
doing
all
that.
With
that
said
now,
you
cannot
regulate
content.
R
R
So
it
goes
through
an
electric
as
there
was
do
you
know
how
much
pushback
there
was
on
electric
science
anyway,
even
though
it
was
in
other
parts
of
the
county,
where
somebody
could
put
a
message
that
somebody
was
inappropriate
and
it's
doing
this
on
Route
four
I
mean.
Are
you
opening
up
the
floodgates?
I
mean
I
I,
don't
I'm
not
dug
in
on
either
way
I'm
just
I'm
asking
questions?
Are
you
opening
up
the
floodgates
for
now?
R
AE
R
R
AE
We
do
regulate
no
flashing
and
that
there
is
some
Cadence
for
how
the.
R
Seven
seems
about
right,
you
know,
because
you
could
kind
of
in
your
own
way,
make
it
yeah,
and
you
know
I
just
want
to
eyes
wide
open,
because
you
know
on
the
one
side
you
appreciate
a
shopping
center
can
take
and
get
rid
of
all
those
signs
that
are
everywhere
put
it
on
one
message:
board
clean
the
whole
thing
up:
we've
seen
human
behavior,
look
at
Route,
four
on
the
weekends,
so
I
I
mean
just
saying
you
know,
and
how
many
political
signs
are
the
worst
I'm
part
of
that
party.
R
A
So
I'm
not
I'm,
not
a
fan
of
electric
signs
and
it's
unfortunate
that
we
have
one,
and
so
then
everybody
else
sees
that
one
and
they
all
say
well.
I
want
one
I
want
one
too
I.
Just
you
know,
I
understand.
Businesses
have
to
advertise
to
make
sure
that
people
know
they're.
There
I'm
just
not
sure
that
I
need
to
know
that
today
the
car
is
discounted.
Two
hundred
dollars-
and
you
know-
we've
talked
about
the
distraction
for
drivers
and
I.
A
Think
when
we
went
through
this
battle
before
somebody
made
up
a
picture
of
Route
4
through
Prince
Frederick
with
flashing
signs,
although
they're
not
allowed,
but
you
know
you,
you
start
that
step.
So
we
expand
electronic
signs.
Well,
the
next
thing
they're
going
to
want
is
flashing,
because
now
everybody's
got
them
so
mine's
got
to
stand
out
and
you
know
can't
let
Todd
have
one
bigger
than
mine
and
I.
Just
you
know:
I'm
I'm,
not
a
fan
of
electricity.
I
A
O
Do
you
think
that
what
we
have
now
in
the
regulations
is
adequate
in
order
to
make
the
rules
for
everyone
and
there's
no
individual
deviation?
It
will
Encompass
every
everyone
so.
AE
Really
now
we
have
seven
Town
centers
and
it's
only
permitted
in
one
so
I
think
that's
something
that
we
could
examine
when
we're
going
through.
The
comprehensive
rezoning
and
update
to
the
zoning
ordinance
is:
where
else
may
it
be
appropriate?
Maybe
Solomon's
doesn't
want
it,
but
maybe
Dunkirk
does
you
know
those
are
the
com,
bigger
conversations
we
need
to
have
okay,
yeah.
D
R
O
I
would
like
a
history
of
what
has
happened
previously,
what
precipitated
all
the
sign
ordinances
and
then
what
you're
facing
now,
and
so
we
can
determine
how
we
want
the
county
to
look
with
signage,
okay
and.
D
AE
I
AE
A
And
we
do
hear
a
lot
about
the
signs
and
the
roads
on
Route
4
on
weekends
and
some
people
think
that's
legal.
That
is
not
legal
reiterate
that
every
opportunity
we
get
they
are
illegal
signs,
but
because
State
Highway
doesn't
work
on
the
weekends
they
stick
them
up
on
Friday
night.
They
take
them
down
on
Sunday
night.
A
Are
several
several
of
this
and
years
ago
before
I
was
here
years
ago,
when
they
talked
about
working
with
State
Highway
to
ban
those
those
people
came
in
and
protested
because
they
said
that's
how
we
make
our
living
he's.
Putting
those
signs
up
so
you're
gonna
get
that,
but
just
understand
we're
only.
We
can
only
jurisdict
what
we
can,
which
is
county
owned
property.
So
any
of
these
businesses
on
state
roads,
there's
different
requirements
and
guidelines
based
on
the
state.
R
A
R
W
X
Good
morning,
County
Commissioners
Mr
Mark
Willis,
we'll
jump
right
into
it.
X
Have
Mr
Johnson
with
us
he's
our
Chief
Financial
Officer
for
Capital
County,
Public
Schools,
one
of
the
most
important
responsibilities
of
the
Calvert
County
Board
of
Education,
in
collaboration
with
the
superintendent
and
staff,
is
to
provide
prudent
fiscal
management.
It
is
very
challenging
at
times
the
proposed
fiscal
2024
budget
includes
new
cost
pressures
on
multiple
fronts.
X
First,
there
is
inflation,
that's
approaching
40-year
highs,
inflation
is
increasing
cost
pressures
across
the
board
in
every
school
and
in
every
Department.
Second,
student
transportation
costs
are
increasing
at
an
unprecedented
rate.
Third,
the
blueprint
for
Maryland's
future
requires
additional
salary
adjustment
for
teachers.
Teachers
are
required
to
receive
a
10
salary
increase
occurring
between
June
30
of
2019
and
July
1
2024..
The
proposed
budget
includes
salary
increases
needed
to
meet
this
blueprint
mandate.
X
Lastly,
the
proposed
fiscal
year
24
budget,
includes
funding
for
comparable
wage
increases
for
support
staff,
other
employee
groups
and
teachers
not
identified
in
the
blueprints.
These
increases
included
in
the
proposed
budget
to
ensure
efficient
operations
of
the
school
system
and
to
provide
Equitable
pay
for
our
employees.
The
employees
of
Calvert,
County
Public
Schools
have
exemplified
dedication
and
professionalism
to
ensure
that
the
community
has
an
exceptional
school
system.
X
I
shared
this
presentation
that
we
have
here
with
our
Board
of
Education
on
January
26
2023
this
year,
I
can
before
I
jump
right
into
the
numbers.
I
would
love
to
give
you
just
a
little
background.
Who
do
we
serve?
Who
are

some
of
our
Educators
doing
amazing
things?
X
Academics

I
call
it
the
Triple
A's.
We
believe
every
young
person
fall
into
each
one
of
those
categories.
It
is
our
goal
to
provide
the
best
Academic
Program
possible,
the
best
athletic

for
our
young
people
possible
and
to
also
invest
in

well

We
want
to
ensure
that
every
young
person
have
an
opportunity
to
maximize
their
potentiality.
X
We
serve
approximately
a
little
over
15
000
students,
48

Looking
at
our
racial

You
can

we're
about
65

white
13.7,
African-American

fiscal
year
or

year,
21-22
I'm,
highlighting
elementary
middle
and
high
school,
where
we
Excel
the
best.
Looking
at
our
Ela,
that's
our
English
test
scores.
As
you
can
see.
Our
third
graders
are
currently
ranked
fifth
in
the
in
the
states.
Our
six
excuse
me,
our
eighth
grade
is
our
ranked
fourth
in
the
state
and
major
shout
out
to
high
school,
because
our
high
school
10th
graders
are
ranked
number
one
with
regards
to
achievement
on
the
mcap
scores.
R
Townsend
can
I
ask
you
a
question
when
I
was
going
through
this
on
slide
seven
there
you
know
Montgomery,
County
and
Baltimore
County
have
a
large
population
of
children
for
the
numbers
to
be
that
high.
They
would
have
to
really
be
wiping
the
floor
with
everybody
else,
because
you
know
if
you
have
one
kid
and
then
and
another
kid
does
good
well
you're
up
100
right,
but
they
have
thousands
of
kids.
This
graph
is
accurate.
R
Mean
I
I
mean
what
to
see
that
that
that
big,
a
gap
I
mean
you
know
you
look
at
you
know
once
it
gets
up
to
like
where
we
are.
You
know
it's
kind
of
steady
and
there's
some.
You
know.
Lower
populations
I
mean
there's
a
smaller
populations.
You
can
see
that
that
don't,
but
even
that
would
make
me
think
that
they
would
have
higher
scores
because
less
are
kids.
R
O
Dr
townsell
Catherine,
Grasso
I
understand
you
can
go
on
board
Docs
and
the
review
of
our
test
scores
are
not
reflective
of
what
you
have
here.
Correct.
I
X
You
know
third
grade
is
a
very
pivotal
moment
in
education,
a
lot
of
times
in
some
areas,
Dropout
rates
are
determined
by
third
grade
achievements.
So
it's
a
very
focused
group.
We
have
an
amazing
third
grade
staff
here
in
Calvert
County
Public
School,
the
Educators,
the
supervisors
that
support
our
elementary
population.
Does
they
do
a
phenomenal
job
of
that
third
grade,
the
same
way
with
our
Middle
School
population.
X
Our
eighth
graders
are
absolutely
prepared
to
go
into
our
high
school
and
when
we
take
that
end
caps
test
at
a
high
school
level,
our
young
people
do
a
phenomenal
job
at
that
level.
I
miss
the
in-betweens
that
we
can
really
focus
on
to
have
high
quality
teaching
and
learning
across
the
state
of
Maryland
test
scores
have
dropped
and
it's
also
dropped
in
Calvert
County
Public
Schools
I
would
attribute
that
to
potential
learning
loss
during
the
pandemic.
A
lot
of
the
virtual
learning
the
asynchronous
instruction.
X
O
X
Educators
go
above
and
beyond
for
us,
and
the
first
thing
we
did
was
went
back
to
Traditional
School
in
no
time
law,
so
no
Mass
policy,
nothing
to
prohibit
or
to
cause
any
type
of
attendance
concerns
or
issues
open
up.
Our
schools
completely
professionally
developed
our
teachers
and
our
young
people
are
rocking
and
rolling
in
the
classroom.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
later
this
month
and
next
month,
we're
testing
for
the
mcap
again
we're
very
confident
we're
very
encouraged,
with
the
scores
that
we
took
with
nwea.
X
X
Of
our
families
still
prior
to
my
arrival,
we
have
you
know
hundreds
of
family
enrolled
into
the
program.
They
thought
it
was
best
for
their
kids
and
in
some
cases
it
is.
But
when
you
look
at
16,
000
kids
compared
to
100
students,
I
understand
it
has
to
be
the
appropriate
return
of
investment,
but
our
families
that
are
in
the
program
that
want
to
be
in
the
program
see
evaluated
and
there
is
a
value
in
it.
O
What
is
the
reason
for
this?
Why
would
a
parent
keep
a
child
home
and
deprive
them
of
socialization
in-person
Health
when
you
look
at
the
losses
we've
had
because
of
the
pandemic?
Why
would
anybody
want
to
fund
this
and
not
get
the
children
back
to
school,
so
they
can
learn
socialize
and
realize
their
potential?
Why
would
we
do
this?
What
what
do
the
parents
say?
What
is
their
reason
for
keeping
these
children
home
parents.
X
AF
L
X
As
although
we
want,
we
have
a
Traditional
School
System,
but
you
know,
a
hundred
percent
of
young
people
may
not
be
in
the
traditional
population.
As
you
know,
there's
a
percentage
of
our
young
people
who
are
potentially
in
special
education.
Some
of
our
young
people
require
alternative
education
and
there
there's.
X
Education
for
young
people,
who
may
not
succeed
in
the
traditional
setting,
who
need
additional
supports
something
called
multi-tiered
system
of
support,
which
is
75
percentage
of
universal
population
about
20
percent,
is
targeted
intervention
and
five
percent
need
that
very
intense
support.
So,
providing
intensive
support
on
all
levels,
behavioral,
academic
and
social
and
emotional.
O
O
X
It
sold
the
process,
although
the
flow
chart
of
that
the
teacher
would
make
a
referral
that
referral
would
get
processed
by
Administration.
The
administration
would
look
at
the
discipline,
look
at
the
record
of
the
young
person
and
provide
the
appropriate
disciplinary
action
with
parent
involvement
and
communicate
with
that
with
the
teachers.
So
our
range
of
interventions
or
discipline
that
we
have
for
students
range
from
in
school,
suspended
to
out
of
school
suspension
to
the
ultimate
of
expulsion.
X
O
Wow
and
I
know
that
a
lot
of
our
teachers
are
not
feeling
safe
within
the
school
system.
A
lot
of
our
teachers
are
feeling
that
the
students
are
running
the
schools
and
the
teachers
are
not
supportive
by
the
administration.
Just
to
make
you
aware,
we
hear
that
all
the
time,
and
that
is
so
wrong
on
all
levels.
X
Well
I'll
say
you
know:
one
of
the
Privileges
I
have
of
being
a
superintendent,
is
I've
been
in
every
last
school.
Most
recently,
yesterday,
I
was
at
Huntington
High
School,
not
only
visiting
a
student,
but
just
being
in
the
midst
of
the
climate
and
culture
of
the
school
I.
Think
Calvert,
County
Public
Schools
have
a
phenomenal
school
system.
Our
teachers
are
teaching
at
a
high
level.
X
Our
administrators
are
working
with
teachers
to
increase
academic
achievement
on
instruction
and
we're
holding
our
young
people
accountable
with
behaviors
I
know
that
there's
a
narrative
and
I
listen
to
it
and
I
respond
to
it,
but
I'm,
confident
that
we
have
a
phenomenal
school
system,
especially
if
we
compare
to
other
systems
in
the
state
of
Maryland.
Are
we
perfect?
No
Perfection
is
unattainable,
but
through
the
pursuit
we
will
find
excellence
and
I'm
confident
that
over
time,
we'll
get
better
and
better
and
better
from
where
we
started
for
sure
I.
X
X
X
Student
enrollment,
this
is
very
important.
As
you
can
see,
we
have
a
little
over
15
000
students.
We
project
about
the
same.
Maybe
a
couple
10
12
more
in
the
upcoming
Academic
Year,
but
we
will
be
over
15
000
students
set
the
bar
meet
the
bar,
exceed
the
bar,
raise
the
bar
repeat:
repeat
you
do
that
you
get
better
over
time.
That
is
one
of
the
quotes
that
I
share
with
our
team
all
the
time.
X
It's
a
philosophy
that
we
work
with-
and
this
is
the
bar
this
year-
is
the
bar
and
the
goal
is
to
meet
it
in
the
upcoming
year.
Let's
get
better
over
time
and
I
think
we'll
have
something
to
celebrate.
I.
X
O
Ma'am
I
read
that
and
I'm
a
very
strategic
person.
What
does
this
mean
I
mean?
Do
you
have
do
you
have?
Are
you
approaching
this
strategically
with
a
mission
statement,
a
bar
to
achieve
with
outcomes?
You
have
a
certain
level
of
outcomes
that
you
hope
to
reach
every
year,
so
you
can
measure
how
you
are
setting
the
bar
meeting,
the
bar
exceeding
and
raising
the
bar,
because
without
that
these
are
just
words.
Yes,.
X
Ma'am
so
specifically
looking
at
student
achievement
data
and
we
have
75
percent
of
our
students
proficient
or
Advanced.
What
I
tell
my
administrative
team?
Is
we
get
better
I,
don't
care
if
it's
one
percent
better,
let's
just
get
better
so
I'm,
almost
I,
don't
I
I
want
to
say
guarantee,
but
I
don't
want
to
put
my
foot
in
my
mouth.
The
goal
is
to
get
at
minimum
one
percent
better
every
year
at
minimum,
we're
not
going
to
go
backwards,
we're
going
to
move
forward,
so
it
just
means
better
with
our
data.
X
If
we
have
100
fights
next
year,
95
following
year,
90.
following
year,
85
just
getting
better
over
time,
nothing
will
ever
be
perfect
and
we
know
that.
But
can
we
reduce
the
frequency
absolutely?
Can
we
reduce
or
increase
the
amount
of
young
people
Advance
or
proficient
no
doubt,
especially
as
we're
emerging
from
a
pandemic
I'm
very
excited
about
what
I
did
I
say
in
the
upcoming
year?
Thank
you.
Yes,
ma'am.
X
I
would
like
to
highlight
our
teacher
of
the
year
for
this
school
year.
2223
has
been
miss
Rachel
Ulmer
I
had
an
opportunity
to
see
her
in
action
multiple
times
and
she's
really
doing
a
phenomenal
job
over
at
Huntington
high
school.
She
does
serve
on
our
teacher
advisory
Council.
Additionally
I'd
like
to
highlight
our
nurse
at
Point,
Middle
School,
Miss,
Dana,
Smith
she's
done
doing
a
phenomenal
job.
X
As
a
matter
of
fact,
when
I
went
to
the
school
I've
seen
her
in
action
working
with
one
of
our
young
people
and
I
understand
how
she
earned
support
person
of
the
year
staff
highlights
68
of
our
Calvert
County
Public
School
teachers
have
a
master's
degree
13
of
13
of
our
Calvert
County
Public
School
teachers
have
already
received
their
national
board
certification
and
currently
61
teachers
are
pursuing
their
national
board
certification.
There's
budget
implications
to
that,
as
you
know,
mandated
in
the
blueprint
we
have
to
pay
a
ten
thousand
dollar
bonus
to
every
teacher.
X
X
R
I
had
heard
that
I
was
talking
to
somebody
about
being
a
teacher
and
I
said
you
know,
you
get
your
four-year
degree,
get
your
certification
and
then
they
said.
No,
no,
no
there's
a
time
limit
that
you
have
to
go,
get
your
Masters
and
that
deterred
them
of
wanting
to
be,
but
so
you're
saying
so
someone
could
get
their
four-year
degree
get
certified
teaching
and
there
could
teach
for
the
rest
of
their
career
without
having
to
get
a
masters.
I'd.
R
If
that's
what
we're
telling
you,
let
me
look
at
yeah
just
because
I've
heard
that
a
couple
times
and
that
kind
of
scared
them
off
of
wanting
to
be
a
teacher.

to
provide
a
safe
environment
for
all
students
and
staff,
first
and
foremost,
to
maximize
educational
opportunities
for
students
to
continue
helping
students
make
up
pandemic
learning
laws
to
attract
and
retain
high
quality,
instructional
and
support
staff
to
fulfill
local
state
and
federal
requirements,
for
example,
the
blueprint
to
honor
current
collective
bargaining
agreements
and
to
provide
excellent
fiscal
stewardship
for
Calvert
County
Public,
School
taxpayers.

R
R
V

Things
right
so
so
it
would
be
six
and
a
half
say
if
I
was
at
80
I'd
get
six
and
a
half
percent
over
a
year
am
I.
Hearing
that
right
calendar
to
calendar
is
that
right
and
then
and
then
a
step,
but
on
top
of
because
I
was
wondering
you
know,
because
you
know
we
have
had
those.
You
know
several
discussions.
I
knew
about
the
mandate
to
60,
but
what
about
the
pre-existing
teacher
where?
Where
are
they
on
that?
So
okay?
So
it's.
X
Yeah
and
I
want
to
be
clear:
the
60
minimum-
that's
July,
1
26.
R
X
AG
X
Blueprint
related
challenges
for
students
included
in
the
budget.
The
student
related
changes
are
the
advanced
placement
testing,
career
and
college
readiness
costs,
CTE
certification
of
students,
dual
enrollment
costs
for
students
Pre-K
from
half
day
to
full
day
for
our
four-year-old
students.
We
must
pay
those
costs
so,
for
example,
every
advanced
placement
test.
We
have
to
pay
that
every
certification
we
have
to
pay
that
dual
enrollment
costs.
X
X
Now
we
do
understand
that
there
is
a
for-profit
pre-grade
Pre-K
programming
in
Calvert,
County,
Public
School,
we
don't
the
goal
is
not
to
compete,
is
to
work
with
and
just
ensure
all
of
our
young
people
are
getting
Pre-K
education,
but
we
want
what
we're
proposing
in
this
budget
is
12
Pre-K
assistance.
In
addition
to
one
and
a
half
Pre-K
teachers
Because
by
the
blueprint,
we
must
offer
four-day
pre-kindergarten.
X
A
X
That
that
is
a
part
of
it.
You
know,
we
will
offer,
you
know
a
competitive
salary
and
it
will
be
hard
to
compete,
but.
L
X
X
We
are
currently
identifying
space
at
all
of
our
buildings.
We
do
have
campuses
with
a
lot
of
room
and
some
campuses
that
may
be
a
little
challenging,
but
we
will
find
you
okay,
gotta
mix
and
match.
Look
at
the
Masters
schedule
and
I
will
find
the
space.
A
X
X
X
Like
not
officially
no,
but
our
team
is
working
on.
R
Eligible
which
sets
another
challenge
all
in
itself,
because
I
believe
last
year
we
still
had
a
shortage
of
buses.
If
I
was
correct,.
X
We
added
I.
X
X
X
We're
we're
we're
pretty
much
up
there
with
regards
to
what
we
pay
our
teachers.
I
do
have
a
slide
in
here.
That
shows
where
we
rank
for
our
teachers
and
I'll
be
able
to
share
that.
Thank
you.
Yes,
sir.
Our
challenges
are
in.
Our
24
budget
includes
a
request
for
a
larger
than
usual
amount
of
budget
support
from
Calvert
County
Government
state
aid.
Revenue
amounts
have
been
proposed,
but
not
finalized
by
the
state.
For
fy24,
our
state's
blueprint
is
adding
new
cost
pressures
to
all
public
school
districts.
X
X
Yeah
we
do
have
our
within
our
Budget.
Transportation
is
included.
X
Estimated
related
calls
so
I
want
you
to
pay
attention
to
the
salary
and
benefits
for
our
teachers.
There's
a
5.5
salary
increase,
we're
also
requesting
from
our
County
government
an
increase
for
our
casa
case
and
meet
and
confer
employees
so
we're
looking
at
administrators
all
of
our
education
support,
Specialists
and
those
individuals
who
are
on
meeting
confer
contracts,
in
addition
to
estimated
costs
for
our
nationally
board
certified
teachers.
So,
as
you
know,
if
we
have
10,
then
that
means
we
need.
You
know
the
amount
of
money
for
that
Staffing
additions
for
blueprint.
X
We
need
1.5
teachers
and
12
instructional
assistants
and
last
other
requirements
are
for
advanced
placement,
testing,
Career,
Technical
certification
and
dual
enrollment,
so
blueprint
cost
alone,
not
us
putting
together
a
budget
just
with
the
mandates
that
are
in
place.
We're
talking
about
9.9
million
dollars,
blueprint,
blueprint,
related
costs
and
I
just
want
to
be
clear.
X
We
as
a
school
district
would
like
to
support
our
Educators
that
are
not
defined
in
the
blueprint.
So,
for
example,
blueprint
are
talking
about
classroom
teachers.
As
you
know,
we
have
counselors,
we
have
social
workers,
we
have
phenomenal
education
support
Specialists
that
are
not
mandated
to
get
raises,
so
we're
proposing
that
for
them
as
well.
X
O
Ma'am,
thank
you.
You're
welcome
and
the
other
employees
I
see
a
one
step:
Advance
one
percent
salary
increase,
and
this
Inc,
who
does
this
include
again
like
your
counselors
and
teaching
assistants,
yep.
X
Yes,
ma'am
anyone,
that's
not
teaching
in
the
classroom,
but
work
in
our
school
district.
Okay,.
R
I
was
surprised
that
Maryland
didn't
include
that,
because
support
staff
is
is
so
vital.
They
really
are
I
mean
absolutely
I
mean
when
you're
in
and
out
of
the
schools,
especially
in
the
evening.
It's
it's
support.
Stack,
that's
that's!
In
there.
I
was
really
surprised
that
I
mean
you
know.
If
the
goal
is
the
education
level
across
the
state,
you
know
to
pick
it
up
or
so
to
speak,
they're
just
as
vital
my
20,
whatever
I
know
about
things
but
I
mean
I.
R
You
know
a
small
town,
you
get
to
know
a
lot
of
these
folks
and
I
mean
they
do
a
lot
of
the
Dirty
Work.
They
really
do.
I
mean
they.
So
I
was
just
surprised
that
Maryland
wouldn't
include
them.
I
I,
don't
like
when
it's
like.
Well,
you
always
hear
like
doctors
and
nurses,
fight
right.
H
X
I
I
I
X
O
Don't
usually
tell
stories,
but
I've
only
been
here
a
short
time,
but
I
can
tell
you
when
my
husband
was
in
third
grade
at
Catholic
school
and
a
nun
was
chasing
him.
The
custodian
hit
him
out
so
he's.
U
X
X
So
this
slide
here
is
just
a
reiteration
one
percent
step
Advanced
for
teaching
one
percent
salary
increase
previously
negotiated
and
the
5.5
salary
increase
the
way
we're
going
to
pay
that
is
2.75
at
the
beginning
of
the
school
year
and
2.75
in
March
of
24
to
meet
the
blueprint
requirement
of
10
by
June
30
of
24.
X
and
again
for
other
employees.
We
want
to
honor
their
one-step,
Advance
give
them
their
one
percent
salary
increase,
which
was
previously
negotiated
and
look
at
wage
and
salary
increases
that
are
comparable
by
employee
groups
to
the
teachers.
Pay
increase,
so
I
want
to
share
I,
know
our,
for
example
case.
They
want
us
to
put
in
writing
that
they're
going
to
get
this
in
the
upcoming
year,
I'm
not
able
to
give
that
to
them
in
writing
because
I
don't
have
it
to
give
them.
X
But
as
a
team,
you
know
we're
working
hard
to
advocate
for
them,
and
you
know
if
we
can
do
it.
I'm
just
sharing
this
with
our
commissioners.
If
we
can
bless
our
other
employees
not
defined
in
the
blueprint
that
would
do
major
positives
for
Calvert
County
public
schools,
because
we
know
as
administrators
about
those
individuals
a
lot
of
high
quality
teaching
and
learning
will
not
happen.
AB
R
Yeah
and
so
I
completely
understand,
and
there
was
a
separation.
You
know
I'm
glad
to
see
both
sides
are
working
together,
but
when
I
first
came
on
but
I
don't
know
and
that's
an
attorney
question
I,
don't
even
know
if
you're
able
to
provide
written
things
like
that
I,
don't
I,
don't
know
nothing.
I've
ever
been
a
part
of
right.
So
I,
you
know,
I,
don't
I,
don't
even
know.
If
that
is.
R
Yeah
I
know:
I,
am
the
ghost
of
the
past
still
live
in
the
building.
I
still
hear
stuff
from
retirees
that
you
know
talk
about
past
steps
and
stuff
and
I,
and
you
know
and
I
get
it
I
said.
Look
you
know
it's
nothing.
I
can
do
that
happened
12
years
ago,
13
years
ago,
on
me
and
I
can
only
affect
what
I
do
today
going
forward,
but
so
I
I
understand
the
mistrust
for
sure.
R
X
Clarify
where
president
has
asking
that
60
60
000
that's
for
first
coming
out
of
college
yeah.
X
Right,
Educators
that
are
making
less
than
that
is
that
what
you're
saying
like
if
they're
at
58,
that
you're
working
for
five
years,
you
know,
do
we
automatically
bump
them
up
to
60.?
That's
not
what
the
no.
A
A
C
R
R
I
think,
like
the
question
I
have
is
like,
let's
say
I'm
at
58.,
say
after
this
year's
budget,
after
steps
and
everything
I'm
at
58
and
next
year,
I
get
a
step
and
the
step
would
take
me
past
60..
Does
that
satisfy
the
blueprint
or
do
I
have
to
get
or
do
you
I
have
to
get
two
thousand
dollars
and
then
a
step?
On
top
of
that,
I
mean
it
sounds
to
me
and
like
say,
I
I,
there's
a
lot
of
verbage
in
this
document
that
once
you
hit
60
you've
satisfied
Maryland's
requirement.
R
X
X
R
X
All
right
teachers,
salary
rankings
across
Maryland-
it's
important
to
look
at
this
part
bachelor's
we're
not
in
the
top
eight
for
Masters.
We
are
eighth
on
the
average
teacher
makes
around
seventy
thousand
dollars
with
a
master's
degree,
and
when
you
look
at
our
masters,
Max
we're
ranked
fifth.
D
X
No
problem,
Transportation
costs
increase
as
you
can.
You
can
look
and
see
over
the
past.
You
know
eight
years,
almost
10
years,
where
our
transportation
costs
have
been
where
it's
been
in
the
last
three
years,
it
has
increased
45
over
the
last
five
years,
Future
Ready
district-wide
technology

we're
asking
for
2.6
million
dollars

upcoming
year.
This
is
a
part
of
the
five-year
investment
of
10.3
million.
This
is
the
this
is
the
fifth
year
of

for

X
Our
goal
is
to
ensure
that
we
have
technology
and
all
of
our
young
people,
hand
from
kindergarten
to
second
grade
those
young
people
do
not
have
access
to
their
own

It
is
third

through

However,
yes,

What
we're
requesting
for

for
our
technology
calls
all
of
our
technological
upgrades:
new

new

Yes,
sir.

Two
million
the
4.2
includes

reflect
the
increased

also

insurance
increases
and
the

that
are
associated
with
the
salary
and

increases
and,
of
course,
the
corresponding
increases
in

Compensation.
X
The
total
wage
and
salary
increase
from
fiscal
year
23
and
FY
24
is

towards
one
million

that
includes
all

that's
the
entire
total.

Unrestricted

X
X
Our
unrestricted
Revenue
funding
source-
if
you
can
see
the
last
column,
that's
the
change
of
24.9
million
dollars
from
what
was
adopted
in
the
last
Academic
Year
last
fiscal
year.
Compared
to
now
that's
a
24.9
million
dollar
increase,
which
includes
the
14
million
dollars
from
salary.
The
staff
for
the
blueprint
their
teachers
not
identified
in
the
blueprint
and
I'm
going
to
share
with
the
other
information
is
for.
X
So,
okay,
so
now
here,
if
the
blueprint
was
not
in
place,
you
know
trying
to
be
the
best
school
system
possible
with
regards
to
human
capital,
the
data
that
was
said
about
our
student
achievement,
investment
in
Safety
and
Security.
X
We're
looking
at
the
administration
level
to
add
an
additional
to
to
assistant
principals
at
our
high
school
Northern
High
School
Huntingtown
high
school
has
four
assistant
principles:
Calvert
High,
School,
Patuxent,
High
School
has
three
assistant
principles:
we're
looking
to
have
four
across
the
board
to
add
an
assistant
principal
at
Calvert
and
an
assistant
principal
at
Patuxent.
The
need
is
definitely
there.
I
know
some
of
the
information
you
may
hear
come
from.
You
know
some
of
those
campuses
you
hear
from
which
is
one
to
ensure
that
we're
on
point
there.
X
When
you
look
at
the
administration
changes,
those
are
I.T
support
Specialists,
so
we
had
in
the
previous
years,
have
been
paying
salaries
of
those
individuals
out
of
our
I.T
budget,
but
it
was
a
grant
that
money
has
dried
up.
That
work
still
needs
to
be
done.
Those
are
valuable
employees
to
us,
we're
absorbing
that
in
our
general
fund.
That's
why
it's
added
here
the
instructional,
salary
and
wages.
X
If
you
look
at
that
third
row,
that
is,
for
our
Pre-K
instructor,
the
one
and
a
half
percent
that
excuse
me
one
and
a
half
teacher
in
the
12
Pre-K
assistants.
That's
with
that
13.5
makes
up.
We
look
at
student
services.
That
is
our
support
safety
advocates
for
our
Middle
School.
We
have
six
middle
schools,
but
only
three
safety
Advocates.
So
one
safety
Advocate
is
sharing
two
schools.
X
We
need
a
safety
Advocate
at
every
one
of
our
middle
schools
to
ensure
we
can
get
climate
and
culture
under
control,
meaning
behavioral
supports
working
as
safely
as
possible,
especially
with
our
resource
officers.
We
need
1.5
bus
assistant
to
support
our
student
transportation
in
capital
outlay
and
maintenance
plant.
You
see
that
negative
one
and
that
one
we
just
transferred
the
position
from
one
to
another.
So
it's
not
an
addition.
It's
just
showing
that
we've
moved
the
position
from
our
maintenance
to
our
Capital
outlay
team,
but
that's
a
total
of
28
additional
positions.
A
A
A
V
X
Out
in
two
years,
so
we're
very
clear
that
these
are
Grant
funded
positions,
meaning
the
money
is
not
guaranteed.
So
if
you
see
where
Administration
this
is
8.2,
we
did
not
do.
AF
X
And
that's
why
we're
absorbing
those
jobs
in
this
upcoming
year?
They
were
not
made
aware
that
those
were
Grant
funded
positions.
We
need
the
work,
it's
great
work.
Those
individuals
been
with
us
a
number
of
years,
but
as
we
move
forward,
Grant
funded
positions,
our
grant
funded
positions,
the
money
is
not
there.
The
position
is
not
there.
A
That's
the
problem,
you
know
grants
are
wonderful
things,
we
all
use
grants,
but
then
you
hire
these
people
on
a
grant
and
two
years
from
now,
I'd
be
willing
to
bet
a
certain
amount
of
money.
You're
going
to
be
sitting
right
here
saying
we
need
to
absorb
these
22
people,
because
the
work
they
do
is
really
important
and
we
can't
afford
to
lose
them.
That.
A
X
Because
they
won't
be
important
in
two
years,
I
want
to
say
they
will
have
the
opportunity
to
apply
for
other
jobs
in
the
district.
If
there
is
definitely
a
need
that
we
have
to
have
if
it's
worth
advocating,
for
we
will
do
that.
But
you
know
the
way
the
contract
shall
be
written
is
that
this
is
a
grant
funded
position
that
lasts
approximately
two
years.
If
the
position
doesn't,
if
the
money
doesn't
exist,
the
position
doesn't
exist.
A
X
R
So
I'm
glad
to
hear
you
say
that
that
that
is
written
in
the
contract
that
way,
because
what
happens
is
after
the
two
years
is
all
of
a
sudden.
It
becomes
well
I
got
let
go
by
the
school
system
today
they
didn't
find.
You
know
what
I
mean
so
I'm
glad
that's
clearly
defined.
We've
experienced
some
of
those
things
from
time
to
time,
and
you
know,
and
because
commissioner
Hans
is
Right,
grants
go
away
and
they're
there
for
specific
purpose.
R
You
know
so
not
necessarily
a
long-term
solution,
so
I'm
glad
to
hear
you
say
that
it
is
especially
written
in
that
contract
when
they
come
on.
So.
I
X
L
X
Budget
unknowns
for
fiscal
year
24
starting
with
Revenue.
We
still
don't
know
our
actual
state
aid
allocation
in
our
actual
Grant
award
amount
with
regards
to
expenditures.
Our
actual
blueprint
related
calls,
actual
employee
health
insurance
costs
and
actual
September
2023
enrollment.
We
do
have
a
projection,
but
the
actual
is
what
we're
looking
for.
In
addition
to
our
actual
utility
costs
and
Degree
Days,
our
children
are
our
only
hope
for
the
future,
but
we
are
their
only
hope
for
their
present
and
their
future.
X
That
was
from
Zig
Ziglar
our
budget
and
and
I'm
I
think
I'm
at
the
end
of
the
slide
and
then
we'll
field.
Any
questions
you
have
our
budget
calendar
for
this
Academic
Year,
as
you
know,
in
October,
is
when
our
budget
development
began
based
on
staff
requests
and
our
estimated
Revenue
I
shared
this
presentation
with
our
Board
of
Education
on
January
26th
between
that
time
and
March
16th,
the
Board
of
Education,
we're
constantly
receiving
comments
regarding
the
budget
on
March
23rd.
X
Our
Board
of
Education
proposed
budget
must
be
approved
and
submitted
to
our
County
government
for
inclusion
in
the
County's
budget.
As
you
know,
last
Thursday
we
did
have
a
budget
work
session
with
our
Board
of
Education.
To
you
know,
ask
I
think
we
we've
probably
filled
it.
Ladies
and
gentlemen,
probably
over
300
questions
about
the
budget,
the
goal
is
to
be
as
transparent
and
open
as
much
as
possible,
so
we
can
do
the
best
we
possibly
can
for
Calvert
County,
Public
Schools
and
very
last.
In
June
after
the
county
approves
the
budget.
X
The
Board
of
Education
will
have
the
opportunity
to
adopt
the
budget.
We
are
very,
very
aware
how
challenging
this
is
for
the
county,
but
we
are
team
Calvin
and
we
are
definitely
confident
collectively
we'll
get
something
done
for
our
community
and
I
want
to
share
this.
For
anyone.
X
That's
watching
there's
still
a
written
comment
period,
written
comments,
but
will
be
accepted
in
two
ways:
by
U.S
mail
you
can
send
it
to
Calvert
County
Public
Schools
Board
of
Education
copy
Karen
Maxie
at
1305,
Dairy,
Beach,
Road,
Prince,
Frederick,
Maryland
20678,
or
by
email
at
Boe
meeting
facilitator
at
calvertnet.k12.md.us
and
we'll
be
accepting
that
information
through
March
16th
of
2023.
I
O
Just
a
comment:
there's
very
little
money
put
into
special
education
that
concerns
me
or
what
kind
of
outcomes
are
we
getting
with
our
special
education?
Children?
Yes,.
X
Yes,
so
this
Academic
Year,
we
do
have
Miss
kindy,
Dr,
Kenny,
Anderson,
who's,
a
new
special
education
director
with
our
district,
who
works
extremely
hard
with
our
special
education
supervisor.
She
did
work
with
her
team
to
develop
a
budget.
We've
shared
that
budget
with
our
Board
of
Education,
we're
confident
with
her
team
and
the
team
that
she's
working
with
with
the
teachers,
the
Specialists
the
supervisors,
that
we
will
get
great
outcomes
with
our
young
people.
X
One
thing
we
were
cited
for
in
the
past
prior
to
my
arrival,
was
how
we
handled
seclusions
and
restraints,
which
is
prohibited
by
Maryland
State
Department
of
Education.
We've
been
on
top
of
that
big
time,
reducing
our
non-compliance
with
regards
to
that,
additionally,
working
with
our
IEP
processes,
ensuring
that
all
of
our
young
people
who
receive
special
education
support
have
updated
individualized
education
plans
working
closely
monitoring
Behavior
identifying
if
young
people
are
exhibiting
behaviors,
is
it
a
manifestation
of
their
disability
or
not?
X
Something
called
MDR
review
manifestation
determination,
determination,
review
and
we
have
a
great
team
in
special
education.
That
is
one
subgroup
that
I'm
happy
to
see
what
their
academic
achievement
looks
like
when
they
take
the
mcap
assessment.
When
we
break
up
all
of
our
out
of
the
15
000
students
that
attest,
we
look
at
all
subgroups
from
special
education
to
black
students,
to
our
white
students
to
our
mckinley-vento
students.
We
look
at
all
ranges
of
students
that
we
support
and
I
do
think.
We
have
a
good
special
education
department,
I.
O
Know
when
I
was
running
for
this
position,
that
was
one
thing
I
heard
throughout
my
campaign
that
we
can
do
better
with
special
education
and
test
scores
for
special
education
students.
While
that
is
great,
there
are
so
many
other
variables
that
have
to
be
addressed
and
I
hope
that
we
have
in
place
and
those
services
for
these
children
and
their
parents,
because
it's
very
important
it
is.
It
is
a
challenge
they
are
not
to
be
overlooked.
So
thank
you.
D
So
a
couple
questions
we
can't
go
out
to
lunch
or
dinner
without
people
asking
us
about
Playbook,
yes,
sir,
so
I
know
we
talked
the
other
day
about
a
couple:
different
programs.
You
might
interject
this
coming
year.
So
on
page
68
we
have
behavioral
support
for
8
860
000,
and
then
we
have
Workforce
Development
for
923
800.
D
X
Of
that
you
know
you
are
going
to
yes,
sir,
so
let
me
just
be
clear:
you
here,
I
hear
it
about
discipline
in
our
classrooms
and
discipline
in
our
school
I
have
to
do
something
about
it.
You
know
there
are
programs
that
exist.
There
are
people
that
exist.
There
are
opportunities
for
our
students
that
exist
out
there.
X
You
know
I,
don't
want
to
put
an
extra
burden
on
our
teachers.
I
teach
I'm
working
hard.
Now
you
know
this
is
potentially
burnout
Seasons,
you
have
spring
break
coming
up,
but
March
is
a
long
stretch
until
you
get
to
Spring
Break.
Looking
at
Playbook
instantly,
I
had
to
do
something
for
our
secondary
schools.
You
heard
like
I
heard,
or
you
saw
like
I,
saw
the
concerns
and
the
complaints.
My
background
is
in
secondary
education.
I
was
a
high
school
principal
and
assistant
superintendent
that
supported
secondary
education.
X
X
Well
is
climate
and
culture
and
student
discipline.
What
I
tell
our
team
is,
as
climate
and
culture
goes,
so
goes
curriculum
and
instruction,
so
the
Playbook
I
did
something
instantly
to
inject
some
support
at
our
secondary
level,
but
I
share
with
our
Board
of
Education
at
our
previous
board
meeting
is
looking
at
I
just
want.
Let's
compare
apples
to
apples,
fights,
assaults,
students,
assaults
on
adults,
students,
assaults
on
each
other
potential
sexual
assaults,
we're
down
right
now
as
a
district
compared
to
this
time.
X
Now
we
projected
that
cost
of
what
it
would
cost
the
playbook,
for
example,
if
I
did
that
at
all
secondary
school,
every
high
school
and
every
Middle
School,
where
most
of
the
behaviors
are,
but
because
that's
a
nice
chunk
of
change.
If
we
spread
that
across
all
of
our
schools,
we're
talking
about
roughly
a
thirty
four
thousand
dollar
investment
at
all,
25
of
our
schools
to
support
climate
and
culture
or
behavior,
something
shall
be
done
must
be
done
and
there's
multiple
things
out
there.
X
When
I
was
a
principal
when
I
worked
at
the
central
office
in
the
District
of
Columbia,
when
I
was
an
assistant
superintendent,
safe
in
civil
schools,
which
is
based
out
of
Portland
Oregon,
they
have
something
called
Champs
or
discipline
in
the
secondary
classroom.
There's
a
lot
of
resources
out
there.
There's
a
social
and
emotional
curriculum
that
I
I'm
familiar
with
in
the
past,
one
of
the
highest
rate
of
call
positive
actions
which
teaches
how
young
people
should
respond
in
times
of
difficulty.
X
Some
support
needs
to
be
out
there
for
our
teachers
as
a
resource,
because
I
don't
want
anyone
saying
things
are
happening.
What
are
we
doing
about?
What
are
we
doing?
What
I'm
doing
about
it
is
getting
the
best
program.
I
know
that's
battle,
tested
battle,
approved,
putting
it
in
a
beautiful
District
like
Albert
County
and
rising
up
our
goal
and
hope
for
Calvert
County
Public
School
by
the
grace
of
God
in
the
next
three
four
years
is
be
top
one
two
or
three
school
district
and
I'm
not
interested
in
two
or
three.
X
To
be
honest
with
you,
we
can
be
a
top
school
district
in
the
state
of
Maryland
because
of
the
talent
that
we
have
at
the
administrative
level,
the
teacher
level,
the
education
support
level,
the
district
level.
We
have
a
lot
of
talent,
a
lot
of
engaged
parents,
as
you
see
their
groups,
their
social
media
groups
out
there
that's
very
engaged,
but
we
pull
all
that
together.
Why
can
we
not
be
the
top
school
system
in
the
state
of
Maryland?
There's
no
excuse!
That's
what
I
tell
the
team.
X
It's
no
excuse
for
the
complaints
we
hear
about
behaviors
or
the
lack
of
academic
achievement,
there's
no
excuse
for
it
and
by
the
grace
of
God.
Ladies
and
gentlemen,
over
time,
I'm
confident
with
the
team,
we
have
with
the
requests
that
we're
asking
we're
going
to
be
fine
in
two
three
four
years
for
sure.
So.
L
D
Talk
about
behavior
and
safety,
can
you
just
Enlighten
us
a
little
bit
on?
How
do
you
feel
we
rake
in
the
safety
of
our
schools?
It
was
had
a
lady
call
me
yesterday
and
she
said
that
her
child
was
afraid
to
eat
at
school
because
he
didn't
want
to
go
to
the
restrooms
during
your
lunch
because
we
lock
them
down.
We
only
leave
two
open.
Do
we
do
that
in
the
middle
schools
and
elementary
schools
too,
or
is
that
only
high
schools
that
we.
L
AD
X
W
X
Are
younger
so
I
do
trust
what
our
Administration
is
doing
to
support
students
at
theater
schools,
but
I'm
happy
to
look
and
see
if
anything
is
wrong.
That's
being
done!
I've
not
heard
this.
That's
not
come
to
my
best.
Okay
yeah.
I
X
Let
me
tell
you:
we
love
our
resource
officers
and
I
know
that's
a
budget
thing
too.
Personally,
let's
say
if,
if
I
had
a
wish
list,
if
I
could
have
one
in
every
school
building,
I
love
that
we
always
have
a
great
working
relationship
with
our
County
Sheriff's
Office
I
do
work
or
see.
Often
our
resource
officers
at
all
of
our
schools
engage
with
kids
great
relationships
with
kids
when
I
was
a
high
school
principal.
X
X
Yeah
now
I'd
like
to
send
our
principals
with
the
resource
officer,
because
they're
they're
they're
a
unit
they
work
closely
together
and
they
deal
with
some
of
the
you
know,
top
tier
support,
young
people
that
need
support.
Those
resource
offices
are
invaluable,
so
I
love
them.
They
work
well
with
us
what
we
can
do
and
our
friends
with
the
safety
Advocates,
but
having
an
extra
layer
of
support,
just
ensures
safety
because
Lord
forbid,
if
something
you
know
terrible,
was
to
be
considered
in
this
community.
I
know
that
we
have
support.
I
That,
when
I
saw
the
behavior
of
860
thousand
dollars
request,
that's
right
where
I
want
I
mean
to
me
you're,
going
to
get
a
lot
more
bang
for
your
buck.
If
you
did
salaries
because
they're
there
every
single
day,
they're
a
mentor
to
these
kids
and
one
of
my
questions
to
you
was:
could
this
funding
go
towards
safety
Advocates
a.
X
Portion
of
it
absolutely
can
I'll
tell
you
why
so
the
12
resource
officers
that
we
have
I
think
the
13
that
we
have
in
our
school
district.
With
our
memorandum
of
understanding
that
we
have,
we,
we
I
think
we
pay
a
little
under
200
000
for
the
support
that
we're
receiving
based
on
how
the
mou
is
Rich
and
we
pay
for
all
the
vehicles,
all
the
equipment.
All
of
us
all
about
all
of
this.
We.
X
X
Playbook
I,
don't
think
it's
either
or
I
think
it's
both
hand.
I
think
we
need
both
because
there's
you
know,
officers
like
a
principal
is
one
person.
You
know
when
you're
talking
about
a
school
of
you
know.
1210
needs
high
level
support
hard
on
one
person,
but
if
you
have
a
system
one
thing
we
have
in
Calvert
County
Public
Schools
something
called
multi-tiered
system
of
support.
It's
mtss
hate
to
use
education
jargon.
X
But
if
you
look
at
Behavior
academic
and
the
social
and
emotional
makeup
of
our
young
people,
we
can
do
that
at
an
instructional
level
and
ensure
that's
embedded
in
our
curriculum
embedded
in
our
transitions
in
our
schools,
and
that
resource
officer
is
an
extra
layer
of
support
in
the
event
that
something
is
outside
of
what
we
offer
as
an
instructional
program.
But.
I
X
To
be
clear,
the
behavioral
support
is
not
specific
to
a
program.
That's
us
looking
at
anything,
that's
out
there
that
supports
student
achievements.
So
that's
not
just
so.
I
can
bring
the
speaker
in
to
talk
to
kids.
That's
not
what
that
is
when
I
talk
about
safe
and
civil
schools,
for
example,
that's
a
curriculum
for
adults
to
structure
their
schools
structure,
their
classrooms.
X
For
example,
when
I
was
a
high
school
principal
I
worked
with
safe
and
civil
schools
and
on
our
full
day
professional
development
days,
we
had
four
of
them:
I'd
bring
our
consultant
from
safe
and
civil
schools
and
they
would
reinforce
how
we
or
do
something
something
called
TFI,
a
tiered
Fidelity
inventory.
How
effectively
are
we
implementing
tier
one
instruction
and
support
we
have
for
our
kids?
So
it's
like
the
checks
and
balances
that
come
in
for
teachers
to
support
their
students.
A
X
Yes,
so
the
Playbook
program
was
a
is
a
because
it's
currently
going
on
it's
a
program
where
our
young
people
are
focused
on
literacy
and
Leadership.
So
there
are
monthly
sessions
at
every
one
of
our
high
schools
that
occur
for
over
an
hour
where
50
of
our
most
needed
students,
whether
Behavior
academic
or
social,
emotionally
receive
support
through
the
leadership
and
literacy
trainings
from
The
Playbook
component
and
and
we
have
those
young
people
going
in
there
every
day.
X
I
know
we
had
one
of
our
Board
of
Education
members
sit
in
on
one
of
the
program.
It's
open
to
all
of
our
board
members
to
observe
the
young
people.
It's
a
virtual
opportunity
where
there's
a
speaker
that
speaks
with
the
young
people,
introduce
them
to
books,
talk
about
leadership,
components
and
those
young
people
go
back
into
the
school
community
and
over
time
have
their
behavior
adjust
to
the
program.
At
the
top
of
the
Year.
X
There
was
a
major
kickoff
with
all
of
our
schools,
meaning
every
student
in
the
school
had
the
opportunity
to
hear
from
Dr
Eric
Thomas.
Who
is
a
the
number
one
motivational
speaker
in
the
country
and
he
did
a
phenomenal
session
with
all
of
the
young
people
over
multiple
hours
with
other
guest
speakers
to
just
encourage
and
motivate.
One
thing
about
motivation
is
the
difference
between
motivation
and
discipline.
Motivation
is
you're,
excited
you're
fired
up,
you're
pumped
up,
but
then
the
next
day
come
and
now
you
got
to
be
disciplined.
X
So
the
Playbook
program
is
the
motivation
that
jumps
off
and
then
the
discipline
piece
for
those
50
young
people
that
need
the
support
and
that
goes
through
May
there's.
So
if
you
look
at
all
of
our
schools,
I
believe
every
school
and
receiving
nine
sessions
in
total.
So
that's
nine
times.
Four
is
what
36
total
sessions
at
all
of
our
schools:
literacy,
leadership.
Now,
there's
a
student
exposure
opportunity.
That
was
the
controversy
which
was
the
Playbook.
You
don't
have
to
do
that.
X
I
can
say
I
don't
want
to
do
it
just
give
me
the
program
you're
not
paying
for
student
exposure
that
comes
through
a
foundation
that
donates
opportunities
for
our
kids.
So
people
heard
about
the
Playbook,
but
are
excuse
me
heard
about
the
Super
Bowl,
but
they
don't
know
that
we
rented
out
the
flagship
movie
theater
over
200
students
in
there
you
know
building
relationships
watching
movies.
They
don't
know
about
the
bowling
night
at
the
Calvin
place.
X
It's
just
exposure
opportunities
for
young
people
to
develop
relationships,
develop
good
decision,
making,
skills,
camaraderie
and
understand
that
you
know
PBIS,
which
I
know
you've
heard
that
before
positive
behaviors
interventions
and
support,
that's
been
in
place
forever,
meaning
if
a
kid
do
good
all
week
to
get
a
sticker,
get
a
sticker
cash
it
in
cash
in
some
ticket
and
get
a
pencil
or
get
an
eraser,
or
something
like
that.
This
is
a
muscularized
version
of
that
for
secondary.
X
O
X
R
You
know
you
you
bring
that
up.
You
know
that
used
to
happen.
Naturally,
here
when
we
only
had
two
high
schools-
and
you
know
when
it
was
just
Northern
and
Calvert
the
career
center
was
that,
because
everybody
took
something
over
there,
I'm
going
to
make
people
mad,
at
least
it's
the
career.
Give
me
the
new
acronym.
A
R
Thank
you,
I
know
what
the
old
term
was
that
get
rock
stared
at
me
when
it
was
when
I
went
to
school
there,
but
you
know
you
could
grow
up
like
I
did
in
Drum
Point
and
might
not
know
anybody
from
Dunkirk,
but
you
met
there
and
you
got
long
lasting
friendships
from
being
in
classrooms
with
that.
We
don't
have
that
now,
because
with
four
different
high
schools,
a
person
could
go
to
Patuxent
and
never
know
somebody
from
honeytown.
R
So
what
you're
creating
there
is,
is
what
used
to
happen
in
that
building
because
it
forced
us,
you
know
because
it'd
be
covered
against
Northern
and
football
or
basketball,
or
what
have
you,
but
now
that's
the
guy.
You
got
to
know
in
your
class
all
day
long
and
you
became
friends
with
that
person.
I
have
friends
to
this
day
that
I
met
through
there
and
that's,
if
you
don't
know
the
history
of
this
place,
you
know
you,
you
know
we
took
it
for
granted.
You
know
I
mean
it
happened.
R
X
I
share
one
small
story
and
I'll
turn
it
back
to
you
for
coming.
You
just
have
to
know
why
I'm
wired
the
way
I
am
most
people
would
never
know
this.
Those
that
know
me
know,
but
let
me
just
share
this:
I
had
a
tough
High,
School
career
secondary
career,
it
wasn't
I,
didn't
put
on
it
I'm,
naturally,
a
big
guy
right
because
of
certain
teachers,
coaches
or
counsel.
X
Whoever
that
came
into
my
life
I
did
not
put
a
helmet
on
my
head
until
I
was
17
years
old,
my
senior
year
in
high
school,
because
someone
did
something
different
for
me
cared
enough,
and
that,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
turned
to
a
football
scholarship
that
I
didn't
deserve.
I'll
be
honest
with
you.
People
wanted
to
make
sure.
X
I
was
good
in
life,
because
I
had
some
characteristics
very
rough,
around
the
edges,
I'm
born
and
raised
in
Detroit
Michigan,
and
a
graduate
of
Detroit
public
school
and
I
say
that
proudly
because
of
the
Educators
I
ran
into
and
that
football
scholarship
turned
into
a
doctorate
degree.
I
mean-
and
it's
my
duty
to
reach
back
and
give
to
some
young
person,
like
somebody
gave
to
me,
changed
the
trajectory
of
my
life
forever.
I,
don't
know
where
I
was
headed
now
respectfully
I
love.
X
My
father
here
hit
50
years
at
Ford
Motor
Company
this
year,
both
of
my
brothers
work
at
Ford,
Motor
Company,
all
of
my
uncles,
Chrysler
GM,
General,
Motors,
Granddad
retired,
from
Chrysler
I
I've
wanted
to
be
in
the
automotive
industry,
but
I
took
a
little
turn
in
my
life
and
and
and
if,
if
I
can
positively
change
the
trajectory
of
a
young
person's
life,
that's
what
I'm
dedicated
to
doing
so.
It
doesn't
seem
traditional.
X
It
is
a
bit
unconventional,
but
it's
with
good
faith
in
mind
and
I
will
never
do
anything
to
misuse
tax
prepared
money.
X
It's
always
done
with
research,
high
level,
investment
and
and
battle
tested
battle,
approved
programs
I
just
share
that
to
just
give
a
small
philosophy
on
why
I
kind
of
reach
for
different
opportunities
to
reach
young
people,
because
if
somebody
was
able
to
find
me
a
16
17
year
old,
a
mature
teenager
with
my
future
already
determined
and
switched
me
up
I
do
believe
we
can
still
catch
some
young
people
in
that
same
net
and
and
get
some
positive
investment
on
their
lives.
Yes,
sir,
could.
D
V
I'll
be
happy
to
respond,
there's
not
a
process
per
se
for
changing
the
fund
balance,
but
here's
how
it
changes
between
the
beginning
of
the
fiscal
year
and
the
end
of
the
fiscal
year.
We
take
the
beginning
fund
balance
as
of
July
1,
for
instance,
fund
balance
last
year,
July
1
and
then
we
add
the
total
revenues
for
the
whole
fiscal
year,
subtract
the
total
expenditures
for
the
entire
fiscal
year,
and
that
gives
us
the
ending
fund
balance.
As
of
June
30.
This
fiscal
year.
V
V
We
have
a
note
in
the
audit
report
on
page
50,
I'm,
sorry
44,
that
breaks
down
the
assignment
of
the
fund
balance
and
of
the
total
fund
balance
for
the
general
fund.
There
was
seven
point
in
round
number:
7.3
million
was
unassigned
of
the
24.054
million.
O
X
So
so
yes,
so
we
did
create
a
department
of
communications,
Miss,
Renee,
Daniels
she's,
our
chief
Communications
officer,
a
district
of
our
size.
And
if
you
look
across
the
state
of
Maryland,
you
need
a
department
of
communications.
I
know
you
have
one
at
the
county
level
to
support
with
high
level
Communications,
whether
good
or
bad,
all
social
media.
All
of
our
website-
and
you
said,
the
new
positions
that
are
proposed.
How
many
are
coming
out
of
fun
balance?
What
was
the
next
part
of.
V
Part
of
that,
the
new
Communications
position
that
was
created
this
year
and
we
did
have
a
position
similar
with
a
different
title
a
few
years
ago,
the
new
position.
This
year's
is
being
funded
with
transfers
from
other
budget
Lines
within
the
same
category,
including
in
the
finance
office,
where
we
had
some
positions
that
were
unfilled
at
the
beginning
of
the
fiscal
year.
Okay,
what.
O
O
X
So
I'll
say
so.
One
thing
we
talk
about
is
a
Roi.
That's
the
academic
return
on
investment
every
year
as
an
executive
team,
we
will
go
through
our
budget
and
look
at
what
we're
not
getting
a
return
on
investment
are
and
that's
where
you
can
find
savings
so,
for
example,
in
this
upcoming
year,
when
we're
designing
our
budget
and
potentially
what
we're
going
to
be
funded,
not
funded,
there's
going
to
be
some
hard
cuts
that
potentially
will
be
made.
O
Okay
does
I
had
one
question
and
I've
been
writing
notes
for
days?
What
has
the
analysis
been
done
on
West
Ed?
AF
X
X
O
X
X
A
They're
not
going
to
give
us
anything
for
blueprint.
They've
already
returned
determined
that
we're
the
most
wealthiest
county
in
the
state
of
Maryland
and
they're,
going
to
tell
us
to
tax
our
citizens
to
pay
for
it.
So
if
you're,
counting
on
any
big
influx
from
the
state
to
help
cover
blueprint,
I
wouldn't
do
that.
You
know
they've
already
determined
that,
because
the
little
number
I
heard
was
like
1.8
million,
which
is
nothing
it's
nothing
and
we'd
be
lucky.
A
V
I
X
So
the
biggest
challenge
and
I'll
be
honest
with
you:
it's
finding
high
quality
instructors,
for
example,
we
have
an
electrical
program
with
no
teacher
there,
because
his
heart
is
the
human
capital.
The
Personnel
doesn't
exist.
In
some
cases
we
do
have
a
phenomenal
principle
of
CTA
and
director
of
CTE
with
Miss
Carrie
Atkins,
and
that's
just
a
constant
conversation
of
what
we
can
do.
X
What
we
could
potentially
add
one
thing
she's
excited
about
when
I
introduce
here
is
something
called
Esports,
which
is
an
opportunity
to
bring
to
Calvert
County
Public
Schools
Esports
is
electronic
Sports.
So,
as
you
know,
young
people
play
video
games
already
on
their
phones
or
whatever,
but
there's
universities
across
the
country
that
offer
scholarships
to
top
Esports
students
that
can
potentially
live
into
our
CTA
program
and
CTE
program
in
each
one
of
our
schools.
So
we're
looking
at
new
potential
programs,
but
also
still
trying
to
recruit
the
best
instructors
out
there.
X
The
problem
is
in
some
cases
we
pay
less
than
industry,
so
we
want
the
best
welder
out
there.
It's
hard
to
recruit
a
welder
from
industry
into
the
school
settings
right
after
salary
for
half
the
salary.
That's
a
major
major
problem.
The
interest
in
CTA
and
CTE
has
increased.
The
demand
is
there,
but
the
supply.
What's.
I
C
X
L
H
X
As
a
matter
of
fact,
she
was
her
organization's
director
of
the
year,
so
we
are
exhausting
that
option,
but
I
will
say
you
know
the
a
lot
of
it
is
to
do
how
we
Market
ourselves
as
a
school
district
and
community
in
our
program
and
right
now
we're
on
our
human
resources
department
they're
out
recruiting
now
an
important
part
of
a
Communications
Department
is
to
signal
boost
when
we
have
job
openings
and
to
amplify
and
do
hype
videos
for
the
program.
X
We
already
have
I'd
love
to
work
with
Calvin
broadcast
again
to
create
a
highlight
reel
of
our
CTA
programming
that
we
can
use
to
recruit
administrators
or
instructors
to
come
and
work
for
us,
but
also
to
keep
that
in
the
back
of
our
mind,
of
our
students
that
are
interested
in
the
program.
So
I
think
it's
an
advertising
at
this
point,
because
education
as
a
whole,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
gets
a
bad
reputation.
A
bad
rap
and
people
don't
want
to
work
with
kids.
X
R
I'm
Dr
I,
just
I,
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
you
and
Scott.
It's
gonna
be
the
most
difficult
one
I've
approached
this
will
be.
My
ninth
budget
I.
Think
it's
important
that,
however,
we
get
down
to
whatever
the
numbers
are
that
we
make
sure
it's
a
sustainable
budget.
Yes,
sir
I
mean
the
work
with
has
been
fantastic,
so
I
want
to.
Thank
you
guys
for
I
have
a
lot
more
information
today
and
I
mean
it's
just
it's
it's
going
to
be
difficult.
I
mean
I.
R
Think
this
there's
what
24
jurisdictions
in
this
state
in
all
24
jurisdictions
are
going
to
have
a
difficult
time.
I
mean
it
is
politicians
have
a
way
you
know.
There's
somebody
said
you
know.
Politicians
know
how
to
fill
out
the
back
of
the
check,
but
taxpayers
now
to
fill
out
the
front
you
know.
So
this
is
the
main
thing.
I
think
is
looking
past
today,
because
we
already
know
there's
challenges
next
year
and
the
year
after.
So
it's
making
sure
that
we
we
come
up
with
a
budget.
R
We
know
sustainable
fiscally
smart,
and
so
you
know
just
thanks
guys
and
we'll
keep
keep
working
at
it.
A
Thank
you,
I
do
want
to
thank
you,
along
with
commissioner
Hart,
commissioner
Hart
and
I
have
met
with
Mr,
Johnson
and
superintendent.
Several
times
already
been
through
the
budget
line
by
line
and
as
you
said,
it's
an
historic
dollar
amount
that
you're
asking
for,
and
there's
been
a
lot
of
questions
today,
but
we
have
three
three
new
Commissioners
that
have
never
been
through
this
process
before
you've
never
been
through
this
process
before
so
it's
always
the
more
communication
we
can
have
the
better.
Yes,
and,
as
commissioner
said,
you
know,
this
ain't
the
end
of
blueprint.
H
A
You
know
at
the
end
of
the
day
the
taxpayers
foot
this
bill
and
we
have
a
fiscal
obligation
to
make
sure
that
you
know
the
dollars
are
being
spent
appropriately
and
properly.
And
if
you
haven't
watched
before
you,
don't
always
get
everything
you
want.
But
you
get
something
so
we'll
work
through
this
process,
and
we
really
do
appreciate
you
coming
here
today.
A
J
O
AH
AH
Train
keeps
rolling.
That's
right,
that's
exactly
right!
Well,
my
name
is
Yolanda
Wilson
and
I
am
so
honored
to
meet
all
of
you
and
to
serve
as
the
sixth
president
of
the
College
of
Southern
Maryland.
It
has
been
an
amazing
60
days
and
it
is
so
wonderful
to
be
back
in
my
home.
State
I
have
the
pleasure
of
introducing
first
to
my
left,
trustee
Jay
Webster
who's
here
to
join
me.
AH
I
married
a
man
from
North
Carolina,
which
is
what
took
me
away
from
the
home
state,
is
oftentimes.
Love
will
do
and
we've
been
married,
almost
25
years
and
I
have
served
in
my
role
in
the
North
Carolina
community
college
system.
Many
institutions
that
served
more
than
one
County
service
area
and
I
found
in
doing
that
that
it's
really
important
that
each
County
gets
its
own
attention,
that
each
of
its
needs
are
served
uniquely
and
I
found
that
that
is
an
opportunity
and
not
a
challenge.
AH
I've
been
able
to
do
that
at
quite
a
few
institutions.
I've
also
found
that
there's
commonalities
among
the
the
county
service
areas,
for
example,
as
I've
been
listening.
The
past
60
days,
I've
heard
that
everyone
is
experiencing
a
teacher
shortage
that
there
are
Health
Care
needs
and
that
our
CEOs
of
the
Health
Care
Systems
we
actually
hosted
them
at
our
new
Center
for
Health
Sciences,
could
use
more
front-facing
and
nursing
practitioners
there's
also
a
need
for
a
more
robust
Transportation
infrastructure.
AH
I've
heard
that
in
conversing
with
folks
and
we're
talking
about
how
do
we
think
through
a
Transportation
Hub,
so
that
students
who
can
only
go
to
One
location,
did
not
have
the
burden
of
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
go
to
multiple
campus
locations
in
a
45-minute
travel.
Drive
and
I've
also
heard
that's
in
common.
How
do
we
build
up
our
Broadband
access?
So
no
student
has
to
try
to
find
a
hot
spot
device
in
a
McDonald's
parking
lot.
AH
So
we
have
a
lot
in
common
among
the
Three
Counties
and
then
there's
unique
aspects
of
each
one.
I
know
that
it's
my
priority
and
my
duty
to
spend
that
time.
Learning
what
those
are
and
I,
don't
presume
to
say
to
Calvert
County
or
Charles
County
or
St
Mary's
County.
This
is
what
I
think
that
you
need
to
do.
AH
We
know
where
students
were
coming
from
and
we
connect
them
to
where
students
are
going
to,
whether
that's
transfer
or
business
and
industry.
So
it's
absolutely
critical
that
we
are
that
bridge,
one
of
the
things
that
I
heard
even
before
I
joined
and
had
the
opportunity
of
serving
in
this
role,
even
during
my
interview,
I
had
about
11,
open
forums.
AH
They
can't
do
five
or
six
classes
at
once,
so
because
of
cognitive
load
they
may
take
one
or
two
classes
at
a
time.
Well
that
works
well,
because
then
I
can
take
one
or
two
classes
in
the
first
seven
weeks
and
one
or
two
classes
in
the
second
seven
weeks
and
before
I
know
it
I
have
four
classes
under
my
bill.
AH
Okay,
but
if
I'm
thinking
about
a
student
who
may
be
transitioning
from
high
school
and
has
to
take
a
Calculus
class
in
seven
weeks,
so
I
have
two
I
have
three
sons,
but
two
of
them
are
at
NC
State,
both
stem
Majors
one
is
a
computer
and
electrical
engineering.
Major
and
one
is
an
environmental
science
major
in
my
computer,
electrical
engineering,
major
son
whizzles
through
math,
not
a
problem-
I
mean
it's
just
he
just
inherently
just
kind
of
whizzes
through
it.
AH
My
middle
son
is
a
strong
student,
but
it's
not
a
whiz
for
him
and
to
think
that
he
took
a
seven
would
have
to
take
a
seven
week.
Cow
class
I
know
he
wouldn't
have
made
it.
He
just
wouldn't
have
made
it.
That
does
not
mean
he
didn't
have
the
cognitive
ability
to
do
it.
It
simply
means
that
he's
not
like
his
brother
who
could
have
whized
to
a
seven-week
calc
class.
Okay.
AH
So
in
conversations
with
our
Provost
and
with
our
community
partners
with
our
faculty,
I
made
a
very
quick
and
early
decision
that
we
were
going
to
balance
the
schedule
that
we
were
going
to
have
as
many
15-week
options
as
we
have
seven
week
options.
So
students
can
customize
the
schedule
based
on
what
their
personal
needs
and
preferences
and
learning
styles
are.
AH
R
I
think
that's
I
think
that's
a
great
thing
because
I
know
so
many
working
people
that
are
a
little
tentative
to
go
back
because
of
the
long
commitment.
But
if
you
say
to
somebody,
hey
you're,
a
handful
of
credit
short
banging
out
in
a
seven
week
period,
you
know
to
finish
your
degree
or
what
have
you
that's
a
nice
program
to
offer.
F
AH
You
for
that,
thank
you
for
that
and
you've.
Given
me
a
really
great
transition,
commissioner
heart
to
something
else
that
I
wanted
to
share.
I
also
have
the
opportunity
to
attend
our
community
college
trustee
National
legislative
Summit.
That
always
happens
in
Washington
D.C
Summit
you're
learning
about
the
legislative
priorities
that
community
colleges
have
that
impact
the
federal
level
okay.
So
we
have
Pell
Grants
and
many
of
you
may
be
familiar
with
Pell
Grants
right.
You
do
the
FAFSA
form
the
financial
aid
form
you
determine
what
they
call
the
EFC
your
estimated
family
contribution.
AH
That,
basically,
is
what
the
family
can
afford
to
pay,
and
then
the
federal
government
basically
fills
in
the
Gap
right
through
pale,
non-restricted
funds
or
through
loans.
Our
Pell
grant
funding
is
an
excellent
resource
for
students,
but
it
only
takes
care
of
students
that
they're
in
curriculum
or
degree
programs.
AH
So
the
commissioner
Hart's
point:
if
I
have
an
adult
student
who's
working
in
an
industry,
let's
say
computer
science
and
I
need
to
upskill,
I
need
to
add
an
industry
certification.
So
maybe
I
got
my
bachelor's
degree
20
years
ago,
and
it's
no
longer
as
relevant
as
it
is
now
and
I
need
to
go
back
and
get
a
python
certification.
I
need
to
go
back
and
do
some
Cisco
training
I
need
to
get
some
type
of
Google
I.T
support,
certification,
I
wouldn't
go
back
and
get
another
degree.
AH
We
also
have
students
who
come
in
and
say:
I
don't
want
to
be
in
school
for
two
or
three
years,
especially
if
I
have
a
part-time
pathway,
part-time.
We
have
about
60
something
percent
part-time
students,
if
I'm
taking
two
classes
at
a
time.
It
can
take
me
three
plus
years
to
finish.
We
have
some
students,
so
that
is
prohibitive
for
them
they
have
to
take
care
of
their
families
and
themselves.
AH
So
they
want
a
quick,
short-term
credential
like
a
Workforce
credential
that
will
instantly
allow
them
to
make
a
more
substantive
living
wage
okay,
so
it
might
be
a
six
week.
Certification
might
be
a
CDL
license.
Now
we
have
many
opportunities
in
Supply
Chain
management,
where
you
can
earn
up
to
80
or
90
000
a
year.
It
might
be
a
CNA
certification,
basic
law
enforcement.
You
get
the
gist
right
now
as
it
stands,
our
pail
does
not
help
pay
for
Workforce
credentials
because
those
are
considered
non-degree
programs
or
certifications.
AH
We
now
have
legislative
focus
on
what
we're
calling
the
workforce
pail
agenda,
we're
hoping
that
we
will
have
support
around
community
colleges
are
certainly
rallying
where
we
can
get
pale
funding
for
students
seeking
Workforce
credentials.
We
know
if
that
comes
through
that's
going
to
be
a
game
changer
for
our
communities,
there's
also
a
bill
out
there,
that's
being
explored,
that's
called
the
farm
bill,
it's
looking
at
how
we
build
the
rural
economy,
and
how
do
we
continue
to
support
agricultural
programs,
the
institution
where
I
worked?
AH
Previously
we
had
an
AG
business
and
an
AG
technology
program
that
focused
on
the
sustainability
of
using
technology
in
farming
and
how
farming
is
Shifting
and
changing.
So
there's
a
lot
of
possibilities
there,
but
I
wanted
to
share
some
of
the
national
legislative
Focus
areas
and
more
so
that
my
intent
is
to
focus
on
learning
and
listening
to
all
of
you
about
what
your
priorities
are.
Commissioner,.
R
I
tell
you
so
so
the
biggest
thing
that
I
hear,
there's
there's
no
drivers
and
companies
do
not
want
to
take
the
investment
and
the
time
to
pay
for
you
to
get
your
CDL
put
you
with
somebody
to
go
through
all
the
stuff.
Just
for
you
to
take
your
services
to
somebody
else.
So
there's
so
many
people
that
are
helpers
on
on
trucks
and
stuff
like
that.
R
But
there's
it's
it's
a
good
paying
job.
There's
I
mean
I,
know
a
lot
of
places
they
can.
If
somebody
had
their
CDL,
they
could
walk
right
up,
walk
in
the
door,
80
85k
with
benefits
just
like
that
and
not
be
in
debt.
You
know
this
biggest
thing
that
we've
got
to
have
a
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
of
college
debt
to
go
get
a
job.
Making
60
is
ridiculous,
yes,
and-
and
that's
the
biggest
thing
I
hear,
there's
a
distributing
company
right
now
that
all
I
have
heard
for
three
years.
R
We
don't
have
drivers,
we
don't
have
drivers,
they're,
Outsourcing
stuff
in
Vans,
and
everything
else
I
mean
that
need
right.
There
alone,
I
I,
couldn't
even
begin
to
estimate.
I'm
anybody's
got
a
CDL
and
they're
not
working
because
they
don't
want
to
work
I'm
telling
you
because
they're
they
they
can
walk
right
in
Monday
and
and
get
keys
in
their
hand
and
go
work.
R
AH
Is
exactly
right,
Karen
shared
with
me
an
article
that
she
had
read
some
weeks
ago
that
young
folk
aren't
even
getting
driver's
license
the
way
they
used
to,
because
you
have
so
many
folks
doing,
Ubers
and
lifts
right.
So
you
see
that
that
may
even
impact
the
funnel
moving
forward
of
how
many
eligible
folk
even
have
a
driver's
license
to
support
infrastructure.
AH
AH
High
School
kid
you
not
that's
exactly
right!
That
is
exactly
right,
so
the
listening
is
important.
AH
So
what
we're
going
to
do
in
this
video
in
just
a
moment
is
take
a
look
back
at
some
of
the
great
work.
That's
happened
at
the
College
of
Southern
Maryland,
the
Legacy
that's
been
created
by
this
amazing
team.
That
I
had
the
pleasure
and
Fortune
of
working
with
and
some
of
the
great
work
they've
done,
and
then
we're
going
to
look
forward
to
how
do
we
prepare
our
students
and
our
communities
for
the
future
of
work?
AH
What
does
that
look
like
one
of
the
things
that
came
up
was
artificial
intelligence
and
how
do
we
prepare
for
the
metaverse
and
how
do
we
prepare
for
all
the
I.T
changes
and
infrastructure
there's
so
much
happening?
That's
going
to
be
moved
to
technical
advances.
What
does
that
look
like,
and
how
does
that
impact
our
day-to-day
work?
How
do
we
continue
to
shore
up
our
skilled
trades?
Okay,
we
cannot
do
without
plumbers
and
electricians
and
HVAC
workers
Etc.
We
need
scaled
trades.
AH
We
need
skill,
trades
I
go
to
a
activity
every
year,
National
Conference
about
skillsusa,
where
we
celebrate
the
skill
trades
and
how
they
have
built
the
middle
class
of
of
our
economy.
How
do
we
continue
to
support
that
and
let
students
know
that
it
may
not
be
the
same
job
that
your
great-grandparents
did
right,
because
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
students
who
are
embracing
skilled
trades.
That's
because
there's
a
perception
about
what
it
looks
like
it
has
shifted
also
because
of
Technology.
AH
Certainly
can
be
worth
having
a
conversation.
I
would
absolutely
love
it.
I
know,
Karen
is
taking
notes
for
me
behind
me,
so
I
will
share
with
you
the
conversations
that
I've
had
with
some
of
our
superintendent
colleagues
and
St
Mary's
and
in
Charles
and
beginning
to
have
with
Dr
towns
those
looking
at
our
facilities,
for
example.
So
we
have
a
phenomenal
and
Regional
fuse
fail,
ctec
Center,
which
is
our
Career
Technical
Center.
As
many
of
you
now
well
in
conversations
Dr
Navarro,
for
example,
she
mentioned
that
they're
overflowing.
AH
You
know
they
have
maximum
capacity
in
some
of
their
high
schools,
but
students
who
are
interested
in
talking
and
exploring
about
the
possibility
of
bussing
students
over
to
our
ctec
facility.
So
we've
arranged
a
tour
for
them:
Dr
Smith
who's
in
St,
Mary's
County
said
they
can't
keep
HVAC
instructors;
okay,
they
just
they're
being
lured
by
industry.
The
cost
right.
We
just
I
just
heard
the
presentation
about
teacher
pay,
but
we
have
HVAC
faculty.
So
is
there
an
opportunity
for
them
to
bus
and
come
to
our
facilities?
AH
And
that's
when,
where
the
Synergy
and
the
magic
begins
to
happen,
where
you
have
Collective
impact,
you
have
shared
Partnerships
with
shared
goals
and
shared
outcomes,
and
hopefully
shared
resources,
whether
that's
fiscal
and
human,
and
then
shared
successes
and
that's
a
really
important
model.
When
you
have
all
the
key
stakeholders
coming
together
and
saying,
as
you
mentioned
so
beautifully,
commissioner
Ireland,
we
have
an
issue
at
CTA.
How
can
we
work
with
CSM
to
resolve
it?
We
absolutely
can
do
that.
AH
AI
1922
marked
a
two-year
anniversary
of
covet
19.
and,
although
covet
is
still
very
much
with
us,
the
emergency
has
passed.
All
of
us
have
been
profoundly
and
permanently
Changed
by
this
pandemic.
Much
has
happened
to
us.
We
have
learned
we
have
adapted,
but
we
must
accept
that
things
will
never
go
back
to
the
way.
They
were
it's
time
to
figure
out
our
new
Norm.
AI
As
a
result
of
the
pandemic,
two
significant
changes
in
higher
education
have
occurred,
shifts
in
the
labor
force,
sometimes
called
the
Great
resignation
and
changes
in
higher
education.
The
great
Interruption,
a
recent
report
by
the
strata
education
Network,
explored
the
relationship
between
people
who
left
and
changed
jobs
since
the
onset
of
the
pandemic
and
higher
education.
People
who
left
their
jobs
voluntarily
were
more
likely
to
pursue
higher
education,
but
there
was
an
uncertainty
about
the
value
of
higher
education,
which
was
Stronger
among
people
who
had
lost
their
jobs.
AI
F
Csn
recognizes
that,
while
many
things
affect
students
ability
to
complete
their
programs
in
a
timely
manner,
we
must
reduce
all
barriers
within
our
control
to
ensure
the
best
student
outcomes
possible.
People
with
college
credentials
have
higher
earning
potential,
lower
unemployment
and
poverty
rates.
Higher
rates
of
job
satisfaction
are
more
likely
to
be
healthy
and
have
more
opportunities
for
social
Mobility.
A
good
example
is
our
achieving
a
dream.
Engagement.
Achieving
a
dream
is
a
network
of
community
colleges
from
across
the
country
committed
to
the
work
of
student
equity
and
success.
F
We
shared
a
common
Vision
in
terms
of
supporting
students
and
meeting
them
where
they
were
or
where
they
are.
We
convened
a
core
team
and
three
work
groups.
We
develop
a
strategy
of
three
metrics
one
of
those
looked
at
completion
of
students
in
our
Gateway
courses.
We
put
in
place
some
measures
in
terms
of
advising
faculty
engagement
and,
as
a
result
of
those
we've
seen
a
closing
caps
by
about
six
percent
between
our
African-American
students
and
our
white
students.
F
As
we
looked
over
time,
many
of
our
students
they
stopped
in
and
they
stopped
out
and
we
had
a
challenging
time
supporting
those
students.
So
we
put
in
place
measures
to
support
students,
we've
seen
a
seven
percent
increase
in
the
number
of
students
who
have
completed
their
certificate
in
a
four-year
period
and
we've
seen
the
achievement
gap
of
African-American
and
white
students
closed
by
about
four
percent.
Students
continue
to
rate
a
lack
of
financial
aid
as
the
number
one
reason
for
not
attending
college.
So
we
put
in
place
measures
to
really
increase
financial
literacy.
AF
A
five
percent
increase
in
number
of
students
who
have
completed
the
FAFSA
application
when
I
was
in
high
school
in
2019.
My
father
and
my
two
sisters
moved
here
in
America
with
me.
It
was
a
hard
time
for
me
to
adjust,
especially
it
was
high
school
and
I
was
like
already
on
my
11th
grade,
basically
I'm,
just
the
first
generation
of
the
family
to
go
to
college
I
received
a
letter
from
the
achieving
the
dream
team
that
I
got
a
scholarship
I
felt
so
great.
AF
My
blood
is
rushing
through
my
body
and
it
was
really
amazing.
They
gave
me
a
technology
laptop
tuition
for
my
books
and
everything
that
I
needed
for
my
first
semester
and
I
wasn't
so
lucky
that
the
CSM
offered
me
a
great
thing
to
help
me
to
develop.
My
career
I
still
have
my
mom
and
my
brother
in
the
Philippines
and
I
hope
they
could
come
in
America
when
we're.
T
T
I
was
diagnosed
with
stage
three
breast
cancer
after
those
treatments
and
those
complications
I
wanted
to
pursue
my
education
I
wanted
to
become
a
nurse
Navigator
to
help
women
that
were
like
me,
CSM
has
welcomed
me
with
open
arms,
CSM
understood
that
I
was
broken,
but
I
also
was
a
fighter
with
a
dream.
It
helped
me
through
so
many
things
from
tutoring
to
counseling.
T
Once
the
pandemic
hit
I
saw
that
there
was
another
issue
that
I
had
that
I
may
not
be
able
to
continue
with
my
education,
see
you
soon
then
work
together
with
the
Charles
County,
Commissioners,
Commissioners
carers,
scholarship
and
I
was
granted
that
in
forever
thankful
together,
they
both
have
helped
me
be
able
to
concentrate
more
on
my
studies.
They've
helped
me
just
understand
that
CSM
will
not
only
work
with
me
but
work
for
me
and
again
I'm.
Just
a
forever
grateful
and
it
was
a
blessing.

Economic,

N
One
of
the
things
we
talk
largely
about
in
the
southern
Maryland
region
is
the
need
to
grow
our
own
concept,
that
all
learning
is
important
and
that
all
learning
deserves
an
opportunity
as
the
individual
goals
and
pursues
as
education
and
obtains
that
degree
of
credential.
Employers
need
to
be
right
there
on
the
other
end,
saying
I'm
here
to
provide
an
opportunity
for
you.
That's
we
sit
down
across
the
table
with
employers
asking
about
what
their
needs
are
and
that
information
informs
the
types
of
programming
that
we
offer.
It
also
shapes
the
curriculum.
N
The
programs
at
CSM
are
in
direct
response
to
the
needs
of
the
employers
around
our
region
and
those
that
work
actively
with
us
have
nothing
but
Rave
things
to
say
about
the
quality
of
our
students.
Everywhere
you
go
in
southern
Maryland,
there's
a
sign
that
says
we're
hiring
and
that's
why
work
based
learning
is
so
important.
I.
K
Was
doing
scheduling,
payroll
recruitment,
everything
that
looked
like
it
was
a
career
in
Human
Resources
I
decided
just
to
apply
for
College
of
Southern
Maryland
to
see
where
it
was
going
to
take
me.
I
got
an
email
from
achieving
the
Dream
Team,
where
they
asked
me
if
I
was
interested
in
doing
the
private
ways
program
with
them,
I
told
them
that
yes,
I
was
very,
very
much
interested.
It
gave
me
all
the
tools
that
I
was
going
to
need
for
college,
so
I
didn't
even
have
to
worry
about
buying
a
laptop.
K
K
Semesters,
it
really
was
like
I
like
it
was
just
like
a
relief
after
that
I
ended
up
getting
an
email
from
work
based.
Learning
I
was
going
to
be
able
to
work
in
the
field
that
I
want
to
already
go
in
and
actually
earn
money
for
it.
So
I
work
Monday
through
Friday.
They
make
me
feel
really
really
just
a
part
of
the
team.
I
feel
really
really
confident.
I'm
going
to
graduate
next
year,
I'm
going
to
transfer
over

I'm,
very,
very
thankful
for

good
afternoon.

I
want
to
thank
you
for
recognizing
developmental
disabilities
awareness
month
from
the
day
the
school
bus
stop
coming
and
students
with
developmental
disabilities
graduate
become
community
members
with
developmental
disabilities.
It
becomes
the
role
for
every
department
of
public
government
to
support
them
from
programming
at
parks
and
rec
Economic
Development
to
connect
them
with
local
employers.
AK
The
health
department
to
link
them
with
mental
and
physical
care
to
the
Department
of
Aging
recognize
today
that
it's
asked
for
those
that
are
50
plus
and
older,
who
might
not
have
as
many
as
any
at
all
family
support
left.
The
more
positive
supports
the
community
invests
in
saves
us
untold
amounts
in
crisis
care
and
calls
for
law
enforcement
as
a
last
resort.
In
fact,
since
you
mentioned
the
durable
medical
equipment
recycling
plan
last
month,
I've
had
multiple
families
reach
out
asking
for
more
information.
So
thank
you.
AK
Thank
you
for
recognizing
programs
like
Meals
on
Wheels
and
the
services
provided
by
your
March
employee
of
the
month
with
a
local
transportation
department
that
made
such
a
difference
in
the
lives
of
our
section
of
the
population
from
the
bookmobile
available
through
parrot
Library,
as
well
as
the
Hollywood
made
in

in-person
resources.
They
have.
They
create
the
strong
Network
to
keep
our
young
adults
with

disabilities
connected
with

Finally,
thank
you
for
taking
the
time
and
dedication
today
to
sit
down
with
Dr
Chancellor
the
school
system.
The
questions
you
asked
and
the
context
you
were
able
to
provide
the
public
priority
of
the
budget
can
only
help
with
transparency.
I
look
forward
to
hearing
more
from
Dr
Anderson
about
her
staff
and
plan
for
the
Department
of
special
education,
focusing
on
the
individual
need
for
each
child
should
not
be
budget
dependent,
but
I
recognize
that
money
makes
the
world
go
round.
AK
One
program
that
msae
just
announced
is
called
Rose
the
reducing
over
identification
and
special
education,
which
will
mitigate
misidentifying,
coveted
learning
laws
for
students
as
an
intellectual
or
emotional
disability
and,
as
the
world
result,
cause
more
students
to
be
enrolled
in
special
education,
who
don't
necessarily
need
to
be
there
and
can
be
reached
through
interventions
through
the
general
education
process.
As
always,
Calvin

forward
to

you

director

I,
like
his

always
dance
to
your
