SPEAKERS MAY BE INTERRUPTED AND BE GIVEN NOTICE WHEN THEY HAVE 30 SECONDS LEFT WHEN SPEAKERS HAVE REACHED THEIR THREE MINUTE MARK. THEIR TIME WILL EXPIRE. MITHRA LOW. FIRST UP. WE HAVE DONNA MIRRORS, FOLLOWED BY SAMMY ROSE. YOU. BUT I'M HERE AT THE SCHOOL BOARD BECAUSE I'M NOT CHOICE. SINCE HARPER COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS DOES NOT RESPOND. HOUSE FOR MY EMAILS.

SO HERE WE ARE. SINCE THE START OF THE SCHOOL YEAR, THIS BODY HAS IMPLEMENTED. ONE POLICY AFTER THE NECK THAT MAKES LITTLE SENSE WHEN COMPARED TO STUDIES IN THE. YOUR ANSWER TO EVERYTHING IS WE ARE JUST FOLLOWING THE CDC. YOU THINK THAT ONE PHRASE ABSORBS YOU AND YOUR EMPLOYEES? HOWEVER I WANT TO INTRODUCE YOU TO A CONCEPT CALLED CRITICAL THING. CRITICAL THINKING MEANS YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THINGS AT FACE VALUE. WHEN THAT SCENE MANDATES OR IMPLEMENTED, AND PARENTS BLOW. YOUR ANSWER WILL BE. IT'S WHAT THE CDC RECOMMENDS. SO WHAT I'M HERE THIS EVENING IS TO ASK YOU A FEW QUESTIONS. ARE WE THE SAFETY AND EFFICACY OF THESE VACCINES? HAVE YOU BEEN FOLLOWING NOW? THAT'S 17,128 PEOPLE ARE DEAD. 800,000 HAVE BEEN INJURED. HAVE YOU MET WITH FAMILIES WHO HAVE LOST LOVED ONES. I. I HAVE DONE SO MORE TIMES THAN I CAN CARE. HAVE YOU LISTENED TO THE FDA HEARING OF 9 17. HAVE YOU LISTENED TO THE TESTIMONY OF. AND MY IMMUNOLOGIST, VIROLOGIST AND DOCTOR. WHO WOULD NEVER CONSIDER MANDATES. EXPERT AFTER EXPERT TESTIFIED THAT THE VACCINES KILL MORE PEOPLE THAN THEY SAVE AND THAT'S A DIRECT UM, THAT HEARING. AND EVEN WORSE, ANOTHER QUOTE, THEY POSE A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER OF CREATING CORONAVIRUS VARIANCE. ONE RESEARCHER. AND HIS GROUP LOOKED AT THE VARIOUS DATA AS WELL AS DAD. HEY AND ISRAEL. THEY HAVE DETERMINED THAT THERE ABOUT 411 DEATHS PER MILLION DOSES OF THE VACCINE. YOU WERE MAKING POLICIES THAT ARE ABUSIVE TO OR CHILDREN AND HAVE FAR REACHING CONSEQUENCES. AND I'M HERE TO TELL YOU THAT YOU NO LONGER HAVE THE LUXURY OF RELYING ON THE WISDOM OF OTHERS. YOU HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO THIS COMMUNITY, NOT TO THE POLITICS OF WASHINGTON, D. C. YOU NEED TO RETURN. OUR PHONE CALLS AND EMAILS, ANSWER OUR CONCERNS AND UNDERSTAND OUR CHILDREN ARE NOT SURE WHO LIVE THINK.

EVENING HEROIN. SANT MERETZ, AND I'M, A JUNIOR AT A EDGEWOOD HIGH SCHOOL. SUN EXPOSED TO THE COVID VIRUS ON THE 17TH OF SEPTEMBER, BUT I WAS SENT HOME ON THE 21ST TO PREVENT AN OUTBREAK, THE NURSE SAID. I HAVE TO QUARANTINE FOR 14 DAYS.

A HOME IN MY ROOM. I CANNOT GO TO WORK. BUT AFTER THEY TOLD ME THE QUARANTINE THIS SECOND GO TO LINE MUCH BRIGHTER. IT ON MY LOCKER AND GET MY STUFF DURING THE TRANSITION. I ASKED HER WELL, A NEGATIVE PIVOT TEST WORK. SHE SAID. NO, IT TAKES 14 DAYS TO GET BACK TO YOU IN IT.

A RAPID TEST RESULTS TEST RESULTS. OUR AND MY PCR TEST WAS IN WITHIN THREE DAYS. THREE DAYS. MY MOM SENT AN EMAIL TO MY MINISTRY AND MISS PREMIERED IS EXPLAINING HOW FRUSTRATED SHE IS, AND SHE ASKED HER A FEW QUESTIONS. ONE OTHER QUESTION WAS DO VACCINATED KIDS AFTER CORN? MY FRIEND WAS SENT HIM LAST WEEK. AND HERE'S BELIEVE THAT I'M NOT SETTING HIM WELL.

MY TEACHERS DID NOT SEND ME ANYWHERE WHEN I THEY JUST TOLD ME TO CHECK. SO I CALLED MY CASE MANAGER. MISS JENNIFER STOP AND I ASKED HER HOW THIS WAS GOING TO WORK. I WAS TOLD I WAS EXEMPT FROM ASSIGNMENT THAT HER HANDS THAT ARE HANDED OUT IN THE CLASS. SO I SENT AN EMAIL OUT ASKED HIM CAN I CAN I PLEASE GET MY WORK? GREEN JACKET, BARNEY JACKETS. NOW WE'LL SEE THIS. SOME OF THEM DID PUBLISH THEM, BUT THEY WERE NOT. IT'S THAT I REQUEST. AND

[00:10:03]

WHEN I CAME BACK TO SCHOOL, ALL MY AGE DROPPED TO EASE. I GOT ZEROS FOR STUFF THAT WAS HANDED IN THE GLASS. AND I HAD A TON OF MAKEUP WORK TO DO AND IT WAS NOT EASY. I WAS STRESSED OUT I JUST COULDN'T TAKE ALL OF IT AND I HAD TESTED HIM AND I FEEL THEM ALL. ALL IT SAYS THAT THEY GAVE BACK AND PRESIDENT CLIENT OKAY? SO AND ANOTHER THING I JUST WANT TO SAY I WOULD HAVE APPRECIATED IT IF THE TEACHERS WOULD HAVE JUST SENT ME THE WORK LIKE ARE CLOSER TO IN THE GAME. AS I SAID IT TOOK MULTIPLE EMAILS FOR THEM TO GET TO WORK AND. SO ANOTHER THING I JUST WANT TO BRING UP. I'VE BEEN BANNED FOR AROUND SIX YEARS. I MEAN, MARCHING BAND DRUM LINE AND I ENJOY DOING IT TO THIS DAY FRIDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL GAME. I HAVE TO QUIT BECAUSE OF THIS COVID TESTING THAT YOU GUYS WANT TO DO TWICE A WEEK? I LOVE VAN. I DON'T WANT TO DO THIS. AND MY EVEN MY BAND DIRECTOR IS NOT HAPPY. I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR TAKING THAT AWAY. I LOVE DOING BAND AND I HAVE TO QUIT BECAUSE OF COVID TESTING TWICE A WEEK.

LIKE I WILL SAY THIS AGAIN, I WOULD FIRST I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE. I WOULD LIKE. I WOULD LIKE TO THANK MY CASE MANAGER, MS STAB AND MY TWO NUMBERS SHOW FOR GIVING ME THIS CHANCE FOR HELPING ME THROUGH THE CHALLENGE, BUT I SHOULD NOT HAVE GONE THROUGH THIS IN THE FIRST. YEAH. NEXT WE HAVE HEATHER MILLER, FOLLOWED BY BRIAN ZORN. MILLER. TESTING HEALTHY KIDS WITH NO SYMPTOMS CREATES ATHLETES NOT TO PLAY. NOT WANTING A DISPOSABLE AND OFTEN TIMES, SOMETIMES HURTFUL SWAB THEIR NASAL PASSAGE WEEKLY. IT ALSO. FREAKS TENSION AND STRESS AND NORMALLY HEALTHY KIDS. WAITING TO KNOW WHAT THEY CAN PLAY AND. TESTING HEALTHY KIDS WITH NO SYMPTOMS ALSO CREATES KIDS BEING CALLED OUT FOR TESTING. WHICH CREATES PUBLIC SHAMING KIDS FROM NOT BEING VACCINATED. CREATING A DIVISION AMONG OUR CHILDREN.

THEY SHOULDN'T BE CREATED INTO TWO CATEGORIES OF VACCINATION AND NON VACCINE. INACCURATE TESTING RESULTS. AND LOST RESULTS, EQUALING NOT BEING ABLE TO PARTICIPATE. EXAMPLE MY SON WAS CONTACT TRACING QUARANTINE TOO INACCURATE RESULTS. MAKING HIM MISS A VERY MEANINGFUL FOOTBALL GAME. MEANWHILE HIS TWO BROTHERS WHO WE EAT DINNER WITH AT THE DINING ROOM TABLE EVERY NIGHT, GOT TO GO TO SCHOOL AND PLAY FOOTBALL. WHEN I CALLED THE SCHOOL THEY REFERRED TO ME TO THE NURSE. I CALLED THE NURSE. SHE REFERRED ME TO DR BOSSY.

FINALLY GOT A HOLD OF DR DOSSEY AND HE TOLD ME THAT HE WAS NEVER CONTACTED FROM THE SCHOOL OR ANYBODY ABOUT THE CASE. AFTER ANOTHER PCR TESTS FROM THE FIRST STUDENT WHO WAS HAD THE INCORRECT RESULTS CAME BACK AFTER WAITING ANOTHER THREE DAYS HE WAS FINALLY ALLOWED TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL. I GET ARE STILL MR FOOTBALL GAME. FULL SEASON IS NOW JUST ENDING WITH NO TESTING AND PAKISTANI UMS WITH NO MASS NO ISSUES THAT I'VE HEARD OF. IT'S RIDICULOUS TO TEST THE KIDS THAT ARE NORMALLY HEALTHY AND SHOULD BE HEALTHY. IF THEY'RE SICK, THEY DON'T PLAY. WHY CREATE DIVISION AGAINST MATT? SECONDS VACCINATED AND VACCINATED. IF ANYTHING, DO A TEMPERATURE READING WHENEVER THEY GO INTO THE SCHOOL FOR THAT SPORT. I MEAN, VACCINATED KIDS CAN STILL BE CONTAGIOUS AND SPREAD THE DISEASE. THIS. MAKES SENSE.

BRIAN ZORN. NOTHING I'M GOING TO SAY. WE NEED A WAY LONGER CONVERSATION AND THREE MINUTES TO GET THROUGH THIS. NOT CLEAR. IF YOU GUYS WOULD EVEN UNDERSTAND IT IF WE WENT LONGER THAN BUT I CAN TELL. THAT YOU GUYS ARE DOING IN THE SCHOOLS, WHETHER IT BE CRT IN PRACTICE AND TEACHING IT IF YOU ARE PUTTING BIG ISSUE. ANOTHER BIG ISSUE FOR ME IS HAVING KIDS HAVE TO BE TESTED OR EITHER TEST EVERY SINGLE KID. OR TEST NONE OF THE KIDS WHO WERE IN SCHOOL TOGETHER ALL DAY ANYWAY. LIKE THE FALLSTON HOME COMING DOWN. TEST JUST BEYOND VACCINATE. THAT'S A LITTLE BIT DISCRIMINATORY. AND WHERE'S THE EQUITY IN THAT? I HEAR A LOT ABOUT THESE THINGS, BUT I DON'T SEE THEM IN PRACTICE, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO COPE. I SAT THERE AND I. NO OFFENSE, BUT I THOUGHT MORE PEOPLE WOULD BE HERE. I ALMOST WASN'T ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE BECAUSE AFTER THE LAST MEETING I LOVE WATCHING YOU SAID NO MORE PUBLIC COMMENT. IT WAS VERY CONFUSING. I FOUND IT OUT THIS LAST MINUTE. I GOT TO COME

[00:15:05]

ALTHOUGH I HEARD THEY'RE THREATENING US, THEY'RE THREATENING US. AND THEN I HEAR.

OH NOW WE'RE TERRORISTS COMING UP. IS THAT YOU GUYS? WHAT YOU'RE BEING THREATENED WITH IS YOUR AGENDA IS BEING. OH, I CAN'T FIND THAT INFORMATION LOOK HARDER, DO BETTER. PLEASE DO BETTER. MR BENJAMIN HEUSER, FOLLOWED BY AMY STRAW BIRD. GOOD EVENING. FIRST OFF. WHERE IN THE HELL IS EVERYONE ELSE? I'M HERE. THEY NEED TO BE HERE. BOTTOM LINE. THERE'S NO MORE CALLING IN WE'RE DONE WITH THAT. I'VE BEEN WORKING DILIGENTLY WITH PARENTS TO GET THE CHURCH THEIR CHILDREN OUT OF QUARANTINE. 52 PARENTS OF CONTACTED ME. PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THEM AND ME. 44 HAVE GOTTEN OUT OF QUARANTINE. FORGOT INTO HOMECOMING. FOUR COULD NOT GET. EVEN WITH A NEGATIVE PCR TEST AND THE PCR TEST OR TECHNICALLY BEING RECALLED. DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY THE PCR TEST IS EVEN BEING ADMINISTERED. SECOND THE PRINCIPLE OF C. MILTON WRIGHT HAS BEEN THREATENING TEACHERS NOT TO SPEAK WITH PARENTS.

PARENTS HAVE THE RIGHT TO SPEAK TO THEIR CHILDREN'S EDUCATION. ALSO IF YOU QUARANTINE A CHILD.

YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE WHEN THE EXPOSURE TOOK PLACE. THE DATE THE TIME HOW LONG DURATION WAS IF YOU CAN. THEN YOU CAN'T QUARANTINE. BECAUSE HERE'S THE DEAL. YOU'RE DENYING SERVICES. SO LET'S SEE YOU TONIGHT SERVICES, AND I SU. HAD TO COME UP WITH A GOOD REASON AS TO WHY YOU JUST DENIED MY CHILD SERVICE. CORDEN INCIDENT REPORT AND INVESTIGATIVE REPORT. YOU NEED TO MAKE THEM AVAILABLE FOR EVERY TEACHER FOR EVERY KID. YOU QUARANTINE FAILURE TO DO SO. THEY DON'T NEED TO BE QUARANTINE PERIOD. ALSO TYPES. EVERY CHILD WHO'S MISSED 10 DAYS OF SCHOOL OR MORE HAS TO GET ANOTHER VALUATION OF THEIR I P AN EVENT CALLED A MANIFESTATION. I UNDERSTAND THROUGH A LOT OF SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHERS THAT I'M FRIENDS WITH. VIOLATION OF UNDER 34 C FRC. 300.17 UNDER THE. THREE FIND THAT YOU DECIDE THAT YOU WANT TO QUARANTINE A CHILD WITH MY P READY. TURN. IF NOT. RIGHT NOW. YOU ARE BORDERLINE. UNDER MARYLAND CRIMINAL CODE. TITLE THREE. SO THREE DAYS. 04. EARLY. ARE

[00:20:08]

[00:27:41]

THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING. I AM CONCERNED PARENT TO HCPS HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS. THE LAST TWO YEARS HAVE BEEN TRYING TO SAY THE LEAST. WE AS PARENTS HAVE FOLLOWED YOUR FORCE MANDATES TIME AFTER TIME, EVEN THOUGH THEY MAKE NO SENSE. COLLEGE AND PROFESSIONAL STADIUMS OR A MAXIMUM CAPACITY CONCERT VENUES AND RESTAURANTS ARE IN FULL FORCE, ALL WITH NO MASS INSIGHT. THINGS ARE GETTING BACK TO NORMAL. SO WHY ARE YOU STILL FORCING RIDICULOUS MANDATES ON OUR CHILDREN? THE ONLY MASSIVE STOPS COVID 19 IS A RESPIRATOR, NOT SURGICAL OR CLOTH MASKS. VACCINE IS NOT SAFE. I KNOW FIRSTHAND BETWEEN A PERFECTLY HEALTHY TEENAGER BECOMING PERMANENTLY PARALYZED TO A HEALTHY YOUNG MAN HAVING A LIFE THREATENING AN EPILEPTIC REACTION. NOT TO MENTION THE COUNTLESS CLAIMS ON SOCIAL MEDIA OF ADVERSE EFFECTS. EVEN MILITARY PILOTS BEING GROUNDED. FOR FEAR OF PULMONARY EMBOLISMS, WHICH HAVE OCCURRED.

UNVACCINATED CHILDREN WILL BE FACED. WITH WEEKLY TESTS THAT ARE FOR EMERGENCY USE AUTHORIZATION ONLY. YOU DO NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY OVER ANYONE'S CHILD'S MEDICAL PROCEDURES THE PARENTS DO. WE HAVE FREEDOM OF MEDICAL CHOICE HERE IN AMERICA. IF YOU DIDN'T GET THE MEMO, WE ARE NO LONGER IN A STATE OF EMERGENCY GOVERNOR LARRY HOGAN STATED ON JUNE 15TH THAT ALL EMERGENCY MANDATES AND RESTRICTIONS WILL BE TERMINATED. AS OF JULY 1ST.

THERE WILL NO LONGER BE ANY STATEWIDE MASK ORDER IN EFFECT FOR ANY SETTINGS, INCLUDING SCHOOLS. CAMPS AND CHILDCARE FACILITIES. YET HERE WE ARE TODAY WEARING MASKS. IN MARYLAND. WE ARE AT 85.8% VACCINATED YET THE HARPER COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION CONTINUES TO FORCE MANDATES ON OUR CHILDREN. YOU CLAIM THAT VACCINATED DO NOT NEED TO BE TESTED. YET. THE VACCINATED ARE KNOWN TO CARRY AND SPREAD THE VIRUS. IF THIS IS TRULY ABOUT PUBLIC HEALTH, THEN EVERYONE WOULD BE SUBJECTED TO TESTING. SO NOW YOU HAVE SEGREGATED OUR CHILDREN BETWEEN VACCINATED AND UNVACCINATED. AND YOU ARE DISCRIMINATING AGAINST THE UNVACCINATED CHILDREN, FORCING WEEKLY TESTING THAT IS UNLAWFUL. SO ANSWER ME THIS.

HOW MUCH MONEY IS HCPS RECEIVING FOR THE FORCE TESTING. HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE TAKEN THE VACCINE. ALWAYS. THAT IS YOUR OWN MEDICAL INFORMATION THAT YOU ARE NOT LEGALLY

[00:30:04]

NEXT WEEK. HAVE LISA STONEWALL, FOLLOWED BY JOHNNY CANDIDO. SORRY THERE'S NO YIELDING.

SHE'S ONLY GETS THREE MINUTES. ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO NOT GO? IS HERE. NOT WEARING THIS.

HERE. MAN THE RULE IS THAT YOU HAVE TO HAVE A MASK THEN. OKAY, I'M A NURSE. YOU'RE VERY VERY FAR. UM, PRETTY SURE. RIGHT? TO YOU. SO IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO PARIS YOURSELF. HAVING ME TAKE.

I ASKED WHEN I AM LIKE. HAVE THAT. BUT I. CLEARLY WITH THIS SONG AND SHAME. ON YOU IF YOU INSIST THAT ANY OF US DO. IT'S RIDICULOUS. SO ALLOW ME TO PROCEED. LEAVES. I AM. WE ARE NOT GOING TO ALLOW YOU PROCEED WITHOUT. HERE WE GO. COURSE I AM LIKE 20 FT FROM. RIDICULOUS I'M A NURSE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR BACKGROUND IS. BUT IT IS CERTAINLY NOT MEDICINE. I NEED EVERY ONE OF YOU TO LOOK AT ME AS I SPEAK AND NOT LOOK AT YOUR PHONE. OKAY. I NEED YOU TO HEAR ME. I NEED YOU TO HEAR WHAT I'M SAYING.

ANY PARENTS LISTENING AT HOME. TO RESET THE CLOCK, PLEASE. I NEED YOU TO HEAR WHAT I'M SAYING. HEARING. SAYING IN THE. YOU ARE INSISTING ON ASK. HAVE NOT HEARD. WOW CHEESE REPUTATION. HITTER. CEREBRAL. HERE. AND TIED WITH LIMITED. REASONS FOR FOLLOWING CDC. OR NOT. TWO. SO UNDER HI. FORD IS INSISTING. ASKING. EVIDENCE ABSOLUTE ABSENCE. UPSIDE. AND FOR ANYTHING PARENTS WHO ARE LISTENING OUT THERE THAT SAY THERE'S. DATA. NO, THERE IS NOT.

I TAKE GREAT UMBRAGE WITH ANY SHE SAYS, FOLLOW THE SCIENCE. WHO HAS NOT READ SCIENTIFIC

[00:35:06]

DOES IT HAVE TO DO WITH FEDERAL FUNDING THAT GET IN ORDER TO ENABLE OUR CHILDREN TWO.

RETURNED TO SCHOOL. SAFELY AND SAFELY DOES NOT MEAN THAT TALKING. NOW. SCIENCE. AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR MOTIVATION IS. EVEN GOING TO SPECULATE. BUT. I THINK YOU NEED TO ASK YOURSELVES. HI. YOU ARE. FORCING MAX. ON OUR CHILDREN. IN THE ABSENCE OF SCIENCE, IT MAKES NO SENSE. SIX. UPSET. WHAT'S THE WHAT? AND YOU WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. I MEAN, ULTIMATELY. WILL OH, MY GOD. NEXT WE HAVE LEASE LAURA LAWRENSON, FOLLOWED BY MELISSA ON. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS LISA LAWRENSON UNDER THE EQUITY AND NON DISCRIMINATION CATEGORY.

THIS BOARD IMPLEMENTED THE EDUCATION. DECEMBER 21ST 2020 PURPOSE OF THIS POLICY, AS STATED BY THE SET FORTH THE BOARD'S COMMITMENT TO PROVIDE. VIRGIN. READ AND WEEP. WAITING TO TH I VIOLATION OF HIPPA LAWS. BY THE ADMINISTRATION, THE CMW HIGH SCHOOL WHEN HALF OF THE JV SOCCER TEAM WERE PUT INTO QUARANTINE. DURING THIS CONVERSATION, HE MADE AN OFF THE CUFF REMARK. PERKS OF BEING VACCINATED. NO SOMEHOW HAVING A NORMAL HIGH SCHOOL EXPERIENCE IS NOW A PERK. ACADEMIC HER VACCINATED IN CONTACT WITH SOMEONE WITH C. 19 YOU STAY IN SCHOOL. KEEP YOUR $48 A PERSON IN PERSON LEARNING A TEACHER. HOW. UNVACCINATED CLOSE ENCOUNTER. 10 DAYS QUARANTINE LOSE 48 OF HOURS IN IN PERSON LEARNING AND GET A LIST AND TIPS AND RESOURCES FOR STAYING ACADEMICALLY ENGAGED. THE ONUS IS THEM ON THIS. WORK, PLEASE WORK. KEEP UP WITH THE NEW WORK. SOCIAL PERK VACCINATED. YOU GO TO HOMECOMING WITHOUT HAVING SOMETHING STUCK UP YOUR NOSE UNVACCINATED. YOU GET TO BE SUBJECTED TO THE NON FDA.

KIWI EU A AUTHORIZED PCR TEST. YOU ARE COVID FREE. AFTER SCHOOL THAT'S WINTER SPORTS.

SPRING SPORTS FINE ARTS WERE NO PROBLEM. YOU GET PLAYING. NO QUESTIONS ASKED. UNVACCINATED WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER YOU GET TO BE TESTED EVERY WEEK WITH THAT NON FDA APPROVED TEST OR, YOU KNOW FINE. IT SHOULD BE STATED IN VIOLATION OF 88. MORNING. MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES AND INVITEES WILL NOT RECOVER FROM THIS SUSPENSION OF. IF THIS SCHOOL SYSTEM WAS TRULY FOLLOWING POLICY OF EQUITY AND OH, WOULD BE SUBJECTED TO THE SAME COURT. WHICH WOULD MAKE SENSE IN LIGHT OF THE FACT THAT CBC HAS ALREADY RETURNED. MADE IT IN THE LIKELY TO PASS ON CITIES. AS THOSE THAT ARE VACCINATE. IS THIS ABOUT HEALTH OR CONTROL BEST CASE SCENARIO.

THE UNPACKED STUDENTS ARE IN A CUSTODY BATTLE WITH THE BOARD OF THE RICH PARENTS WHERE YOU THINK THE PARENT OF NORMAL LIFE WITH VACCINES WHILE THE POOR PARENT MAKE DECISION. WORST CASE SCENARIO. SEGREGATION AND DISCRIMINATION OF THE IMPACT. MANY OF THESE STUDENTS ALREADY KNOW THEY ARE SECOND CLASS IS WHAT ARE YOU GOING? HAVE BEEN GO TO IT. SEPARATE WATERFOWL.

SIT ON THE BACK OF THE BUS OR WHERE YELLOW STAR. IT IS UP TO YOU AS THE BOARD TO STEP UP FOR THE EQUITY OF ALL OF US. NOT JUST THE VACCINE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. HELLO I'M HERE TODAY TO SPEAK ABOUT FORCING OUR CHILDREN TO TEST WEEKLY OR BE VACCINATED IN ORDER TO PLAY WINTER AND SPRING SPORTS OR. THIS IS THAT YOU ARE PUTTING INTO PLACE BECAUSE CHILDREN TO

[00:40:01]

THIS CRISIS IS DIRECTLY TIED TO THE COVID 19 STRUGGLES THAT OUR CHILDREN ARE FACING. FROM FEBRUARY TO MARCH OF THIS YEAR ALONE, EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT VISITS FOR SUICIDE ATTEMPTS WERE UP 51% FOR GIRLS AGED 12 TO 17 IN 2020 VISITS FOR MENTAL HEALTH EMERGENCIES WAS UP. 24% IN CHILDREN BETWEEN THE AGES OF 5 TO 11 AND 31% FOR 12 TO 17. THIS MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS IS STEADILY INCREASING, AND IT IS DIRECTLY DUE TO THE DISCRIMINATORY AND EXCLUSIVE PRACTICES THAT TAKING AWAY THINGS FROM THESE CHILDREN THAT THEY NEED TO THRIVE. THESE CHILDREN HAVE SOARING RATES OF DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, LONELINESS AND SUICIDE SUICIDALITY. AND THESE EFFECTS WILL HAVE LASTING IMPACT ON THE CHILDREN, THEIR FAMILIES, THEIR COMMUNITIES AND ALL OF THEIR FUTURES. PLEASE DO BETTER AND STAND UP FOR OUR CHILDREN. WE HAVE MICHELLE KINDER FELLED BY CRAIG TILLMAN. MY NAME IS MICHELLE. KINDER AND I HAVE A DAUGHTER AT BEL AIR HIGH SCHOOL. I'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE NEW HCPS COVID POLICY REGARDING. THIS POLICY STATES THAT UNVACCINATED STUDENTS MUST TAKE IT WEEKLY COVID TEST. AND IF THERE IS AN EXPOSURE, ONLY THE UNVACCINATED KIDS HAVE TO CORN. THIS POLICY IS NOT ONLY DISCRIMINATORY, BUT IT IS CONTRADICTORY TO ALL THE DATA WE KNOW. AND IT WILL HAVE VERY LITTLE EFFECT ON THE SPREAD OF THE VIRUS. THE CDC HAS CLEARLY STATED THAT THE FACT SCENES DO NOT STOP THE SPREAD OF THE VIRUS. I HAVE THE STATEMENT HERE. YEAH. SO. A VACCINATED PERSONS CAN CATCH THE VIRUS.

THEY CAN SPREAD THE FIRE. AN UNVACCINATED PERSON CAN CATCH THE VIRUS AND SPREAD THE VIRUS.

THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THAT THE VACCINATED PERSON IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE PROTECTION. AGAINST BECOMING SERIOUSLY ILL. THE REPS THAT I HAVE TALKED TO IT. HCPS EMAILED. ALL OF YOU AND I HAVE CALLED MR POULSEN'S OFFICE SEVERAL TIMES. UM AND I'VE BEEN SENT TO OTHER PEOPLE AT HCPS AND THE JUSTIFICATION THAT THEY GIVE FOR THIS POLICY. IT'S THAT THEY'RE JUST FOLLOWING THE CDC GUIDELINES. BUT WHY DOES THE CDC ON ONE HAND SAY VACCINATED PEOPLE CAN SPREAD THIS? AND ON THE OTHER HAND, THEY RECOMMEND TO YOU ALL THAT. YOU DON'T MONITOR THE VACCINATED KISS.

THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. YOU COULD HAVE A WHOLE GROUP OF VACCINATED KID. SPREADING THE VIRUS AND NOT MONITORING IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. EXCEPT THAT MAYBE THE CDCS NUMBER ONE GOAL IS NOT TO STOP THE SPREAD OF THE VIRUS. BUT TO GET EVERYONE VACCINATED. THIS HTTPS POLICY

[00:45:09]

AND THIS POLICY DOES JUST SO WHAT IS YOUR GOAL? IF IT TRULY IS TO TRY AND CONTROL THE SPREAD OF THIS VIRUS IN THE SCHOOLS, THEN YOU NEED TO IT REALLY SHOULD BE THIS TEST ONLY THOSE KIDS. PRESENT WITH COVID SYMPTOMS, WHETHER THEY BE VACCINATED OR UNVACCINATED DOES NOT MATTER. IF THEY TEST PART THEY SHOULD STAY HOME AND PART. EVERYBODY ELSE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO MOVE ALONG AND LIVE THEIR LIVES AND THEIR SCHOOL LIFE. IF YOUR GOAL IS TO MAKE LIFE DIFFICULT FOR THE UNVACCINATED KIDS IN ORDER TO COERCE THEM INTO TAKING THIS VACCINE AND SHAME ON YOU. OUR KIDS HAVE BEEN THROUGH ENOUGH. THEY ARE THE LEAST VULNERABLE TO THIS VIRUS. AND THEY ARE THE MOST RESTRICT. THERE'S NO JUSTIFICATION. AND SINCE I HAVE SIX SECONDS, THEY ALSO SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO TAKE THEIR MATHS OFF. ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY'RE SEATED AT THEIR THINK. NEXT. WE HAVE KAYLA. MARRIAGE, KANIS. FILED BY T. MCGRATH. GOOD EVENING. I KEEP HEARING THE TERM ANGRY PARENTS WHEN REFERRING TO THE PARENTS IN THIS COMMUNITY. GUESS WHAT. WE ARE ANGRY. AN ANGRY IS PUTTING IT NICELY. WE AREN'T ANGRY AT THE SITUATION WE CAN'T CONTROL. WE AREN'T ANGRY AT THE TEACHERS. MOST OF THEM WERE TRYING THEIR BEST WITH WHAT LITTLE YOU WE ARE ANGRY AT YOU. THIS BOARD OF EDUCATION, OR SHOULD I SAY LACK THERE UP? YOU HAVE DONE MORE DAMAGE TO OUR STUDENTS, TEACHERS AND THIS SCHOOL DISTRICT IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS THAN IN THE LAST DECADE. OUR SCHOOLS, FAILURE AND OUR CHILDREN'S FAILURE IS 100% ON EVERY ONE OF YOU. DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW BEHIND THESE KIDS ARE? HAVE YOU LOOKED INSIDE A KINDERGARTEN OR FIRST GRADE CLASSROOM TO SEE THESE KIDS STRUGGLING EVERY DAY? HAVE YOU DONE ANYTHING TO ACADEMICALLY HELP THE STUDENTS THAT ARE BEING FORCED TO STAY HOME WARRANTY. NO. ALL YOU'VE DONE IS CONTINUE TO PUSH YOUR OWN FEARS AND YOUR OWN PERSONAL INTERESTS OF OUR STORY. WASTE MONEY ON UNNECESSARY TESTING.

$25 AN HOUR WASTED ON COVID TESTING LIAISONS OVERSEEING COVID TESTING AND WINTER SPORTS AND FINE ARTS. STOP THIS RIDICULOUS MANDATE OUR CHILDREN. DO NOT NEED TO BE TESTING HEALTHY KIDS WOULDN'T KNOW THEM. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE USING THIS TO DISCRIMINATE AGAINST UNVACCINATED AND BACK. VACCINATED STUDENTS ARE JUST AS LIKELY TO SPREAD THAT UNVACCINATED BOTH SHOULD BE TREATED EXACTLY THE SAME. NOT TO MENTION THEY ALL HAVE BEEN PLAYING SUMMER AND FALL SPORTS TOGETHER WITH NO ISSUES. THE METRICS IN HARFORD COUNTY, NOT SUPPORT THIS DECISION. PARENTS IN THIS COMMUNITY DO NOT SUPPORT THIS DECISION. WE THE PEOPLE OF HARTFORD COUNTY DO NOT SUPPORT THIS DECISION. STOP IGNORING THE PARENTS OF THIS COMMUNITY. STOP PLACING THE BURDEN OF COVID ON OUR CHILDREN.

LET THEM BE CHILDREN. PARENTS AND CHILDREN OF THIS COMMUNITY DESERVES SO MUCH BETTER IF YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO BE THE BOARD OF EDUCATION. MUNITY ONCE AND NEED YOU TO BE THEN IT'S TIME FOR EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU TO STEP DOWN. YEAH. I'M OFTEN THE FIRST PERSON YOU'LL SPEAK WITH WHEN YOU CALL MY SCHOOL. I GUESS IT'S TYPICALLY ON THE RECEIVING END OF MANY OF THE IRATE PARENTS ARE CALLED. UM I JUST WANT EVERYBODY TO UNDERSTAND THAT. WE'RE JUST REALLY TRYING VERY HARD TO BE THERE FOR THE KIDS AND FOR THE PARENTS. I JUST WANT TO COURAGE, EVERYBODY TO HAVE SOME GREASE WHEN YOU'RE DEALING WITH ANYONE IN YOUR CHILD'S SCHOOL. MY SCHOOL ALONE. WE'VE HAD TO DEATH THREATS TO A STAFF MEMBER AND I PERSONALLY HAVE HAD WALKED IN, HAD WALKED INTO SCHOOL AND IT HAD DEPUTIES AT MY DESK. PARENT WAS SO I READ ON THE PHONE PRIOR TO PICKING UP THEIR CHILD. SATURDAY. WE HAD OUR HOMECOMING DOWN. 600

[00:50:04]

LOOKED AROUND AND JUST TOOK IT ALL IN. ALL THE KIDS WERE HAVING FUN. PARENTS CALLED AND EMAILED ME TODAY TO THANK US FOR JUST DOING SUCH A GREAT JOB. NOT WHAT I EXPECT. PERHAPS NONE OF WHAT WE'RE DOING RIGHT NOW. LET'S NORMAL. STRESSFUL AT TIMES AND MAYBE IT ALL KIND OF JUSTICE. BUT OUR KIDS ARE HAD SIMPLY BE BACK IN SCHOOL. ON OUR WAY. PLEASE I'M JUST ASKING YOU TO JUST HAVE SOME GRACE AND PATIENCE. OUR KIDS AMAZE ME EACH DAY, WHETHER POSITIVE. YES ADJUST THEIR CELLS WHEN THE TIDE SHIP. ALL LEARN SOMETHING FROM MY ONE STRESS STUDENTS THAT DANCED ALL NIGHT. IN MASS CON AND NOT WANT HER IN THE. HAVE MICHELLE CHRISTMAS FOR BY TOSH COASTAL. HI I'M MICHELLE CHRISMAN. AND I AM SPEAKING FOR MYSELF. I AM RUNNING FOR MARYLAND STATE SENATE. I ALSO CO OWN A DOCTOR'S OFFICE IN TOWN. I AM ALSO ON TOP RADIUS 6 80 WCBM. IN 99.9 FM. I HAVE BEEN STUDYING BACK SEASON VIRUSES FOR THE LAST 24 YEARS, WHICH SO INTERESTING TO ME IS THAT I OFFERED TO BRING A GROUP OF MEN. AND CHIROPRACTORS TO THIS SCHOOL SYSTEM TO MEET WITH YOU, DR COLE SAID. AND I WAS TOLD THAT YOU ALL WOULD NOT MEET WITH ME BECAUSE I'M RUNNING FOR CANDIDATE POSITION AS SENATOR IN THIS STATE. I ALSO SAID YOU KNOW WHAT? I WON'T COME. YOU ALL STILL WOULD NOT MEET WITH THOSE DOCTORS.

FROM LOOKING AT ALL THE INFORMATION THAT I HAVE GONE OVER. THIS IS NOT NEW TO ME, YOU KNOW, STUDYING VACCINES FOR 24 YEARS. I HAVE A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE. AND YOU CLEARLY ARE NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO WHAT IS OUT THERE. YOU AREN'T YOU ARE TAKING CHILDREN. THAT. HAVE THE ABILITY TO LEARN YOUR PROFICIENCY RATE FOR YOUR SCHOOL. ISN'T THE 40 PERCENTILE RATE YET YOUR GRADUATION RATE IS OVER 90% THAT MEANS THAT OVER 60% OF THE KIDS IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM CANNOT GO OUT. WORLD AND PROBABLY DO MATH IN ENGLISH. I GO ONTO SOCIAL MEDIA, AND DR BULL SAID. I SEE A PICTURE OF YOU OUT AND ABOUT WITH NO MASK TAKING PICTURES IN FRONT OF A NEW BUSINESS STANDING RIGHT NEXT TO EVERYBODY ELSE, SMILING AND LAUGH. OUT OF CARE IN THE WORLD, YOU KNOW, CONTRADICTIONS LEAD TO DESTRUCTION. THAT IS ONE OF THE THINGS YOU LEARN WHEN YOU STUDY AS A HUMAN BEING. YOU SHOULD BE PAYING ATTENTION TO HIGHLY EDUCATING OUR STUDENTS AND NOT DABBLING IN POLITICS.

THAT IS NOT YOUR JOB. YOUR JOB IS TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR STUDENTS. OUT OF THIS SYSTEM AND THE PROPER WELL EDUCATED ADULTS THAT IS NOT HAPPENING IN MY CRACK. LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING. I'VE HIRED SOME AMAZING AP STUDENTS. THEY CANNOT KEEP THE ALPHABET CORRECT IN MY FILE CABINET. I HAVE TO RIP IT APART AND PUT IT BACK TOGETHER A THROUGH WHY IS.

YOU ALSO HAVE TO ASK YOURSELF WHY ARE YOU GOING OUT TO THE COMMUNITY AND NOT WEARING YOUR MATH AND NOT GIVING THOSE DISTANCES IF THAT IS WHAT YOU'RE DICTATING FOR THE REST OF THESE KIDS? AT THE END OF THE DAY. YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE A LEADER. THAT IS WHAT I AM A LEADER. YOU WILL SEE ME OUT IN THE COMMUNITY SHOWING UP BIG TIME EDUCATING MY COMMUNITY AND EMPOWERING. COME EVEN BETTER. IT IS NOT MY JOB TO KEEP THEM DOWN A PATH THAT MAKES IT SO THEY CAN'T TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES. YOU WERE SETTING OUR WHOLE SYSTEM OF FAIL. MANY.

ANDY HARRIS SAID THAT. IS SETTING OUR CHILDREN UP FOR POVERTY, AND THAT IS NOT WHAT

[00:55:05]

EVENING. MY NAME IS JOSH. ONE COMMENT. I WANT TO LEAVE WITH YOU IS KIDS ARE FUTURE. BEEN TALKING TO YOU FOR OVER A YEAR AND A HALF NOW WRITING LETTERS TESTIFYING AT THE BOARD OF EDUCATION. AND I'M GOING TO STOP. I APPROVE MY KIDS OUT OF THIS SYSTEM. THEY DO NOT DESERVE TO GO TO A SCHOOL SYSTEM THAT IS SUPPORTED WITH THE FOLKS THAT ARE RUNNING FROM THE BOARD OF EDUCATION HERE. THAT DOESN'T MEAN I'M GOING TO STOP LIKE I SAID. MY CHILDREN.

THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE CHILDREN, AND I HOPE THAT THEY ARE ABLE TO USE THIS RESOURCE THAT'S CALLED THE HARBOR COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION AND HARPER COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS WHEN THEY ACTUALLY HAVE CHILLED. BUT I WILL ALSO NOT STOP BECAUSE SO MANY PEOPLE CAN'T MAKE THE DESCRIPTION MAKE THE DECISION THAT I MADE. IT'S A TOUGH DECISION. I MEAN HOME TONIGHT FROM WORK. REALLY DISCOURAGES ME. I LOOK UP HERE, 123456 SEATS AND HOW MANY OF YOU ARE ACTUALLY ELECTED OR NOT A POINT? YOUR RESPONSIBILITY IS TO BE HERE IN THIS BUILDING. HE HELD ACCOUNTABLE BY THE CONSTITUENTS. THE PARENTS, THE STUDENTS WERE SO HAPPY TO HEAR.

SPEAK TONIGHT AND TELL HIS STORY TO YOU. YOU'VE CANCELED MEETING. YOU REFUSED TO RETURN EMAILS AND PHONE CALLS. THIS CANNOT CONTINUE. YOU'VE CREATED AND SUPPORTED SEGREGATION AND DIVIDE WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY. OUR COMMUNITY IS BUILT WITH RICH HISTORY IN THE DESTRUCTION THAT'S BEING CAUSED BY THIS BOARD. CANNOT CONTINUE AND IT WILL NOT CONTINUE. FROM THE TESTING TO PLAY OR PARTICIPATE IN ACTIVITIES. MASKS AND VACCINE MANDATES DO NOT OFFERING THE SAME FOR BACKS VACCINATED AND UNVACCINATED CITIZENS AND STUDENTS. IT IS SEGREGATION. IT IS NOT WELCOME HERE. WHAT ARE YOU GOING? WHAT ARE YOU DOING IS WRONG WHEN SO MANY LEVELS. MOST IMPORTANTLY, WE'RE NOT EVEN TALKING ABOUT A V SEASON 123. WHEN'S THE LAST TIME WE ACTUALLY TALKED ABOUT EDUCATING OUR CHILDREN? SO. AS THEY TALKED HIM NEGATIVE ASPECTS TONIGHT. I WANT TO BRING UP THE POLICY. IT'S OUR COMMUNITY. OUR COMMUNITY WILL COME THROUGH THIS. WITH WITHOUT. YOU HEAR ABOUT ALL THE GREAT THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING FROM THE PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY AND PUTTING ON HOMECOMING EVENTS AND INVITING OTHER STUDENTS AND OTHER COMMUNITY MEMBERS COME TOGETHER AND CELEBRATE. RETURN TO THE NORMAL SEE THAT WE ONCE KNEW. IT WILL CONTINUE. IT MUST CONTINUE. LIKE I SAID, IT'S EITHER WITH YOU OR WITHOUT YOU, BUT OUR COMMUNITY WILL SURVIVE AND WE WILL PREVAIL. OUR LAST SPEAKER FOR EM PERSON AS MR BRIAN CHEN.

HERE. HUGE AMOUNT OF SUPPORT FOR. SCHOOL YEAR THAT STARTS AFTER LABOR DAY.

LABOR DAY. YES. IN MY SUPPORT. THINK STARTING AFTER LABOR DAY. OTHERS. IT'S JUST I THINK IT WORKS FOR EVERYONE. DAYS OF SCHOOL AND HAVING A IT GENERALLY MAKES SUMMER LONGER.

[01:00:07]

THANK YOU. NO FURTHER QUESTIONS. NO QUESTIONS. THANK NOTHING FOR ME. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ANYTHING TO HAVE. FOR GOODNESS, THANK YOU ALL. THANK YOU. AN UPDATE ON CONTINUITY OF

[E. Update on Continuity of Learning, Dr. Sean Bulson, Superintendent of Schools]

THE TESTING REQUIREMENT FOR THE WINTER ATHLETIC AND THE BIGGEST SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE. FACT THAT WE'RE MOVING INSIDE. AND UM. WE HAVE. WE'VE ADDRESSED OUR MASK MANDATES INDOORS.

WE'VE BEEN MUCH MORE RELAXED. UP TO US. AND AGAIN THAT WAS ALL CONVERSATIONS THAT WAS GUIDANCE WITH THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT. AND YOU KNOW, WITH SUGGESTIONS FROM THE CBC THAT THERE'S A BIG DIFFERENCE THING INDOORS AND OUTDOORS. AS WE MOVE INTO THE WINTER SPORT.

WHERE UM. YOU KNOW CLOSE CONTACT AMONG THE ATHLETES INDOORS IS A VERY DIFFERENT THING. AND SO THAT WAS ONE OF THE REASONS FOR UPPING THE EXPECTATIONS THERE. SO I. ASK MISS THE SUITED TO SPEAK SPECIFICALLY TO SOME OF THE DETAILS RELATED TO THAT, BUT.

THAT IS CONSISTENT WITH PROTOCOLS AND OTHER DISTRICTS, NOT EVERY DISTRICTS DOING IT THE SAME WAY. NO THE SHORELINE DISTRICTS. THEY RELEASED SOMETHING ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO.

OUR TESTING REQUIREMENT AGAIN AS WE HAVE IT SET UP. TESTING. UNVACCINATED. PLATES FOR THE AFTER SCHOOL ACTIVITIES THEY CAN DO IS ONLY THERE ONLY THOSE ACTIVITIES AFTER SCHOOL. THAT AREN'T PART OF COURSE GRADE, SO THAT'S EXTRA CURRICULAR SPORTS AND EXTRACURRICULAR ARTS PROGRAMS ARE PREDOMINANTLY WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT. AND UM. TO THE TESTING IS ONCE A WEEK FOR UNVACCINATED STUDENT. AND, UM. VESELY AS WE'VE INDICATED, AND PEOPLE HAVE CONFIDENCE. IF STUDENTS ARE VACCINATED, THEY CAN OPT OUT OF THE REGULAR. SO WITH THAT, SAID, MRS SUDHA, IF YOU WANT TO ADD ANYTHING, PARTICULARLY TO THAT IF YOU WANT TO ADD TO ANY OF THOSE DETAILS, BUT IF THERE ARE QUESTIONS IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR WHERE THIS WE DO HAVE IT ON OUR COVID WEBSITE. UM UNDER ETHIC USE THAT EXPLAINS THE DETAILS THERE THAT I MISSED HIM. BUT MR SUDER. I THINK YOU FIND ALL THOSE DETAILS. THANK YOU, DOCTOR BOLSON THIS TO PICK UPDATE ABOUT OUR COUNTY, MEDFORD WHICH HAS BEEN AT ABOVE AROUND 5% FOR ALMOST THREE WEEKS. NOW STAYS POSITIVITY IS FIVE POINT. AND OUR DAILY CASE. CAMPGROUND COUNTS REMAINS IN THE HIGH TRANSMISSION DESIGNATION AT 17.17 THAT THE DAILY CASE COUNTS SO WEAKLY AT 124 100,000. WHICH PUTS US IN THE HIGH TRANSMISSION CATEGORY. I THINK KATIE'S GOING TO TALK ABOUT THAT IN A MOMENT. CURRENTLY WE HAVE 476 STUDENTS AND ISOLATION, IMPORTANT AND 83 STUDENTS IN QUARANTINE 60 STAFF MEMBERS AND ISOLATION. AND 20. STAFF MEMBERS IN QUARANTINE.

THERE ARE CURRENTLY EIGHT CLASSROOM OUTBREAKS LISTED ON THE MARYLAND DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH WEBSITE FOR HARFORD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS, DOWN FROM NINE PREVIOUS WEEK. INNER DIAGNOSTIC SCREENING PROGRAM TO DATE WE HAVE DONE 1000 AND 22 RAPID ANTIGEN TEST 33 HAVE BEEN POSITIVE. 1000 AND 99 PCR TEST 42 HAVE BEEN POSITIVE. AGAIN. WE CAUTION EVERYONE THAT THEY CALL THE PANDEMIC IS NOT OVER AND I STRONGLY URGE EVERYONE TO CONTINUE TO FOLLOW MITIGATION STRATEGIES OF STAYING HOME WHEN THEY ARE SICK, WEARING A WELL FITTING MASK CORRECTLY AND CONSISTENTLY. SOCIALLY DISTANCING WHENEVER AND WHEREVER POSSIBLE GETTING VACCINES. IF YOU'RE ELIGIBLE AS I'M SURE YOU'RE AWARE, UM, UPDATE FROM THE FDA COVID

[01:20:05]

I ASKED FAMILIES AGAIN TO REMEMBER THAT WE'RE WORKING TOGETHER TO ADDRESS THE COMMON ENEMY COVID 19, NOT EACH OTHER. I DO URGE PEOPLE TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT WHERE THEY RECEIVED THEIR NEWS. THERE'S MUCH MISINFORMATION AND DISINFORMATION OUT THERE AND I THANK EVERYONE IN HIS VANCE FOR MAINTAINING THEIR KINDNESS AND CIVILITY. AND I TURN IT OVER TO KATE. THANK YOU SO MUCH. MERRY GOOD EVENING, ALL. WE RELEASED THE NEW OPERATIONAL STATUS GUY TODAY WITH A COUPLE IMPORTANT UPDATE. FIRST WE ALIGNED OUR LANGUAGE WITH THE CDC'S DETERMINATION ABOUT RISK OF COVID MIGHT MISSION. THE CDC USES LOW MODERATE, SUBSTANTIAL AND HIGH TO CATEGORIZE COUNTY COVID EXPERIENCE. THE C D. C USES NUMBER OF NEW CASES AND POSITIVITY PERCENTAGE FOR TESTING TO MAKE THIS DETERMINATION. WE STARTED OUR SCHOOL YEAR, PRIMARILY FOCUSING ON THE PERCENT POSITIVITY TO PROVIDERS COOLS AND COMMUNITY A TOUCHSTONE FOR GAUGING OUR COMMUNITIES BREAST. NOW THE TEST IS MUCH MORE PREVALENT FOR ASYMPTOMATIC AND LIFESTYLE TEST. AND SINCE THE CDC NOW HAS A DATA TRACTOR BY COUNTING. WE FELT IT WAS ROUTED AND MORE EFFECTIVE TO USE THE CDC TRANSMISSION LABEL FOR HARFORD COUNTY AS OUR TOUCHSTONE MOVING FORWARD. THIS WAY. WE INCLUDE BOTH PERCENT POSITIVITY AND THE NUMBER OF NEW CASES. RIGHT NOW. THE CDC LABELS HARFORD COUNTY AS AN AREA WITH HIGH SPECIAL TRANSMISSION. WHICH IS THE HIGHEST RISK CATEGORY. OUR NEW OPERATIONAL STATUS WAS RELEASED TODAY TO STAFF. YES A SPECIAL FOR 11, WHICH IS OUR INTERNAL NEWSLETTER. INTO FAMILIES VIA EMAIL EARLIER THIS EVENING. DUE TO HIGH TRANSMISSION. OUR STATUS REFLECTS THE TIGHTENING OF ART. WHERE WE FOCUS ON THE ESSENTIAL NEEDS OF STUDENTS AND SCHOOL. THIS MEANS THAT WE ARE PROVIDING STUDENT CENTERED OPPORTUNITY BUT RESTRICTING FULL ACCESS TO THE BUILDING. IN GENERAL, YOU SAID FACILITIES AND VOLUNTEER ACTIVITY ARE RESPECTED. BUT A PROCESS IS IN PLACE. BIRD ADMINISTRATORS, EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS AND ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT TO MAKE ACCEPT THEM BASED ON OUR MISSION TO SERVE STUDENT. OLIVER COVERT B SOURCES ON HCPSS ORG, INCLUDING OUR FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND CONTINUITY OF LEARNING. HAVE BEEN UPDATED TO REFLECT OUR ALIGNMENT, THE CDC LANGUAGE AND OUR NEW OPERATIONAL STATUS.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, BOTH IN THE QUEST. FORTUNATELY REALLY TAKING FROM BOARD MEMBERS. IF YOU CAN EMAIL IT TO US, WE'LL TRY AND GET ANSWERS BREAK.

MAN WE'RE NOT GOING TO DROP IT RIGHT NOW THEY'VE ALREADY STARTED TO ADDRESS IT. YOU CAN SPEAK TO MISS MISS SOONER, MR. BOARD MEMBERS HAVE ANY QUEST. I DID HAVE ONE QUESTION AND WITH A LOT OF THE PUBLIC COMMENT THAT HAVE COME UP TONIGHT. I'M JUST QUESTIONING ABOUT, YOU KNOW. WHY WERE ONLY YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN UNVACCINATED VACCINATED STUDENTS BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU KNOW, BOTH 10. YOU KNOW, TEST POSITIVE AND CAN EXPOSE OTHERS. SO IF YOU KNOW? I COULD JUST GO OVER THAT ONE MORE TIME. LIKE WHY? PROTECTING CERTAIN STUDENTS AND NOT OTHERS. CERTAINLY THIS IS

[01:25:06]

I'M NOT UPDATED IT AND THERE'S STILL YOU KNOW, THEY'RE STILL MAKING A DISTINCTION BETWEEN VACCINATED AND UNPACK. AND WE'RE STILL SEEING A HIGHER PREVALENCE HERE IN THE COUNTY OF HOSPITALIZATIONS, AND I KNOW THAT WE'VE SEEN MORE BREAKTHROUGH CASES. WE'VE SEEN THEM. IN OUR STUDENTS AND STAFF AS WELL, THAT BEING SAID MM. THE MEETING JUST THIS WEEK WITH OUR LOCAL HOSPITAL AND THE LEADERSHIP THERE. THEY'RE INCREASING. CONCERNED OR INCREASING FRUSTRATION WITH. DISPROPORTIONATE NUMBER OF BEDS OF THE DISPROPORTION THAT ACTIVITY THAT THEY'RE ADDRESSING WITH KOBE CASES FOR UNVACCINATED PEOPLE. AND THAT WAS AN APPEAL FROM THEM AS WELL. EARNING THAT THEY HAVEN'T SEEN HIGHER RATE. IN THE COMMUNITY, AND THEY REALLY GENUINELY AGAIN. BOTH METAL WORKS FOR NORMALLY SUPPORT.

THAT IT WOULD BE BENEFICIAL IF WE WERE SEEING HIGHER RATES OF. BECAUSE THEY'RE CONCERNED. REST BEFORE MISSION AT THE HOSPITAL. I UNDERSTAND THERE ARE DEBATES AROUND TURN TO OUR HEALTH DEPART. HOSPITALS ARE VERY CONSISTENT WITH WHAT WE'VE HEARD FROM THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT. SO AT THIS POINT WE ARE STAYING WITH. AND IF MARYLAND PROVIDES ANYTHING DIFFERENT, BUT MARYLAND A STAYED PRETTY CONSISTENT WITH THIS USED AGAINST AS WELL.

CHANGE IT. WE WOULD. WE WOULD TAKE A DIFFERENT COURSE. IF THEY FEEL THAT IT'S TIME TO MOVED TO, YOU KNOW, REQUIRING A SCREENING FOR ALL OF BUT AT THIS TIME WE'VE. WE TRIED TO WALK THE LINE BETWEEN HAVING THE MOST STRICT PROTOCOLS AND PROTOCOLS THAT ALLOWED US YOU KNOW THAT WEREN'T OVERLY RESTRICTIVE TO ALLOW STUDENTS AND MADE AND ANNOUNCE CHANGES.

JUST A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO TO MODIFY THE MIRROR, WHICH WE DO OUR TRACING. SO THAT WE WERE FOCUSING MORE SPECIFICALLY ON THE STUDENTS WHO ARE MOST LIKELY TO BECOME A FACT. WE'VE CHANGED HOW WE DO OUR TRACING AND IT HAS REDUCED THE OVERALL NUMBER OF STUDENTS IN QUARANTINE BY NEARLY HALF. THAT BEING SAID. METRICS IN TOWN, THE COMMUNITY TRANSMISSION.

THEY'RE STAYING VERY STUBBORNLY FLAT. AND WE ARE CONCERNED THAT AS ACTIVITIES NOT JUST SPORTS, BUT ALL ACTIVITIES MOVE MORE INDOORS, WITH THE WEATHER GETTING COLDER. CERN THAT WE WOULD START TO SEE HIRED. YES, I'D LIKE TO CLOSE WITH ONE THING TO DO MY BEST TO DISPEL PROBABLY WHAT MAY BE ONE OF THE GREATER FEARS OUT THERE. WHICH IS. WE ARE NOT AT THIS POINT.

THERE IS NO INTENTION AND BEST HONEST, NO DISCUSSION OF. SHUTTING DOWN OUR ENTIRE SYSTEM AGAIN AS PEOPLE SAW DURING 2020 UM. ANY NEED WHERE WE WOULD GO MORE THAN THE GROUP THAT GROUP QUARANTINES WERE SEEING ANOTHER THING. WE'VE SEEN THOSE WHO ARE CLOSE CONTACT. THE ONE SITUATION WHERE WE WOULD, UM. MORE DRASTIC ACTION THAN WE CURRENTLY HAVE WITH JUST THE BASIC QUARANTINES AS IF WE HAVE. SIGNIFICANT OUTBREAKS IN SCHOOLS THAT APPEAR ACROSS MULTIPLE CLASSROOMS. I BELIEVE OUR STANDARD IS IF YOU HAVE THREE OR MORE ROOMS THAN ONE BUILDING RECOMMENDATION FOR THE YEAH. TO SHUT THAT ENTIRE BILL. WE'VE BEEN FORTUNATE. WE HAVE NOT REACHED THAT AT THIS POINT OVER THE SUMMER, WE CAME CLOSE WITH BELLAIRE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. AND A NUMBER OF POSITIVE CASES WE HAVE WHEN WE WERE IN OUR STATUS OF HAVING MASKS ONLY OPTIONAL. THAT WAS ONE OF THE REASONS THAT WE RETURN TO THE MASS. MANDATE. TO START THE SCHOOL YEAR. IN THE HOPES THAT IT WOULD NOT LAST AS LONG AS IT HAS, BUT WE HAVE NOT SEEN THE METRICS DROP ANYWHERE NEAR AS QUICKLY. I THINK EVERYONE EXPECTED OR HOPED SO.

THE STAGE AGAIN. NO PLANS TO SHUT DOWN THE ENTIRE DISTRICT. THE ONLY CIRCUMSTANCES THAT WOULD CAUSE. ALL SCHOOL TO BE IMPACTED AS IF WE HAVE MULTIPLE IF WE HAVE OUTBREAKS IN

[01:30:02]

A STATEWIDE MANDATE. I KNOW SOMEONE MENTIONED THAT GOVERNOR HOGAN TOOK OFF ALL EMERGENCY RESTRICTIONS AND THAT BUT MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT MASKS ARE STATE MANDATED. STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION MADE THAT AND IT HAD TO BE VALIDATED BY THE LEGISLATURE, WHICH HAPPENED. SO AT THIS TIME MASKS OUR MANDATE IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN MARYLAND. LEAVE. MAYBE MR SPICER CAN CLARIFY OR MISS RIDGEWAY INN. THE WAY THAT STATE BOARD PUT FORTH THAT ORDER. FOR 180 DAYS.

AS LONG AS THEY CAN DO A TEMPORARY ORDER OF THAT NATURE. NO, I DON'T BELIEVE THAT. THEY INDICATED IN THAT ORDER THAT THERE WOULD BE AN EARLIER STOP TIMER. THERE ACTUALLY ISN'T A MECHANISM WITHIN THAT ORDER. SHORTEN THE TIME SO I THINK THEY LEFT IT AT 180. THAT'S CURRENTLY THE EXPECTATION NOW, I THINK. THINGS CHANGED DRAMATICALLY AND GUIDANCE, PARTICULARLY FROM MGH CHANGES DRAMATICALLY THAT YOU KNOW THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THEY MAY REVISIT AND PURELY CONJECTURE. MR SPICER, I THINK TO ADD SUMMARY. THE STATE BOARD COULD.

REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF TIME THE LESS THAN TWO LESS THAN 100 AND 80 DAYS IF IT WAS SO.

APPROPRIATE BASED ON THE NUMBERS. RIGHT NOW. THE REGULATION IS IN PLACE FOR NUMBER 14. THANK YOU. I GUESS THE OTHER THING I'D LIKE TO CLARIFY IS THAT. UM THEY SOME PEOPLE MENTIONED ABOUT THE VACCINES AND ABOUT MANDATING VACCINES, AND THERE'S NO PLANS THAT WE'RE AWARE OF AT THIS TIME FOR ANY VACCINE. YEAH, WE'RE NOT A DISCUSSIONS FOR VACCINE MANDATES. IT'S BEEN MY POSITION. AND I THINK I'VE SAID THIS PUBLICLY MANY TIMES THAT.

I DO BELIEVE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IF IT'S GOING TO COME AND SHOULD COME, AT LEAST AT THE STATE LEVEL. AND UM, NOW AGAIN, THERE'S DIFFERENT TYPES OF VACCINE MANDATES IS FOR EMPLOYEES. THERE'S FOR STUDENTS THERE'S ALL OF THAT. I KNOW THERE'S BEEN QUESTIONS ABOUT MANDATES FOR THE NEW. YOU KNOW YOUNGER STUDENTS 5 TO 11 AGAIN. I HEARD THAT QUESTION ASKED. IN FACT, ASKED BY A SUPERINTENDENT OF DR CHAN, WHO'S A INTERIM DIRECTOR OF THE MARYLAND APARTMENT HEALTH. AND HER RESPONSE. READ INTO WHAT YOU WILL. BUT SHE SAID, YOU KNOW, DISCUSSION OF VACCINE MANDATES FOR FRAGILE 11 YEAR OLDS AT THIS UM. I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY INDICATION THAT THE STATE IS PREPARING TO MAKE SUCH A MANDATE. THIS BOARD. WE HAVE NOT DISCUSSED SUCH A MANDATE. EITHER UM SO AT THIS POINT, ANY RUMORS OF SUCH A THING? AT THIS POINT ARE MERELY RUMORS. BUT AGAIN. IF THAT CHANGES AT THE STATE LEVEL, IT WILL BE ONE.

ANOTHER DIFFICULT QUESTION THAT WE WILL HAVE TO ADDRESS THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE ANY OTHER

[G. Presentation on Superintendent's Recommendation to the Board of Education for Balancing Enrollment, Dr. Sean Bulson, Superintendent of Schools, Mr. Cornell Brown, Assistant Superintendent of Operations, Mr. Chris Morton, Supervisor of Planning and Construction, Mrs. Missy Valentino, Facilities Planner]

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, JEREMY. ALL RIGHT. I'LL LET YOU DRIVE FROM. BOTH SCREENS. OKAY. GOOD EVENING. UM. SO I'M BACK AND FOR YOU THIS EVENING WITH FINAL RECOMMENDATION AS YOU'LL RECALL IN SEPTEMBER I FORWARDED TO YOU RECOMMENDATION FOR THE BALANCING ENROLLMENT. AND WE DID TO PUBLIC PROCESSION. SORRY THREE PUBLICAN PROCESSIONS ON THIS PARTICULAR TOPIC. SOUGHT FEEDBACK FROM THE COMMUNITY ON THE LATEST RECOMMENDATIONS, OR.

TO MEET ONE ADJUSTMENT TO THIS RECOMMENDATION. BASED ON THAT FEEDBACK, I'LL HIGHLIGHT THAT THIS EVENING. OTHERWISE, THE BACK TO VERY BRIEFLY WALKED THROUGH THE DETAILS IN THIS PRESENTATION. SO WE HAVE FOUR BASIC RECOMMENDATIONS AS A PART OF MY RECOMMENDATION TO YOU BOARD AND OF COURSE YOU WILL BE TAKING IT FROM HERE. THE ADDICT THAT. REASON FOR DOING THIS AT ALL WAS TO ADDRESS INCREASING ENROLLMENT INCREASING SPECIALISTS SPECIAL EDUCATION NEEDS IN OUR BUILDING. INCREASING PRESSURE OF PRE KINDERGARTEN ENROLLMENT AND THE FULL DAY PROGRAMS, WHICH ARE PART OF. WHAT'S COMING TO US FROM THE KERWIN LEGISLATION OR THE BLUEPRINT. AND THEN, OF COURSE, GENERALLY TO ADDRESS THE OVERCROWDING OF SCHOOLS IN THE COUNTY, PARTICULARLY THOSE WITHIN THE GROWTH ENVELOPE. SO ONE OF THE. POLICIES THAT WE HAVE TO ADDRESS IS THERE IS A UH, ORDINANCE THE ADEQUATE PUBLIC FACILITIES WHERE ORDINANCE WHICH FOR HARPER COUNTY SAYS. SCHOOLS PROJECTED TO BE AT 110% OF STATE RATED CAPACITY. WITHIN THREE YEARS THAN THAT. THEATER PATTERN THAT GEOGRAPHIC FEEDER PATTERN FOR

[01:40:05]

WE HAVE FOUR RECOMMENDATIONS COMING FORWARD AGAIN. THIS IS SIMILAR TO WHAT I PRESENTED. IN SEPTEMBER. AND THEN THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH THE PRESENTATION. THAT WE DID AT THE THREE BALANCING ROLE AND INPUT SESSIONS. ONE RECOMMENDATION TO ADDRESS MIDDLE SCHOOL CAPACITY, THE SECOND TO ADDRESS ELEMENTARY CAPACITY. A THIRD TO LOOK AT PLANS FOR FUTURE GROWTH AND THEN FINALLY TO FOCUS ON SOME POLICY PROCEDURES TO MAKE ADDRESSING BOUNDARIES A LITTLE BIT EASIER IN THE LONG TERM. LET'S MOVE ON TO RECOMMENDATION ONE. THIS IS THE RECOMMENDATION. TO MOVE. SMALL NUMBER OF STUDENTS IF YOU CAN SEE ON THE SCREEN THERE. IN THE TOP LEFT IN THE TOP RIGHT THOSE SHADED AREAS. THOSE ARE STUDENTS WHO ARE CURRENTLY IN THE BEL AIR MIDDLE SCHOOL IN BELLAIRE HIGH SCHOOL THEATER CATCHMENT AREA. AND THE PROPOSAL DOES MOVE. STUDENTS IN THOSE AREAS. OVER TO EITHER FALSE AND MIDDLE SCHOOL IN BOSTON HIGH SCHOOL OR ON THE OTHER SIDE TO SOUTHAMPTON MIDDLE SCHOOL AND C. MILTON WRIGHT HIGH SCHOOL. UM. TO GET THE RECOMMENDATIONS HERE. THE DETAILS. YOU'VE SEEN THIS BEFORE, SO I WON'T GO THROUGH THE NUMBERS. BUT THESE HELP US ADDRESS BOTH THE ENROLLMENT IN BEL AIR AT THE MIDDLE OF HIGH SCHOOL. AND WE HAVE STRATEGY FOR ENSURING THAT. THAT WORKS AT THE OTHER SCHOOLS THAT ARE RECEIVING THE NEXT SLIDE.

ALRIGHT MINIMIZE IMPACT OF FALSE AND SCHOOL CAPACITY, ONE OF THE ONE OF THE MAJOR CONCERNS. I KNOW THERE WERE INITIAL RECOMMENDATIONS TO MOVE SOME STUDENTS FROM PFOSTEN BOTH TO THE NORTH HARFORD AREA AND INTO THE JOPPATOWNE AREA. MY RECOMMENDATION DOES NOT INCLUDE THAT ALL OF THE STUDENTS WHO ARE CURRENTLY AT BOSTON WOULD STAY THERE. WITH STUDENTS COMING INTO THE MIDDLE SCHOOL. YEAH. 100% OF THE STUDENTS DO MOVE. THAT COULD POSSIBLY PUT FALSE IN MIDDLE SCHOOL OVERCAPACITY FAIRLY QUICKLY, BUT BECAUSE FALLSTON HIGH SCHOOL HAS SO MUCH EXCESS CAPACITY, AND IT'S NOT. IT'S NOT PROJECTED TO INCREASE DRAMATICALLY. BUT IF IT BECOMES NECESSARY WE COULD ACTUALLY MOVE THE EIGHTH GRADERS FROM BOSTON MIDDLE SCHOOL UP THE HILL TO THE HIGH SCHOOL AND HOUSE AND. I JUST BE DONE BEFORE. AND OF COURSE, WE DO HAVE SITUATIONS WHERE 6 TO 12 GRADERS IN THE SAME BUILDING.

MOST LIKELY IF WE CHOOSE THIS PATH. WELL, MOST LIKELY WE WOULD HAVE A RACE GRADERS, UM, AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL SITE TO BEGIN AND THEN IF ENROLLMENT DOES TAKE US UP ABOVE.

INITIALLY UP ABOVE THAT PUBLIC FACILITIES ORIGINS, THEN WE WOULD CONSIDER MAKING THE MOVE.

YEARS AS THE. OKAY THIS WAS A BRIEF ONE TO DO WITH MIDDLE SCHOOLS. WE HAVE ONE SMALL PART OF DEGREES, WHICH IS CURRENTLY. HEGEL TO GO TO HARVARD GRACE THAT'S UNDEVELOPED. CURRENTLY THIS WOULD AFFECT NO EXISTING STUDENTS, BUT NEW DEVELOPMENT OR NEW FAMILIES MOVING INTO THAT AREA. FROM THIS POINT FORWARD BE POINTED TOWARD THE ABERDEEN SCHOOL. THAT'S THE ONLY CHANGE THERE. FILM RECOMMENDATION ONE. OKAY THIS IS THE RECOMMENDATION. SO ONE OF THE OTHER SCHOOLS WE TALKED TO CRAIG QUITE A LOT ABOUT DURING THE BALANCING ENROLLMENT CRACKED PROCESS. WAS PATERSON MILK BECAUSE WE HIT WITH THE. GRADE SIX THROUGH 12 SCHOOL

[01:45:03]

THAT HAS TO HAPPEN WITHIN THE SCHOOL. TO ACCOMMODATE THE LARGER NUMBER OF MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS. BUT AGAIN, THE HIGH SCHOOL HAS ADDED. WE'RE NOW IN RECOMMENDATION TO THIS IS TO BUILD A COMBINED SPECIAL EDUCATION, ELEMENTARY EDUCATION FACILITIES, SO BOARD YOU RECENTLY. PROVED THE CAMPUS HILL SITE AS THE SITE FOR THE REPLACEMENT SCHOOL FOR JOHN.

THAT SCHOOL IS CURRENTLY ON OUR CAPITAL. SCHEDULE. TO BE. SECOND SCHOOL IN LINE WE'RE DOING HOMESTEAD WAKEFIELD BEGINNING CONSTRUCTION NEXT YEAR. TWO YEARS FOR THAT PROCESS, AND THEN. WE HAD PLANNED TO DO THE JOHN ARCHER REPLACEMENT SCHOOL WHEN THAT ENDS IN NOW, 2.5 YEARS. THIS RECOMMENDATION IS THAT WE WILL CALL IT LOCATE AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ON THE SITE WITH THE JOHN ARCHER SCHOOL. THIS WOULD ALLOW THE. COUNTY TO STAY ON THE ONE PROJECT AT A TIME PRACTICED. THIS IS WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING FOR MANY YEARS HERE, WHERE WE REALLY ONLY WORK ON ONE MAJOR PROJECT AT A TIME. YOU KNOW, WE TALKED TO THE COUNTY ABOUT THIS. I SEEM COMFORTABLE WITH THE IDEA THAT THIS WOULD STILL REMAIN ONE PROJECT, ALBEIT LARGER, MORE EXPENSIVE. ONE. UM, BUT WE'D BE ABLE TO STAY ON SCHEDULE TO ADD THAT L A METRIC CAPACITY IN ADDITION TO HAVING A JOHN ARTERY SCHOOL REBUILT, AND THIS BRINGS THE ADDED BENEFIT OF. HAVING THE SPECIAL EDUCATION PROGRAM LOCATED NEAR A SCHOOL WOULD NOT DISABLED PEERS. THAT IS ONE THING IN HER AND OUR SPECIAL ED PRACTICES THAT WE LIKE TO HAVE OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS TO INTERACT WITH NON DISABLED PEERS. THIS WOULD ALLOW THAT TO OCCUR SO THAT IT'S AN ADDITIONAL PROGRAMMATIC. YOU HAVE THOSE SCHOOLS LOCATED THERE, SO IT WORKS ON MANY LEVELS. NEXT ELEMENTARY BOUNDARY ADJUSTMENTS AND SO OBVIOUSLY SOME OF THE MOST ENERGETIC FEEDBACK AND UNDERSTANDABLY SO. CONCERNS ABOUT MOVING STUDENTS DURING COVID WAS SOMETHING WE HEARD ABOUT A GREAT DEAL DURING THE BALANCING ENROLLMENT PROCESS. UM. IDEA OF MOVING SO MANY STUDENTS. THIS POINT AND THEN TO TURN AROUND AND MOVE THEM ALL AGAIN AND FOUR YEARS WHEN WE HAVE TO ADJUST THE BOUNDARIES TO MOVE STUDENTS INTO A NEW FACILITY. THE RECOMMENDATION THAT ALL OF THE ELEMENTARY MOVE SPEED DEFERRED FOUR YEARS 4.5 YEARS. ON THE BOARD WOULD ACTUALLY HAVE TO REVISIT AROUND THIS TIME IN FOUR YEARS. TO SET. NEW BOUNDARIES FOR THE AS WE FILL THE NEW ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, SO THERE WOULD BE A LOT OF CHANGING LIKELY TO OCCUR. THEN WE HAVE THOSE TRAPS CHANGES. IN PLACE NOW FROM THE BALANCING ROLE ADVISORY BOARD. BUT OF COURSE, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO REVISIT EVERYTHING WITH THE CURRENT ENROLLMENT AT THAT TIME. AND THERE'LL BE SOME ADJUSTMENTS, BUT. AT THIS POINT OUR INTENTION IS TO REQUIRED NO ELEMENTARY STUDENTS TO MOVE IN THE UPCOMING SCHOOL YEAR THAT WILL BE DEFERRED. 2020. BRINGS US TO RECOMMENDATIONS. THREE. THE RECOMMENDATION HERE. THE COUNTY ACQUIRE PROPERTY TO PLAN FOR FUTURE GROWTH. UM. OUR ABILITY TO MAKE A RECOMMENDATION NOW FOR THE CAMPUS HILL SITE, WHERE, YOU KNOW, BENEFITED FROM THE FACT THAT THERE WAS A PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT THE COUNTY ALREADY OWNED SOMETHING. INVESTMENT IN MANY YEARS AGO, WE HAD THE PROPERTY WHEN THERE WAS A DECISION BETWEEN THE CURRENT RED PUMP FACILITY, AND THEN THERE WAS ALSO POSSIBLY SOME PLANS TO OPEN A SCHOOL. THEM. ULTIMATELY THAT DIDN'T OCCUR FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS. FACT THAT WE HAD THAT PROPERTY AVAILABLE CERTAINLY MADE COMING UP WITH MORE REASONABLE SOLUTION HERE. RECOMMENDATIONS, SO. FEEL LIKE THE COUNTY SHOULD BEGIN NOW LOOKING AT ACQUIRING PROPERTY, PARTICULARLY TO SERVE THE HARVARD DEGREES AREA. WE KNOW THAT'S NOT AN EASY QUESTION. PROPERTY LARGE ENOUGH TO SUPPORT ADDITIONAL SCHOOL IS CHALLENGING TO FIND IN A VERY. DENSE AREA KNOWING THAT. WHILE WE SEE AND WHAT THIS SLIDE DOESN'T LET YOU KIND OF LOOK AT THE SUN YOUR OWN. IT'S ON OUR WEBSITE. BASICALLY INDICATES THAT THE CURRENT PLAN. DEVELOPMENT IN HARVARD DEGREES WOULD PUT EVERY SINGLE ONE OF OUR SCHOOLS OVERCAPACITY IF IT STAYS ON AS. WE DON'T ADD SEATS SOMEWHERE TO SERVE THAT

STOP. AFTER THE WILLIAM PACA OLD POST. PLAN, WHICH IS. THIRD ONE IN LINE. SO IN FACT, RIGHT NOW WE ONLY HAVE THREE SCHOOLS IN LINE FOR THE MAJOR CAPITAL PROJECTS. NOT THAT WE DON'T HAVE MORE SCHOOLS THAT NEED IT. BUT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE ROLL OUT A LITTLE BIT OF TIME BECAUSE WE'RE LOOKING AT THE MOST ACUTE NEED. SO. JUST TO SUMMARIZE THIS HOMESTEAD.

WAKEFIELD WILL BEGIN CONSTRUCTION AND THE NEXT SCHOOL YEAR. WELL, THAT WOULD BE FOLLOWED. PLANNING AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE JOHN ARCHER CAMPUS HILL SITES WITH.

PROPOSAL PASSES WITH NEW ELEMENTARY SITE. THIRD IN LINE IS THE WILLIAM PACKED OLD POST.

SITE WHERE WE WOULD BEGIN PLANNING TO DESIGN A BUILDING FOR THAT LOCATION. AND THAT WILL WORK WHAT WE'RE RECOMMENDING HERE IN RECOMMENDATION THREE. BELLER MIDDLE SCHOOL. MAJOR. BOTH IN ADDITION AND A MODERNIZATION OF THAT BUILDING, IT'S QUITE AN OLD BUILDING. COURSE THAT'S AN AREA WHERE WE STILL SEE DEVELOPMENT PRESSURE CONTINUING LIKELY TO ADD NEED FOR MORSI. AND THAT TAKES US TO FOURTH RECOMMENDATION. FIRST PART OF RECOMMENDATION FOR IS CONSIDER HOW WE. TO BOUNDARY EXCEPTIONS OR HOW WE ALLOW BOUNDARY.

CURRENTLY ALL BOUNDARY. EXCEPTIONS STARTED THE SCHOOL LEVEL AT THE SCHOOL OF PROVES THAT THERE'S NO CENTRAL DISCUSSION OF THAT. WE LIKE TO LEAVE THAT AUTHORITY WITH THE LOCAL SCHOOL TO MAKE DECISIONS FOR FAMILIES WHO WANT INTO THE BUILDING. THAT BEING SAID WHEN A SCHOOL REACHES 90% CAPACITY. 99% CAPACITY LINE, IN OTHER WORDS, WHERE THEY'RE RIGHT ON THE VERGE OF GOING OVER CAPACITY. WE'D LIKE TO SUGGEST THAT OUR PRACTICE CHANGED THAT THERE ALSO BE A CENTRAL REVIEW. BECAUSE IN THE END, THE BALANCING ENROLLMENT PROCESS IS A DISTRICT LEVEL PROCESS. ALL OF THE SCHOOLS. AND WE FEEL THE NEED TO TAKE SOME OWNERSHIP IF THE SCHOOL IS AT RISK. OH, THAT'S SO THAT WOULD BE AN ADJUSTMENT TO HER BOUNDARY EXCEPTION PROCESS. THIS IS WHERE ON THIS PAGE. SORRY THIS IS ELEMENTARY. NO, THAT'S THE NEXT PAGE WHERE THE CHANGE. SO GRANDFATHER AND GRANDFATHER RING WAS SIGNIFICANT CONCERN.

YOU KNOW THE IDEA THAT IF STUDENTS STARTED IN A SCHOOL. THEY WOULD BE ALLOWED TO REMAIN IN THAT SCHOOL. NOW ONE OF THE KEY ELEMENTS OF THIS AND WE PUT IT RIGHT AT THE TOP OF THE SLIDE HERE. IS THAT IF A STUDENT. FAMILY CHOOSES TO LEAVE A STUDENT IN A SCHOOL THAT HAS BEEN. REDISTRICTED TO ANOTHER BUILDING. IN OTHER WORDS, SO ONE COMMUNITY HAS POINTED TOWARD ANOTHER BUILDING. WE'RE ONLY WE ONLY PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION TO THE BUILDING. THAT NEIGHBORHOOD IS ASSIGNED TO, HOWEVER. FAMILY CHOOSES TO REMAIN AT THE SCHOOL, THEY WOULD HAVE TO PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION. SO FOR THE NEW SCHOOLS. WHAT WE'RE RECOMMENDING IS THAT ALL STUDENTS ENROLLED AS OF JUNE 2026. WHICH IS THE JUNE PRIOR TO THE BEGINNING OF THE SCHOOL YEAR WHEN THE SCHOOL OPENED. WITH AN ACTIVE ADDRESS WITHIN THE NEW SCHOOL ATTENDANCE AREA WILL BE ELIGIBLE TO CONTINUE. SAME SCHOOL. IN OTHER WORDS.

STUDENTS WHO ARE IN AN EXISTING ELEMENTARY SCHOOL COULD STAY AT THEIR EXISTING SCHOOL, AND WE'D ALLOW THEM TO KIND OF COME IN OVER TIME AS THEY ATE OUT. UM. THE OTHER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHANGE AREAS. NOT ONE THING I DIDN'T INDICATE BEFORE IS WHILE MANY OF THE ELEMENTARY CHANGES ARE. MANY OF THEM ARE CONNECTED TO THE POTENTIAL FOR A NEW SCHOOL. WE ALSO HAVE SOME LEFTOVER THAT WE'RE REALLY JUST KIND OF CLEANING UP OF THE LINES AND IMPROVING THE BALANCE ACROSS OUR SCHOOLS WITH REGARD TO CAPACITY. AND SO WE DO HAVE SOME ELEMENTARY CHANGES PROPOSED TO HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE NEW SCHOOL. WE HAD THOSE IN PLACE WHEN THE RECOMMENDATION CAME IN JUNE. SO WE MADE THE DECISION THAT WHILE THEY WOULD BE HELPFUL NOW. TO AVOID FURTHER DISRUPTION NOW DURING COVID AND ESSENTIALLY TO GIVE FAMILIES ABOUT A FOUR YEAR HEADS UP ON THIS. THAT THOSE OTHER ELEMENTARY CHANGE AREAS WILL ALSO BE PROPOSED TO CHANGE THE 2026 EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE NOT CONNECTED TO THE NEW SCHOOL. AND THOSE CASES WILL ALLOW STUDENTS ENROLLED IN GREAT FOUR IN THOSE OTHER SCHOOLS TO GRADE FOUR OR FIVE TO YOU KNOW, GRANDFATHER IF THEY CHOOSE OTHER OTHER STUDENTS WILL HAVE TO MOVE FROM THOSE COMMUNITIES. AND THEN, BUT WE ALSO HAVE A YOUNGER SIBLINGS. PART WHICH IS ANY

[01:55:06]

GRANDFATHER IN WELL. SO THE LAST PART OF GRANDFATHERING IN THIS SYSTEM MIDDLE AND HIGH.

THIS WAS THE CHANGE THAT EMERGED FROM THE. PUBLIC INPUT AT THE AFTER BALANCING ENROLLMENT SESSION. IS ORIGINALLY WHAT WE HAD SAID, IS. RISING EIGHTH GRADERS WOULD BE ALLOWED TO STAY. CURRENTLY ASSIGNED SCHOOL AND IN THIS CASE, IT'S ONLY BELLER MIDDLE SCHOOL. IT'S AFFECTED SO. RISING EIGHTH GRADERS AT BEL AIR WITH OUR ORIGINAL PLAN. AND WHAT WE'VE DONE HERE IS BASICALLY SAID STUDENTS WHO WERE ENROLLED IN BEL AIR. THIS YEAR. CHOOSE TO GRANDFATHER BACK INTO BEL AIR, EITHER MIDDLE OR HIGH THEY CAN DO SO, UM. BASICALLY THAT ADDS SEVENTH GRADE SO CURRENT. COMMON SIXTH GRADE STUDENTS IF THEY CHOOSE TO STAY AT BEL AIR FOR 7TH AND 8TH, THEY CAN DO THAT. UM AND. THERE IS ALSO THE ADDITIONAL EXCEPTION FOR SIBLINGS. IF THEY HAVE AN OLDER STUDENT IN THE SCHOOL, THEY CAN GRANDFATHER INTO THAT FEEDER PATTERN AS WELL. SO THAT WAS THE ADDITION. SO. BASICALLY WHAT THIS MEANS IS NO STUDENT CURRENTLY ENROLLED AT FELLER MIDDLE SCHOOL WOULD HAVE TO MOVE UNDER THIS PROVISION IF THEY CHOSE NOT THEY WOULD JUST HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE GRANDFATHER AND TEETH. AND THEN THEY WOULD HAVE TO PROVIDE THEIR OWN TRANSPORTATION. BUT IF THEY WANT TO STAY IN THE SCHOOL WHERE THEY BEGAN THIS YEAR, THEY CAN DO THAT. THAT IS THE RECOMMENDATION THAT'S ADJUSTMENT. MORE. YES, I'M SORRY. THERE WAS ONE MORE MM.

ADDITIONAL THING HERE FOR MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO RIGHT NOW. WE DON'T HAVE A MECHANISM IN BOARD POLICY TO ALLOW MINOR BOUNDARY. SO WE REALLY CAN'T DO THIS ON THE FLY AND CLEAN UP, MAYBE SOME OF THE SMALLER ONES THAT BECOME URGENT ISSUE. SO WE WOULD RECOMMEND THAT RATHER THAN NEED TO GO INTO A FULL BOUNDARY ADJUSTMENT PROCESS. THAT WE MAKE SOME ADJUSTMENTS TO OUR POLICY TO ALLOW FOR SMALLER DECISIONS TO BE MADE ALONG THE WAY. HOPEFULLY THAT WOULD HELP US AVOID THE WHOLE BIG PROCESS WE WENT THROUGH THIS YEAR. AND THEN THIS IS SORT OF BRINGING IT TO A CLOSE. THIS IS REALLY THE TIMELINE FOR ROLLING THESE RECOMMENDATIONS OUT. BEING INDICATED THAT WE IMPLEMENT THE BEL AIR MIDDLE CHANGES. I DIDN'T SAY THIS.

EARLIER. THE HIGH SCHOOL CHANGES, THOSE STUDENTS POINTED TOWARD BELLER HIGH SCHOOL, OR, UH, FEMALE RIGHT HIGH SCHOOL. IF THEY CHOOSE. THEY'RE ALL ELIGIBLE FOR GRANDFATHER AND BACK INTO THE CURRENTLY ENROLLED SCHOOL. ALSO UM. BOARD THIS IS NOW BACK TO YOU. YOU HAVE BETWEEN NOW AND FEBRUARY TO GATHER SOME INPUT. CAN'T. THEN YOU NEED TO VOTE BY FEBRUARY, UM OF THIS UPCOMING YEAR. TWO. PUT THESE IN THE PLACE. AND THEN. IN THE SOUTH QUINT YEAR. WE GET INTO THE FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR THE NEW BUILDING. THEN WE START THE DESIGN THAT WE MOVE ON TO CONSTRUCTION IN JUNE OF 2024. WITH THE IDEA THAT IN FEBRUARY 2026 YOU WILL BE BACK HERE TO, UM MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT FUTURE BOUNDARIES. WE INCORPORATE THE NEW SCHOOL INTO THAT. AND THEN FINALLY, IN SEPTEMBER 2026. WE WOULD OPEN THAT COMBINED FACILITIES. THE LAST LINE. SO. BOARD THAT IS THE FINAL RECOMMENDATION WITH REGARD TO BALANCING ENROLLMENT WE'VE HAD. PRETTY MINIMAL FEEDBACK. I THINK AGAIN FROM THE FEEDBACK SESSIONS. THE ONE HARDEST QUESTION WAS. WHETHER WE SHOULD ALLOW ANY GRANDFATHER AND ALL THE STUDENTS A FELLER MIDDLE AND I THINK IT SEEMS VERY REASONABLE TO CONSIDER THAT. SO THAT WAS THE ONE CHANGED OTHERWISE THE RECOMMENDATIONS YOU'VE SEEN ANY QUESTION.

GREAT. HAROLD ANY QUESTION? HELLO, BOYS. PRINT. I DON'T THINK I HAVE A QUESTION. UM, CERTAINLY. VERY THIS. THIS REALLY ENCOMPASSES. UM. MHM MOST OF THE FEEDBACK THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED. I THINK IT'S A VERY THOUGHTFUL. UM IN FEDERAL OVERVIEW. AND ARTICULATION OF UM. YOU KNOW THE NEEDS OF OUR FAMILIES AND THE RESPONSIBILITY THAT WE HAVE TO CONSIDER REDISTRICTING. UM WOW. THIS POINT. I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. I AM TAKING IT ALL IN. UM I TOOK A FEW NOTES. BUT, UM. DR TOLSON. THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION, AND I'M SURE I'LL HAVE SOME QUESTIONS. UM IF I THINK OF ANY HOW WOULD YOU KNOW? THANK YOU. GREEN. MISS KELLY. ANY QUESTIONS? ANGRY WITH DR HAROLD. THANK YOU. VERY DETAILED. I NEED TO KIND OF GO

[02:00:02]

COMMENTS MADE BY DR PHILIP AND DR HAROLD I THINK THAT. YES PRESENTATION. HAVE ACTUALLY GET.

ANSWERED MOST OF THE QUESTIONS THAT CONCERN THAT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION. I WANT TO HAVE TO DO SOME FURTHER RESEARCH AND REACH OUT TO MY CONSTITUENTS OR SITUATIONS TO DETERMINE IF.

WHAT THEIR FEELINGS ARE REGARDING THIS, BUT I THINK DR BOTH, AND YOU DID. LISTEN, I APPRECIATE. ALL RIGHT, DR BAUER. I HAVE NO QUESTIONS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

GRANDFATHER AND STAY AT THE SAME SCHOOL. IS IT POSSIBLE THAT TRANSPORTATION TO. LIKELY, UM. AGAIN I MEAN, WE CAN ALWAYS WE CAN ALWAYS RE EVALUATE. UM BUT I DON'T KNOW. I MEAN, BEING ABLE TO DOUBLE UP ON THE TRANSPORTATION. THAT'S ALWAYS SOMETHING THAT THE CHALLENGE.

WE TRY TO DO PROBLEM SOLVING ADDRESS WHERE WE CAN FOR PEOPLE, UM BUT ONE OF THE OTHER ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS HERE WITH THIS CHANGE. AS AREAS ARE MANY WAYS CLOSER TO THE SCHOOLS POINTED TOUR. REALLY? PROVIDE INTEREST POSITION AT THIS POINT ISN'T SOMETHING WE CONSIDER.

BUT IF WE SAW THIS NUMBERS, IN THEIR WORDS, AN ACUTE NEED. DO PROBLEM SOLVING. WE ADDRESS THINGS ALL THE TIME. BUT I AT THIS POINT, I WOULD MITT. I GUESS I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT I DO APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT YOU DID SOME CREATIVE PROBLEM SOLVING HERE IN. LOOKING AT THE CONVICT COMBINING OF THE MIDDLE SCHOOLS AND HIGH SCHOOLS IN ORDER TO GET THE NUMBERS DOWN IN THOSE AREAS. I THINK THAT THIS ADDRESS IS MOST OF THE ISSUES THAT PEOPLE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT. AND I APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT YOU PUT INTO THIS. QUESTIONS THEY WILL HAVE HER STAY THAT IF WE ARE NOW TURNING IT OVER TO THE BOARD, IT'S PROBABLY APPROPRIATE TO MENTION THAT WE WILL BE HAVING SOME REPUBLICAN PUT QUESTIONS WITH THE BOARD.

TO HEAR HOW EVERYBODY ELSE FEELS ABOUT THIS. CAPITAL I'M SORRY, THE BALANCING ENROLLMENT AND WHERE IT STANDS. BE HAVING A COUPLE OF THEM BETWEEN THIS EMBER. I BELIEVE I'M KIND OF LOOKING AT MISS RALLO. I THINK WE HAD ONE FOR DECEMBER ALREADY ON THE BOOK. AND THEN PROBABLY AT LEAST ONE OTHER ONE IN JANUARY BEFORE WE VOTE IN FEBRUARY. AND WITH THAT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I KNOW THAT HOURS AND HOURS. DAYS OF TIME WENT INTO THIS AND PEOPLE WERE OUT DRIVING AROUND AND OUR SENIOR STAFF WAS IN ON THIS AND WE HAD. PITA MEMBERS AND PARENTS IN ON IT AND ALSO DRIVING AROUND AND SHOWING US AROUND AND THINGS LIKE THAT,
