[A. Board Member Comments]

THAT WILL NEGATIVELY IMPACT SOME MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY. I DO BELIEVE THAT BALANCING ENROLLMENT IS IMPORTANT. AND I HOPE THAT THE FINAL NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO ARE NEGATIVELY IMPACTED WILL BE VERY SMALL. SECOND TOPIC. PANDEMIC RESTRICTIONS. HERE AGAIN. I HAVE A LOST SYMPATHY BECAUSE I RECOGNIZE THAT THE STATE, THE COUNTY AND HCPS HAVE IMPOSED SERIOUS HARDSHIPS ON MANY PEOPLE. I BELIEVE BOTH THAT THE SHUTDOWNS WERE SERIOUSLY DETRIMENTAL TO MANY PEOPLE, AND THAT THEY WERE STILL THE CORRECT THING TO DO. HERE, THOUGH, I HAVE BEEN CONCERNED OVER A YEAR ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF MISINFORMATION WE GET SET. FOR EXAMPLE, JUST SINCE LAST PORT MEETING I'VE RECEIVED EMAILS CLAIMING THAT KIDS AREN'T LIKE COVID THAT KIDS CAN'T SPREAD COVID AND THAT MASKS DON'T DO ANYTHING TO PREVENT THE SPREAD OF COVID. NONE OF THESE ARE TRUE. I'VE RECEIVED MANY AGAIN EMAILS THAT IMPLIED THAT THE

[00:05:09]

WE ARE FOLLOWING THE SCIENCE ON THIS. MOVING ON TO THE THIRD TOPIC. CRITICAL RACE HISTORY.

SO AS FAR AS I CAN RECALL, I'D NEVER HEARD THE TERM CRITICAL RACE THEORY BEFORE THIS SPRING.

AS WE RECEIVED CONTINUING COMMENTS. I RESEARCHED IT SEVERAL TIMES. I FOUND DID NOT MATCH THE PUBLIC COMMENTS. WE ARE GETTING. ABBREVIATING FROM WIKIPEDIA. CRITICAL RACE THEORY IS QUOTE A BODY OF LEGAL SCHOLARSHIP END QUOTE THAT EXAMINES BOAT US LAW AS IT INTERSECTS WITH ISSUES OF RACE, END QUOTE. AS NUMEROUS RECENT WRITERS ON THIS TOPIC HAVE NOTED, COULDN'T GO RACE THEORY AS A UNIVERSITY LEVEL TOPIC, NOT A KID AT 12 TOPIC. SOME COMMENTATORS HAVE CONFOUNDED CRITICAL RACE THEORY WITH A DIFFERENT CRT, CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE TEACHING, ALSO CALLED CULTURALLY RELEVANT TEACHING. WIKIPEDIA SAYS, CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE TEACHING IS QUOTE PEDAGOGY GROUNDED IN TEACHERS DISPLAYING CULTURAL COMPETENCE, SKILL AT TEACHING AND THEY CROSS CULTURAL OR MULTICULTURAL CITY. TEACHERS USING THIS METHOD. ENCOURAGE EACH STUDENT TO RELATE COURSE CONTENT TO HIS OR OR CULTURAL CONTEXT AND QUOTE. SO THIS IS AN APPROACH TO TEACHING AND LEARNING. IT WORKS TO RELATE COURSE CONTENT TO DIFFERENT CULTURAL CONTEXTS. THESE TWO. YOUR TEA'S ARE VERY DIFFERENT THING. NEITHER MARYLAND'S NOR HCPSS CURRICULUM INCLUDES CRITICAL RACE THEORY. I'M AWARE THAT THERE ARE MEDIA OUTLETS HAVE BEEN WORKING TO MAKE THIS THEIR NEXT BOOGEYMAN TO DIRECT OUTRAGE AT. MY SYMPATHY IS VERY LIMITED HERE BECAUSE TEACHING CRITICAL RACE THEORY IS NOT SOMETHING WE'RE DOING. THIS IS MANUFACTURED DRAMA AT THE TIME WHEN WE HAVE PLENTY OF REAL TRAUMA. THANK YOU ALL. THANK YOU, MRS KARWACKI. YES, I'M HERE. THANK YOU, UM. ON ONE SECOND WITH HER WACKY. MHM. YEAH. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. MY SON'S BIRTH CERTIFICATE. I'M

[00:10:06]

[00:15:01]

WHERE IN THE ORANGE AND EXPERIENCING A RESURGENCE OF HOSPITALIZATIONS. DON'T PARTICULARLY LIKE WEARING THE MASK AND I'M VACCINATED. BUT IF I'M GOING TO A LOCATION THAT IS FULL OF PEOPLE OUTSIDE OF MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS CIRCLE WEAR THE MASK. WANT CHILDREN TO BE AS SAFE AS POSSIBLE WITHOUT ENCASING THEM IN A PLASTIC BUBBLE. AS THE NUMBERS DECLINE.

WE CAN ANTICIPATE ADJUSTMENTS TO THE MASKING PROTOCOL. I KNOW MANY MANY OF YOU ARE NOT HAPPY WITH THIS. MY CONSCIENCE FORCES ME TO LISTEN TO THE SCIENCE AND THE DATA. OUR SECOND CHALLENGE WAS MORE ANTICIPATED, AS THE PROCESS WOULD NORMALLY HAVE STARTED A FEW YEARS AGO.

BALANCING ENROLLMENT, ALSO KNOWN AS REDISTRICTING. WAS THE ICING ON THE CAKE. WHEN A BUILDING IS OVER CAPACITY, IT IMPACTS NOT ONLY CLASS SIZE, BUT ACCESSIBILITY, THE SERVICES AND RESOURCES. PORTABLE MODULES ARE NOT A SOLUTION BECAUSE THE BUILDING STILL HAS A LIMITED NUMBER OF RESTROOMS, A SINGLE CAFETERIA, ONE LIBRARY AND CLASSROOMS THAT CONTAINS SPECIALIZED RESOURCES FOR THE COURSES TAUGHT WITHIN. SAYING BUILD ANOTHER SCHOOL ALSO DOESN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM. BECAUSE WE'RE REQUIRED TO DEMONSTRATE IN GOOD FAITH TO VARIOUS GOVERNMENT ENTITIES THAT WE HAVE IMPLEMENTED IMMEDIATE SOLUTIONS FIRST. WE AND. THIS IS THE GLOBAL WE I MEAN THE BOARD THE SUPERINTENDENT IN HIS STAFF.

COMMITTEE THAT ALSO INCLUDES SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS, TEACHERS. AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY ARE ALL WORKING. TO MINIMIZE IMPACT ON STUDENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES. THERE IS STILL MUCH WORK TO BE DONE BEFORE A PROPOSAL IS APPROVED BY THE BOARD. AND JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT IT WAS SAFE TO GO IN THE WATER. THE MEDIA WENT OFF THE BOARD WITH CRT CRITICAL RACE THEORY. IN OUR STATE. MARYLAND STATE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION MUST APPROVE ANY COURSE THAT IS OFFERED TO OUR STUDENTS. IF YOU GO TO THEIR WEBSITE, YOU WILL KNOW THAT IT IS NOT TAUGHT IN CAPE, THE 12 SCHOOLS. WE DO USE A STRATEGY KNOWN AS CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE TEACHING. I'M NOT GOING TO REPEAT WHAT DR BAUER SHARED. OUR STUDENTS AND TEACHERS ARE NOT BEING INSTRUCTED IN CRITICAL RACE THEORY. THIS HAS BEEN OUR PERFECT STORM. IN ORDER FOR US ALL TO SURVIVE THIS I ASK FOR CIVILITY. THOUGHTFULNESS AND COLLABORATION. PLEASE KNOW THAT WE ARE HERE BECAUSE THE CHILDREN ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT TO US AS WELL AS TO EACH OF YOU. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU, DR PHILIP. UH THANK YOU, UM, AND GOOD EVENING TO EVERYBODY. WELL AS TOUGH AS THIS EVENING HAS STARTED. I STILL HOPE THAT EVERYONE IS HAVING AN ENJOYABLE AND HEALTHY SUMMER. AND WE'RE ALL LOOKING FORWARD TO IN PERSON SCHOOL. AND A FULL FALL SPORTS SCHEDULE. COUPLE OF ISSUES. I

[00:20:02]

THOSE COMMUNITIES STILL IN LIMBO, SO TO SPEAK. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT WE ARE NOT NEAR THE END OF THIS PROCESS YET. WE WILL ALL HAVE AMPLE TIME TO REVIEW OUR CONCERNS WITH THE SUPERINTENDENT BEFORE THE FINAL RECOMMENDATION TO THE BOARD IS MADE. NOW TO THE TOPIC OF MANDATORY MASKS IN SCHOOL. I'M NOT GOING TO GET MUCH INTO THE SCIENCE SINCE DR BHATIA HAS A PRESENTATION LATER THIS EVENING OR BABY THIS MORNING, DEPENDING ON HOW MANY SPEAKERS WE HAVE, AND AFTER THE ROUGH START, WE HAD. I HAVE ON MY DESK RIGHT NOW. A NUMBER OF ARTICLES AND SUMMARIES OF HUNDREDS OF STUDIES FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY AND AROUND THE WORLD, FOR THAT MATTER, ONE OF THE BETTER ONES I FOUND IS IN NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ENTITLED THE EFFECTIVENESS OF FACE MASKS TO PREVENT SARS COV TWO TRANSMISSION. SUMMARY OF THE PEER REVIEW SCIENCE. WITHOUT GETTING INTO DETAILS OF ALL THE STUDIES SUMMARIZED DATA OVERWHELMINGLY SUPPORTS MASK WEARING. ALONG WITH AS WE WELL KNOW, HAND HIGH JEANS AND SOCIAL DISTANCING TO REDUCE THE RISK OF COVID SPREAD IN THE COMMUNITY. WE HAVE TO REALIZE NOW THAT THE DELTA VARIANT IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT ANIMAL THAN WHAT WE WERE FACED WITH LAST YEAR AT THIS TIME, SO WHEN MASKING WAS RELAXED IN THE LATE SPRING. OPTIMISM THAT WE WERE OVER THIS MESS WAS RAMPANT. BUT THEN DELTA HIT AND ITS BEHAVIOR INFECTIVITY EASE OF TRANSMISSION WAS FAR MORE AGGRESSIVE THAN THE ORIGINAL ORGANISM. WHEN THE GOVERNOR AND THE CDC AND THE PRESIDENT AND THE MASK WILL NO LONGER NECESSARY FOR THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN VACCINATED. STATEMENTS WERE BASED ON THE ORIGINAL VIRUSES BEING PREDOMINANT IN OUR COMMUNITY IN OUR COUNTRY. NOW DELTA IS THE PRIMARY VARIANT THAT WE ARE SEEING. AND OVER 90% OF CASES IN THIS COUNTRY AND THE RULES HAVE CHANGED. PAEDIATRIC WARDS ARE NOW FILLING UP. PEDIATRIC ICUS ARE FILLING UP. AND, YES, CHILDREN ARE DYING. IT IS NO LONGER AN ASYMPTOMATIC DISEASE IN THIS VULNERABLE POPULATION.

WITHOUT A DOUBT, MASKS HELP TO REDUCE THE SPREAD IN BOTH ADULTS AND CHILDREN. BEING IN A CLASSROOM FOR SIX OR SEVEN HOURS CLEARLY INCREASES THE POTENTIAL RISK TO EVERYBODY IN THAT CLASSROOM. RISK WHICH CAN BE REDUCED BY WEARING MASKS. REVIEWED SOME OF THE ARTICLES THAT LOOKS AT THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COIN. I'M ASKED, DON'T HELP AND COULD BE DETRIMENTAL.

EXCUSE ME. THE OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE BASED ON SCIENCE. EXCUSE ME. DOES NOT SUPPORT THIS. WILL HELP GET US THROUGH THIS PREDICAMENT QUICKER AND LIMIT THE RISK OF NEW AND PERHAPS EVEN MORE TRANSMISSIBLE VARIANCE. VACCINES UNQUESTIONABLY. DID NOT LOOK UP THE JULY DATA, BUT IN THE STATE OF MARYLAND FOR THE MONTH OF JUNE, THE VACCINATION RATE WAS SOMEWHERE AROUND 50 50. 95% OF THOSE WHO TESTED POSITIVE FOR COVID. THE MONTH OF JUNE WERE NOT VACCINATED. 93% OF THOSE HOSPITALIZED WERE NOT VACCINATED. AND 100% OF DEATHS IN THE MONTH OF JUNE IN THE STATE OF MARYLAND, WERE NON VACCINATED INDIVIDUALS. THIS IS NOT A STATISTICAL ANOMALY. THIS IS FACT. IN THE UK AND INDIA, WHERE THE DELTA VARIANT FIRST BEGAN, IT SEEMED TO RUN A FAIRLY RAPID COURSE. NOW IS ON A SIGNIFICANT DOWNWARD SLOPE.

MY HOPE IS THAT IT WILL RUN A SIMILAR COURSE HERE IF WE CAN GET MORE OF OUR ELIGIBLE COMMUNITY VACCINATED, WE CAN LESSEN THE RISK OF ANOTHER MORE MORE INFECTIOUS VARIANT, HOPPING ON BOARD, AND I PERSONALLY HOPE TO SEE SMILING FACES ON STUDENTS. TEACHERS AND STAFF, HOPEFULLY BY MID TO LATE AUTUMN. WE'RE STARTING THE YEAR WITH MANDATORY MASKS. I SURE HOPE WE DON'T FINISH IT THAT WAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR CARTY. THANK YOU, PRESIDENT. GO TO YOU. UM. GOING TO PREFACE MY COMMENTS TONIGHT TO SAY HOW DISAPPOINTED I AM THAT WE DID NOT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR THE PUBLIC THAT WAS HERE TONIGHT. TO SPEAK DUE TO THE DISRUPTION AND IT'S JUST. VERY, UH, DISAPPOINTING FOR THE PEOPLE THAT WERE HERE. MISSED THAT OPPORTUNITY. HARFORD COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION WANTS TO ENSURE A SAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR 37,000 AND STUDENTS IN HARVARD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS. A SAFE ENVIRONMENT. THE DECISION TO MANDATE MASK WAS NOT EASY. OVER THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS. WE HAVE WATCHED THE CODE NUMBERS LISTEN TO THE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE STATE C. D. C. MSD HARVARD COUNTY

[00:25:01]

KEEP STUDENTS IN SCHOOL WHENEVER POSSIBLE. THERE'S A DEBATE ON THE VIABILITY OF MASS WITH COVID. ALL THE ORGANIZATIONS THAT LEAD OUR STATE. THE GOVERNOR, CDC MSD HARVARD COUNTY HEALTH, OUR COUNTY EXISTS, EXECUTIVE ARE ALL RECOMMENDING MASK AS A MITIGATION STRATEGY. I'M EXTREMELY EMPATHETIC. SO SINCERELY. I REALLY FEEL TERRIBLY FOR THE IMPACT THIS IS GOING TO HAVE ON STUDENTS. AND I APPRECIATE THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF EVERYONE THAT CAME HERE THIS EVENING. VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT WE COULDN'T MAINTAIN IT REALLY ORDER TO ALLOW YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK IN PERSON. AND LOOKING FORWARD TO THE PEOPLE THAT ARE ABLE TO COME IN NOW. INDIVIDUALLY TO HEAR THEIR COMMENTS. I THINK THAT AS A AS A COUNTRY WE HAVE TO REALLY REMEMBER HOW IMPORTANT IT IS THAT PEOPLE HAVE DIFFERENT OPINIONS AND RESPECT THOSE DIFFERENT OPINIONS AND I'VE BEEN TRULY AMAZED. WITH HOW MANY. HOW MANY OF THE COMMENTS WE'VE RECEIVED THAT WERE IN SUPPORT. WEARING MASS IN THE SCHOOL SYSTEM, AND IT'S UNFORTUNATE. THAT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO COME HERE THIS EVENING TO ALSO PLEAD THEIR CASE. UH HUH. PRESIDENT COTY. I REALLY APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE THESE COMMENTS THIS EVENING, AND I APPRECIATE YOUR LEADERSHIP THIS EVENING. AFTER HAROLD. THANK YOU, PRESIDENT. GO TO, UM, GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE. MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WHO MAY BE LISTENING AND COLLEAGUES. UM. HAVE A FEW BRIEF COMMENTS THIS EVENING. UM FIRST. WANT TO START BY THANKING, UM MM. PARENTS, STUDENTS. UM AND ALL OF OUR PEOPLE ON THE GROUND. IN THE FIELD AT. WITHIN THE SCHOOL SYSTEM OF HCPS FOR BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE THEIR WORK. THIS SUMMER BECAUSE SCHOOL HAS NOT STOPPED. WORK HAS NOT STOPPED.

THEIR EFFORT. UM. HAVE NOT STOPPED AND I FEEL LIKE WITH ALL OF THIS THAT'S GOING ON.

THE CONSTRUCTIONS AND SUCH UM THEIR WORK. DO NOT WANT TO GET LOST. AND THE NOISE. AND SO I WANT TO THANK THEM OR UM. THEIR ENGAGEMENT WAS THE SUCCESSFUL FACILITATION DURING SUMMER ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS. SUMMER SCHOOL. ALL OF THE PARENTS AND THE STUDENTS WHO. I WORKED WITH WITHIN THE SCHOOL SYSTEM WITH THE TEACHERS, THE ADMINISTRATION. UM TO ENSURE THAT CHILDREN HAD EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER. I HAVE HEARD FROM MANY PARENTS. AND SOME STUDENTS. GREAT GREAT THINGS ABOUT THEIR ENGAGEMENT IN SUMMER ENRICHMENT. OVER THE SUMMER SO FAR. AND SO I WANT TO SEND A HEARTFELT THANK YOU. UM LISTENING TO MY COLLEAGUES. UM UH HUH. THIS. IT WAS VERY EMOTIONAL FOR ME. PARTICULAR LISTENING TO DR PHILIP SHARE HIS EXPERTISE. BECAUSE NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS. BILLION YEARS.

[00:30:06]

FROM OUR NEIGHBORS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS. BECAUSE TRULY, THIS IS A LABEL OF LOVE ON BEHALF OF OUR CHILDREN. WANT THEM IN SCHOOL, AND WE WANT THEM FOR LIVE. UM. THANK YOU, MISS HOLCOMB. HEY, DR MUELLER. THANK YOU, PRESIDENT GAUTIER. MY ONLY COMMENTS TONIGHT, WHEREAS I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT WE WEREN'T ABLE TO A PUBLIC IN THE MEETING, AND I THINK WE WORKED OUT A PLAN TO BE ABLE TO HEAR SOME OF THEM. UM. I APPRECIATE EVERYBODY'S FASHION, ALTHOUGH I DON'T APPRECIATE THE CHEERING AND YELLING THAT WE HAD GOING ON IN THE BOARDROOM.

I AGREE WITH ALL THE COMMENTS THAT I'VE HEARD SO FIRST, UM ESPECIALLY WHAT JOYCE JUST SAID.

YOU KNOW, THIS IS A VOLUNTEER POSITION. WE'VE ALL BEEN INVOLVED WITH THIS BECAUSE. WE CARE ABOUT THE CHILDREN, AND WE WANT TO PROVIDE THEM WITH THE HIGHEST QUALITY EDUCATION POSSIBLE. IT'S NOT FUN DOING THIS JOB RIGHT NOW. WE'RE TRYING TO DO THE BEST WE CAN OFFER THE BEST WE CAN FOR THE STUDENTS. WHEN ONE FAMILY SAYS THAT THEY WANT A CHOICE AS TO WHETHER OR NOT WEARING THEY WANT TO WEAR A MASK THAT TAKES THE CHOICE AWAY FROM EVERYBODY ELSE BECAUSE PEOPLE AREN'T WEARING MASKS AS SOON AS THERE IS A PROBLEM. WE NEED TO QUARANTINE THE CLASS. WE WANT TO KEEP THE STUDENTS IN SCHOOL. WE FELT VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT WHAT WE WANT TO KEEP THE STUDENTS IN SCHOOL. SO WHILE I APPRECIATE. EVERYBODY'S PASSION ON THE SUBJECT FOREIGN AGAINST MASKS. I WILL TELL YOU THAT AFTER THE MASKING AN ANNOUNCEMENT CAME OUT LAST THURSDAY, THE MAJORITY OF THE COMMENTS WE'VE THAT WERE FROM PEOPLE THANKING US AND TELLING US THAT THEY WERE THE SILENT MAJORITY AND THAT THEY APPRECIATED WHAT WE WERE DOING. SO I HOPE EVERYBODY CAN UNDERSTAND THAT. AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY FOR TONIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. AND AS FOR ME, I AM ALSO VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT WE ARE NOT ABLE TO CONTINUE WITH THE MEETING IN PERSON. HOWEVER THIS IS A BUSINESS MEETING AT THE END OF THE DAY. AND WE WILL BE CONDUCTING IT AS SUCH. IF PEOPLE CANNOT SEEM TO ACT APPROPRIATELY AS THEY WOULD IN THEIR PLACES BUSINESS. THEN IT WILL NOT BE ALLOWED FOR THEM TO STAY HERE. THAT BEING SAID, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE SOME PUBLIC

[B. Public Comments]

AND MR DONOVAN. I'M READY WHEN YOU ARE. CORRECT FOLLOWED BY KRISTINA TROTTA.

[00:35:57]

UM IT'S VERY INTERESTING HOW HE TALKS ABOUT SO MANY ISSUES OF HOW MASKING OBSTRUCTING OUR CHILDREN'S BREATHING DURING A TIME FRAME WHERE THEY SHOULD BE LEARNING AND FULLY PRESENT IS REALLY DETRIMENTAL NOT ONLY TO THEIR HEALTH, BUT THEIR GROWTH. NORTH CAROLINA STUDY CONDUCTED BEFORE VACCINES WERE AVAILABLE, FOUND NOT A SINGLE CASE OF STUDENT TO TEACHER TRANSMISSION WHEN 90,000 STUDENTS WERE IN SCHOOL. UM MANY OF THE FACE CLOTH COVERINGS THAT PEOPLE WEAR ARE NOT VERY EFFECTIVE IN REDUCING ANY OF THE VIRUS MOVEMENT IN OR OUT.

EPIDEMIOLOGIST MICHAEL OSTERHOLM, WHO SERVED ON THE BIDEN TRANSITION TEAMS, COVID TASK FORCE, TOLD CNN LAST WEEK. I ASK YOU TO SINCERELY THINK ABOUT IF YOU WERE A FIVE YEAR

[00:40:03]

THANK YOU. WE HAVE MICHELLE CHRISMAN, FOLLOWED BY. FOLLOWED BY STELLA PETERS. THIS MUST BE SELLING. SO MY NAME IS LORRAINE CUT LIKE I'M A RETIRED LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER. WORKED FOR US TREASURY. I WORKED FOR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FOR 28 YEARS. I'M HERE AS A CITIZEN, I'D LIKE TO START WITH, UM QUOTE FROM GENESIS 27. AND THE LORD GOD INFORMED MAN OF DUST FROM THE GROUND AND FREEZE INTO HIS NOSTRILS. THE BREATH OF LIFE. THE MAN BECAME A LIVING BEING. WHEN WE EXPERIENCE TO SHUT DOWN A MARCH OF 20. KIND OF MADE IT. MY LIFE'S MISSION TO DO A LOT OF RESEARCH AND I STILL SPEND. SEVERAL HOURS EVERY DAY RESEARCHING MEDICAL DOCUMENTS RESEARCHING, UH, MESS THE EFFICACY AND LACK THERE ALL I FOUND 65 ARTICLES THAT SPEAK TO THE HARM CAUSED BY MASS. HAVE NOT FOUND ONE BIT OF INFORMATION. IT SHOWS THAT MASS ARE AFFECTED. I FOUND LOTS OF HARM CAUSED BY MASS PERSONALLY MYSELF, AND I HAD TO WEAR A MASK AT WORK. I HAD CHRONIC MIGRAINE HEADACHES. HAD FACIAL RASH. PROBLEMS WITH MY GUNS FROM BREATHING IN MY OWN, UM TODAY, BREATHING MY OWN BACTERIA. AND I BELIEVE THAT EVERY PERSON HAS A RIGHT TO CHOOSE TO WEAR A MASK OR TO NOT WEAR A MASK. THIS IS NOT COMMUNIST CHINA. THIS IS A MIRACLE. EVERYONE HAS THE RIGHT TO DO WHAT IS BEST FOR THEM, AND IT'S A CHILD'S CHOICE AND APPEARANCE CHOICE. NO ONE ELSE HAS THE RIGHT TO TELL YOU TO IMPEDE YOUR BREATH. BREATH IS LIFE. BREATH IS THE MOST PRECIOUS GIFT THAT WE HAVE.

WHEN A BABY IS BORN. THE FIRST THING THAT HAPPENS IS THE OPEN HER MOUTH AND YOU TAKE A BREATH. WITHOUT BREATH WITHOUT OXYGEN. WE WERE DEAD. YOU DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH OXYGEN. YOU CAN'T THINK. WELL, IT IMPEDES YOUR BRAIN FUNCTION. IT'S HARMFUL TO YOUR HEALTH. IT ALSO CAUSES YOUR ADRENALS. TO OVERACT. IT CAUSES DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY. CHILDREN SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE CHILDREN, AND THEY SHOULD GET TO LEARN. THANK YOU. YOU BY CHANCE. KRISTINA TROTTA.

YOU COULD GIVE YOUR NAME THAT BE HELPFUL. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT. YOU HAVE TWO MINUTES. I AM. MY NAME IS SPRINTER CLARK. KNOW THAT DAVID THAT WERE LIKE. ON HELPFUL.

FINE AND. BUSINESS FROM THE NATIONAL CENTER FOR HEALTH STATISTICS, AND. JANUARY 2020 THROUGH JULY OF 2021. IT WAS ONLY A TOTAL OF 335 DEATHS, CHILDREN AND THAT'S AN ENTIRE US AN UNKNOWN THAT EVERY KID IS PRECIOUS. BUT WE HAVE 74 MILLION KIDS IN THIS COUNTRY.

AND I KNOW THAT NUMBER HAS GONE UP SLIGHTLY. BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE TOTAL DEATH AMONGST CHILDREN IN THIS COUNTRY THROUGH THAT TIME PERIOD, IT WAS OVER 49,000. AND THEN IF YOU CAN HEAR THEM WITH STATISTICS WITH COVID 19, THAT'S 190.6. ONLY ABOUT THAT LITTLE NUMBER. 335 BASICALLY EQUALS ZERO. THE 74 MILLION CHILDREN. YOU'RE ASKING US.

MASK OUR KIDS FOR BASICALLY V WROTE DEATH AMONG HE WROTE A SEVEN THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE ASKING US TO DO, AND WE'RE NOT. WE'RE NOT THINKING THAT YOU'RE NOT TRYING TO PROTECT OUR CHILDREN WERE THINKING THAT YOU'RE NOT FOLLOWING SCIENCE IF IT'S REALLY. APPEARED TO MOST OF US THAT YOU'RE FOLLOWING THE TEACHERS, UNIONS AND. THEY HAVEN'T DECIDED TO COME IN THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF TO SCHOOL. THEY HAVE SAID NOW WE'RE GOING TO STAY HOME. THEY'RE ESSENTIAL WORKERS AND WHEN UM. THAT DOESN'T MAKE THEM NON ESSENTIAL THAT JUST MAKES THEM NOT. AND THAT'S WHAT OUR THAT'S WHAT OUR CHILDREN AND THAT'S WHAT OUR PARENTS HAVE SEEN THROUGHOUT THIS WHOLE PIN. THIS IS WRONG. ASKING HER CHILDREN.

[00:45:15]

EVENING, KRISTINA TROTTA. THE ATRIX AND NONSENSICAL MASS. YOU ARE MANDATING ON OUR STUDENTS IS NOTHING SHORT OF CHILD ABUSE OUR CHILDREN, CIVIL LIBERTIES AND RIGHT TO BREATHE. DO NOT END WHERE YOUR FEAR AND IGNORANCE BEGIN. MESS ARE NOT EFFECTIVE AND TO THE CONTRARY, DO MORE HARM THAN GOOD. ANYONE WITH COMMON SENSE AND HALF A BRAIN KNOWS THIS. IT IS APPARENT, MR PAULSON. THAT YOU AND THIS BOARD DO NOT REPRESENT AND ADVOCATE WHAT IS THE BEST.

UH WHAT? WHAT'S PERSONAL? YOU ARE NOT REPRESENTING THE BEST INTERESTS OF OUR CHILDREN.

THAT'S PERSONAL TO ME. WE TELL. SALARY HOW DARE YOU AND DROPPED ME TAKE MY TIME THAT IT IS APPARENT, MR BALLSTON. YOU AND THIS BOARD DO NOT REPRESENT AND ADVOCATE WHAT IS THE BEST INTEREST FOR OUR CHILDREN. AND WHOSE SALARY WE PAY, AND THIS BOARD HAVE WEIGHED WE'RE DONE NOW. YOUR DAD. YEAH. ARE YOU, BABY? OKAY? THEY GO BACK. MHM. OH, EVENING. I AM A CONCERNED PARENT AND GRANDPARENTS. I'VE BEEN SPEAKING UP FOR 18 MONTHS AND PLEADING WITH THE BOARD FOR OUR CHILDREN'S HEALTH, OUR MENTAL WELLBEING ON YOUR FREEDOMS. CONTRARY TO WHAT MR BAUER SAYS, OR TO ADD ANY OF YOU GUYS SAY WE DO OUR RESEARCH WERE INFORMED AND WERE EDUCATED. WE DO NOT LIKE BEING TALKED DOWN TO AND DEMEANED THAT WAS DISRESPECTFUL. IT'S MANDATORY MASKING OF OUR CHILDREN IS WRONG. SHOULD NOT

[00:50:02]

WE BELIEVE IN FREEDOM. WE BELIEVE IN LIBERTY. WE ARE ABLE TO MAKE OUR OWN CHOICES AND OUR OWN MEDICAL CHOICES, WHICH YOU HAVE NO AUTHORITY. HTTPS CANNOT MAKE MANDATORY MASKING AND WE MUST REMEMBER THAT THOSE WHO CHOOSE TO WEAR MASK SHOULD STILL BE ALLOWED TO DO SO. AND THOSE WHO DO NOT WANT TO SHOULD NOT HAVE TO THANK YOU. YEAH. IF YOU COULD PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. YOU HAVE TWO MINUTES. SURE MY NAME IS CHICAGO. HOLLINGSWORTH AND I'M A CANDIDATE FOR HOUSE OF DELEGATES IN DISTRICT 34. A UM, I'M GOING TO KEEP THIS BRIEF.

THERE'S A LOT OF PISSED OFF PARENTS OUTSIDE BECAUSE OF. IMPENDING MASK MANDATES THAT MAY COME AS A RESULT OF JUST IN MY OPINION, A LOT OF FEAR MONGERING. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THIS DECISION IS BASED IN SCIENCE. WE'VE BEEN GIVING CONFLICTING INFORMATION OF AL CORONAVIRUS SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE PANDEMIC. AND. IT IS, FRANKLY, JUST A SLAP IN THE FACE OF THOSE PARENTS OUT THERE WHO ARE TAXPAYING PEOPLE WHO ARE HARD WORKING PEOPLE. THAT ENTRUSTS THEIR CHILDREN IN THE SCHOOL SYSTEM. I'M A PRODUCT OF THE SCHOOL SYSTEM AND. IT IS, FRANKLY, A VIOLATION OF THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS AND THEIR RIGHTS AS HUMAN BEINGS TO BE ABLE TO HAVE CHOICES OVER THE BODILY AUTONOMY OF THEIR CHILDREN. AND, UM. THIS IS NOT GOING TO GET ANY BETTER IF THE BOARD DOESN'T COME OUT WITH A STATEMENT, A CONTINGENCY PLAN SOMETHING IF YOU THOUGHT WHAT WE JUST SAW ABOUT AN HOUR AGO WAS BAD. IT'S GOING TO GET A LOT WORSE AND I JUST DON'T THINK THAT. ANYBODY WHO ISN'T THOSE CHILDREN'S PARENTS SHOULD HAVE ANY KIND OF SAY OVER WHAT SHOULD BE DONE TO THEM OR PUT ON THEIR FACE OR WHAT HAVE YOU? I DON'T HAVE ANY KIDS. BUT. WHEN YOU MESS WITH PEOPLE'S KIDS, THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU GOT. AND, UM. SOMETHING JUST HAS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS OR THIS JUST GETS A WHOLE LOT WORSE. THANKS.

OTHER. IF YOU COULD STATE YOUR NAME, YOU'LL HAVE TWO MINUTES. MY NAME IS JEAN INC. NATO I'M A PARENT OF. TO REFER COUNTY STUDENTS. I AM ALSO A WELL RESPECTED NURSE PRACTITIONER IN THE STATE OF MARYLAND. AND I AM HERE ESSENTIALLY TO IMPLORE YOU.

TWO. GOOD JUDGMENT AND DISCERNMENT IN TERMS OF MASKS. I KNOW WE'VE BEEN HEARD. FOLLOW THE SCIENCE AND I HAVE FOLLOWED THE SCIENCE. THAT'S HOW I HAVE BEEN TRAINED. BUT. CDC GUIDELINES DO NOT FOLLOW THE SCIENCE. FAUCI HIMSELF HAS SAID THAT MASS DO NOT WORK AGAINST SMALL MICRON PARTICLES, WHICH THE CORONAVIRUS IT'S ONE MICRON. MASKS PREVENT. 82 500 MICRONS FROM GETTING THROUGH, SO IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE. SO I IMPLORE YOU TO REALLY INVESTIGATE. I KNOW YOU THINK YOU'RE COVERING YOURSELF POLITICALLY. BUT YOU ARE NOT BECAUSE THERE ARE CLASS ACTION SUITS ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND YOU WILL NOT BE IMMUNE TO THOSE AND THAT IS NOT A THREAT. WHAT I AM TELLING YOU IS THAT. IF YOU INSIST ON MASKING MY KID

[00:55:07]

SO PLEASE DO THE RIGHT THINGS. MHM. GET YOUR NAME AND YOU'LL HAVE TWO MINUTES. MICHELLE WILLOUGHBY. GOOD EVENING. I DON'T HAVE A FANCY SPEECH WRITTEN OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

BUT. I DO BELIEVE IT'S PARENTS' CHOICE. HOW WE TREAT OUR KIDS. MEDICALLY. AND. YOU KNOW, I DON'T BELIEVE THAT VACCINES SHOULD BE PUSHED. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THE MASKS SHOULD BE PUSHED. GOD CREATED US WITH AN AMAZING IMMUNE SYSTEM. AND IF YOU FOLLOW THE RESEARCH AND THE SCIENCE, THEN YOU WOULD KNOW THAT THESE MASKS BREAK DOWN THE IMMUNE SYSTEM. WHICH MAKES THEIR KIDS MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO GETTING FLUES AND COVE IT AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE. NOW WE'VE HAD MORE CHILDREN DIE OF THE FLU IN THE PAST YEARS, THEN THEY HAVE.

EVER OF COVID, AND WE DIDN'T MASK UP THEN. WHY ARE WE DOING IT NOW? I'M BEGGING YOU BECAUSE IT'S NOT HEALTHY TO RIDE AROUND IN THE PAST, WITH THE EXHAUST FROM YOUR CAR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. YOU WOULDN'T DO THAT. IT MAKES NO SENSE. YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO DO IT WITH THIS EITHER.

AND YES, THERE'S A LOT OF PASSIONATE PARENTS OUT HERE WERE VERY UPSET. YOU KNOW OUR CHILDREN OR DEPRESSED? THEY'RE YOU KNOW THEY'RE COMMITTING SUICIDE. LOOK AT THE STATISTICS.

HOW MANY KIDS DIED THIS YEAR FROM SUICIDE? ASK ANY PSYCH DOCTOR IN THE AREA AND ROUND IF THEY'VE GOT AN APPOINTMENT AVAILABLE FOR THE NEXT SIX MONTHS, BECAUSE I GUARANTEE YOU WON'T FIND ANY. ASK THEM HOW MUCH THE ANTIDEPRESSANT RAPE WITH OUR YOUTH HAS GONE UP.

THIS IS PSYCHOLOGICAL DAMAGE. MY KID WOULD FARE BETTER BEING EXPOSED TO THE GERMS. I BRING HIM HOME EVERY DAY. I DON'T WEAR A MASK. I DEAL WITH CURB IT POSITIVE PATIENTS. I BELIEVE IN MY IMMUNE SYSTEM, AND I HAVE SINCE DAY ONE AND I THINK THAT YOU SHOULD BELIEVE IN YOURS TOO. I BEG YOU GUYS, THIS ISN'T THIS ISN'T MEANT TO BE A PERSONAL ATTACK, BUT IT'S VERY SERIOUS. YEAH. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND YOU'LL HAVE TWO MINUTES. GOOD EVENING. I STAND HERE TODAY WITH EVERY PARENT OUTSIDE THAT COULD NOT GET IN THE BUILDING TO VOICE THEIR CONCERNS ABOUT THE UPCOMING SCHOOL YEAR. THIS ISN'T ABOUT DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN. THIS ISN'T ABOUT POLITICS AT ALL. THIS IS ABOUT WHAT IS RIGHT FOR OUR CHILDREN, FORCING OUR CHILDREN TO COVER THEIR BEAUTIFUL FACES IS WRONG. WE AS PARENTS SHOULD BE ABLE TO CHOOSE IF OUR CHILDREN SHOULD WEAR MASKS IN SCHOOL. THIS IS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IN THIS COUNTRY FULL OF COWARDS. STAND UP AND BE BRAVE. DO THE RIGHT THING FOR OUR CHILDREN MAKE MASKS OPTIONAL. YOU. UNILATERALLY MAKING DECISIONS ABOUT OUR CHILDREN'S HEALTH AND WELL BEING WITHOUT OUR INPUT WITHOUT REGARDS TO THEIR SOCIAL, EMOTIONAL AND MENTAL WELL BEING AND WITHOUT OUR CONSENT. YOUR APPOINTMENT OR ELECTION ELECTED POSITION DOES NOT GIVE YOU THE AUTHORITY TO MAKE MEDICAL DECISIONS OR TO CHOOSE WHAT YOU THINK IS BEST. THERE ARE CHILDREN AND WE KNOW WHAT IS BEST FOR THEM. YOU ARE HERE TO REPRESENT US, NOT REPLACE US AND OUR AUTHORITY OVER OUR CHILDREN. LAST YEAR WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY AS THE WORST YEAR EVER ACADEMICALLY MENTALLY AND EMOTIONALLY. FOR SO MANY KIDS. YOUR DECISIONS DIRECTLY CAUSED OUR CHILDREN TO NOT ONLY FALL BEHIND ACADEMICALLY, BUT ALSO SUFFER AND UNNECESSARILY STRUGGLE MENTALLY FROM SOCIAL ISOLATION. LOSS OF IN PERSON LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES, LOSS OF ATHLETIC ABILITY. SORRY. LOSS OF ATHLETIC ACTIVITIES AND EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES.

VIRTUAL SCHOOL DOESN'T WORK. IT FAILED SO MANY CHILDREN. THOSE OF US THAT CHOOSE TO HAVE CHOOSE IN PERSON SIGNED A WAIVER TAKING ALL RISK ASSOCIATED WITH SENDING OUR CHILDREN TO SCHOOL. US. BOARD MEMBERS ARE ELECTED AND APPOINTED TO REPRESENT THE COMMUNITY. IT IS YOUR JOB AND RESPONSIBILITY TO ALLOW US PARENTS TO CHOOSE WHAT IS RIGHT FOR OUR CHILDREN. YOU HAVE FAILED OUR CHILDREN, AND FOR THAT REASON I HAVE DECIDED TO

[01:00:05]

MOST IMPORTANTLY, WITHOUT OF BOTH GOING TO BE SHORT TONIGHT. I WANT YOU GUYS JUST STOP THIS MASK MANDATE. HAVE THE DISCUSSION. DO YOUR DUE DILIGENCE AND MAKE SURE TO LISTEN TO THE FACTS. LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE AND COME TO THE CONCLUSION. THE COMMUNITY THAT CAME HERE TONIGHT. THE COMMUNITY THAT WE HAVE IN OUR, UH, IN THIS COUNTY. GREAT PEOPLE. I'M A LIFELONG HARFORD COUNTY RESIDENT. I WANT MY KIDS TO GO TO HARPER COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS, BUT I'M SORRY. CANNOT LET THEM BE DESTRUCTED BY THE GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT ARE PUT TOGETHER WITHIN THE HARPER COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM. WE'VE HAD TWO PHENOMENAL TEACHERS THIS PAST TWO YEARS. MISS DAVIS, MRS TEETER AT RED PUMP ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. THEY NEED EVERY SINGLE ACCOLADE GIVEN TO THEM. THEY BUCKLED DOWN AND THEY MADE SURE MY DAUGHTER DID EXACTLY WHAT WAS NEEDED. WHAT I'M DISAPPOINTED ABOUT. THE FUTURE IS SO BLEAK.

AND NOBODY REALLY CARES ABOUT IT. I WANT YOU GUYS TO VOTE. GO ON RECORD SO THAT WE AS A COMMUNITY CAN START HEALING AND CONTINUED. STOP THE CONTINUOUS DIVIDE. THAT IS SUPPORTED BY THIS BOARD OF EDUCATION. HERE IN HARFORD COUNTY. LIKE I SAID, I'M GOING TO KEEP IT SHORT. IS THERE SOMEBODY ON THIS BOARD? IT TAKES ONE OF YOU TO HAVE THE COURAGE TO ASK FOR A BOAT IN A DISCUSSION. IS THERE A SINGLE ONE OF YOU HERE TONIGHT? YEAH. PLEASE. LET'S HAVE THAT DISCUSSION AND HAVE THAT BOAT. THANK YOU.

IF YOU COULD PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. YOU'LL HAVE TWO MINUTES. MY NAME IS REGINA KING. HAD SOMETHING ELSE PREPARED TO SPEAK. BUT I JUST, UM JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU ALL THAT I THINK THAT WE ARE SO DIVIDED. SEEM TO BE ABLE TO HEAR WHAT EACH OTHER SAYING.

YES. YEAH. WHAT DO I MOVE THIS THAT BETTER? OKAY? JUST THAT WE'RE SO DIVIDED. WE SEEM TO NOT BE ABLE TO HEAR EACH OTHER AND THE REALITY IS THAT I FEEL LIKE WE ALL WANT TO LIVE IN HEALTH AND PEACE. I BELIEVE WE ALL WANT WHAT'S BEST FOR OUR CHILDREN AND FOR OUR COMMUNITY.

AND WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EACH OTHER COMMUNICATION IS SO VITAL. ALL OF US MAKE MISTAKES.

CAN ANY OF YOU SAY YOU'VE NEVER MADE A MISTAKE? THE BIGGER YOUR POSITION, THE BIGGER YOUR MISTAKES. YOU KNOW THE C D. C WITH THE WHOLE SYPHILIS MESS BACK. BUT YOU KNOW IT DIDN'T GET STOPPED UNTIL THE 19 SEVENTIES. WHY DID IT GET STOPPED BECAUSE IT WAS LEAKED TO THE MEDIA. UM THE. THE LINE AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO SAY IT THE LATTER MADE THAT CAUSED ALL THE BIRTH DEFECTS. I MEAN, THESE ARE YOU KNOW, MEDICATIONS AND THINGS THAT PEOPLE HAVE USED AND IT'S JUST. PEOPLE MAKE MISTAKES. AND YOU KNOW, I'VE HEARD. I KNOW PERSONALLY, PEOPLE THAT HAVE DIED AND PEOPLE THAT HAVE GOTTEN SICK FROM THE VACCINE.

MASKS THEY'RE SO HARD TO WEAR. MY MOM HAS THE WORST TIME SHE ALMOST FAINTS EVERY SINGLE TIME. I MEAN, IT'S JUST REALLY A PROBLEM AND. I KNOW THAT IN THE BEGINNING YOU WERE SHARING THAT SOMEONE SAID THAT YOU KNOW THAT ALL OF THE. THE COMMENTS THAT ARE BEING MADE THAT THEY'RE ALL FALSE OR NOT FALSE. YOU KNOW WHAT? I WENT TO GEORGE PARLIAMENTARY. I'M A FIRST GENERATION AMERICAN. BOTH MY CURRENT PARENTS CAME FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY. UM, I HAD KIDS SPIT ON MY HEAD. YOU KNOW, AND THEY WERE YELLING RACIAL EPITAPHS ON THE SCHOOL BUS, BUT.

YOU KNOW IT WAS HANDLED AND IT WAS LIKE, FINE. AND, UM, TO THIS DAY, I DON'T EVEN KNOW EXACTLY WHO EVEN DID THAT. BUT I REALLY THINK THAT NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE THINGS LIKE THAT HAPPEN, AND IT'S CALLED BULLYING. IT'S NOT REALLY JUST BECAUSE OF WHO YOU ARE.

SOMETIMES SOMETIMES IT IS, BUT A LOT OF TIMES. IT'S JUST BULLYING. AND WE JUST NEED TO LIKE LISTEN TO EACH OTHER AND UNDERSTAND THAT. YOU KNOW, YOU CAN HAVE ANOTHER 15 SECONDS. IT TOOK YOU A MINUTE. I'M SORRY. YEAH, I JUST I JUST FEEL LIKE WE REALLY NEED TO LIKE, LISTEN TO EACH OTHER AND. I YOU KNOW, WE ADOPTED OR OUR SON WHO IS BLACK AND. IT REALLY UPSETS ME

[01:05:02]

FIRST, I THOUGHT THAT WAS KIND OF RUDE. UM, WHEN YOUR GUYS' PART ALSO. I'M GOING TO START WITH, UM I'M GONNA START BY SAYING ONE THING I DID HEAR THE DOCTOR MENTIONED WAS THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T TRUST THE C D. C. MAYBE THAT'S BECAUSE POLITICS HAS SEEPED INTO EVERY CONVERSATION INVOLVING COVID SO BADLY THAT NOBODY TRUST THE GOVERNMENT INSTITUTIONS. MAYBE IT'S THINGS LIKE BACK IN MAY. IT WAS REPORTED THAT UNION HEADS WITH THE FT LOBBIED THE C D. C. LOBBY THEM ON PREVENTION TECHNIQUES AND EVEN THE LANGUAGE FOR SCHOOL REOPENING GUIDANCE. THE EMAILS WERE OBTAINED THROUGH A FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST. SO YOU CLAIM THAT YOU'RE TAKING GUIDANCE NOW FROM THE CDC, BECAUSE THERE'S NO STATE MASK MANDATE, YET IT'S BEEN PROVEN THAT THE POWERFUL TEACHER UNION HEADS HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THE CDC TO DEVELOP THAT GUIDANCE. FOR WHATEVER POLICIES THAT THE TEACHERS UNIONS WANTED TO BE AND THEN CLEANED. YOU'RE ONLY FOLLOWING THE CDC GUIDANCE IN WHICH THE AFT HELPED DEVELOP THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE, AND IT DOESN'T SEEM LEGIT. I DON'T WANT TO GET INTO THE POLITICS OR SCIENCE FOR EVERY ARTICLE I BRING UP ABOUT HOW MASKS MIGHT NOT BE. IT MIGHT BE INEFFECTIVE, BUT ALSO MAYBE EVEN BE DETRIMENTAL TO SPREADING THE VIRUS. SOMEBODY ELSE LIKE THE DOCTOR COULD BRING UP A COUNTERPOINT TO COUNTER STUDY, ESPECIALLY UNFORTUNATELY, KIDS TO WEAR MASKS. MHM. WHAT'S CLEAR TO ME IS PEOPLE ARE GOING TO FOLLOW THE SCIENCE THEY CHOOSE TO BELIEVE ORGANIZATIONS ARE GOING TO FOLLOW SCIENCE THEY CHOOSE TO BELIEVE WE SHOULD NOT BE STRIPPED OF OUR PERSONAL LIBERTY AND CHOICES TO MAKE OUR OWN DECISIONS WE ALL ACROSS IS ALL POSSIBLE FOR US TO DO OUR OWN. RISK ANALYSIS AND MAKE THE DECISIONS THAT SEEM BEST FOR US AND OUR KIDS. I'M GOING TO END WITH THIS, UM, WHEN IT COMES TO MASK IT SEEMS LIKE YOU'RE NOT TAKING THE LEAD FROM GOVERNOR HER AGAIN BECAUSE THERE'S NO STATE BY MASKING MANDATE. ARMY IT'S NOT LOCALLY, SO WE'RE FOLLOWING CDC GUIDANCE, BUT THE PARENTS DESERVE ON SOME SORT OF GAME PLAN. I FEEL LIKE SO I KNOW ANOTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS THAT CAME UP LIKE THE GREEN TO RED IF THE POSITIVITY RATE IS HERE, BOB, MAYBE WE COULD DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT. THE PARENTS LOOK, LOOK, WE DO HAVE A GAME PLAN FOR THE FUTURE AND MASKS AREN'T DEFINITE AS LONG AS LIKE. THERE'S NO GAME PLAN. IT JUST SEEMS LIKE YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING. SO WE NEED A GAME PLAN. GOING FORWARD. YOUR TIME IS UP, SIR. MM.

ANYONE ELSE? REALLY HELPED OUT THERE. RIGHT WELL WITH THAT, SINCE THERE IS NO ONE ELSE OUTSIDE, WAITING TO BEAT. WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A BRIEF FIVE MINUTE BREAK.

WEEKENDS IT'S THAT THINGS UP TO DO OUR VIRTUAL COLIN. SO WE'RE ADJOURNED FOR A FEW MINUTES FOR A DRINK.

[01:18:50]

[01:18:59]

[01:20:01]

DEFINITION FOR THAT IS WHERE A PERSON AIR BABIES HAVE TROUBLE REMEMBERING LEARNING NEW THINGS, CONCENTRATING OR MAKING DECISIONS BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF OXYGEN TO THE BRAIN. ALL THINGS THEY NEED TO KNOW IN SCHOOL. I'M NOT ASKING YOU GUYS TO ROLL EITHER WAY. THE FACT THAT THEY HAVEN'T SEEN SOME OF THEIR CLASSMATES SMILES IS DISGUSTING. THE FACT THAT THEY DON'T SEE THEIR ENGLISH TEACHER ENUNCIATE THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE, WHICH IS ONE OF THE HARDEST LANGUAGES TO LEARN ON THE YEARS DISCUSSING ALL I ASK IS THAT YOU GIVE US OUR AMERICAN FREEDOM. MAKE IT A CHOICE. THANK YOU.

SPEAKER TO COME IN. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME, THEN YOU'LL HAVE TWO MINUTES. YES, PLEASE. MY NAME'S SIERRA. A LETTER FROM MY UNBORN CHILD BECAUSE I'M DOING TWO MONTHS AND FROM THE NATURE PRESCHOOL THAT I WORK FOR. PLEASE CONSIDER THE RAMIFICATIONS OF PROLONGED MASK USE COVERING THE MOUSE, THE MOUTH AND FACE OF ALL CHILDREN. I DO NOT WANT. TO LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE VOICES ARE NOT HEARD. SMILES AREN'T SEEN AND THEREFORE LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT IS HEAVILY DELAYED AND SOCIAL SKILLS ARE PLACED ON THE BACK BURNER. IF YOUR VACCINE WORKS, WHY DO YOU CARE IF ANYONE AROUND YOU OR THE CHILDREN HAS A MASK ON THEIR FACE IF IT TRULY WORKS? AND THAT IS YOUR CHOICE TO GET THE JOB THEM ALL AS WELL. DO WHAT YOU ARE COMFORTABLE WITH AND LEAVE US ALONE. YOU CANNOT MANDATE MY CHILD TO WEAR A FACE DIAPER. THERE'S TRULY SPIRITUAL WARFARE AT PLAY HERE, AND IF YOU HAVE ANY COMMON SENSE AT ALL. STAND THAT LANGUAGE, DEVELOPMENT AND SOCIAL SKILLS WILL BE DEMOLISHED WITH THE CONTINUOUS MANDATE OF MASKS. MY BODY. MY CHOICE, MY CHILD. MY CHOICE NOT TO MENTION THAT OUTDOOR USE OF MASKS IN THE HEAT OF SUMMER IS A HEAT RISK AS A TEACHER WHO WORKS. IN AN OUTDOOR ENVIRONMENT AND THE MASK THE MASK MANDATE IS CRUEL, AND IT'S CONFUSING TO ALL OF THE CHILDREN. I CAN SEE IT ON THEIR FACES. YOU CANNOT SEE THAT I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU DISCOVER WHY WITHIN YOURSELF, YOU SUPPORT THIS ABUSE NORMAL IS OUT OF THE WINDOW BY FAR BUT MY CHILD WILL NOT FOLLOW BLINDLY. I WILL NOT SIT BACK AND FOLLOW BLINDLY. ENJOY YOUR SEAT IN A ROOM FULL OF WOLVES BECAUSE YOU ALL ARE SHEEP. EXPAND YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS, PLEASE, AND FORGET YOUR JOB FOR ONE SECOND. DEEP DOWN. YOU KNOW WHAT IS RIGHT? AND WHAT IS CLEARLY WRONG. HE WILL HAVE NO STUDENTS REMAINING IN YOUR SCHOOLS. IF THINGS DO NOT CHANGE. LET ME BREAK THIS DOWN FOR YOU IN A SIMPLE LIST ONE THEY SAY MASKS DON'T WORK, TOO.

MASKS DO WORK THREE TO MASK WORK EVEN BETTER. FORGET VACCINATED BECAUSE MASKS DO NOT WORK. FIVE VACCINATION ISN'T WORKING. SO WHERE MASS THAT DOESN'T WORK SIX KEEP WEARING MASKS THAT DO NOT WORK TILL EVERYONE GETS THE VACCINE. THAT DOESN'T WORK. DID I GET THAT RIGHT? THIS IS NO LONGER SCIENCE. ITS COMPLIANCE. I'M NOT WEARING A FACE DIAPER, AND NEITHER ARE THE CHILDREN KNOW, LEARNING TAKES PLACE WITH THEM AND EXISTENCE. PLEASE DO AWAY WITH THEM. EVERYONE HAS A RIGHT AND FREEDOM TO CLEAN ACCESS OF AIR AND TO GET FULL OXYGEN.

PLEASE CONSIDER THE ETHICS OF THIS HUMAN INDECENCY AND PUSH THAT, MA'AM THANK YOU. HI. CAN YOU PLEASE GIVE US YOUR NAME AND THEN YOU'LL HAVE TWO MINUTES. YES. MY NAME IS NATHAN ALMER, TOO IN THE PUBLIC SERVANT AND KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO MAKE TOUGH DECISIONS. IN FACT, HAVE A CHILD GOING INTO THE FIRST GRADE AND ONE GOING INTO THE KITCHEN. HAVE ANY IDEA WHATSOEVER WHAT IT'S LIKE FOR THAT. DO YOU THINK MY KINDERGARTENER IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO LEARN DIFFERENT SOUNDS AND THE LETTERS IN THE ALPHABET AND THE SOUNDS THEY MAKE WITH CAN'T SEE HIS TEACHER'S FACE. IS HE SUPPOSED TO LEARN HOW TO DO THIS? JUST BY WEARING A MASK? HER CHILDHOOD IS STRUGGLING TO DO THIS. YOU KNOW HOW MUCH HARDER YOU ARE MAKING

[01:25:02]

THEY'RE NOT GOING TO COMPLAIN TO YOU. THEY'RE GOING TO COMPLAIN TO MOMMY AND DAD.

YEAH. YOU SAY THEY HAVE YOUR BEST INTEREST AT HEART, THEN LET EVERYBODY MAKE A CHOICE IF THE MASK IS SO GOOD AT PROTECTING YOU AND YOU WEAR FRIENDS ON MY CHILD AND MY LIBERTY. ANOTHER MINUTE TO KEEP IT GOING. I MEAN, YOU ACTUALLY HAVE CHILDREN IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS, AND ARE YOU FORCING THEM TO WEAR MASK? I KNOW YOU'RE HAVING THE SAME TOUGH CONVERSATIONS LIKE DADDY. WHY DO I HAVE TO DO THIS? HOW DO I EXPLAIN IT TO HIM? THAT I CAN'T DO ANYTHING. NOW, IF THERE ARE PARENTS OUT THERE THAT WANT TO WEAR LIKE I SAID, YOU DO WHAT'S RIGHT FOR YOUR FAMILY. DON'T PUSH YOUR VIEWS ON ME LIKE I'M NOT GOING TO PUSH MY VIEWS ON YOU. SEE MHM. TO END HERE. I WANT TO RAMBLE. PLEADING WITH YOU. MY HEART. I CAME TO HARFORD COUNTY BECAUSE OF THE SCHOOL YEAR STREAK OF HER FOUNTAIN. GREEN WAS GREAT. WE MOVED INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD ORIGINALLY FROM PENNSYLVANIA. WHAT YOU'RE FORCING ME TO DO IS WE ALREADY HAVE A PLAN THAT WITHDRAWAL AND MOVE BACK. WON'T SEE MY KIDS FROM MONDAY TO FRIDAY BECAUSE WE'LL BE LIVING WITH GRANDMA. PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME DO THIS. I SAID YOU'RE JUST GOING TO. I CAN'T FORCE YOU TO DO IT. PLEASE. I PLEAD YOU TO HEAR MY VOICE. I'M JUST GOING TO TRY TO AFFECT YOU THE ONLY WAY I CAN AND THAT'S WITH MONEY. I KNOW YOU GET FUNDING THROUGH LIKE IT'S GOING TO YOUR SCHOOL. I'M GOING TO TAKE MY TAXES. MY REVENUE ELSEWHERE.

CECIL COUNTY HAS OPENED IT UP HEART. CARROLL COUNTY. JUST LET US MAKE A DECISION. EVENING.

JILL BHARARA. THANK YOU. SO I'M GONNA START OFF READING A BRAND. UM, TEXT MESSAGE I GOT WHILE I WAS SITTING AT COUNTY COUNCIL. SAYS ENJOYED THE PHOTOS OF YOUR VACATION. WE NEED TO GET TOGETHER SOMETIME SOON. I ASK YOU IS THIS SONIA? DID I USE THE WRONG PHONE TO TEXT YOU? SO I TOOK THAT OPPORTUNITY. HAS SENT A TEXT BACK SAYING, UNMASK OUR KIDS, STOP INDOCTRINATION AND CRT FIRE BOTH IN NEUBERT, MORE VIRTUAL LEARNING NO MANDATORY VACCINATION. AND STOP THE ABUSE OF OUR CHILDREN. THIS BOARD MEMBER SAYS TO ME HOW ARE YOU? REALLY? I SAID, I FINALLY TEXT BACK AGAIN ANOTHER DAY, I HEAR MASS WILL BE MANDATORY. AS OF MONDAY. CAN YOU CONFIRM? WHO IS THIS? I KNOW IT'S NOT TAMARA BECAUSE I JUST SPOKE TO HER. I NEVER SAID I WAS ANYONE. F Y I, MY FRIEND WOULD NOT ASK ME TO VIOLATE CONFIDENTIALITY. SHE HAS ETHICS. I SAID, I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. WHAT CONFIDENTIALITY THERE IS THIS. I TOLD HER I WILL SPEAK TO HER AT THE BEAUTY MEETING MONDAY. I WANT YOUR NAME OR I'M REPORTING YOU TO THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE. SINCE YOU ARE FRAUDULENTLY USING MS RUSSIA'S IDENTITY. YOU TEXTED ME. I WANT TO KNOW. HOW YOU GOT MY NUMBER. IS THIS YOUR NEW NUMBER? IS THIS A NEW NUMBER FOR YOU? AS A MEMBER OF THE BOARD. I'M NOT PERMITTED TO SHARE INFORMATION THAT MUST BE RELEASED BY THE SUPERINTENDENT. HE IS THE ONLY PERSON AUTHORIZED TO MAKE AND SHARE DECISIONS THAT ARE IN THE REALM OF A DAY TO DAY OPERATIONS OF THE SCHOOL SYSTEM. YOU ALSO SAID YOU WOULD SPEAK TO ME MONDAY AT THE MEETING FACT CHANCE, MISS RUSSIA IS NO LONGER ON THE BOARD. THAT'S FRAUD. SO STOP THE GAMES. I TOLD HER. THIS IS HARASSMENT. AT THIS POINT, YOU'RE AS YOU'RE MAKING FRAUDULENT CLAIMS. AND YOU NEED OF THAT. SO WE HAVE A BOARD MEMBER WHO SAID THAT BOLSON IS ALLOWED TO MAKE WHATEVER DECISIONS HE WANTS. THAT IT'S ALL DONE BEHIND CLOSED DOORS NOT OUT IN PUBLIC TO THE PARENTS. AND TEACHERS OR ANYONE. THANK YOU YOUR TIME.

EITHER. IF YOU COULD PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME? YES, PAUL LANE. THANK YOU. THE REASON WHY I'M HERE TO SPEAK TODAY IS MAINLY, I'M WORRIED ABOUT OR I'M TIRED OF TALKING ABOUT CASES. WE GET THAT COPE. IT'S HERE TO STAY. IT'S NOT GOING ANYWHERE FOR A WHILE, SO WE NEED TO MOVE ON TO THE NEXT THING. AND THE ONE THING THAT I'M WORRIED ABOUT IS THE DEATHS. I LOOKED UP NUMBERS FROM THE JOINT REPORT OF AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS AND THE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION. THAT'S GOOD. AS OF AUGUST 12TH OF THIS YEAR. UM FOR THE UNITED STATES, WE HAVE 75 MILLION KIDS UNDER THE AGE OF 18 IN THIS COUNTRY. OUT OF 75 MILLION KIDS ONLY 378 KIDS TOTAL IN THE ENTIRE UNITED STATES AT A 75 MILLION HAVE DIED OF COVID 19 IN THE STATE OF MARYLAND. THERE'S 1.5 MILLION KIDS UNDER THE AGE OF

[01:30:06]

GRAND TOTAL IN THE ENTIRE UNITED STATES, WHETHER 75 MILLION CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 18 378 KIDS. IN CONTRAST, THE NUMBER OF KIDS WHO HAVE DIED IN THAT SAME TIMEFRAME OF PNEUMONIA WITH 809. SO IF THE TEACHERS ARE REALLY WORRIED ABOUT THEIR SAFETY, MAYBE WE COULD TAKE THE BUDGET THAT YOU GUYS USE FOR IT. UM, THE LAPTOPS AND GET THESE TEACHERS IN 95, MASS. OR I MEAN THE KIDS FOR THE LAPTOPS. GET IN 95 MASK FOR ALL THE TEACHERS, HEL EVEN IF THEY GOT TO PUT IT ON THE LIST FOR US, I'LL BUY THE TEACHERS IN 95 MESS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE SAFE OR IF THEY'RE REALLY WORRIED ABOUT IT. IF THE VACCINES WORK SO GREAT TO MAKE SURE THEY ALL GET VACCINATED. THE MAIN THING. THE LAST THING I WANT TO SAY IS, I KNOW YOU GUYS ALL KNOW THE FIRST MONTH OF SCHOOL WHEN EVERYBODY COMES BACK TOGETHER, THE KIDS ALWAYS GET SICK. IT HAPPENS EVERY YEAR. SO PLEASE DON'T TRY TO PULL SOME BS ABOUT.

OH WE'RE HAVING A SPAKE IN CASES AND ALL THIS CRAP. MY KIDS HAVE BEEN PLAYING WITH THE SAME THINGS THAT THEY GO TO SCHOOL WITH ALL SUFFER EVEN FIVE.

WHO ARE AREN'T WHO.

AND THEN WE WILL. HARD ON OUR VIRTUAL CALLERS. THANK YOU.

SERVING, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. I AM JAMES BREWSTER. THANK YOU. YOU MAY START OKAY? ACCORDING TO 27, YEAR, HEALTH AND SAFETY PROFESSIONAL CHRIS SCHAFER, WHO SPECIALIZES IN RESPIRATORS, RESPIRATOR, TRAINING AND FIT TESTING IN PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SECTORS.

STATES MESS WITHOUT HOLES. FOR THE PERSON TO EXPEL CARBON DIOXIDE AND INTAKE OXYGEN CAN BE EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS TO OUR HEALTH MASS WITHOUT OUTPUT AND INTAKE, HOLES, TRAP HEAT AND MOISTURE, WHICH CREATES THE IDEAL ENVIRONMENT FOR BACTERIA AND FUNGUS TO GROW, WHICH THE WEAR THEMSELVES THEN INHALE, WHICH CAN RESULT IN INFECTIONS. GERMAN STUDY AT THE UNIVERSITY OF WITTEN, HER DECK E. ON CHILDREN AND TEENAGERS WEARING MASKS FOUND THEY SUFFERED FROM IRRITABILITY, HEADACHES, DIFFICULTIES CONCENTRATING, SADNESS, RELUCTANCE TO ATTEND SCHOOL MALAISE, IMPAIRED LEARNING, FATIGUE AND DROWSINESS. OUR CHILDREN ARE BEING PSYCHOLOGICALLY TRAUMATIZED. MY SON WAS AFRAID TO HUG HIS OWN MOTHER AND COWARD IT AWAY BECAUSE SHE WASN'T WEARING A MASK. MARK MCDONALD, A CHILD PSYCHIATRISTS PRACTICING IN WEST L. A STATE'S MASKS AND STILL AND REINFORCE FEAR IN CHILDREN. THAT THEY BECOME SCARED AND PHOBIC AND THAT THEIR EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT BECOMES STUNTED, ACCORDING TO THE CBC. AS OF AUGUST 11TH 2021 FROM JANUARY 4TH 2022 AUGUST 7TH 2021.

THERE'S BEEN 610,000. DEATHS RECORDED FROM COVID 19, THE UNITED STATES AGES. 0 TO 18 DEATH COUNT IS 423. 0.7. AND IF THIS IS ABOUT KILLING GRANDMA, THERE IS NOT A SINGLE

[01:35:09]

WE ALLOW YOU TO FORCE OUR KIDS TO WEAR MASKS NEXT WILL BE FORCING VACCINATIONS ON THEM.

AND THE FDA IS NOT EVEN APPROVED IT. IT IS NOT YOUR JOB TO PUSH POLITICAL PROPAGANDA INTO OUR CHILDREN IN ORDER TO KEEP YOUR FEDERAL AND STATE FUNDING YOUR TIME IS THAT I'M ABOUT. MHM. IF YOU COULD GIVE US YOUR NAME FOR SAN DRAMATIC THANK YOU. HERE WE GO AGAIN LAST YEAR. LICENSEE AND ALLOWED TO ENJOY. BIT NORMALCY. SLOWLY. THEY VOTED BLUE BLOODED MASK MANDATES. 24 7. YOU'RE LEARNING IN LOCKDOWN, SO THE VACCINES DEVELOPED AND DISTRIBUTED. IN THE MEANTIME, THE CDC HAS CHANGED THE DEFINITION OF HERD IMMUNITY TO EXCLUDE THOSE WHO HAVE ACTUAL ANTIBODIES. ELSE. HE ADMITTED A NEWLY RE SERVICE VIDEO THAT THE WIDELY USED PCR TEST PICK UP HARMLESS FRAGMENTS OF CORONAVIRUS, RESULTING IN THE FALSE. POSITIVE CASES THAT RESULTED IN OVERSTATING THE THREAT. MEANWHILE, KIDS WERE DYING OF SUICIDE, INCLUDING POSSIBLY MINE. ADULTS WERE TOO SCARED TO TAKE CARE OF NORMAL HEALTHCARE AND PREVENTABLE DEATHS WERE TICKING UP. THEY TOLD YOU THAT THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY ASYMPTOMATIC SPREAD, WHICH IS NOW WALK BACK BECAUSE OF THE FAULTY PCR TEST. CDC NOW CLAIMS TO HAVE TO REPLACE THE PCR TEST WITH THE TEST THAT DIFFERENTIATES BETWEEN COVID AND THE FLU. NOW THEY ARE TELLING THE SCARY DELTA VARIANT THAT IS MORE DANGEROUS AND THAT EVERYONE IS GETTING THE DELTA VARIANT, BUT THEY DON'T ACTUALLY HAVE A TEST TO TEST BETWEEN THE FLU AND COVID, SO THEY DEFINITELY DON'T HAVE A TEST FOR THE LATEST STRAIN. WARNED ANYONE THAT WOULD LISTEN TO ME THAT THERE WAS HER AGENDA AND CALMER WATERS WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. THIS YEAR BECAUSE THE MOST DANGEROUS STRAIN OF PROFIT IS THE PALM STRAIN. YOU'RE BEING CONNED. THE SCHOOL BOARD SAYS. LOOK OVER HERE WE ARE DOING SCHOOL REBALANCING. IN REALITY, THAT'S THE LEAST OF THEIR WORRIES. THEY HOPE YOU'RE WORRIED THAT YOUR KID'S LIFE IS GOING TO CHANGE BECAUSE THE SCHOOL CHANGE OR THEIR AGENDA IS MORE FAR REACHING. THEY CHANGED THE WORDS TO MAKE CRITICAL RELATIONSHIP THEORY. WHICH HAS NOW CHANGED AGAIN SOUND LIKE SOMETHING THAT NO REASONABLE PERSON WOULD OPPOSE, WHEN IN REALITY IS JUST RACISM DRESSED UP IN A BOW. MANDATORY VACCINES ARE COMING. THEY'RE COMING FOR EVERYONE. YOU'VE BEEN BACK. I'M GLAD FOR YOU.

YOU WILL SOON NEED ONE EVERY SIX MONTHS. YOUR CHILDREN WILL NEED ONE EVERY SIX MONTHS. AND IF YOU DON'T THEY WILL THREATEN YOUR JOB. THEY WILL SEGREGATE YOU, MARK YOU AS AN OTHER RESTRICTOR, SHOPPING AND BANKING, ETCETERA. MY FAVORITE QUOTE HAS ALWAYS BEEN. TAKES A

[01:40:01]

THEN YOU DIDN'T EVEN TAKE THE TIME TO SHUT DOWN AND CLEAN THE SCHOOLS. THERE HAS NOT BEEN ONE COVID PEDIATRIC DEATH IN HARFORD COUNTY TO DATE. THE CDC HAS FLIP FLOPPED ONLY EFFECTIVENESS OF MASKS SINCE THE VERY BEGINNING, THE MASKS ARE NOT THE ANSWER. YOU'VE PROVIDED ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS FOR PARENTS WHO ARE TOO FEARFUL TO SEND THEIR CHILDREN TO SCHOOL. FEARFUL SHOULD NOT DICTATE WHAT THE REST OF US DO. WEARING MASK FOR PROLONGED PERIODS OF TIME HAVE BEEN PROVEN. TO AFFECT CHILDREN'S HEALTH. THEY'RE AFFECTING THEIR MENTAL HEALTH, STAY HINDER DEVELOPMENT AND LEARNING. THEY ARE NOT THE ANSWER IF YOU WANT TO GO WITH FOLLOW THE SCIENCE FOLLOW ALL OF THE SCIENCE, EVEN SCIENCE. YOU DON'T AGREE WITH.

I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO ADDRESS THE FACT THAT DR BOLSON DOES NOT LIVE IN HARFORD COUNTY. SO WHY ARE YOU MAKING DECISIONS FOR A COUNTY THAT YOU DO NOT? YOU'RE NOT A PART OF STOP THE POLITICAL NONSENSE. GET THE KIDS BACK IN SCHOOL MASK FREE. WE WANT TO SAVE NONPOLITICAL, HAPPY PLACE FOR OUR CHILDREN TO LEARN. WE ARE ANGRY AND WE WILL NOT ALLOW YOU. YOUR TIME IS UP.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

HELLO? MY NAME DAVID. BUT THANK YOU. YOU CAN START WHEN YOU'RE RUNNING.

U. S SPEAKER JUST KIND OF FITTING FOR WHAT I HAVE TO SAY. NOTE NOTE THING ANYBODY SAID HERE, NO FACTS, NO SCIENCE. NO EXPERIENCE IS GOING TO CHANGE YOUR MIND BECAUSE YOU ALREADY MADE UP YOUR DECISION. MANDATE MASKS. BABIES. SWEAT FIELD DIRT FIELD MASSIVE, THEY DON'T WEAR PROPERLY MASTER EVENT FOR ONE TIME USAGE AND THEN THROWN AWAY EVEN A CLOTH MESS THAT YOU'RE WEARING YOU PROBABLY WARM LIKE SIX TIMES A DAY AND TOUCH THEM WITH YOUR HANDS. I MEAN, PART FROM THE M 95 DESK THAT THE ONLY THING IS GOING TO DO IT AT ONE TIME USE AND THROW AWAY.

YOU GOING TO TEACH CRITICAL RACE THEORY? THOUGHT FROM CRITICAL. THEORY FROM MARXISM YOU'RE GOING TO INTRODUCE INTO SCHOOL. YOU'RE JUST NOT GOING TO CALL IT THAT YOU'RE GOING TO CALL IT SOMETHING ELSE, AND IT'S GOING TO BE INTRODUCED IN COMMON CORE. YOU'RE GONNA DO IT ANYWAY. SAID. BUT WHAT'S DIFFERENT NOW IS THAT WE'RE ALL PAYING ATTENTION. MY KIDS HAVE IPHONES THEY'LL BE FILMING. THEY'LL BE TAKING PICTURES AND WHEN THEY DO EXPERIENCE THESE THINGS LIKE LAST YEAR, MY SON PASSED OUT FROM HEAT SHIRT BECAUSE HE FORGOT HIS WATER BOTTLE AND NOBODY WOULD GIVE THEM A WATER BOTTLE BECAUSE OF COVID AND WATER FOUNTAINS HAVE TURNED OFF AND HE HAD HEAT STROKE. I'M GONNA PAY ATTENTION. I'M GOING TO CALL THE NEWS. I'M GOING TO SHARE THE VIDEOS AND THESE PEOPLE WILL BE KNOWN. WILL YOU ALL BE FAMOUS, AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY.

OKAY, THAT CONCLUDES OUR IN PERSON SPEAKERS. MS LATER. ARE YOU READY TO START

[01:45:05]

MAKE MASK WEARING MANDATORY BY FACULTIES. STAFF AND ALL STUDENTS TO CHOOSE THE UTILIZED. HARFORD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM. THIS IS A MATTER OF BOTH INDIVIDUAL AND PUBLIC HEALTH CONCERNS. THE DATA IS CLEAR THAT THE USE OF FACIAL COVERING IN ADDITION TO OTHER RISK MITIGATION STRATEGIES. REDUCES THE RISK OF TRANSMISSION AND SPREAD OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES. INCLUDED, INCLUDING THE COVID 19 VIRUS. SCHOOL BOARD HAS AN OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE OUR STUDENTS WITH THE STATE'S LEARNING ENVIRONMENT. FULL BOARD ALSO HAS A DUTY TO TEACH OUR CHILDREN ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF SCIENCE. TECHNOLOGY, PUBLIC HEALTH AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY. SCHOOL BOARD DECISION TO REACH A DECISION TO REQUIRE MASKS AND CLASSROOMS. LINES WITH THE CURRENT BEST PRACTICES FOR ENSURING THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE LEVEL OF SAFETY FOR OUR CHILDREN. APPRECIATE YOU MAKING THIS DIFFICULT BUT NECESSARY DECISION AND I HOPE THAT YOU WILL MAKE SIMILAR DECISIONS REGARDING THE SAFETY MEASURES SUCH AS CONTACT TRACING POSTED FORGER QUARANTINE. THANK YOU SO MUCH. YOU GUYS PEOPLE FOR LONG SPEND DINNER HERE. GOOD EVENING. YOU ARE NOW ON THE BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING BEFORE YOU BEGIN YOUR PUBLIC COMMENT, PLEASE STATE YOUR FIRST AND LAST NAME. YOUR TIME WILL CONCLUDE IN TWO MINUTES. YOU WILL HEAR A BELL RING WHEN YOU HAVE 30 SECONDS REMAINING. PLEASE INTRODUCE YOURSELF AND YOU MAY BEGIN YOUR PUBLIC COMMENT NOW. HI. UM MY NAME IS CHRIS SNIDER. AND UH, I AM NOT AND SPORT OF THE FACIAL MASS COVERINGS. I BELIEVE THAT THE MASK AND NOT WORK, I BELIEVE THAT. YOU KNOW IF YOU CAN SMALL THINGS LIKE SMOKE OR PERFUME. OR SOME OTHER SMELL. AND MOST CERTAINLY A VIRUS. SIZED, UM. A MICROSCOPIC VIRUS WILL BE ABLE TO, UM GO THROUGH A FACIAL MASK, ALL RIGHT? THERE ARE ALSO OTHER THINGS LIKE THE MASK IS NOT PERFECTLY SHOULD ON THE FACE. WHICH MEANS THE VIRUS CAN GO AROUND IT. UM. VIRUS CAN GO THROUGH YOUR SHARED US AS WELL. UM AND YOU KNOW, I DON'T SEE ANYONE WEARING GOGGLED OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. SO YOU KNOW, AT THE END OF THE DAY THAT THE DEFENSE MOST REALLY DOESN'T WORK. UM, AT BEST. MHM. FACE MASKS, THEY STOP AND DROP.

AND IN THAT PARTICULAR CASE. IT CAN ACTUALLY MAKE THE CONDITION WORSE. BECAUSE IF YOU'RE WEARING A FACE MASK IMPRESSIONIST, THE DROPLETS ON THE MASK. AND THE MASK ITSELF CAUSES ENHANCED BREATHING. ESSENTIALLY WHAT YOU'RE DOING IS FORCING THE VIRUS DOWN INTO YOUR LUNGS BECAUSE THE VIRUSES. OR I'M SORRY. THE DROP LETTERS THING ONE. THE MASK. THE MASK IS MAKING HARDER TO BREATHE AND YOU'RE BREATHING IN THIS DROPLETS ALL DAY LONG.

ESPECIALLY. UM AND YOU KNOW WHEN YOU HAVE HERE TODAY, YOU KNOW, BROUGHT THE MASCULINE FLOOR, PERHAPS. OR PUT IT IN THE PARK HERE OR LAY IT DOWN, FOR INSTANCE. AND THEN THEY PUT THE MASK BACK ON. AND WORK FOR SIX HOURS ALL DAY. THEY'RE PICKING UP OUR CONTRACTOR THAT'S JUST OF OURSELF. UM, YOU KNOW, KIDS COMPLAIN ABOUT HEADACHES AND WEARING THE MASK.

UM. KIDS THAT ARE INVOLVED IN ATHLETIC ACTIVITIES. REACH THE TWO MINUTE, MARK. THANK YOU.

[01:50:03]

YOU WILL HEAR A BELL RING WHEN YOU HAVE 30 SECONDS REMAINING, PLEASE INTRODUCE YOURSELF AND YOU MAY BEGIN YOUR PUBLIC COMMENT NOW. MY NAME IS ALYSSA HALLORAN. I INITIALLY SCHEDULED THIS VIRTUAL COMMENTS SO I COULD EXPLAIN TO THE BOARD WHY I BELIEVE IT'S COMPARATIVE.

REQUIRE MATH FOR THE UPCOMING FAILURE. REGARDLESS OF VACCINE STATUS. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I WAS THRILLED TO RECEIVE THE NOTIFICATION THAT MASKS WILL BE REQUIRED FOR THE UPCOMING SCHOOL YEAR. AS A MOTHER OF THREE CHILDREN, ALL OF WHOM ARE TOO YOUNG TO BE VACCINATED. I WANT TO SEND MY SINCEREST THANK YOU TO THE BOARD OF EDUCATION FOR MAKING THE CALL TO REQUIRE MATH. REQUIRING MASKED, REQUIRING MASKS. FOLLOWS THE SCIENTIFIC GUIDANCE RATHER THAN THE POLITICAL POINTS OF VIEW. REQUIRING THAT PROTECTS OUR CHILDREN. IT MAKES IT MORE LIKELY THAT THIS SCHOOL YEAR WILL BE ABLE TO CONTINUE WITH IN PERSON INSTRUCTION RATHER THAN VIRTUAL LEARNING. THANK YOU AGAIN FOR MAKING A DECISION THAT WILL SERVE TO PROTECT THE CHILDREN OF HER FIRST GAME. GOOD EVENING. YOU ARE NOW ON THE BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING BEFORE YOU BEGIN YOUR PUBLIC COMMENT, PLEASE STATE YOUR FIRST AND LAST NAME. YOUR TIME WILL CONCLUDE IN TWO MINUTES. YOU WILL HEAR A BELL RING WHEN YOU HAVE 30 SECONDS REMAINING.

HE'S INTRODUCED YOURSELF AND YOU MAY BEGIN YOUR PUBLIC COMMENT NOW. HELLO. MY NAME IS JANINE BROWN AND I'M CALLING TO SPEAK UP FOR MY CHILDREN'S WELL BEING. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE MASK. MANDATE MY HUSBAND AND I FEEL STRONGLY THAT MATH SHOULD BE REQUIRED BY EVERYONE IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS FOLLOWING GOT CDC GUIDANCE IF WE ALLOW SOME STUDENTS NOT TO WEAR A MASK. TAKE THE RIGHT TO HELP AWAY FROM EVERYONE ELSE. WE ALSO ENCOURAGE THE BOARD TO RETURN TO HAVING THRESHOLDS FOR QUARANTINING AND IF NECESSARY FOR CLOSING SCHOOLS SINCE THE DELTA VARIANT IS WORSE THAN THE ORIGINAL STRAIN. GETTING GUIDANCE NOW WILL KEEP CHILDREN SAFE AND ALIVE, WHICH IS PARAMOUNT ABOVE ALL OUT FAR BEYOND SOME OF THE OTHER CONCERNS ABOUT MATHS VOICE TODAY. OTHER QUESTIONS INCLUDE. WILL PARENTS BE INFORMED? IF AN UNDOUBTEDLY WIN? A CLASSMATE HAS A POSITIVE DIAGNOSIS? WHAT PERCENTAGE OF SIX CHILDREN WILL IT TAKE BEFORE A SCHOOL IS BRIEFLY CLOSED? NOT HAVING THESE ANSWERS PRIOR TO THE START OF THE SCHOOL YEAR IS A SLIPPERY SLOPE TO FURTHER INNOCENT CHILDREN BEING HARMED.

FINALLY ABOUT REDISTRICTING. WE LIVE IN MH FOUR OFF OF LAUREL BUSH ROAD, AND WE'RE EXTREMELY GRATEFUL THAT WE WILL REMAIN ZONE FOR PATERSON BUILT MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL. THANK YOU AGAIN. SO MUCH FOR HEARING OUR VOICES. GOOD EVENING. YOU ARE NOW ON THE BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING BEFORE YOU BEGIN YOUR PUBLIC COMMENT, PLEASE STATE YOUR FIRST AND LAST NAME. YOUR TIME WILL CONCLUDE IN TWO MINUTES. YOU WILL HEAR A BELL RING WHEN YOU HAVE 30 SECONDS REMAINING, PLEASE INTRODUCE YOURSELF AND YOU MAY BEGIN YOUR PUBLIC COMMENT NOW. HELLO MY NAME IS RILEY RICHARD SPENT AND I AM AN INCOMING. THIS GRADER WHO LIVES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AS PETER DAY, WHICH FALLS ON THE AND EXISTS FOR REGION. OUR CURRENT SCHOOLS ARE HUMPS IS STILL AND PATERSON NO. BUT THE CURRENTLY EXPECTING PLAN I WILL BEGIN MIDDLE SCHOOL AT HENDERSON, MEL, THIS COMING FALL AND THEN WE'LL HAVE TO TRANSFER TO SOUTHAMPTON FOR MY SEVENTH AND A SCRAPE HERE. THIS REDISTRICTING PLANS FOR THAT USER BASE AND THREE OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO POSTED A GREAT FIELD THAT WILL BE ATTENDING SOUTHAMPTON MIDDLE. BETWEEN THESE FOUR NEIGHBORHOOD. I KNOW IT'S TOTAL OF 12 KIDS OUT OF 160 FROM MY FIFTH GRADE GRADUATING CLASS. AS THE BOARD THINK THAT SENDING STUDENTS TO A MIDDLE SCHOOL WAS ONLY 12. OTHER STUDENTS THEY KNOW IT'S THE BEST OPTIONS. ESPECIALLY WHEN OTHER SAID FROM PRETTY MUCH EVERY OTHER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, I GUESS TO MOVE ON WITH ALMOST ALL OF THE KIDS FROM THEIR GRADUATING CLASS. WHAT ARE THE KANSAS I'LL HAVE CLASSES WITH ANY OF EACH OTHER 12 STUDENTS. ISSUES THIS 16 PLANETS ASKING THE KIDS FROM AT MHS SPORTS BASICALLY START SCRAP MAKING STUFF. AND THAT'S DEFINITELY THAT'S NOT SALAD AND HAS YOUR BEST INTEREST IN MINE.

I USED TO BE EXCITED TO START MIDDLE SCHOOL AND BECOME A HUSBAND. EXTERMINATE ON MY FELLOW CONCEPT. THEY STILL FINISHED AS FRIENDS HAVE DONE BEFORE ME, BUT NOW I'M NOT. I'M WORRIED ABOUT TO MAKE NEW FRIENDS JUST HAVE TO SAY GOODBYE TO THEM IN A YEAR.

THAT'S NOT THERE, AND I'M ASKING THE BOARD TO PLEASE RECONSIDER RESIST. THANKS PETER DAY AND THE OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS AND IMAGES. SOURCE. THESE CUBANS PATERSON MILK AND LET US STAY WITH HER FRIENDS. THANK YOU. IT'S FINE. GOOD EVENING, YOU ANNOUNCE BOARD OF EDUCATION

[01:55:04]

PLEASE INTRODUCE YOURSELF AND YOU MAY BEGIN YOUR PUBLIC COMMENT NOW. MY NAME'S TRICK.

KINDER. I'M JUST CALLING A CALL ON SUING, SAY, I'M NOT GOING TO FOCUS ON THE VAST LIBRARY OF INFORMATION SHOWING COVID POSES LITTLE RISK TO CHILDREN. METAL AND PROVIDE SOME HOPEFULLY USEFUL CONTEXT THAT THE BOARD CAN USE WHEN MAKING THIS DECISION, SO I'M A FINANCIAL PLANNER, FINANCIAL PLANNING FIRM. AND SERVED AS A MILITARY OFFICER. PREVIOUS TO THAT, SO PROBABLY THE BIGGEST THING THAT I DO. TO TRY TO ASSESS RISK MANAGEMENT. AND TO DO THAT, YOU HAVE TO HAVE SEVERAL DIFFERENT INPUTS. UH, NOT JUST WANT TO PUT BUT NUMEROUS. I WANT TO REMIND THE BOARD AND THE SUPERINTENDENT. AT THE CDC IS MERELY OFFERING GUIDANCE. IT'S NOT LAW, NOT A MANDATE DESTROYED IT. IT SHOULD BE ONE PIECE. OF YOUR DECISION, MAJOR SO. THE OTHER THINGS I THINK YOU NEED TO LOOK AT IS WHAT SCHOOLS AROUND THE COUNTRY DID NOT HAVE MASK MANDATES DURING 2020. LOOK AT THOSE SCHOOLS. AND WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO FIND IS THAT THERE WAS NO WORSE OUTCOMES IN THEIR COMMUNITIES AND SCHOOLS THAT WERE VIRTUAL OR HAD MAN MANDATED MASK TOO. LOOK AT THE OTHER COUNTRIES. THERE ARE NO OTHER COUNTRIES RIGHT NOW THAT ARE GOING TO MANDATE MASS FOR CHILDREN AT SCHOOL. NONE. THIRD. I'D LIKE TO SEE. FOCUS MORE ON OPTIONS FOR STERILIZING ENVIRONMENT ABOUT FORCING MASK AND THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN. YOU COULD HAVE ORGANIZATION SYSTEMS. IT WENT TOO DARK SYSTEMS. YOU COULD HAVE UV SAND LIGHTS THAT CAN BE EASILY INSTALLED IN CLASSROOMS, BOTH A LOW COST WAY APPEAR HIGH. THE AIR. WORTH, I WOULD LOOK AT THE TOTAL RISK FOR CHILDREN AND PERSONNEL, NOT JUST THE COVID RISKS. WE'RE NOT LOOKING AT ANY OTHER KIND OF HEALTH RISK. OR MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES THAT COULD BE ASSOCIATED WITH A MASS. YOU HAVE TO INCLUDE THAT IN THE CALCULATION. THE OTHER BIG THING WITH MY PLANNING. PRACTICE. AND ALL MY RISK AND COMPLIANCE PLANTS. I HAVE CONTINGENCY. THE PLANS AREN'T IMPLEMENTED UNTIL CONTINGENCY METRICS ARE REACHED. IT SEEMS OF PRUDENT PATH IS TO GO WITH FAST IT, MARK. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING. YOU ARE NOW ON THE BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING BEFORE YOU BEGIN YOUR PUBLIC COMMENT, PLEASE STATE YOUR FIRST AND LAST NAME. YOUR TIME WILL CONCLUDE IN TWO MINUTES.

I'M FROM THE SATURDAY NEIGHBORHOOD. THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO LISTEN TO MY FEEDBACK ON THE REDISTRICTING FOR MH FOUR. MY MOTHER, JUST THREE SONS OF THE HARFORD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

PLEASE TAKE THIS PROCESS SLOWER. WE ARE STILL UNDER PRIVATE LIMITATIONS AND NEED TO FOCUS. ON ADAPTING FOR EDUCATION ENVIRONMENT TO THIS PANDEMIC, MAXIMUM ENERGY AND RESOURCES NEED TO BE THERE. WE DON'T KNOW IF THE CURRENT PLAN IS SUSTAINABLE. WE ARE IN A PANDEMIC. CONSIDER ALL THE FINISH EXISTS IN PERSON. PRIVATE AND ALL THE UNKNOWN WITH THE ENROLLMENT. THIS DATA IS CHANGING. ON A PERSONAL NOTE. WE RELOCATED IN 2000 AND EIGHT AS A RESULT OF BREATH. WE CHOSE TO SCHOOL AND OUR PROXIMITY TO ENSURE SAFE TRAVELS TO AND FROM WE REALLY RELOCATED. AS A RESULT. THE FIRST FRACK WAYS TO KEEP OUR KIDS IN THE SAME SCHOOL FOR THEIR FULL EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE. WE HOPE OUR MIDDLE SON DOES NOT HAVE TO TRANSFER HIS SENIOR YEAR. IS ACTIVE IN BAND, AND IT MAKES SENSE FOR HIM TO STAY HAVE THREE ACTIVE YEARS AND MARCHING BANDS, BUT THE SAME GROUPS, UM FOR ALL THOSE YEARS. IF YOU CANNOT DELAY, PLEASE MITIGATE THE NUMBER OF FAMILIES IMPACTED. THE BUS AND THE PATERSON MILL, HIGH SCHOOL AND MIDDLE SCHOOLS.

GOOD EVENING. YOU ARE NOW ON THE BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING BEFORE YOU BEGIN YOUR PUBLIC COMMENT, PLEASE STATE YOUR FIRST AND LAST NAME. YOUR TIME WILL CONCLUDE IN TWO MINUTES.

YOU WILL HEAR A BELL RING WHEN YOU HAVE 30 SECONDS REMAINING, PLEASE INTRODUCE YOURSELF AND YOU MAY BEGIN YOUR PUBLIC COMMENT NOW. DO YOU THINK I'M MEGAN PERKINS AND I LIVE COMPUTER DAY FIRST, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE BOARD FOR DECISIONS THAT WILL HOPEFULLY LEAD TO SAFELY OPENING SCHOOLS. FIVE DAYS A WEEK. OUR CHILDREN CANNOT AFFORD ANOTHER YEAR PROMOTE LEARNING. IF MASK WILL HELP THAT HAPPEN, THEN I FULLY SUPPORT IT. I KNOW PEOPLE WANT TO HEAD OTHER TOPICS TONIGHT, BUT I DON'T WANT OUR NEIGHBORHOOD STRUGGLE WITH THE REDISTRICTING SITUATION TO GET LOST IN THE SHUFFLE, AS MANY WERE NOT ABLE TO GET A THOUGHT HAVE THEIR VOICES HEARD. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW YOU'RE SO FAR DOWN THE THROAT AND THE DECISION TO MOVE BETTER DAY. I MEAN, JUST FOR TO SOUTHAMPTON FELTON, RIGHT. IT'S STILL EVEN BEING CONSIDERED. I TRULY THOUGHT HAVING SENSE AVAIL THAT I DOESN'T SEEM TO BE THE CASE.

I WOULD INVITE THE BOARD MEMBERS. DR BOLTON COME TO MY HOME AND DRIVE THESE BEST GROUNDS AT RUSH HOUR AND THE REVERSED IN THE BUSY AFTERNOON, THEN DO THE SAME PATTERSON MILL AND TELL ME HOW THIS MOVE FOUR TIMES FARTHER, MAKES ANY LOGICAL SENSE. ME IF YOU WOULD MIND YOUR OWN TEAM DRIVERS SPEAKING THAT TRACK. NOW I HEAR NEIGHBORHOODS ALONG HILL ROAD SIGNIFICANTLY CLOSER TO THESE NEW SCHOOLS ARE BEING WRAPPED BACK PATTERN SELF, YET WE HAVE EXPLOSIVES. THE PATERSON THEM ARE STILL BEING FORCED TO MOVE. YOU LITERALLY CLASS THEIR BUSES GOING AFTER THE DRESS. I UNDERSTAND WE HAVE A LARGER NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT AND STUDENTS MOVED BACK HERE IN 20 STUDENTS. THEY'RE ADULTS AREN'T AND THE CLOSEST THAT WOULD MEAN.

DEFINITELY MY UNDERSTANDING IS PATERSON L HAS THE HIGHEST NUMBERS FOUNDRY EXCEPTIONS IN THE COUNTY. HOW IS THAT FAIR SIGNIFICANTLY CLOSE YOUR PAST THE MONEY RELOCATED, WELL, BOUNDARY STEPPED SEEMS ONLY THE ASSYRIANS ACID. IN FACT. MY CHILDREN WILL. NO, NO WHEN WELL TRANSITIONING ESSENTIALLY ALONE. I WAS THAT THAT SIMPLE SENT ALSO MOVE THEM TO OTHER SCHOOLS ESSENTIALLY CAPACITY. THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM. I AM 42 REALISTIC PROPOSAL. WHICH IS IN DIRECT CONFLICT WITH THE GUIDING PRINCIPLES IT IS CAUSING AND DO STUFF AND CHILDREN, PARENTS AND OUR ENTIRE COMMUNITY. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING. YOU ARE NOW ON THE BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING BEFORE YOU BEGIN YOUR PUBLIC COMMENT, PLEASE STATE YOUR FIRST AND LAST NAME. YOUR TIME WILL CONCLUDE IN TWO MINUTES. YOU WILL HEAR A BELL RING WHEN YOU HAVE 30 SECONDS REMAINING, PLEASE INTRODUCE YOURSELF AND YOU MAY BEGIN YOUR PUBLIC

[02:05:01]

WHERE I COULD ALSO JUST HAVE MY OLDER CHILDREN BIKE HOME IS NEEDED, WHICH WOULD RESULT IN A TOTAL OF ZERO MINUTES IN THE CAR PICKING UP MY CHILDREN ON DAYS THEY PARTICIPATE IN AFTER SCHOOL ACTIVITIES. THIS WOULDN'T EVEN BE AN OPTION FOR US AT THE POST SCHOOLS. AS A MOTHER OF THREE WITH A HUSBAND WHO WORKS 40 MINUTES AWAY. THE AFTER SCHOOL SHUFFLE FALL SOLELY ON ME. SO YEAH, ADDING ANYWHERE FROM 20 TO 35 MINUTES TO MY DAY IS A BIG DEAL. THIS PLAN MAY BE CONVENIENT FOR HCPS NUMBERS NOW, BUT IT DEFINITELY IS NOT CONVENIENT FOR THE FAMILIES LIVING IN MH FOUR AND WE'LL ABSOLUTELY LEAD TO ADDED STRESS FOR PARENTS AND STUDENTS. URGED THE BOARD TO KEEP IN MIND THE OVERALL WELL BEING OF HER FAMILY'S AND PLEASE RECONSIDER REDISTRICTING MHS FLOOR THE FURTHEST BEL AIR, CENTRAL SOUTH NEIGHBORHOODS FROM SOUTHAMPTON AND C MILTON RIGHTS AND PLEASE KEEP US AT OUR CURRENT COMMUNITY SCHOOL OF PATTERSON MILL. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING. YOU ARE NOW ON THE BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING BEFORE YOU BEGIN YOUR PUBLIC COMMENT, PLEASE STATE YOUR FIRST AND LAST NAME. YOUR TIME WILL CONCLUDE IN TWO MINUTES. YOU WILL HEAR A BELL RING WHEN YOU HAVE 30 SECONDS REMAINING, PLEASE INTRODUCE YOURSELF AND YOU MAY BEGIN YOUR PUBLIC COMMENT NOW. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS LAURA KARR. CANUTO THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK DURING THIS CHALLENGING YEAR.

MY HUSBAND AND I ARE PARENTS ARE TOO HARD FOR COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS. I AM ALSO THE PROUD PITA PRESIDENT AT OUR SCHOOL. I HAVE SPENT MANY VOLUNTEER HOURS WORKING HARD TO HELP BUILD A STRONG FOR COMMUNITY. THAT SENSE OF COMMUNITY IS BEING CHALLENGED BY PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE C W ONE AND CW 10 NEIGHBORHOOD BASED ON THE MOST RECENTLY PROPOSED PLANS FOR BALANCING INVOLVEMENT. WE ARE STRONGLY OPPOSED THE CHANGES BEING SUGGESTED. PARTICULARLY ON THE HEELS OF SO MUCH UPHEAVAL DUE TO THE COVID 19 PANDEMIC. OUR CURRENT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL FOURTH LAKE IS LOOKING AT ONLY 2.8 MILES FROM OUR HOME. THE CHANGE WOULD SEND US TWICE THAT FAR TOO. JARRETTSVILLE ELEMENTARY OUR CURRENT MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOLS BOSTON OR LESS THAN FIVE MILES AWAY. THE CHANGE WOULD SEND US NORTH HARFORD, WHICH IS 13 MILES AWAY. OUR CURRENT SCHOOL FOURTH LAKES IS NOT A FEEDER SCHOOL INTO NORTH HARFORD. THEREFORE ARCHITECTS WILL BE REDISTRICTED TO AN AREA WHERE THEY KNOW NO OTHER STUDENTS. WE FEEL STRONGLY THAT A SENSE OF BELONGING AND COMMUNITY IS CRUCIAL IN THEIR DEVELOPMENT. ANOTHER HUGE CONCERN RELATES TO WHAT WILL BE AN EXTREMELY LENGTHY BUS RIDE. THERE IS NO FEASIBLE WAY THAT THE RIDE WILL MEET THE 45 MINUTES OR LESS CRITERIA THAT YOU HAVE SET FORTH. THE LENGTHY BUS RIDE WILL CAUSE GREAT CHALLENGES IF OUR CHILDREN WISH TO PURSUE EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY. WE BELIEVE THESE ACTIVITIES ARE CRUCIAL FOR THEIR PHYSICAL AND MENTAL WELL BEING. WE ARE PART OF THE FALSE THE COMMUNITY. VOTE IN FALSE AND DISTRICT THESE WE RELY ON THE FALSE THE VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT FOR EMERGENCIES. WE BORROW BOOKS FROM THE BOSTON LIBRARY. WE PLAY FALSE AND REC SPORTS, AND WE HAVE FRIENDS AT THE POST AND SWIM CLUBS. MANY OF US PLAN TO SPEAK IN PERSON THIS EVENING, BUT LEFT WHEN THE SITUATION ESCALATED AND BECAME ON STATE.

THEREFORE, WE WERE UNABLE TO PRESENT OUR VISUAL AIDS. WE BELIEVE OUR MAP WHICH SAID LIGHT ON JUST HOW BIG A DRASTIC THIS MOVE IS. OUR STUDENTS. WE HAVE MORE THAN 400 PEOPLE WHO HAVE SIGNED A PETITION AND WE RESPECTFULLY ASK YOU ALLOW US TO REMAIN AT OUR CURRENCY.

CHANGE DOES NOT MAKE SENSE AND DOES NOT BENEFIT OUR CHILDREN. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME THIS EVENING. GOOD EVENING. YOU ARE NOW IN THE BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING BEFORE YOU BEGIN YOUR PUBLIC COMMENT, PLEASE STATE YOUR FIRST AND LAST NAME. YOUR TIME WILL CONCLUDE IN TWO MINUTES. YOU WILL HEAR A BELL RING WHEN YOU HAVE 30 SECONDS REMAINING, PLEASE INTRODUCE YOURSELF AND YOU MAY BEGIN YOUR PUBLIC COMMENT NOW. MY NAME IS TONY HELEN ON THE PARENTS OF THREE STUDENTS AND HARFORD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOL. NO ONE WANTS US TO GO BACK TO VIRTUE ALONE. OUR KIDS LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT DEPENDS ON THEM BEING IN THE CLASSROOM WITH THEIR FEARS AND THEIR TEACHERS PARAMOUNT TO THEIR SUCCESS. HOWEVER, COVID IS STILL A MAJOR THREAT TO USE FOR THEM REMAIN IN THE CLASSROOM FOR THE UPCOMING SCHOOL HERE. THANK YOU, DR BOLTON AND HIGHER BOARD OF EDUCATION FOR TAKING A THREAT, THIS STEP TO INCREASE THE ODDS

[02:10:01]

BECAME KNOWN AS SACRIFICING FOR TOM GOOD, AND WITH ONE OF THE REASONS THEY ARE THE RIGHT TO BE CALLED THE GREATEST GENERATION. ANYONE THAT IT CREATES WEARING A MASK WITH AN ASSAULT ON FREEDOM. WHAT DO YOU TELL YOUR PARENTS OR YOUR GRANDPARENTS? REALLY HAD THEIR FREEDOMS CURTAILED DURING WORLD WAR TWO AND THE SACRIFICES THEY NEED TO FIGHT. AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL 100% KIDS RUN VACCINE. IT IS NOT BY CHOICE OR DECISION THERE AT LEAST PROTECTED POPULATIONS SHOULD VACCINE NOTHING AN OPTION FOR THE APPEARANCE. THE RESULTS IN OTHER STATES. HOW BACK TO SCHOOL WITHOUT NOW. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE IN PARK ST ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE EITHER APPROACH, SO IT AS OUR FOUNDING FATHERS INTENDED AS OUR PARENTS AND GRANDFATHER'S POST THEIR STRUGGLES DURING WORLD WAR TWO. OR AS ONE NATION WORKING TOGETHER, MAKE SMALL SACRIFICES OR WE WILL LOSE THE FIGHT TOGETHER AS ONE NATION.

GOOD EVENING. YOU ARE NOW ON THE BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING BEFORE YOU BEGIN YOUR PUBLIC COMMENT, PLEASE STATE YOUR FIRST AND LAST NAME. YOUR TIME WILL CONCLUDE IN TWO MINUTES.

YOU WILL HEAR A BELL RING WHEN YOU HAVE 30 SECONDS REMAINING, PLEASE INTRODUCE YOURSELF AND YOU MAY BEGIN YOUR PUBLIC COMMENT NOW. UM MY NAME. IS HE ALL I HAVE. IT SEEMED TO BENEFIT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND I WILL BE BRIEF. I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU. THANK THE BOARD FOR REQUIRING THEM TO SCHOOLS THIS FALL. I KNOW THAT. YOU'VE HEARD FROM MANY PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY TONIGHT. YOU WERE OPPOSED TO IT. PLEASE KNOW THAT MANY OF US ARE SO RELEASED. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN UNDER 12 WHO ARE UNABLE TO BE VACCINATED. AND WAS SERIOUSLY CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR HEALTH. UM IT'S CLEAR IF WE'RE CLASSMATES OR UNMASKED SINCE WE KNOW THAT LAST PROTESTS. THERE IS MORE THAN A PROTEST OURSELVES. UM I AND MANY OTHERS WHO MIGHT NOT BE AS VOCAL REALLY APPRECIATE THAT THE BOARD IS TAKING AN EVIDENCE BASED APPROACH. AND FOLLOWING THE GUIDANCE OF REPUTABLE RESEARCH BASED. ORGANIZATIONS LIKE THE CDC AND THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS. UM AND I JUST HOPE THAT. REQUIRING MASKS WILL ALLOW OUR STUDENTS SUSTAINED SCHOOL AND HAVE A CLOSE TO NORMAL SCHOOL YEAR. AND I AND MY FRIENDS FAMILY. THANK YOU FOR TAKING STEPS TO KEEP OUR KIDS SAFE. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING. YOU ARE NOW ON THE BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING BEFORE YOU BEGIN YOUR PUBLIC COMMENT, PLEASE STATE YOUR FIRST AND LAST NAME. YOUR TIME WILL CONCLUDE IN TWO MINUTES.

YOU WILL HEAR A BELL RING WHEN YOU HAVE 30 SECONDS REMAINING, PLEASE INTRODUCE YOURSELF AND YOU MAY BEGIN YOUR PUBLIC COMMENT NOW. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS CINDY POP CYNTHIA PROPER. NIGHT. I WILL SPEAK FOR EDUCATORS AND PARENTS AND MYSELF FOR THOSE WHO CANNOT OR WILL NOT, OR ARE AFRAID TO SPEAK UP. THANK YOU, DOCTOR, BOLSON, HCPS AND THE BOARD OF ED FOR THE MASK MANDATE FOR THIS COMING SCHOOL YEAR. WE APPRECIATE YOUR DOING WHATEVER IT TAKES TO KEEP OUR STUDENTS AND STAFF SAFE. THANK YOU FOR PROTECTING THE MANY AND NOT.

BOUND TO THE SELFISH HUGH. MOST EDUCATORS AND PARENTS ARE WILLING TO MASK UP TO PROTECT THOSE THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO US. WE DON'T WANT A SINGLE CHILD TO HAVE TO EXPERIENCE COVID OR ITS LONG TERM AFTER EFFECT. WE WANT OUR CHILDREN IN SCHOOL. NO EDUCATOR I KNOW WANTS TO GO BACK TO HYBRID OR VIRTUAL THIS YEAR. WE WILL DO WHATEVER WE CAN SUPPORT THE LEADERSHIP OF HCPS IN ANY WAY AND IN ALL EFFORT, KEEP OUR SCHOOLS OPEN FIVE DAYS A WEEK FOR ALL OUR KIDS. THANK YOU AGAIN FOR PROTECTING OUR KIDS AND OUR STAFF AND OUR SCHOOLS. IF IT MEANS THAT OUR SCHOOLS WILL STAY OPEN FIVE DAYS A WEEK, I WILL QUOTE FELLOW EDUCATOR.

I'LL SLEEP IN THE MAP. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING. YOU ARE NOW ON THE BOARD OF EDUCATION

[02:15:04]

I TOO, WAS VERY HOPEFUL BACK IN JUNE THAT THE SCHOOL YEAR WOULD BE A MUCH MORE NORMAL YEAR, BUT UNFORTUNATELY, COVID HAD OTHER PLANS. COME HERE THIS EVENING TO THANK YOU FOR FOLLOWING THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS GUIDELINES AND MANDATING MASK IN SCHOOLS. I KNOW THAT NO ONE INTERVENTION IS PERFECT, BUT MASTER SAFE AND DO HELP SLOW THE SPREAD OF COVID. WE HAVE THE BENEFIT OF OUR SCHOOL. YOU'RE STARTING LATER AND WE CAN SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING IN SCHOOLS ABOUT MATH. THEY ARE HAVING TO CLOSE AND GO VIRTUAL DUE TO THE HIGH NUMBER OF COVID KEEP IT. THANK YOU FOR TRYING TO PROTECT OUR COMMUNITY. GOOD EVENING. YOU ARE NOW ON THE BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING BEFORE YOU BEGIN YOUR PUBLIC COMMENT, PLEASE STATE YOUR FIRST AND LAST NAME. YOUR TIME WILL CONCLUDE IN TWO MINUTES. YOU WILL HEAR A BELL RING WHEN YOU HAVE 30 SECONDS REMAINING. PLEASE INTRODUCE YOURSELF AND YOU MAY BEGIN YOUR PUBLIC COMMENT NOW. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS HEATHER REID AND I'M A RESIDENT OF THIS THEATER DAY COMMUNITY CURRENTLY HAVE THREE CHILDREN IN HARFORD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS. I'M HERE TO EXPRESS MY CONCERN ABOUT THE PROPOSED MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL REDISTRICTING PLANS. THE CURRENT PROPOSALS OF STUDENTS OUT OF OUR CURRENT COMMUNITY AT PATTERSON MILL AND MOVES US TO SOUTHAMPTON AND C. MILTON WRIGHT. THEATRE DAY COMMUNITY IS LESS THAN TWO MILES FROM PATTERSON MILL. AND WITH THE PROPOSED CHANGE THE FEMALE THAT WE WOULD BE OVER SEVEN MILES FROM OUR SCHOOL. AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, TRANSFERRED OUT OF US TRANSFERRED TO A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES. IN RECENT WEEKS HAS BECOME KNOWN THAT UPDATED MATH SHOW OR OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS ALONG THE WHEEL ROAD CORRIDOR THAT ARE MUCH CLOSER TO FEMALE IN SOUTHAMPTON AND ORIGINALLY SLATED TO MOVE TO THESE SCHOOLS HAVE BEEN ALLOWED TO NOW STAY OF PATERSON MILK. NEIGHBORHOODS THAT ARE CLOSER TO THE SCHOOLS WILL NOW REMAIN AT PATTERSON MILLS AND OUR KIDS WILL TRAVEL AND OUR KIDS WILL TRAVEL SEVERAL MILES IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. HAS THESE NEIGHBORHOODS FOR NEW SCHOOLS? IT IS COMPLETELY OUT OF THEIR CURRENT COMMUNITY. AS WE'VE NOTED IN PREVIOUS MEETINGS, PATTERSON MILL HIGH IS ACTUALLY NOT OVERCROWDED.

NOR IS IT PROJECTED TO BE OVERCROWDED IN THE FUTURE. AND IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL IS ONLY OVER BY A SMALL NUMBER THAT COULD BE SOLVED BY RE EXAMINING CURRENT BOUNDARY EXPRESSION.

I'M ASKING THE BOARD AND OTHER LEADERS AND HARPER TALENT SLOW THIS REDISTRICTING PROCESS DOWN. HERE IN THE MIDDLE OF A PANDEMIC AND THE CHANGES THAT ARE BEING PROPOSED WITH DATA THAT IS CONSTANTLY CHANGING BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC CANNOT BE IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF OUR CHILDREN AND THEIR FUTURE. LET'S FOCUS ON GETTING OUR KIDS THROUGH THIS PANDEMIC IN THEIR CURRENT SCHOOL, STUDYING FLORRIE. MAKE RADICAL SHIFTS AND BOUNDARY LINES AND FORCED THEM TO GO THROUGH YET ANOTHER MAJOR TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE. FINALLY IN CLOSING. I JUST LIKE TO SINCERELY THANK YOU FOR PROTECTING OUR CHILDREN ARE TEACHERS IN OUR COMMUNITY. I SUPPORT THEM MATH MENDED. MY KIDS SUPPORT THE MANDATE AS IT ALLOWS THEM TO GO TO SCHOOL.

THEY WERE THEIR FRIENDS AND TEACHERS AND HELPS PROTECT MY TWO YOUNGEST GIRLS WHO CANNOT GET VACCINATED. BUT THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING. YOU ARE NOW ON THE BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING BEFORE YOU BEGIN YOUR PUBLIC COMMENT. PLEASE GET YOUR FIRST AND LAST NAME. YOUR TIME WILL CONCLUDE IN TWO MINUTES. YOU WILL HEAR A BELL RING WHEN YOU HAVE 30 SECONDS REMAINING.

PLEASE INTRODUCE YOURSELF AND YOU MAY BEGIN YOUR PUBLIC COMMENT NOW. NUMBER ENDING IN 2689. IF YOU CAN HEAR US, PLEASE LET US KNOW. YOU CAN'T HEAR US, YOU MAY BE ON MUTE AND MAY NEED TO DIAL STAR SIX. NUMBER ENDING IN 2689. LET'S TRY ONE MORE TIME. WE CANNOT HEAR YOU ON OUR END.

GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS AMANDA BOSLEY SMITH. I CAME HERE THIS EVENING WITH THE INTENT OF

[02:20:05]

PARENTS. I IMPLORE YOU TO UN ENROLL YOUR CHILDREN FROM THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM. MASS. NON IS THE ONLY WAY AND THIS NIGHTMARE. YOUR CHILDREN WILL BE MUZZLED PLEXI GLASS AND DISTANCE. THIS IS A FORM OF MUNCHAUSEN SYNDROME BY PROXY, WHICH IS PUNISHABLE BY LAW. UP THE MENTAL AND PHYSICAL ABUSE OF TREATING HEALTHY KIDS AS THOUGH THEY ARE SICK. THIS IS NOT ONLY RIDICULOUS, IT'S DOWNRIGHT INHUMANE WHEN WE THE PARENTS ARE IGNORED AND SILENCE. OUR RESPONSE MUST BE STEPHANIE. FOR YOUR KIDS TO THE FUNDING IF YOU CONTINUE TO COMPLY, THE SHUTDOWNS WILL CONTINUE. THE MASKING WILL NEVER GO AWAY. FREEDOMS WILL BE SO FAR FROM NORMAL. YOUR KIDS WON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS. STAND UP AND SPEAK UP BECAUSE YOUR CHILDREN ARE WATCHING. THIS MAY BE A HUGE PERSONAL SACRIFICE SACRIFICE OF INCOME SACRIFICE OF JOB SECURITY. SACRIFICE OF ALONE TIME. SURE, YOU MUST STOP THE SACRIFICE OF OUR CHILDREN SINCE UN ENROLLING MY INCOMING KINDERGARTEN STUDENT FROM HARFORD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS, I HAVE DISCOVERED AN AMAZINGLY DIVERSE AND ENRICHING HOME SCHOOL COMMUNITY IN HARFORD COUNTY. BOUNTIFUL RESOURCES ARE AVAILABLE AT YOUR FINGERTIPS NO LONGER CAN BE THE PARIS THAT FACT. WHILE THE GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS PARTY HEAT THE LIVES OF OUR CHILDREN. IN CONCLUSION TO THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR OPENING MY EYES TO THE REALIZATION THAT THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM HAS BECOME A DISGRACE, ONE OF WHICH WE REFUSED TO PARTICIPATE. GOOD EVENING. YOU ARE NOW ON THE BOARD OF EDUCATION READING BEFORE YOU BEGIN YOUR PUBLIC COMMENT, PLEASE STATE YOUR FIRST AND LAST NAME. YOUR TIME WILL CONCLUDE IN TWO MINUTES. YOU WILL HEAR A BELL RING WHEN YOU HAVE 30 SECONDS REMAINING, PLEASE INTRODUCE YOURSELF AND YOU MAY BEGIN YOUR PUBLIC COMMENT NOW. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS ROBIN LEAN AND I'M A RESIDENT OF THE TODAY I WAS ALSO THE PARENT REPRESENTATIVE.

PATTERSON MILL'S FOR BALANCING MOMENT BALANCING ENROLLMENT ADVISOR 18. I'VE SPENT COUNTLESS HOURS WORKING TO UNDERSTAND THE DATA MAKING RECOMMENDATIONS, UNDERSTANDING, IMPLICATIONS AND EDUCATING MANY STAKEHOLDERS IN THE COMMUNITY ABOUT THE PROCESS. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE ISSUES PRESENT WITH OVERCROWDING IN HARFORD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS TODAY AND SAW THAT FIRSTHAND, AS EVIDENCED BY MY DAUGHTER'S 24 CHILD IN THE GARDEN CLASS OR MY SON, 31 STUDENT FOR THREE CLASS LAST YEAR. I AM AWARE THAT NEW SCHOOLS AND ADDITIONS CANNOT BE ACCOMPLISHED OVERNIGHT. I ALSO UNDERSTAND. BUT OVER A DECADE OF LIMITATIONS ON CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS WERE ONLY ONE PROJECT CAN BE IN FLIGHT AT A TIME HAVE HELPED EXACERBATE THE CURRENT SITUATION. THIS MANAGEMENT HAS ALLOWED FOR PROBLEMS IN EXISTING SCHOOLS TO GET INCREASINGLY WORSE AND HAPPENED DURING A TIME A HUGE GROWTH IN THE COUNTY. HERE WE ARE TODAY. WELL, WE AREN'T PREPARED TO BUILD ANY NEW BUILDINGS OR ADDITIONS AND WE'RE TRYING TO SOLVE A NUMBER OF PROBLEMS. THE SOLUTION PUT FORTH HUSBAND TO SHUFFLE STUDENTS. IN SOME CASES, THE SOLUTION IS TAKING A NEIGHBORHOOD THAT HAS THE RIGHT NUMBER AND MOVING THEM REGARDLESS OF WHETHER IT'S STRATEGICALLY ALIGNED WITH THE GUIDING PRINCIPLES AS THE CASE WITH PETER GUYS. THE PROPOSAL IS MAKING THE NEIGHBORHOOD MOVED 2.5 TIMES FURTHER TO THE PROPOSED FOR ADDITIONAL THESE STUDENTS ARE COMING FROM THE LARGEST ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. UM, A COUNTY WILL BE ASKED TO JOIN A NEW COHORT OF STUDENTS. WITH A VERY LIMITED NUMBER OF EXISTING CLASSMATES. WE'RE ASKING THEM TO CROSS PATHS. ON THE BUS WITH FORMER CLASSMATES FURTHER TO UNUSEFUL COMMUNITY WHERE I ASKED HIM TO GO TO A NEW SCHOOL THAT IS EXPECTED TO STAY AT FULL CAPACITY, EVEN AFTER BOUNCING MOMENT IS COMPLETE IT. YOU'RE ASKING THEM TO INTRODUCE PEOPLE THAT IS NOT A LONG TERM, VIABLE SOLUTION THAT COULD QUICKLY NEED TO BE RE EVALUATED AND COST FURTHER CHANGE BEFORE THESE STUDENTS HAVE GRADUATED. SOLUTIONS NEED TO BE DEVELOPED. BUT DON'T TREAT STUDENTS IS JUST NUMBERS ARE THE WAY TO MEET ARBITRARY TARGETS. THEY DESERVE BETTER AND DESERVE VIABLE AND CREATE POLLUTION. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING. YOU ARE NOW ON THE BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING BEFORE YOU BEGIN YOUR PUBLIC COMMENT, PLEASE STATE YOUR FIRST AND LAST NAME. YOUR TIME WILL CONCLUDE IN TWO MINUTES.

[02:30:03]

IF MANDATED MASKS ARE JUST ONE STEP THAT ARE BOTH CAN TAKE SOME MITIGATE RISKS AND KEEP STUDENTS LEARNING IN PERSON, EVEN IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU MIGHT VIEW IS OVER THE TOP OR UNNECESSARY. PLEASE CONTINUE TO TAKE THE NECESSARY STUFF. THANK YOU. MM. GOOD EVENING. YOU ARE NOW IN THE BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING BEFORE YOU BEGIN YOUR PUBLIC COMMENT, PLEASE STATE YOUR FIRST AND LAST NAME. YOUR TIME WILL CONCLUDE IN TWO MINUTES. YOU WILL HEAR A BELL RING WHEN YOU HAVE 30 SECONDS REMAIN. PLEASE INTRODUCE YOURSELF AND YOU MAY BEGIN YOUR PUBLIC COMMENT NOW. THANK YOU. HELLO. MY NAME IS SARAH MALLORY AND I'D LIKE TO BEGIN BY APOLOGIZING FOR THE UGLINESS AND PUT SOMETHING LIKE VIOLENCE THAT MANY OF YOU EXPERIENCE THERE AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. I'M A MOTHER OF TWO CHILDREN WHO ATTEND RING FACTORY. AND BY VIRTUE OF THEIR AGE MEANT WITH NOT GET A VACCINE AND RELYING ON THE GOOD JUDGMENT OF ADULTS WHO LOVE AND SURROUND THEM. KEEP THEM WELL DURING THE COVID 19 PANDEMIC.

IT IS FOR THIS REASON THAT I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR EACH DPS DECISIONS REQUIRE MASKS AT THE START OF THE SCHOOL YEAR. BY FOLLOWING THE EVIDENCE BASED GUIDANCE OF THE CDC, AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS AND OTHER EXPERTS IN THE MEDICAL AND PUBLIC HEALTH COMMUNITIES SUCH AS THE SPEAKERS. HE SPOKE JUST BEFORE ME. WE ARE RELYING ON THE EXPERTISE OF THOSE WHO HAVE THE TRAINING AND FIELD EXPERIENCE. THE GUIDE OUR DECISION MAKING RATHER THAN THOSE WHO ARE POLITICAL MODIFICATION MOTIVATION ON THIS GUIDED INFORMATION. ONE ONLY NEEDS TO LOOK AT FLORIDA, MISSISSIPPI OR TEXAS THE SEE THE OUTCOME OF LEADERS WHO CHOSE TO IGNORE THE EXPERTISE, MEDICAL AND PUBLIC HEALTH COMMUNITIES, CHILDREN AND TEACHERS ARE DYING EVERY DAY. DISTRICT ARE SHUTTING DOWN AND I WANT MY CHILDREN IN SCHOOL.

UNIVERSAL MASKING IS A SYMBOL IMPROVING METHOD FOR PROTECTING YOUNG CHILDREN. INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE MEDICALLY VERY HONORABLE AND REALLY EVERYONE AND COVID 19 AND THE DETAILED, PRECARIOUS THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS DECISION FOR ALL OF US. DO HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO SPEAK UP.

THANK YOU. PRESIDENT CODY A. THE THREE NUMBERS REMAINING IN THE LOBBY ARE DUPLICATES FROM EARLIER THIS EVENING. I AM AND ALL THREE SPOKE.

[D. Update on Continuity of Learning, Dr. Sean Bulson, Superintendent of Schools, Dr. David Bishai, Harford County Health Officer]

[02:40:04]

THEY THEY ARE TRYING TO CHOOSE VACCINES, BUT THEY REALLY DO RELY ON THE REST OF US, PARTICULARLY THIS YOUNGER POPULATION BETWEEN 80 AND 39. TO KEEP THE VIRUS AT BAY.

OTHERWISE THEY THEY WILL BE VULNERABLE TO TRANSMISSION DESPITE HAVING MADE ALL THE CORRECT CHOICES. SO, AS I SAID HERE IN HARTFORD COUNTY, UH, WE'VE ALREADY SEEN 11 SCHOOL BASED OUTBREAKS IN MARYLAND OVER THE SUMMER. HARFORD COUNTY HAS HAD AT LEAST TWO SCHOOL, UM BASED OUTBREAKS AND MORE ARE COMING. I'M REMEMBER THE LESSONS OF LAST FALL WHEN IN PERSON INSTRUCTION WAS WAS STARTED AND HAD TO TERMINATE. THIS IS A WARNING TO US TO BE EXTRA CAUTIOUS BECAUSE WE'LL BE OPENING SCHOOLS DURING A SURGE IN THE PANDEMIC. I'D LIKE TO NOW TALK ABOUT QUESTION, TOO, ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MASS AND AGAIN I'M LOOKING AT THE SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN PEOPLE WEAR MASKS. FIRST EVIDENCE OF STUDIES WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE EITHER AT RISK OR EXERCISING. SO KNOWN. DIMINUTION OF THE OXYGEN LEVELS IN THE BLOOD. IT SIMPLY IS NOT TRUE THAT THE MASK IMPAIRS THE FLOW OF OXYGEN INTO THE BODY MASKED THAT WE'RE ALL WEARING HERE IN THIS ROOM MADE OF A SINGLE LAYER OF CLOTH OR PAPER. DO NOT IMPAIR THE FLOW OF OXYGEN, EVEN WITH PEOPLE USING EXERCISE. AS FAR AS THE THEORY THAT ONE IS RE BREATHING THEIR OWN EXHALED AIR. THAT'S NOT TRUE, EITHER.

WE CAN TELL THAT BECAUSE WHEN WE MEASURE THE CARBON DIOXIDE LEVELS OF PEOPLE WEARING MASKS.

WE SEE NO RISE IN CARBON DIOXIDE. NO EVIDENCE ON RE BREATHING USING THE TYPE OF MASS THAT ARE ORDINARY IN CIRCULATION. I WOULD ADVISE MEMBERS OF THE SCHOOL NURSING AND THE FACULTY TO BE ON LOOKOUT FOR VINYL. OR PLASTIC MATHS. THEY'RE VERY RARE. ONE WOULDN'T ORDINARILY SEE THEM, BUT THEY'RE NOT SAFE AND THEY SHOULD BE DISCOURAGED. MASKS ARE SHOWN TO WORSEN ACNE AND DERMATITIS, AND THIS MIGHT BE A PROBLEM FOR CHILDREN WHO ARE VERY SENSITIVE ABOUT THEIR SKIN AND COMPLEXION AND MASS WILL MAKE THAT WORSE. THAT'S SCIENTIFICALLY KNOWN. WE'LL HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MORE ACNE AND DERMATITIS. NASA SHOULD NOT BE WORN UNDER AGE TWO, AND THERE ARE MASKS THAT ARE DESIGNED FOR ADULTS THAT SHOULD NOT BE WORN BY CHILDREN. WE HAVE TO BE AWARE OF THAT AND WORK ON THAT. UM THERE'S A HYPOTHESIS THAT CHILDREN'S LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT WILL BE IMPAIRED BY THE USE OF MATHS, HOWEVER, IS THE PEDIATRICIAN. I KNOW THAT MOST LANGUAGE ACQUISITION THE VALVES AND THE CONTINENTS OF A CHILD. ARE REQUIRED BETWEEN AGES SIX MONTHS AND FOUR YEARS AND MOST LANGUAGES FULLY ACQUIRED BY THE TIME A CHILD STARTS KINDERGARTEN. THERE IS EVIDENCE THAT BLIND CHILDREN WHO ARE BLIND FROM BIRTH, ACQUIRE SPEECH AND LANGUAGE AT THE SAME EXACT RATE AS FULLY SIGHTED CHILDREN SHOWING THAT WE DO NOT NEED TO SEE THE MOUTH AND LIPS.

IN ORDER TO LEARN HOW TO SPEAK. UM THERE'S A STUDY OF CHILDREN'S ABILITY TO RECOGNIZE EMOTIONAL EXPRESSIONS ON IMAGES OF PEOPLE WHERE THEIR EYES ARE COVERED OR THEIR FACES COVERED.

CHILDREN CAN ACTUALLY RECOGNIZE THE MOTION, MOSTLY BY LOOKING AT THE EYES AND NOT AT THE MOUTH AND LIPS. CHILDREN ARE GETTING THEIR EMOTIONAL CUES FROM THE EYES. WE DO NEED MORE STUDIES OF THIS AND. AS AS THIS LITERATURE DEVELOPS, GLADLY SHARE IT WITH YOU. OKAY, THE THIRD AND MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION. RELATES TO THE SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE THAT MATHS ARE EFFECTIVE AND THE WAY WE GAIN EVIDENCE THAT THIS IS WATCHING THE FLOW OF COVID THROUGH PRIMARY CASES TO CONTACTS AND THEN THE SECONDARY CASES. THE NUMBER TO WATCH HERE IS CALLED THE SECONDARY ATTACK RATE. THIS IS THE RATE AT WHICH A CONTACT WILL, UH, SPREAD. UH COVID TO THE SECONDARY CASES. THE SECONDARY ATTACK RATE IS THE NUMBER OF SECONDARY CASES.

UM PER CONTACT. SO EVERYBODY WHO HAS BEEN EXPOSED TO A COVID CASE WE PUT THEM ON, UH,

[02:45:02]

WE FOUND THAT INSTEAD OF THE INCIDENTS BEING LIKE THE COMMUNITY RATE OF 51 TO 71 CASES PER DAY, WHICH IS WHERE HARFORD COUNTY IS RIGHT NOW. INSIDE THE SCHOOLS. THE INCIDENTS WAS 0.57 400,001 TIMES LOWER THAN THE COMMUNITY RATE. MISSOURI WHEN THEY HAD MATHS IN THE SCHOOLS. THE CHILD WITH NOWHERE SAFER THAN BEING IN THE SCHOOL. IT WOULD BE MORE DANGEROUS FOR A CHILD TO BE OUT AND ABOUT WITH THEIR PARENTS THAN TO BE IN THE SAFETY OF UNIVERSALLY MATH SCHOOL, ACCORDING TO THE MISSOURI STUDY, BUT IT'S NOT JUST ONE STUDY. OTHER STUDIES OF THE ATTACK RATE IN SCHOOLS WITH THE UNIVERSAL MASKING ARE AVAILABLE. POINTING TO SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH. WE HAD 20 SCHOOLS. AGAIN STUDIED THE SECONDARY ATTACK RATE IN THE UTAH SALT LAKE CITY SCHOOLS. AND THEY FOUND A SECONDARY ATTACK RATE OF 0.4% NOT 18.6% 0.4% SECONDARY ATTACK RATE. THAT'S WHAT YOU CAN GET WITH UNIVERSAL MASKING POLICIES. THERE ARE MORE STUDIES ON THAT SHOW AND LOWER INCIDENCE OF COVID IN FULLY MASS SCHOOLS. I JUST POINT TO JUST A FEW MORE TO SHOW YOU WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT. HERE IS WOOD COUNTY, WISCONSIN, WHERE THEY LOOKED AT 17 SCHOOLS WITH UNIVERSAL MASKING AND THEY CHECKED. YOU KNOW WHERE THEY ACTUALLY DOING THE MATH, AND THEY FOUND THAT NO 8% OF STUDENTS WOULD NOT USE THE MASS. I WANT TO SHOW YOU THE PICTURE THAT SHOWS THAT.

THE CASE HAS SPREAD IN SCHOOL WERE JUST SEVEN CASES OVER THE ENTIRE TWO MONTHS OF OBSERVATION. SO YOU SEE AT THE TOP IS THE COMMUNITY RATE RISING OVER THE COURSE FROM AUGUST TO NOVEMBER, KIND OF LIKE WHAT WE HAD HERE IN HARTFORD COUNTY. THE BLUE DOTTED LINE IS 37% LOWER OF THE TOTAL IN SCHOOL CASES, BUT MOST OF THE IN SCHOOL CASES MOST OF THE SCHOOL CHILD CASES. WE'RE NOT ACQUIRED IN THE SCHOOL. THEY WERE REQUIRED FROM CHILDREN AT HOME AT FAMILY GATHERINGS. THE IN SCHOOLS CASES IN THESE UNIVERSALLY MASKED SCHOOLS OF WOOD COUNTY, WISCONSIN, ONLY SEVEN OF THEM. BECAUSE OF UNIVERSAL MASKING.

THAT'S A GREAT REASON TO RECOMMEND UNIVERSAL MASKING TO TRY TO GET THIS LEVEL OF PROTECTION. FINALLY STATE OF FLORIDA, UH, THEIR WHOLE STATE WITH SORT OF MIXED ON WHETHER

[02:50:06]

AND OTHER PLACES. AND IF IT DOES WORK, IF MASKS ARE REALLY IN EFFECT, IT WILL KNOW WE'LL SEE. GEORGIA AND FLORIDA WILL SEE HALF OF THE COUNTIES IN MARYLAND TRY TO GO UNMASKED OR MASKED BY CHOICE. AND MAYBE MAYBE IT'LL WORK. I WILL TELL YOU. IF IT DOES WORK. I'LL BE BACK HERE TO SAY HEY, GUESS WHAT? CARROLL COUNTY. IT WORKS. YOU CAN DO IT. BUT IF IT DOESN'T WORK, WE'LL KNOW AND WE'LL HAVE TO LEARN FROM FROM WHAT THEY'RE DOING. I'M I'M JUST SAYING THAT WE'RE OPEN MINDED ABOUT MATH BECAUSE IT DOES CAUSE ACNE AND THAT'S CALLED DERMATITIS. AND YOU KNOW IT. UH, I'D RATHER YOU KNOW IT'S CAUSING DISCOMFORT IF NOTHING ELSE. SO. I JUST WANT TO FINISH OFF BY REMINDING YOU THAT AS A DOCTOR, I NEVER INSIST THAT THAT ANYBODY MUST TAKE MY ADVICE. I ONLY OFFER YOU THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION.

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO AVOID DISEASE? AND I'VE TOLD YOU THAT ACCORDING TO ALL THE DATA THAT I LOOKED AT THE BEST WAY TO AVOID DISEASE AND KEEP THE SCHOOLS OPEN, AND THE CHILDREN AND THE FACULTY SAFE. IS TO INCLUDE UNIVERSAL MASKING, THAT'S THE EVIDENCE AS OF NOW, YOU DON'T HAVE TO TAKE MY ADVICE ON BUT I REALLY HOPE THAT YOU DO BECAUSE I CARE ABOUT THE CHILDREN HERE IN HARTFORD COUNTY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, DOCTOR. BUT SHE. I'M GONNA OPEN IT UP TO QUESTIONS JUST IN CASE ANYONE HAS ANY, MR CARTY. GOING TO PASS RIGHT NOW.

THANK YOU, OKAY. WELCOME. MUELLER. QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. NPR. AND OUR ONLINE CAST OF CHARACTERS. UH, MISS KARWACKI. I HAVE NO QUESTION. THANK YOU AND THANK GOD DR BAUER. UH ONE QUICK QUESTION ABOUT KIND OF GRANULARITY OF DATA. UM. WE HAVE DATA ON THE POSITIVITY RATE SEGREGATED BY AGE IN PARTICULAR SCHOOL AGE ANNOUNCED THE STATE DIVIDES IT LIKE.

BELOW 30 AND ABOVE, BUT DO WE HAVE IT MORE GRANULAR THAN THAT? THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION. YES THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT DOES HAVE A GIN FORMACION ON THE CASES IN IN OUR COUNTY. UH WE SUMMARIZE IT TO PROTECT PRIVACY. ON A CONFINED WAYS THAT I COULD SHARE IT WITH YOU THAT WON'T BREACH THAT PRIVACY. I CAN DO THAT FOR YOU LATER IN THE WEEK.

THANK YOU. AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE PRESENTATION OVERALL. PHILLIPS. I QUESTION IT WAS A GREAT GREAT PRESENTATION AND VERY ENLIGHTENING. UH, I HOPE MANY.

THANK YOU. AND DOCTOR HAROLD. THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION AND DO NOT HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. DR BASHAR. WE APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. AGAIN. THANK YOU, DR BASHAR. I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE A MOMENT. JUST TO AGAIN INTRODUCED THE ADMINISTRATION.

DISCUSSION ON THIS, WE WILL GO THROUGH. I'M GOING TO ASK A FEW PEOPLE TO SPEAK, WHO CAN GIVE SOME UPDATES WITH REGARD TO COTTON EARLY LEARNING. MEAN AS EVERYONE IS FULLY AWARE WE MADE THE ANNOUNCEMENT ON THURSDAY THAT IT WAS OUR INTENTION TO REQUIRE MASKS FOR THE START OF THE SCHOOL YEAR. AND, UM. HAVING HEARD DR PESCI'S PRESENTATION THAT'S CONSISTENT WITH WHAT WE'VE HEARD AND WHAT WE CONSIDERED AND. BUT THERE WERE OTHER THINGS THAT OCCURRED IN OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM. UM IN JULY. ALONG WITH MANY OTHERS IN THE STATE. WE WERE OPTIMISTIC

[02:55:08]

WE CAN'T SAY FOR CERTAIN THAT PROVES ANYTHING BUT AT THE SAME TIME. IT WAS DIFFERENT FROM THE EXPERIENCE WE HAD WHEN WE HAD SO MANY CHILDREN IN THE SPRING WITHOUT MATH. YEAH. SO WITH THAT SAID, UM. ACTUALLY GOING TO TURN IT OVER FIRST TO MR O'BRIEN TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT TO EXPECT WITH SECONDARY. UM BOTH AN UPDATE FOR OUR VIRTUAL SCHOOL, SWAN CREEK, WHICH IS BEGINNING ITS FIRST YEAR HERE IN THE FALL. AND THEN A QUICK CONVERSATION ABOUT SOME OF WHAT WE'VE EXPERIENCED WITH ATHLETICS. WELL, THEN GO TO DOCTOR MAC TO TALK ABOUT ELEMENTARY AND THEN VERY BRIEFLY TO DR BROWN TO TALK ABOUT HOW WE COLLECT OUR STUDENTS WITH TUTORS AS NEEDED. AND THEN BORED IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOLLOWING THOSE THREE, SO, MR O'BRIEN. GOOD EVENING, PRESIDENT CODY, A VICE PRESIDENT, YOU AWARE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD AND COMMUNITY. FIRST FOR ATHLETICS. UM. WE, UM WE'RE REALLY PROUD, REALLY PROUD OF OUR WORK SO FAR, UM, LIKE TO THANK THE COACHES, AIDS PRINCIPALS AND PARENTS AND STUDENT ATHLETES. WE DID GET FULL ATHLETICS. ALL SPORTS. STARTED LAST WEEK. AGAIN ALONG WITH OUR GOALS FOR TOOL. IT'S REALLY TO KEEP STUDENT ATHLETES AND COACHES ON THE FIELD.

THAT'S REALLY OUR GOAL. UM AND ALSO IN THE CLASSROOM. WE WANT TO DO THAT IN THE SAFEST MANNER POSSIBLE. HAVING HER STUDENT ATHLETES VACCINATED. HAS BEEN OUR BEST MITIGATION STRATEGY.

TO MAINTAIN CONTINUITY. UM, IN OUR FALL SEASON, WE WANT TO AVOID LARGE QUARANTINES, FULLY VACCINATED. STUDENT ATHLETES WERE ASYMPTOMATIC. WOULD NOT NEED TO QUARANTINE IF WE HAVE A COVID CASE ON THE TEAM, AND THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT. UM WE DO RECOMMEND ALL OF OUR ATHLETES, IF POSSIBLE TO GET VACCINATED IF THEY'RE NOT ALREADY. PLAYERS AND COACHES ARE TO WEAR MASKS WHEN NOT ENGAGED IN HIGH INTENSITY ACTIVITIES SUCH AS ON THE SIDELINE TIMEOUTS. 13 MEETINGS, UM OR WHEN SOCIAL DISTANCING CANNOT BE MAINTAINED. FOR SPECTATORS. WE HAVE SOME RULES FOR INSIDE AND OUTSIDE FOR SPECTATORS OUTSIDE. THERE IS NO LIMIT. UM OR FOR OUTDOORS, ALTHOUGH MASKS ARE HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. ESPECIALLY FOR UNVACCINATED, UM, COMMUNITY MEMBERS. FOR INDOORS, MASKING AND DISTANCING WILL BE REQUIRED FOR SPECTATORS, SO THAT REALLY FALLS INTO VOLLEYBALL. UM, FOR THE FALL. AS SOON AS IT CAN BE ORGANIZED WEEKLY TESTING FOR OUR NON VACCINATED STUDENT ATHLETES. UM IT'S SOMETHING WE PLAN ON IMPLEMENTING INTO THE FALL. SO FAR WE HAVE HAD SOME QUARANTINE SITUATIONS. SO AGAIN VACCINATED STUDENT ATHLETES ARE AN ADVANTAGE THERE BECAUSE UNLESS THEY'RE SYMPTOMATIC THEY CAN CONTINUE PRACTICING. WHICH IS A BIG THING. SO AGAIN, JUST OUR GOAL WITH ATHLETICS IS TO DO. EVERYTHING THAT WE CAN KEEP IT PUSHING FORWARD. KEEP THE KIDS ENGAGED WITH ACTIVITIES. UM AND DOING SO IN A SAFE MANNER. WE'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT SWAN CREEK. WE CURRENTLY HAVE 238 MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS. AND 303 HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS AT SWAN CREEK. OUR VIRTUAL STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO ACCESS MEAL KITS WEEKLY AT OUR REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOLS. WE CONTINUE TO CONSIDER ALL APPLICATIONS BASED ON CURRENT ENROLLMENT AND THE NEEDS OF THE STUDENTS WHO APPLY TO SWAN CREEK. SO ANY STUDENT AND PARENT WHO, UM, WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK WITH SWAN CREEK. YOU CAN CERTAINLY COLD CALL OVER THERE ANY DAY. THEY CAN TALK TO YOU ABOUT IF THEY CAN MEET THE NEEDS OF YOUR STUDENTS. FOR ANY STUDENT WHOSE NEEDS WE CANNOT MEET RIGHT AWAY WILL BE OFFERED A SPOT ON OUR WAIT LIST. AND WE'RE REALLY PROUD OF THE COURSES WERE OFFERING AT SWAN

[03:00:05]

AND WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO OUR STUDENTS RETURNING. OUR BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT. MUCH LIKE SECONDARY WILL ALSO BE VIRTUAL AND WE ARE WORKING WITH OUR ADMINISTRATORS TO IDENTIFY THOSE ESSENTIAL ACTIVITIES THAT WILL TAKE PLACE AND HOW THEY WILL TAKE PLACE AS WE GET FURTHER. UM INTO THE MONTH OF AUGUST AND TOWARDS THE BEGINNING OF THE SCHOOL YEAR, SO MAKE SURE YOU ARE. LOOKING OUT FOR COMMUNICATIONS TO COME FROM YOUR PRINCIPAL REGARDING THOSE ESSENTIAL THINGS THAT COME UP AS WE GET CLOSER TO THE BEGINNING OF THE SCHOOL YEAR, SUCH AS BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT, SNEAKING PEEKS AND OPEN HOUSES. YOUR PRINCIPAL WILL BE ABLE TO SHARE SPECIFIC DETAILS ABOUT THAT. WE'RE ALSO EXCITED ABOUT ONE FREAK. WE HAVE 294 STUDENTS THAT ARE ENROLLED IN HER ELEMENTARY PROGRAM FOR SWAN CREEK. WE ARE PLEASED TO SAY THAT WE ARE FULLY STAFF. WE HAVE TWO GREAT LEVELS. UM TWO CLASSES AT EACH GRADE LEVEL K 25 AND, UM. WE BEGAN OUR TARGET ABOUT 20 STUDENTS PER GRADE LEVEL ON YOUR PER CLASSROOM. UM BUT WE MADE THE DECISION TO HAVE OUR VIRTUAL PROGRAMS. MIRROR WHAT IS HAPPENING IN OUR ELEMENTARY CLASSROOMS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY AND SO IN ARCATA TO CLASSROOMS YOU CAN EXPECT TO HAVE 25 STUDENTS IN AN ARC. GRADES THREE THROUGH SPIES YOU CAN EXPECT TO HAVE ABOUT 30 STUDENTS PER CLASS. AS WE LOOK AT THE VACANCIES THAT EXISTS CURRENTLY AT ONE CREEK, UM WE HAVE GRADES 1 TO 4 AND FIVE CURRENTLY AT CAPACITY. SO WE DO HAVE A WAIT LIST THAT HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED FOR THOSE GREAT LEVEL. AND ANY STUDENT THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY THAT IS INTERESTED IN PURSUING SWAN CREEK CAN REACH OUT THIS LONG CRETE AND, UM, THE ADMINISTRATION CAN TALK TO YOU ABOUT. THE WAIT LIST AND HOW LONG THE WEIGHTLESSNESS AND THE OPTIONS THAT MIGHT BE AVAILABLE TO YOU FOR THAT. CURRENTLY WE HAVE ABOUT 32 STUDENTS THAT ARE ON THE WAIT LIST OF SWAN CREEK, RANGING FROM GRADES K 25. WE CONTINUE TO CONSIDER ALL OF HER APPLICATIONS. UM AND WE CAN CONTINUE TO HAVE, UM INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE SPEAKING ACCESS TO SWAN CREEK EACH DAY. AND WE'RE WORKING WITH THOSE FAMILIES TO JUST MAKE SURE THAT THEY UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT PROCESS WILL LOOK LIKE. AS WE GET INTO THE SCHOOL YEAR YOU'VE HEARD SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT THE IMPACT THAT WE KNOW COVID IS GOING TO HALF THERE MAY BE OPPORTUNITIES OR THERE WILL BE OPPORTUNITIES WHEN STUDENTS ARE QUARANTINE. PARTICULARLY AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL BECAUSE THERE IS NO VACCINE AVAILABLE FOR OUR STUDENTS. THIS YEAR. WE'VE MADE A DECISION TO PROVIDE OUR STUDENTS THAT ARE QUARANTINED OR ISOLATED WITH MAKEUP WORK.

ROOM IT'S LEARNING OR THROUGH A MUTUALLY AGREED UPON SYSTEM ESTABLISHED BY THE CLASSROOM TEACHER AND THE FAMILY. THERE WILL NOT BE VIRTUAL ACCESS TO THE CLASSROOM. THIS YEAR AS WE APPROACH THE 2021 22 SCHOOL YEAR, BUT INSTEAD, STUDENTS WILL ACCESS MAKEUP WORK. YEAH, UM, IT'S LEARNING OR, LIKE I SAID, I'M MUTUALLY AGREED UPON UM, FORMAT. THIS MAKEUP WORK.

WILL BE A SYNCHRONISED IN NATURE AND STUDENTS WILL HAVE THE NUMBER OF DAYS THAT THEY ARE OUT TO MAKE UP THAT WORK AND THE TEACHERS WILL WORK VERY CLOSELY WITH THE FAMILIES TO

[03:05:01]

NEITHER STUDENT WOULD NEED TO BE EXCLUDED FROM SCHOOL BECAUSE OF CLOSE CONTACT AS LONG AS THE MASKS ARE WORN APPROPRIATELY. THAT IS SOMETHING THAT'S APPEARED IN THE GUIDANCE THAT WILL HELP REDUCE ANY DISRUPTIONS TO STUDENTS BEING IN SCHOOL. UM. WITH OUR EARLY ACTIVITIES WITH SPORTS. LAST WEEK, OUR SPORTS BEGAN. WE HAD A NUMBER OF INCIDENTS WHERE WE HAD CLOSE CONTACTS. AND WE'VE HAD TO ADDRESS WE'VE ALREADY SEEN DISRUPTIONS IN OUR ATHLETIC PROGRAMS. UNFORTUNATELY WHERE WE'VE HAD CLOSE CONTACTS AND HAD TO GO THROUGH THAT PROCESS, AND WE HAVE SOME STUDENTS IN QUARANTINE NOW, AS A RESULT. UM EVERY SINGLE DECISION THIS YEAR. IS TO ENSURE WE CAN INCLUDE STUDENTS AND ALL.

SCHOOL ACTIVITIES IN PERSON. OUR FOCUS IS ON HAVING STUDENTS IN PERSON IN SCHOOL. IN THE MOST YEAH. WITH ALL THE ACTIVITIES. WE DON'T WANT TO CANCEL ANYTHING. THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO DISCUSSIONS OCCURRING ABOUT CLOSING SCHOOLS OR CANCELLING IN PERSON STUDENT ACTIVITIES AT A LARGE SCALE. NOW THERE IS STILL THE PROTOCOL THAT IF WE DO HAVE BIG

[03:10:04]

WE DIDN'T WANT TO BE EXPERIENCING OR MAKING THESE DIFFICULT DECISIONS NOW, BUT HERE WE ARE. SO AGAIN BOARD I THINK ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR INPUT YOUR HARD QUESTIONS. YOUR CONVERSATION. COMMUNITY AGAIN. THANK YOU FOR THE INPUT. AND, UM. YOU KNOW, WE KEEP HOPING FOR A DAY WHEN WE CAN RETURN TO A SCHOOL EXPERIENCE THAT WE'RE ALL MORE FAMILIAR WITH. WE THOUGHT WE WERE CLOSE. BUT WE'VE HAD THE SETBACK, BUT WE WILL PUSH THROUGH IT. AND HOPEFULLY SOON MASKS WON'T BE AS ESSENTIAL AS THEY ARE NOW. BUT RIGHT NOW, THAT SEEMS TO BE WHAT WE NEED TO DO SO WITH THAT BOARD, I'D OPEN UP FOR QUESTIONS. YEAH. YOU KNOW THIS WHOLE COMMON? YOU FEEL LIKE THERE MIGHT BE SOME STUDENT QUESTIONS REGARDING. WORKS AND SOME OF THE FUN STUFF THAT WAS JUST MENTIONED. HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, ALL RIGHT. MR CARDI, DO YOU HAVE ANYONE? NO QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME. THANK YOU, DOCTOR. REAL ER. AFTER BOLSONARO WE GOING TO SET. GUIDELINES AS FAR AS LIKE CERTAIN BENCHMARKS WERE LOOKING FOR IN ORDER TO REMOVE THE MASK MANDATE OR WHAT, UH, YOU KNOW, SOME PEOPLE WERE MAKING COMMENTS THAT THEY'D LIKE TO HAVE. NUMBER LIKE WHEN COMMUNITY SPREAD DROP BELOW A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE. WOULD WE CONSIDER LIFTING THE MASK MANDATES AND SCHOOLS? THAT IS THE CONVERSATION. UM WE'VE ALL WANTED WE WE'VE ALL HOPED. FOR PROCESS MAP LIKE THAT THROUGHOUT WE'RE NOT GOING TO SET A FIXED NUMBER. UM. RIGHT NOW. I DON'T BELIEVE THIS GUIDANCE. BUT ONE OF THE THINGS YOU HEARD DR BUSH, I SAY EARLIER THIS EVENING IS WE WILL BE WATCHING THE EXPERIENCE OF OTHERS. YOU KNOW, I ASKED HIM A QUESTION MUCH LIKE THAT. A FEW WEEKS AGO, WHEN THE. QUESTION ABOUT WHETHER WE SHOULD CONSIDER A MASK MANDATE FIRST CAME UP. BECAUSE AS I SAID, UM NONE OF US WANTED TO GO THERE. AND SO ONE OF THE QUESTIONS IS WHEN CAN WE CONSIDER. DON'T KNOW HOW HOPEFUL TO BE AROUND THAT. BUT BUT I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT THAT IS EVERYONE'S HOPE. EVERYONE'S GOAL AND, UM. BUT WE'LL BE WORKING WITH THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND AGAIN, WE'LL BE LEARNING FROM THE EXPERIENCES OF OTHERS. THANK

NO QUESTIONS. JUST HAPPY WITH THE SITE LOCATION. I THINK THAT'LL BE JUST TERRIFIC. THANK YOU AGAIN. DR BAUER. ONE QUESTION. UM. SO FOR CAMPUS HILLS. IT LISTS NO PUBLIC WATER AND SEWER. I ASSUME THAT THIS MOSTLY JUST REFLECTS A COST. TO AND ALL THOSE ON SITE. HOW SIGNIFICANT WOULD THAT COST BE? DR BART CHRIS BORDEN SUPERVISOR FACILITIES. ALL. THAT IS CORRECT. OH, WHEN WE, UH HAVE TO PROVIDE THAT. A HUGE BENEFIT. THAT WAS ABOUT 3.5 $4 MILLION FOR WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITY. AND THEN THERE'S ONGOING MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONAL COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH MAINTAINING ALWAYS WATER TREATMENT PLANT. ATTACK. THANK YOU, UM IS THERE, I GUESS. OPTION FOR HCPS TO PAY TO CONNECT THAT SITE, TOO. PUBLIC WATER AND SEWER. SO IT'S OUTSIDE OF THE COUNTY'S GROUP ENVELOPE. OH, SO THEY. OH, THAT IS NOT IN OUR, UH OKAY? THANK YOU. I HAVE QUESTIONS. OKAY, MS KARWACKI. SIRIO SWITCHING BACK AND FORTH. I THINK THE SITE THE LOCATION IS GENERALLY A VERY GOOD LOCATION. MY ONLY CONCERN IS THAT UM. HOW CLOSE IS. THE CLOSEST ELEMENTARY. SCHOOL TO THIS LOCATION. AGAIN THIS FIRST SPORTEN CLOSEST AS PROSPECT NOEL METRICS FULL. WICH IS LOCATED WITH OUR PROTECT AND JOHN DWYER, KIRKE. OKAY SO HOW FAR IS THAT FROM THIS LOCATION WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. NOT FOR IT ALL VIOLENCE. YEAH, I LOVE IT BACK HOME. BROKE IT FOR YOU. OKAY, SO WOW. WHICH GOES MY CONCERN IS THEN. THAT THE SCHOOL WOULD BE TOTALLY ISOLATED. UM. AND NOT REALLY FACILITATE INTERACTION WITH. TYPICALLY DEVELOPING AGE LEVEL PEERS. CORRECT. OKAY? THAT IS CORRECT. THEN THE CONVERSATIONS THAT WE'VE HAD, UM YOU KNOW WHERE. INTERNAL STAKEHOLDERS ON OUR STRUCTURE INSIDE IN OUR SPECIAL, UM, YOU KNOW, EDUCATION DEPARTMENT. IS WHEN LOOKING AT ALL OF THE OPTIONS. AS YOU KNOW, WE LOOKED AT SOME SEVEN SIDE STOPPED, COUNTY. UH, UM, YOU KNOW, WITH. RING FACTORY AND THE HOMESTEAD WAKEFIELD SITE BEING, UM, THE TWO SITES WHERE. THERE WAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO CO LOCATE THE JOHN ARCHER. UM SCHOOL WITH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS AND AT THE HOMES THAT WAY FEEL SITE ALSO WITH MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS. THERE WERE JUST OTHER, UM DISADVANTAGES WITH. YOU KNOW, SITE CONGESTION AND TRAFFIC AND AT THOSE TYPE OF ISSUES SO LOOKING AT THE PROS AND CONS AND THE FACT THAT, UM, THE CAMPUS HILL SITE IS, UM, YOU KNOW, RIGHT DOWN THE STREET FROM THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE AND BREAK DOWN THE STREET FROM THE HIGH SCHOOL AND NOT FAR FROM PROSPECT MILL. THERE ARE OPPORTUNITIES TO CONTINUE. UM, YOU KNOW, TO BUILD ON THE RELATIONSHIPS THAT JOHN ARCHER HAS ESTABLISHED MOSTLY WITH THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE AND THE HIGH SCHOOL. SO WE WOULD CONTINUE TO, YOU KNOW, TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THOSE RELATIONSHIPS TO OFF THE OPPORTUNITIES TO THE STUDENTS AT JOHN ARCHER. AND I UNDERSTAND THE CONNECTION WITH HARVARD COMMUNITY. UM BUT

[03:35:07]

TROUBLING. CONCERN ABOUT THIS LOCATION. IT DOESN'T REALLY FACILITATE BEING ABLE TO WALK TO THE NEXT BUILDING. BUT. DID LOOK AT THE CONS ON ALL THE OTHER LOCATIONS. IT DOESN'T SEEM THAT WE HAVE MUCH CHOICE. MIGHT INTERJECT. THIS IS MY CAMPBELL WITH BAND CAMPBELL ARCHITECTS, JUST THE DISTANCE FROM THE CAMPUS HILLS TO THE EXISTING JOHN ARCHER, HARFORD TECH AND PROSPECT MILL SITE IS 8/10 OF A MILE. RIGHT? I GET THAT, BUT THAT ESPECIALLY PUTTING TWO CHILDREN ON A BUS. AND TRANSPORTING THEM. NOT HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY. KIDS TO HAVE MORE FREQUENT INTERACTIONS. OKAY? THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THEY GET NOW.

PARDON? THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THEY GET NOW. IT'S SOMETHING THEY SHOULD BE GETTING. I CAN'T ANSWER THAT QUESTION. I DON'T HAVE THE ANSWER. CAN SOMEONE ANSWER THAT THERE? YEAH. SPORT AND AGAIN TO WORKING THROUGH OF THIS PROCESS WITH ALL THE VARIOUS STAKEHOLDERS. IT WAS REALLY IMPORTANT WAS BORN BIT CONNECTION TO SECONDARY. OH, MY POOR ENOUGH TO SAY THAT ANY CONNECTION, AND I DON'T DISAGREE. WACKY IS IMPORTANT. ALL YOU KIND OF HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD WHERE WE'RE KIND OF LIMITED WITH SITES THAT WERE AVAILABLE IN PLATES THAT HAD SPACE AVAILABLE, YOU KNOW? SOLD THINGS. WHAT WAS APPARENT WITH WORKING. OF ALL THE STAKEHOLDERS. UH. MR GEIR, OR PRINCIPLE. JOHN OR PETER AND OTHER STAFF. IN THAT CONNECTION WITH CORPORATE PACK. IN THAT AREA AND THAT CAMPUS OH, EVEN THOUGH IT IS, UH, THAT MILE DISTANCE ROUGHLY. OH THEY FELT THAT WAS VERY IMPORTANT OF ALL THE DIFFERENT PLACES WE LOOKED AT IT THAT'S HELPFUL. WELL, I APPRECIATE YOU CARRYING MY CONCERNS. THANK YOU. WOW. ALL RIGHT, DR PHILLIPS. I DO NOT HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. AND DOCTOR HAROLD. NO PURPOSE AND JUST HAVE A QUICK COMMENT. UM.
