          COVERED. MASKS QUARANTINE BACK. FIRST OF ALL. PORT. FALLS WELL WITHIN. VERY COMFORTABLE 
          [00:07:20]
FOLLOWING THOSE GUIDELINES. MASK OF CONCERN. HIGHER AUTHORITY THAN THIS BOARD. A LITTLE BIT OF VACCINES IN GENERAL. HEALTHCARE STAND. POTENTIAL. NOT ME. READY. HERE. 
          SOMETHING. WANTED TO SPEAK TO HEALTH CARE MAN. DON'T WE DEAL WITH HEALTH CARE? WE DEAL WITH RISK FACTOR REDUCTION. MY SUBSPECIALTY IS ENDOCRINOLOGY. BT'S PRIMARILY AUSTIN PROCESS. 
          AND WHEN I SEE SOMETHING WITH DIABETES I TELL THEM THAT CONTROLLING THEIR BLOOD SUGAR. 
          GOING TO REDUCE THE RISK OF THEM LOSING THEIR EYESIGHT. TO REDUCE THE RISK. LOSING KIDNEY FUND. OWING TO REDUCE THE RISK OF AMPUTATION. GOING TO PREVENT IT. GLUCOSE CONTROL REDUCE THOSE RISKS. BACK GLUCOSE CONTROL. INCREASES THE RISK. PATIENTS WHO HAVE HORRIBLE CONTROL WITH NO COMPLICATIONS IN PATIENTS WITH GOOD CONTROL IN SOME COMPLICATIONS. 
          OSTEOPOROSIS. MEDICATIONS THAT PEOPLE TAKE CROSS THE A PROCESS REDUCE THE RISK OF FRACTURE. 
          DOESN'T PREVENT FRACTURES. SO ALL WE'RE DOING IS PRACTICING RISK FACTOR REDUCTION. WITH MASKS AND VACCINES WITH PRACTICING RISK FACTOR REDUCTION. WE DO KNOW MASK REDUCE TRANSMISSION. IT DOESN'T PREVENT TRANSMISSION. WE KNOW THAT VACCINES REDUCE SEVERE ELEMENTS. WE KNOW THE VACCINES. REDUCE THE RISK OF DEATH. IT DOESN'T PREVENT. BUT WHEN YOU COMBINE VACCINATIONS AND BASKING. WE HAVE AS MANY STRATEGIES THAT WE AS WE HAVE AVAILABLE TO US TODAY. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PASSING COVID FROM ONE PERSON TO ANOTHER. AND REDUCING SERIOUS ILLNESS AND DEATH. IF YOU LOOK AT. ALL THE HOSPITALIZATIONS. 
          YOU WALK INTO ANY HOSPITAL THIS COUNTRY RIGHT NOW, THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF THOSE PEOPLE IN THE HOSPITAL. HAVE NOT BEEN VACCINATED THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF THOSE DEATH CERTIFICATES. WHERE PEOPLE HAVE DIED FROM COVID HAVE NOT BEEN BACK. SOMEONE IN THE AUDIENCE IS SHAKING THEIR HEAD. NO, BUT LOOK AT THE STATISTICS. ANOTHER POINT. JUST 
          [00:10:06]
ANOTHER STATISTICAL POINT SEATBELTS. OKAY, WE ALL WEAR SEATBELTS LEAST HOPEFULLY WHEN WE DRIVE. BEGIN TO AN ACCENT FROM THE SEAT BELT WITH THE SEAT BELT. WE HOPE IT REDUCES THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY AND DEATH. DOESN'T ABSOLUTELY PREVENT. HELMETS FOR MOTORCYCLE RIDERS, SAME THING AND REDUCE THE RISK WHEN I WAS A FELLOW BACK IN THE YEAR. EARLY EIGHTIES. NOW UNIVERSITY I DID MY RESEARCH PROJECT INVOLVED PATIENTS AND SHOCK TRAUMA. AND THIS IS BEFORE THE HELMET REQUIREMENTS WERE PRESENT IN THE STATE OF MARYLAND. AND THAT THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF THOSE FOLKS THAT CAME INTO THE INTO A SHOCK TRAUMA BACK THEN. 
          FROM MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENTS WERE NOT TELL ME. SO ONE OF THE COMMENTS THAT WE'VE GOTTEN EMAILS HAVE BEEN, UM STATEMENT THAT WAS MADE BY THE CDC DIRECTOR, DR WOLINSKI WHO ARE INDICATED THAT. VACCINES DON'T PREVENT TRANSMISSION. HOWEVER WITH ALL THE EMAILS THAT WE'VE GOTTEN, INCLUDING A LETTER FROM A COUPLE OF ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES. THEY FAILED TO READ OR FAIL TO INDICATE THE REST OF THAT STATEMENT. PRETTY MUCH SAD. REDUCES THE RISK OF SEVERE ILLNESS AND REDUCES THE RISK OF DEATH AND THEREFORE WAS HIGHLY RECOMMEND. THE BOTTOM LINE IS. LISTEN WE DO WANT TO ENGAGE IN MEANINGFUL DIALOGUE WITH EVERYBODY. BUT KEEP IN MIND THAT WHEN WE LOOK AT WHERE IT'S TREATING RISK FACTORS, WHICH WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE REDUCING AS MANY RISK FACTORS. AS WE POSSIBLY CAN. ONE MORE STATEMENT TO WOULD LIKE TO TAKE A BRIEF MOMENT. IN ADVANCE OF VETERANS DAY COMING UP ON THURSDAY. AND THE BIRTHDAY OF THE U. S MARINE CORPS ON WEDNESDAY. FACT THAT MANY VETERANS IN PARKER COUNTY MARYLAND AND THE REST OF THE COUNTRY, FOR THAT MATTER. SERVICE AND THE GREAT NATION OF OURS. AND A SPECIAL RECOGNITION TO THE MANY GOLD STAR FAMILIES OUT THERE LIVING AMONG THEIR LOVED ONES SACRIFICE. THE LATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. WE MAY NOT KNOW MANY OF THOSE BY NAME THEY WILL FOREVER LIVE IN OUR HEART. IN THIS REGARD. 
          A BIT FULL. I HAVE NO COMMENT. ME. WANT TO REMIND EVERYBODY TODAY IS THE START OF THE SECOND QUARTER, SO. AND YOU DIDN'T LIKE YOUR GRAVES. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR. AND YOUR FOLKS AND LOOKING AT YOUR STUFF ON ITS LEARNING AND TALKING TO YOUR TEACHER. UM THE DEADLINE FOR THE MAGNET APPLICATIONS IS COMING UP. YOU HAVE A LITTLE BIT LESS THAN A MONTH. OR OUR EIGHTH GRADERS GOING INTO NINTH GRADE. AND I ALSO WANT REITERATE WHAT ARE ANY BETTER? VERY PROUD NEED OF AN AIRPORT. RETIREE WHO I AM. THEY JUST DON'T MAKE THEM ANY BETTER THAN MY. AND WE ARE VERY PROUD OF HIS SERVICE AND MY UNCLE MIKE. 
          [00:15:01]
PREACH. UM WILL. IT WILL BESECR. REMOTE SPEAKERS WILL PROCEED NEXT. THERE WILL BE ADMITTED TO 
          [B. Public Comments ]
THE MEETING BY AN HCPS DEATH NUMBER ONE AND IT'S THEIR TURN TO SPEAK. THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK. EIGHT THAT ARE REGISTERED ONLINE. SPEAKERS MAY BE INTERRUPTED AND WE GIVE. THE SINGING. WE HAVE MR BENJAMIN HAIDER, FOLLOWED BY A TINA GRAPH. GOOD EVENING. ALREADY. 
          CORRECT YOU ARE ACTUALLY IMPLEMENTED A MASK MANDATE PRIOR. WIRED. FACT HE DID NOT HOLD IT THERE. BOTH FREE REIGN THERE. HEALTH AND SAFETY, NOT TODAY. PROBLEM THAT YOU NEVER. 
          DUCK. I REALLY DON'T CARE IF YOUR DOCTOR YOUR WINDOW WASHER. BOTTOM LINE. GUESS WHAT PRINCIPLES DRIVE HIS POLICIES, SAFETY AND. IRONICALLY HE SAID, I BELIEVE THAT SCHOOL STATES IN PRIORITY. CLOSE RISK ANALYSIS, NOT HERE. HERE CANNOT. PRIMARY DRIVER OF POLICY. YOUR MOM GREEN, RIGHT? FIRST AND. THE SHARK. EVEN MORE COMICAL. PUBLIC INFORMATION ACT, WHEREAS I REQUESTED ALL CLINICAL DATA. DETERMINE THE MASS MANDATE PART WAS NOT. DO YOU HURT THE CDC, HOWEVER, THERE'S NOTHING ON RECORD THAT YOU CITED ANY TYPE. MORE SO YOU'RE NOT CONTINUING TO SITE. WHAT'S EVEN MORE INTERESTING IS THAT YOU'RE ASKING PUBLIC COMMENT ABOUT A SCHOOL CALENDAR. BUT YOU'RE NOT ASKING PUBLIC COMMENT ABOUT WEARING MASK. OUR AMBASSADOR IN RESET. ZERO SENSE WHAT AREN'T YOU SOLICITING FROM? MAKING MASS REQUIREMENTS QUARANTINE THE VIRUS. THIS IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE RIGHT HERE. OTHER WE WOULD YOU NEVER TURN AROUND ON THE MASK MANDATE. YOU'RE INTERESTED IN MAKING MONEY OFF. $8 A POP. THIS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IS MAKING MONEY OFF MASS. SO WHY ON EARTH WOULD THE PUBLIC SEEM TO THINK THAT ANY OF YOU WOULD WANT TO REVERSE IT AT THE SCHOOL? HOW OFFICIALLY MAKING MONEY OFF. WHY? WHY? ARE THEY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. TINA BROWN. WE WERE SHUT DOWN. I WROTE CONSISTENTLY. IT SPOKE INTERMITTENTLY. MONTH AFTER MONTH. I LISTEN TO EACH PERSON THERE. OR DEMAND FOR SCHOOLS, TOO. WE DID REOPEN. I REMEMBER THINKING THAT THE BOARD MEETINGS WOULD GO BACK TO NORM. 
          ISSUES THAT SEEM TO PLAGUE US YEAR AFTER YEAR. LIKE GOING BACK TO FIRST MEETING AFTER RIO INTRODUCED ME TO CRITICAL RACE. FOR IT IN OUR LIBRARY. ARE NEVER GOING TO BE HAPPY. FOR A SOLID YEAR, PEOPLE COMPLAINED ABOUT THEIR KIDS NOT BEING IN SCHOOL, AND NOW THEY WERE THREAT. DESPERATELY WANTED THEIR CHILDREN TO BE. THIS YEAR WE GOT A NEW PRINCIPAL AND ALONG WITH SOME VERY NERVOUS EMPLOYEES. SEEN HER. OUR STUDENTS STAFF AND CARRY I'VE 
          [00:20:06]
TRIED TO APPLY EACH DAY WITH EVERY INTERACTION. WE ALSO HAVE RULES AND PROTOCOLS TO FOLLOW, AND WE DON'T ALWAYS AGREE. FOR JOBS HAVE BECOME INCREASINGLY MORE PARENTS TRY TO SABOTAGE OUR. YOU'RE LISTENING, EVEN THOUGH WE VALUE WHAT THEY MAY BE SAID. GETTING BACK TO OUR JUST CAUSE. MORNING APPARENT, APPEARED AT MY DESK, ANGRY AND CONFUSED. HER SICK SON WAS SICK AND ALSO AT A FEW TIMES OVER THE QUARTER. DON'T YOU WANT US TO KEEP OUR KIDS AT HOME? WHEN THEY'RE SICK? SHE ASKED ME. SHE WENT ON TO COMPLAIN, EXPLAINED THAT SHE RECEIVED A THREATENING LETTER ABOUT HIS ABSENCES. DREADED LETTER. WHAT I CALL. HAVE A STANDARD LINE FOR THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE WE RECEIVED SO MUCH. I MUST, HE SAYS. IT'S REQUIRED. MAKE SURE IT'S CORRECT BECAUSE WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES. AND IT'S FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES, ONLY TO MAKE SURE IT'S CORRECT AND THEN JUST THROW IT AWAY. BUT I ALSO FEEL THAT PARENTS WANT TO BE HEARD. AND I WOULD BE REMISS IF I DIDN'T TRY TO ADVOCATE FOR THE ALL THAT, AND I'M ALSO TIRED OF THE CALLS WHEN. HAVE NO IDEA WHO OR HOW TO MAKE A CHANGE WITH THIS REQUIRED LETTER EVEN CONSIDERING SOME OF THE RECENT CHANGES IN OUR BE SOME NICE, FLOWERY LIFE. THANK YOU FOR A LOT. ANY OF. NEXT WEEK, AND MELISSA HAN, FOLLOWED BY KAYLA MARCONNET. I'M HERE TODAY TO SPEAK. THE OR TO BE VACCINATED IN ORDER TO PLAY WINTER AND SPRING SPORT. YOU ARE AWARE SINCE THE MANY OF THE HIGH SCHOOL IS. HE'S WITH NO MANDATORY TESTING REQUIRED, INCLUDING SOME INDOOR SPORTS. NOW AFTER EIGHT MONTHS WITHOUT REQUIRING TESTING AND OR PROOF OF VACCINATION, THE SCHOOL SYSTEM IS CHANGING THE RULES. PLEASE. JUST VACCINATED. RIGHT? VERY INTERESTING. THE VIRUS IT PLAN TO NOT TEST THE BACK. WELL TO THEM. RIGHT? THE ANSWER IS NO. NOT NECESSARY. OUR CHILDREN TO TRAVEL ANYWHERE ALONG. LIKE YOURSELVES. WITHOUT MASKS AND WITHOUT INVASIVE TESTING. AND THEY HAVE FOR THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS, OUR CHILDREN COULD GO TO AMUSEMENT PARKS CONCERTS. PARTIES TURN. AND ANYWHERE IN BETWEEN. DESKS, VACCINATION, VERIFICATION AND TESTING IS NOT REQUIRED. THIS RIDICULOUS REQUIREMENT. OUR CHILDREN'S ALREADY FRAGILE MENTAL STATE WILL YET AGAIN BE PUT AT RISK BECAUSE OF THE DECISIONS THAT YOU AS A BORDER. AND THE THINGS THAT YOU ARE UNNECESSARILY OR CHOOSING TO REQUIRE HEARD THE NATIONAL HEALTH SPORTS PROVIDE POSITIVE EFFECTS FOR CHILDREN. LIKE. OH, AND PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT, LESS ALCOHOL. CITY WHICH HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY IMPORTANT SOCIETY OVER THE YEARS. NOT ONLY FOR THE INDIVIDUAL BUT FOR PUBLIC HEALTH ALSO. LESS PHYSICAL ACTIVITY CAUSES WEIGHT GAIN, WHICH IS IN STRONG FROM OH ACTIVITY AND EXERCISE. BACK. IN PREVENTING AND ALLEVIATING MENTAL ILLNESS, INCLUDING ANXIETY, DEPRESSIVE SYMPTOMS AND STRESS RELATED DISEASE. HEALTH IS DEFINED BY THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION AS A STATE OF COMPLETE PHYSICAL, MENTAL AND SOCIAL WELL BEING, AND NOT MERELY THE ABSENCE OF DECEIT. 
          BY REQUIRING HCPS STUDENTS TO CHOOSE BETWEEN PLAYING SPORTS AND BEING VACCINATED OR TESTED. 
          AND THEN CHOOSE BETWEEN A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE WITH SPORTS AND SEDENTARY LIFESTYLE BECAUSE THEY DO NOT WANT TO BE VACCINATED OR TEST. THEREFORE THE RATE OF OBESITY WILL INCREASE AND THEY WILL BE DIRECTLY BECAUSE OF YOUR POLICY. AND ANY AND EVERY HEALTH ISSUE THAT STEMS FROM THAT OBESITY WILL THEREFORE BE THE BOARD'S FAULT. SEE SOME COUNTIES POSITIVITY RATE IS 6.35. HARPER COUNT? RATE IS 4.28% AND YET CECIL COUNTY DOES NOT AND WILL NOT REQUIRE THE TESTING VACCINATION IN ORDER TO. RECENTLY A LAWSUIT WAS FILED IN A FEDERAL COURT IN LOUISIANA THAT BLOCKS THE MANDATE THAT WORKERS GET TESTED WEEKLY OR BE VACCINATED BECAUSE THEY'RE GREAT STATUTORY CONSTITUTIONAL ISSUES. MANDATE. AND THAT WAS STAYED PENDING FURTHER ACTION FROM THE COURT BECAUSE THE ADMINISTRATION DOES NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO ISSUE THOSE REQUIREMENTS, AND NEITHER DO YOU. IT IS AGAINST THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES FOR YOU TO REQUIRE THOSE THINGS. WE CALL ON YOU TO FOLLOW THE SCIENCE THAT OUR NEIGHBORS AND CECIL COUNTY ARE USING OUR STUDENTS HERE IN HARFORD COUNTY ARE SUFFERING AT YOUR HANDS, AND THEY DESERVE BETTER. SPANISH. UM, I. YOU 
          [00:25:09]
READ MY SPEECH, BUT I'M ACTUALLY GOING TO READ THE ONE AREA. GOOD EVENING. MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. MY NAME IS JENNY MILLER AND I HAVE TWO CHILDREN AT BEL AIR HIGH. START BY SAYING THAT I CAN'T IMAGINE HAVING TO BE IN THE POSITION OF MAKING DECISIONS AROUND ALL. 
          THE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE I'M SURE IS UNIMAGINABLE, AND I'M GUESSING IT'S DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE THAT HAS CAUSED ALL THIS COMMON SENSE TO NO LONGER EXISTS. SINCE THE BEGINNING OF SUMMER. ONE OF MY BOYS HAS BEEN WITH THE HIGHEST. THEY'VE BEEN PREPARING FOR LOCKER ROOM. AND EXERCISE. OTHER IN THE FIELD AND SITTING NEXT TO EACH OTHER ON THE SCHOOL BUS IS ALL WITHOUT BEING TESTED. NOW, ALL OF THE THEY ARE EXERCISING THEIR MEDICAL FREE. THEIR BODIES. THEY'RE NOT. THEY'RE BEING SNOW BEING SEGREGATED AND PUNISHED. I WAS NOT AWARE THAT COVID COULD DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN SPORTS SEASON. AND NOT ONLY CAN IT DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN SPORTS. IT ALSO KNOWS IF THE INDIVIDUAL IS PARTICIPATING IN AN EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITY OR RECEIVING A GRADE FOR THIS ACTIVITY. DO YOU HEAR THIS NONSENSE? DO YOU HEAR HOW ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS THIS POLICY IS. STUDENTS ARE BEING FORCED TO SIT AT THEIR DESK FOR HOURS COMPLETELY MASKED WHILE WE PACK OUR SPORTS STADIUMS FULL. DID ANY OF YOU ATTENDED VARSITY HOME? HOW MANY HUNDREDS OF KIDS WERE JAMMED INTO THE STANCE, BUT YET YOU WANT MY KID IN A MASK, SITTING ALONE AT A DESK WHILE READING OF MICE AND MEN. POLICIES ARE RIDICULOUS. YOU SAY YOU'RE FOLLOWING SCIENCE, BUT YET YOU CHOOSE TO IGNORE IT WHEN IT DOESN'T GO IN LINE WITH YOUR POLICIES THAT HAVE A PAYOUT. YOU WANT SOME REAL SCIENCE VACCINATED. CAN CONTRACT AND TRANSMIT COVID 19. THAT IS A SCIENTIFIC FACT. AND THIS BOARD IS COMPLETELY IGNORING IT. IT'S ABSOLUTELY AMAZES ME THAT THIS SO CALLED WELL EDUCATED. ADULTS ARE CONTINUING TO PUSH OUT THESE RIDICULOUS POLICIES. DON'T GET TOO COMFORTABLE SITTING UP ON THOSE HIGH FORCES. COME 2022. WE WILL HAVE A BOARD THAT LOOKS OUT FOR THE BEST INTERESTS OF EVERY CHILD. MENDY PARENT. WE ASK YOU TO RETHINK THE VALID LADY OF THIS WORK. 18 AND DO AWAY WITH THIS TEST. KATE IN EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES OR SPORTS. RIDICULOUS THERE IS NO REASON TO BE TESTING HOW THE CHILDREN. CHILDREN HAVE A 99.97% RECOVERY RATE. WHY WOULD YOU WANT US TO RISK THE INJURIES THAT COME FROM THESE? NOT DONE BY CERTIFIED DOCTOR. SPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE NOT REQUIRING VACCINATED CHILL. 
          SAME RISK SAME PERCENTAGE OF TRANSFERRING COVID TO ANOTHER STUDENT. IF, IN FACT. GET WITH IT. GUYS. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. NEXT WE HAVE JOHN FRY, FOLLOWED BY JOHNNY IN CANADA. 
          THIS SPECIES PITERMAN AS WELL. SEE HOW THEY DIFFERENT POLLS. LOVES TO LEARN HOW TO. THIS IS HOW I OVERCAME THIS DISABILITY ALLOWING ME TO SPEAK CLEARLY TO YOU TODAY. HOWEVER, MARYLAND'S DECISION TO PUT MASK ON CHILDREN'S PREVENTING MY DAUGHTER. AND OTHER CHILDREN FROM THE SAME. YOU LOOK FOR RESEARCH AS IT PERTAINS TO MASKING CHILDREN AND LONG TERM IMPACTS, YOU'LL FIND RELATIVELY FEW STUDIES. CONSIDERATIONS RESEARCHERS FACE IN TERMS OF MASKING CHILDREN IN THIS WAY FOR US. SO RESEARCHES, RESEARCHERS FIND IT ETHICALLY INAPPROPRIATE TO SUBMIT CHILDREN. YET WE MAY PEDIATRIC EXPERTS. THE CHILDREN RELY ON FACIAL EXPRESSION TO INTERPRET WHAT THEY HERE TO RESPOND TO FACIAL CUES. SPIRED APPROPRIATE. TEACHERS AND PEERS. BECAUSE SEEING FACES SOCIAL DEVELOP. ACTION. FOR THIS REASON, THE UK IRELAND ALL OF SCANDINAVIA FRIENDS THAT NETHERLANDS, SWITZERLAND, ITALY HAVE ALL EXEMPT. KIDS FROM WEARING MASKS. I MISS THE DAYS 
          [00:30:01]
WHEN WE ASPIRE TO BE LIKE WHILE WE ACCEPT SALT. CARE MORE. WHAT SAFETY THAN THEY. ENTER AT RISK ASSESSMENT, AND THEY ARE. UNVACCINATED KIDS ARE MUCH LOWER RISK AND FULLY VACCINATED KIDS YET THIS FAST. INTO A BALTIMORE RAVENS GAME WAS 71,000. THOUGHTS, NO VACCINE REQUIREMENTS IN ONE WORD. TOOK MY DAUGHTER TO DISNEY ON ICE WITH 11,000 KIDS IN PARIS. VAST MAJORITY OF WHICH WERE SITTING IN SEATS WITHOUT MASK. WHY IS IT RESTRICTIONS. SO AT THE PROSECUTOR, JOY FOOTBALL. DISNEY ON ICE, BUT NOT WHEN CHILDREN ARE LEARNING TO SPEAK OUR LANGUAGE AND LEARNING EMOTIONAL SOCIAL RESPONSES. THEIR PEERS. HOW TO BE ENGAGED IN SOCIETY AND LEARN TO SEE THE PAIN. IN THE FACE OF A CHILD THAT THERE THE SMILE OF A NEW FRIEND. WE ALL WANT TO PROTECT OUR KIDS. I WOULDN'T BE HERE IF THE RISK OF COVID WAS PROPORTIONAL TO THE MEASURED STATEMENT, BUT IT IS TIME TO MOVE ON. THE DATA SUPPORTS THAT COMES IN SUPPORT. VERY EXHAUSTING OUR CHILDREN AND THEIR TEACHERS WITH NONSENSICAL PROTOCOLS, WHICH ARE INTERRUPTING WHERE. IS TURNING TO LET OUR KIDS ENJOY THEIR CHILD. LEARNED JUST LIKE WE. MUST TEACH THEM THE PAST TWO YEARS WHEN EXCEPTION AND NOT THE NORMAL. AND WE NEED TO TEACH THEM NOT TO FEAR EACH OTHER, BUT RATHER TO EMBRACE EACH OTHER'S SMILES. STORY.

TWO OF MY ADULT FACES HAVE RECENTLY CONFIDED TO ME THAT FIGHT THEIR MEDICAL DOCTORS AGREEMENT. THAT THEIR MEDICAL HISTORY MADE VACCINATION RISKY. THEY WERE FORCED TO TAKE THE COVID VACCINE IN ORDER TO KEEP THEIR STOP. WE MUST PROTECT OUR CHILDREN FROM SUCH DANGEROUS PRACTICES. SOME PEOPLE WOULD ARGUE THAT THAT SPACE THE CHILDREN IS NECESSARY IN ORDER TO SLOW THE SPREAD OR TO END THIS PANDEMIC. IT IS BRUTAL. THAT WE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS NO SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE. STEP BACK SEEMS CAN SLOW THE SPREAD, PREVENT TRANSMISSION OR PREVENT FUTURE VARIOUS VACCINES HAVE BEEN SHOWN. THE DECREASE SEVERE DISEASE. ANYTHING MORE. IT'S CONJECTURE AND WISHFUL THINKING.

WE HAVE GOTTEN CALLS SEVERAL INCIDENTS WHERE THERE'S EITHER OUTRIGHT OR PERCEIVED DISCRIMINATION. WITH OUR SCHOOLS, REACHING YOUR POTENTIAL ONLY STARTS TO BECOME POSSIBLE WHEN YOU'RE NOT PHYSICALLY SAFE, BUT EMOTIONALLY AS WELL. OUR CHILDREN SEE WHEN THE PARENTAL FIGURES OF THEIR PEERS AND THE VERY SCHOOL AUTHORITY THEY FOLLOW AND STILL THESE SEEDS OF HATRED AND BASEBALL SUPERIORITY INTO THE MINDS OF THEIR CHILDREN, OR DO NOTHING TO STOP IT. NOT ONLY IS WITNESSING EXPERIENCING THESE BRAVE AND JUSTICE, GRADING AND DEMORALIZED. BUT IT ALSO SEARCH CHILDREN'S BEHAVIOR IS ACCEPTABLE WHEN IT ABSOLUTELY IS NOT.

WITH REGARDS TO DR RUSSIA IS SUDDEN, POLITICALLY MOTIVATED FROM NATION I FEEL FOR YOUR LOSS. ABSOLUTELY. I FIRST TELL MANY OF INVOLVED WITH THE FULL THE DOCTOR BASHAR WAS A BEACON OF LIGHT.

WHAT YOUR COMMUNITY METRICS WILL BE IN THE SPRING FOR CONSIDERATION FOR MASK REMOVAL. I WOULD URGE FOLLOWING THE CDC GUIDANCE AND CONTINUED MATTHEWS WHEN SUBSTANTIAL OR HIGH TRANSMISSION PERIOD. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO TAKE STARTING AT THE END OF THIS TO ADDRESS A FEW PEOPLE IN THIS INFORMATION I'VE ALREADY HEARD. THAT MEANS ACTUALLY PREVENT PREVENT 80% OF ACTUAL TRANSMISSION OF THE VIRUS. ONCE SOMEONE IS SICK. YES THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO PRESS SOMETHING ELSE, BUT THEY 
          [00:50:01]
HAVE AN 80% FLUSHED CANCER ACTUALLY CONTRACTING THE VIRUS. ON TOP OF THAT. I HEARD THE YOUTH OF. CYSTIC ALONG THE LINES OF THE PERCENT POSITIVITY RATES, BUT IN THAT SAME ARGUMENT IT WAS MADE FOR NO TESTING SHOULD BE DONE. LOOK, MAKE IT CLEAR. TESTING THIEVES. 
          LIFE TESTING PREVENTS THE TRANSMISSION OF COVID 19. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. PRESIDENT GAUTIER THAT CONCLUDES THOSE WAITING IN THE LOBBY FOR VIRTUAL COMMENT. HEY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. NO.

OUR COUNTY'S METRICS CONTINUE TO SHOW SLIGHT DECLINE IN COVID 19 TRANSMISSION, BUT WE STILL REMAIN IN THE SUBSTANTIAL CATEGORY FOR TRANSMISSION AS PART OF THE CDC DESIGNATION. TODAY'S POSITIVITY FOR OUR COUNTY'S 4.28% OR DAILY CASE COUNT IS 13 POINT, 200,000. AS YOU KNOW, THIS IS REPORTED FOR THE CDC AS PER WEEK, SO THAT WOULD BE 92.4. 400,000 FOR THE WEEK.

          [Presentation on North Star Studies, Mr. Yakoubou Ousmanou, Manager of Research and Program Evaluation, Dr.Memo Diriker, BEACON Director Emeritus at Salisbury University ]
NORTH STAR STUDIES. DR BOLTON. SO WE HAVE TWO STUDIES I WANT TO INTRODUCE TO YOU THIS EVENING. SO WE KNOW MUCH OF OUR CONVERSATION HAS BEEN AROUND THE TOP. AND THAT WE SPENT A LOT OF OUR BOARD TIME TALKING ABOUT THAT. IN ONE OF THE CHALLENGES WHERE WE ARE. 
          RECOGNIZING THAT WE NEED TO ALSO BE LOOKING FORWARD WHILE WE'RE CAUGHT IN THIS WORK AND KIND OF DEALING WITH THE DAY TO DAY. HEY, TODAY OF WORKING WITH CORBETT HAS BEEN. VERY OVERWHELMING FOR PEOPLE, BUT AT THE SAME TIME TAKING OPPORTUNITY TO STEP BACK. LOOK AT THE PROGRESS WE'VE MADE. CHEMICALLY SOME AREAS AND WHERE WE SEE OURSELVES GOING, SO THIS IS SORT OF FORWARD LOOKING. PRESENTATION BUT IT'S ALSO A LITTLE BIT ABOUT LOOKING BACKWARD AND EXPLAIN THAT IN JUST A MOMENT. SO WE JUST RECENTLY RELEASED TWO STUDIES. 
          ONE IS A STUDY ON THE GRADUATE OUTCOMES FROM THE CLASS OF 2000 AND 18, 19 AND 20 BECAUSE WE WANTED TO GET A LITTLE BIT OF A BASELINE ABOUT. WHERE OUR STUDENTS WERE, AND THOSE YEARS. 
          ON THE GRADUATE OUTCOMES THAT WE'VE ESTABLISHED AS OUR TARGETS FOR NORTH STAR. AND SO I'M GOING TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT STUDY FIRST. BUT AT THE SAME TIME WE WERE WORKING ON THIS WERE YOU MAY RECALL. WE ANNOUNCED US NEARLY TWO YEARS AGO NOW. THAT WE CONTRASTED WITH SALFORD UNIVERSITY TO DO AN INDEPENDENT. ANALYSIS OF THE NORTH STAR GOALS AND WHAT THE POTENTIAL IMPACT OF THOSE GOALS WOULD BE. COMMUNITY AND ON THE STUDENTS WHO WENT THROUGH. SO WHEN I FINISHED MY BRIEF COMMENTS ABOUT NORTH STAR YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR FROM DR DIRECT HER FROM SOUTH UNIVERSITY WHO WAS THE LEAD RESEARCHER. AND YOU'RE ALSO GOING TO HEAR BRIEFLY FROM. VEGETABLES MILO, WHO IS OUR LEAD RESEARCHER HERE IN THE SCHOOL SYSTEM, IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PROGRAM EVALUATION. SO OKAY UP ON THE SCREEN. SO I'M GOING TO SHARE WITH YOU NORTHSTAR GRADUATE OUTCOMES AND YOU WILL RECALL IN OCTOBER 2000 AND 18 WHEN I PRESENTED MY FINDINGS. FROM THE LISTEN AND LEARN TOUR. I HAD A NUMBER OF TOPICS THAT I INDICATED. HERE'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BE WORKING. AND WELL, I DON'T WANT TO GO INTO THESE 
          [01:00:04]
DETAILS THAT YOU SEE THE LIST THERE. READING MENTAL HEALTH ENGAGEMENT GROWTH HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAM. UM ALL OF THESE HAVE BEEN TOUCHED IN THE NORTH STAR WORK, AND I THINK MOST SPECIFICALLY, WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR ABOUT TONIGHT IS THE HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAM. BUT WE COULD TALK ABOUT ANY OF THOSE TOP. ANOTHER THING YOU'LL ALL BE AWARE OF IS THE BLUEPRINT FOR OUR STUDENTS FUTURE PROBABLY THE BIGGEST SWEEPING EDUCATION LEGISLATION IN THE STATE OF MARYLAND, AND SOME WAYS THE MOST AGGRESSIVE EDUCATION LEGISLATION IN THE COUNTRY. MM. THAT. BETTER KNOWN AS KERWIN. LEGISLATION IS NOW IN EFFECT, AND WE ARE LOOKING TOWARD YOU KNOW ALL OF THE DIFFERENT ELEMENTS THAT WILL ROLL OUT WITH THAT. ON THE SCREEN. HERE IS A VERY BRIEF SUMMARY. BASICALLY THE BLUEPRINT WORK FALLS INTO FIVE BROAD CATEGORIES. WE'VE RE TITLED SOME OF THOSE CATEGORIES, PARTICULARLY THE ONE OF THE TOP LEFT. BECAUSE ONE OF THE MAJOR CATEGORIES OF BLUEPRINT IS THE CAREER IN COLLEGE. PREPARATION WORK. AND FOR THAT OUR NORTH STAR INITIATIVE IS REALLY WHAT DRIVES THAT WORK HERE IN THE SYSTEM. BUT I'M WORKING NORTH STAR IS REALLY CONNECTED TO ALL OF THESE AREAS YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN, SO. WELL WOULD BE UNPACKING. THE WORK OF THE BLUEPRINT WILL BE ROLLING OUT. A LOT OF THE ELEMENTS RELATED TO THAT OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS IS ACTUALLY A 10 YEAR ROLLOUT PLAN. THE LEGISLATION. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE WORKING ON FOR SOME TIME. WE WANT TO TALK TO YOU REALLY ABOUT THE LOCAL EFFORTS THAT I THINK ACTUALLY ALLOWED US TO GET A LITTLE AHEAD OF THE GAME ON THE BOOK. NORTH STAR. THE PREMISE HERE IS THAT EVERY SINGLE STUDENT GRADUATES FROM HIGH SCHOOL READY FOR THE NEXT STEP. WE'VE HAD LOTS OF DISCUSSIONS ABOUT WHAT NEXT STEP MIGHT LOOK LIKE BECAUSE YOU HAVE. DIFFERENT INTERESTS. FOR SOME PEOPLE. THE NEXT STEP REALLY NEEDS TO BE COLLEGE. FOR MANY OTHERS, THAT MAY BE A TRADE. IT MAY BE GOING STRAIGHT INTO THE WORKFORCE, AND WE WANT TO CREATE PATHWAYS WHERE STUDENTS REGARDLESS OF WHICH OF THOSE TWO PATHS THEY CHOOSE. 
          HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE SUCCESSFUL BEYOND WHAT WE SEE FOR JUST STUDENTS WHO HAVE A BASIC HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA BECAUSE ALL OF THE CAREER OUTCOMES SHOW THAT HIGHER LEVELS OF EDUCATION ON AVERAGE ACROSS ALL ALL POPULATIONS. THE HIGHER LEVEL OF EDUCATION LEAD TO GREATER LIFETIME INCOME, AND I THINK OUR RESEARCHERS CAN TALK ABOUT THAT A LITTLE BIT THE MOMENT UM. BUT ALSO SHARE THAT NORTH STAR. IT'S A COUNTYWIDE INITIATIVE AT THE SCHOOL SYSTEM WIDE INITIATIVE TO FOCUS ON CAREER SUCCESS FOR ALL STUDENTS, SO WHETHER THOSE STUDENTS CHOOSE A PATH THAT TAKES THEM TO A FOUR YEAR UNIVERSITY OR TWO YEAR. OR IF THEY GO STRAIGHT INTO THE WORKFORCE OR THE MILITARY. ALL ULTIMATELY WE'RE TRYING TO PREPARE THEM TO BE SUCCESSFUL ONCE THEY FINALLY REACHED THAT CAREER AND GET THEM ON THE RIGHT PATH. NORTH STAR IS NOT A PROGRAM SOMEONE SIGNS UP FOR IT'S KIND OF OUR ANSWER TO THE BLUEPRINT. IT ENCOMPASSES EVERYONE OF OUR STUDENT. AND WHAT WE'VE SHARED HERE IS THE OUTCOMES FOR THE CLASSES OF 2018 AND 19 FOR THE GRADUATES IN THOSE CLASSES. FOR THAT WE CAN SHOW YOU HOW WILL BE MEASURED MEASURING THIS GOING FORWARD AND WHERE WE'RE GOING TO START KIND OF BASELINE FOR STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT TO JUMP OFF FROM THE EXPECT TO SEE IMPROVEMENTS EVERY YEAR. TOO BROAD OUTCOMES. I WON'T GO TOO DEEPLY INTO THIS. OUR STUDENTS NEED TO BE PREPARED FOR COLLEGE OR THEY NEED TO BE PREPARED FOR A CAREER. WE HAVE STRATEGIES ABOUT HOW TO ACHIEVE THAT. I WON'T STAY ON THIS LONG. BUT I WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT WHAT WE'RE SEEKING TO ACHIEVE. UM. WE WANT TO. WE WANT TO IMPROVE THE LIKELIHOOD FOR THOSE STUDENTS WHO GO INTO COLLEGE. WE WANT TO IMPROVE THE LIKELIHOOD THAT THEY'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO RECEIVE A DEGREE. BECAUSE OUTCOMES FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS THAT PROTECT THE PREPARATION IN HIGH SCHOOL HAS A LOT TO DO WITH WHETHER STUDENTS ACTUALLY ACHIEVED DEGREES. AND WE AND NATIONALLY THAT'S MEASURED FREQUENTLY IN A SIX YEAR SPAN, SO HOW MANY STUDENTS ACHIEVED A DEGREE WITHIN SIX YEARS? OUR WORK DURING HIGH SCHOOL IS TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE MORE LIKELY TO ACHIEVE THAT. WE ALSO KNOW THAT COLLEGE COST COLLEGE DEBT ARE HUGE ISSUES FACING THIS COUNTRY FACING OUR SOCIETY, AND WE HAVE MANY STRATEGIES WITHIN THE NORTH STAR INITIATIVE TO HELP REDUCE HENSCHEL COST OF FAMILY. AND THAT, THUS ELIMINATE THE NEED FOR SUCH EXTENSIVE LONG TERM DEBT. AND REDUCE THE COST OF RECEIVING CAREER CREDENTIALS FOR THOSE STUDENTS WEREN'T LOOKING TO SEEK DEGREES. EARNING CREDENTIALS THAT CAN HELP THEM GET A HIGHER LEVEL JOB. HELP THEM, YOU KNOW, BE IN A PLACE. LIKE TO TALK ABOUT THE WORD. GOOD JOB. THEN AGAIN, WE HAVEN'T FULLY DEFINED THAT AS A BOARD AND THAT'S SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT A LITTLE BIT, BUT ESSENTIALLY A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A JOB THAT IS JUST SORT OF A. SUSTAINING SALARY THAT MIGHT SUSTAIN AN INDIVIDUAL OR A JOB MIGHT ALLOW AN INDIVIDUAL MADE TO MOVE UP, POTENTIALLY, BUT ALSO TO SUPPORT A FAMILY. BECAUSE OVER TIME WE EXPECT OUR GRADUATES TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT AS WELL. AND THEN WE ALSO WANT TO MAKE SURE WE INCREASE THE VARIETY OF PAST STUDENTS CAN TAKE TO PERSONALIZE HIS OR HER JOURNEY TO CAREER SUCCESS. SO 
          [01:05:02]
THESE ARE JUST SOME OF THE THINGS WE'RE TRYING TO ACHIEVE. SO LET'S TALK BRIEFLY ABOUT THE DETAILS. WHEN WE LOOK AT THE GRADUATE OUTCOME. WHAT WE ARE EXPECTING OUR STUDENTS TO ACHIEVE WHILE IN HIGH SCHOOL, ONE OF THREE THINGS DOES ALL OF THESE THINGS. ARE PAIRED WITH LATER SUCCESS IN KOREA OR COLLEGE. SO THE FIRST IS STUDENTS WHO COMPLETE COLLEGE LEVEL WORK WHILE IN HIGH SCHOOL. A STUDY THAT WE PRODUCED LOOKS AT THOSE GRADUATES AND TALKS ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS IN TERMS OF COLLEGE OUTCOMES FOR STUDENTS WHO. 
          COURSES, INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE COURSES. OVER IF THEY COMPLETE THE CAREER IN TECHNOLOGY, EDUCATION PATHWAY, IN OTHER WORDS, A SERIES OF COURSES AND ALL OF THOSE CASES IF YOU MEET THE APPROPRIATE STANDARDS IN THOSE AREAS. YOU MAY RECEIVE CREDIT WHEN YOU ENROLL IN A SCHOOL THAT OFFERS CREDIT FOR THAT. SECOND NORTH STAR OUTCOME IS ACTUALLY DUAL ENROLLMENT. THOSE STUDENTS WHO EARN TRANSCRIPT ID CREDIT, MEANING THEY TAKE COURSE THEY GET CREDIT ON A TRANSCRIPT, AND THEY CONTRIBUTE THAT WITH THEM TO NEARLY ANY INSTITUTION IN THE COUNTRY. WE HAVE MANY OPPORTUNITIES FOR SURGEONS TO DO THAT. AND THEN THE THIRD IS STUDENTS WHO OBTAINED A CAREER CREDENTIAL WHILE IN HIGH SCHOOL, SO THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO GET TO CAREER CREDENTIALS. THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE. TRANSCRIPT ID COLLEGE CREDIT. BUT IT COULD BE A CERTIFIED NURSING ASSISTANT. IT COULD BE. THE FOOD SERVICE CREDENTIAL. THERE'S A VARIETY OF CREDENTIALS OF STUDENTS CAN GET THAT DON'T NECESSARILY REQUIRE DEGREES, BUT DO SET THEM UP TO BE MORE SUCCESSFUL IN THE. OUR RESEARCH REPORT HAD TWO QUESTIONS. THE FIRST WAS TO GET THE BASELINE WHAT PERCENTAGE OF OUR GRADUATES ARE MEETING THE NORTH STAR OUTCOMES. SO WE LOOKED AT THOSE THREE YEARS I MENTIONED TO GRADUATING CLASSES OF 18, 19 AND 20. AND THEN WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MEETING THOSE OUTCOMES IN FUTURE SUCCESS? SO THE ANSWER THE FIRST QUESTION. AVERAGE ACROSS THOSE THREE YEARS. 44.8% OF THE STUDENTS WHO GRADUATED NO STREET THREE YEARS MET ONE OF THE COLLEGE LEVEL WORK REQUIREMENTS AGAIN. A P I V OR THAT CTE PATHWAY. 14% EARNED COLLEGE CREDIT WHILE IN HIGH SCHOOL SO THROUGH A DUAL ENROLLMENT COURSES. ON AVERAGE ACROSS THE THREE YEARS 11.4% EARNED A CAREER RENTAL. WHEN YOU ACCOUNT FOR THE OVERLAP ACROSS THESE THREE AREAS, 52% OF OUR STUDENTS MET ONE OF THESE THREE NORTH STAR. SO. COLLEGE OUTCOMES. WE'RE GOING TO TALK MORE IN THE FUTURE ABOUT CLEAR UP. HARDER TO GET DATA. GRADUATING GOES TO WORK. 
          US TO BE ABLE TO ASSESS WHAT GOOD JOB LOOKS LIKE. SO THAT'S SOME OF THE WORK WILL BE DOING GOING INTO THE FUTURE. HOW WE. WE CAN MEASURE WHO GETS CREDENTIAL SO WE CAN KNOW IF THEY'RE PREPARED FOR A JOB. BUT OUR NEXT GOAL IS TO WORK OUT HOW WE'RE GOING TO MEASURE ACTUAL SUCCESSFUL IN THE AND SO WE'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING TO. TO STOP THERE BECAUSE PRESENTING THOSE COLLEGE, THOSE THREE GRADUATE OUTCOME. THIS IS WHAT OUR RESEARCHERS FROM THE BEACONS. LOOKED INTO TO TALK ABOUT WHAT TYPE OF IMPACT THIS PARTICULAR PLAN MIGHT HAVE ON STUDENTS IN THIS COMMUNITY GOING FORWARD. SO WITHOUT. MR. IT WAS MONO IF YOU WOULD INTRODUCE OUR NEXT SPEAKER. SORT OF BUT HIS NAME THEN. MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC. MY NAME IS SKEPTICAL. SHIMANO I'M THE MANAGER OF NOTES OUR RESEARCH ON PROGRAM EVALUATION. I DON'T KNOW. SO I'M HERE TO INTRODUCE. STOP THE MEMORY CHARACTER WHO WALKED WITH US ON THE STUDY. 
          THAT OFTEN ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF THE. NOTICE THAT INITIATIVE AND REALLY HELP PROCESS SPLENDID POTENTIAL RETURN ON INVESTMENT. PULL OUT, BUT THE NOSE THING IS. WITHOUT THE USE OF THE MEMO COMPLAINTS. MOVE ON WITH HER PRESENTATION. THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. UH UM WELL, SOMEBODY BE PUTTING UP THE POWER POINT. THE UNLESS, UH ONE I SAID EARLIER THIS MORNING. 
          I'LL PUT IT UP. I'LL PUT IT UP IN THE TEAMS AND WE HAVE IT ON THE SCREEN HERE IN THE BOARDROOM. PERFUME AND NOT LONG AGO. UH QUEST BELIEVE WHEN WE NEED TO HAVE ADVANCED THE NEXT SLIDE. GOOD EVENING, EVERYBODY. IT IS TRULY MY HONOR TO BE PART OF THIS PROCESS. AS YOU HEARD, DR PAULSON SAY THAT WE STARTED THE PROCESS OR THE PANDEMIC AND. AND HAS BEEN THE CASE WITH MANY AND THINK THAT MAKES KIND OF SLOWED THE DATA COLLECTION AND SERVING OPPONENTS OF OUR RESEARCH, BUT, UH, THE HELP OF THE TEAM. THAT WE ACKNOWLEDGE AT THE END OF THIS POWERFUL PRESENTATION, WE WERE ABLE TO OVERCOME THOSE OBSTACLES AND FINISHED THE STUDY. AS YOU SEE, WHAT WE LOOKED INTO WAS THE POTENTIAL OUTCOMES. OFF THE NORTH STAR INITIATIVE. LOOKING INTO THE FUTURE. YOU JUST HEARD WHAT THE FIRST THREE YEARS OF, UM OUTCOMES. WE'RE AND WE 
          [01:10:06]
BEYOND AND WE SAID OKAY DURING THE 30 YEAR LIFE IN YOUR LIFE THAT NORTH STAR PARTICIPANT. 
          WHAT WILL THEIR FUTURE BOOK LIKE? THIS IS SOMETHING WE HAVE DONE MANY I FIND IN MANY STUDIES DONE, UH, RETURN ON INVESTMENT OF PUBLIC. UM, DOLLARS ON. GAVE HIM 12 EDUCATION FOR EACH OF THE VALUES INSTEAD OF MARYLAND AND FOR THE STATE AS A WHOLE. WE HAVE DONE THIS FOR OTHER TYPES OF INITIATIVES, THE USE OF PROCESS THAT LOOKS THAT IT'S CALLED. PRE PROCESS IT'S THAT WAY OF MODELING FUTURE AND LOOKING AT THE FUTURE OF IF WE COULD BEST THIS TOO. NEXT TIME AND THE NEXT FIND OUT QUICKLY. THESE ARE THE THINGS YOU ALREADY HEARD. I JUST WANT TO GO TO THE STUDY QUESTIONS THAT WE LOOKED AT NEXT LIGHT, PLEASE. 
          THESE ARE THE STUDY QUESTIONS WE LOOKED AT IN THIS PART OF THE. THE RESEARCH THAT WE CONDUCTED WHAT IS THE EXPECTED VALUE STUDENT? WHAT ARE THE CHANGES IN PADRON READINESS TO THE BOAT ATTRIBUTABLE TO NORTH STAR CAREER OUTCOMES PERIOD, THE NORTH STAR ADDED ECONOMIC AND EMPLOYMENT. YES AND WE SPEND AN INVESTMENT. WE ALSO DO THIS FOR WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS OVER 84 COURSE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF MARYLAND, MARYLAND DEPARTMENT OF LABOR. AND SOME OF THE METHODOLOGY WE USE IS SIMILAR TO THAT AND WHAT ARE SOME OF THE NON QUANTIFIABLE BENEFIT? FIRST ART START INITIATIVE. MY APOLOGIES FOR THE TYPO THAT SOMETIMES SOME OF THESE BENEFITS ARE NOT. I'M NOT QUANTIFIABLE, SO WE LOOKED AT THE NARRATIVE BEHIND WHAT WE EXPECT TO HAPPEN. WHAT'S UP THE NORTH STAR INITIATIVE. NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. SO THE STUDY DID A LOT OF BACKGROUND RESEARCH THEY DEVELOPED THE TEAM HAS DEVELOPED THE SIMULATION MODEL AND THEN BE DEVELOPED POTENTIAL SCENARIOS BASED ON. NOT ONLY ARE SECONDARY RESEARCH ALSO THERE ARE CONVERSATIONS WITH, UH. DECISION MAKERS AND LEADERS IN HARFORD COUNTY, AS WELL AS ELSEWHERE AND. PUTTING ALL THAT TOGETHER BE DEVELOPED A AN ECONOMIC MODEL DERIVED FROM THE SIMULATION VIABLE, CALCULATED THE RETURN ON INVESTMENT AND BE PREPARED TO END INFORMED ANALYSIS OF POSSIBLE OUTCOMES THAT I JUST MENTIONED. X LITE, PLEASE. NOW DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE SMALLER THIS IS JUST TO SHOW YOU OVERALL COMPLEXITY OF TOMORROW WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT DIFFERENT COMPONENTS OF THE MODEL IN THE SUBSEQUENT SLIDES, BUT WHAT WE DID HERE IS. WE ESSENTIALLY CREATED A SIMULATION MODEL THAT ANSWERS THE WHAT IF QUESTIONS. WHAT IF X PERCENTAGE OF STUDENTS COMPLETE? WHAT IF THIS OUTCOME IS LIKELY TO HAPPEN? AND THOSE. HE'S ALS VALUES THAT IN EACH ONE OF THESE VARIABLES ARE DERIVED FROM THE SOURCE. ONE WHAT HAVE OTHER PLACES IN THE COUNTRY THAT HAVE DONE THESE KINDS OF PROGRAMS EXPERIENCE AND TO WHAT DO WE HAVE? WHAT DO WE HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF HAPPENING IN HARFORD COUNTY ITSELF? IN FACT, OUR MODEL USERS RANGES OF LIKE THE VALUES AND THE VALUE. 
          YOU HEARD THAT THE ACTUAL OUTCOME OF 15.2% DETECTIVE BOSTON MENTIONED. OUR MODEL HAD PREDICTED A VALUE BETWEEN 45 55. SO THERE WAS INDEPENDENT CONFIRMATION OF OUR UH, MODELS. 
          VALIDITY THROUGH THE ACTUAL. ANALYSIS THAT WAS DONE IN THE FIRST STUDY. DR PAULSON PRESENT CAN WE MOVE TO THE NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE? NEXT ONE. OKAY SO THIS IS WHEN WE ZOOM IN INTO VARIOUS COMPONENTS OF THE MODEL, AND IF WE COULD MOVE TO THE NEXT SLIDE, I'LL EXPLAIN WHAT THESE NUMBERS MEAN. SO WHAT? STUDENTS PER SPEAKER YOUR LICENSE SHERIFF MASSACRE WAS SHORTEN IN OUR MODEL IN THE FUTURE THAT WE LOOKED AT BY 6 TO 12 MONTHS FOR THOSE WHO PLEATED DON'T START REQUIREMENTS. PAT PASSED THE PEAK EARNINGS ABOUT 12 24 MONTHS LIFETIME EARNINGS IN 19% LIKELIHOOD OF PERIOD BRAILLE RELEVANT. THE BAD THING, OF COURSE, IS REDUCED BY 12 TO 19% AND SOCIETAL CONTRIBUTION BY THESE INDIVIDUALS THROUGH THEIR REAL LIFE TIMES HAS INCREASED BY 13 TO 29. COURSE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS LOOKING INTO THE FUTURE. SO THESE PERCENTAGES THE DO NOT EXIST. THESE ARE ESTIMATES OF WHAT IS LIKELY HAPPENED SO. IN OUR EXPERIENCE IN DOING THESE KINDS OF STUDIES. WHAT IS THE SUCCESS RATE OF OUR PREDICTIONS ARE PREDICTIONS RANGE IN ADDICTIVE ACCURACY OF. 87 93% THAT'S A VERY HIGH PREDICTIVE ACCURACY. 
          [01:15:04]
IN OTHER WORDS, 87 TO 93% OF THESE NUMBERS ARE LIKELY TO HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE USING THIS METHODOLOGY NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. THIS IS ANOTHER COMPONENT OF THE MODEL AND AGAIN, LET'S GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE TO EXPLAIN WHAT WE FOUND IN THIS. THIS IS FOR STUDENTS PURSUING COLLEGE READINESS AND THEIRY 6 TO 12 MOR PEAK EARNING WAS SHORTENED BY 18 TO 24 MONTHS. LIFETIME EARNINGS BEAST 24 TO 98. AND LIKE WE WERE VERY DRILL DERAIL THAT PRODUCED BY 12 TO 26% ASYL CONTRIBUTION WAS INCREASED BY UP TO 34% IN SOME OF THESE RANGES. YOU SEE THAT THEY ARE A LITTLE BIT WIDE. THAT'S BECAUSE THE AVAILABLE DATA IS NOT PRECISE ENOUGH FOR THEM EXPRESSED SAY IT IS GOING TO BE 27% OR IT'S GOING TO BE 33. DIFFERENT STUDIES DONE BY DIFFERENT PARTS DIFFERENT, UM, PLACES AROUND THE COUNTRY HAVE FOUND DIFFERENT RESULTS, WHICH FORCE US TO LOOK AT A LITTLE BIT OF A WIDER RANGE IN THE MODEL ITSELF. NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. THIS ONE IS LOOKING AT THE STUDENTS PURSUING, UH, YOU WILL LET ME UM. A PVC THE ORDEAL ENROLLMENT AND WHAT IS THAT CHANGE WILL HAVE THE CHANGES IN COLLEGE READINESS NEXT, LIKE THESE. THEY'RE LIKELY TO COMPLAINING AT THREE YEARS DEGREE WAS INCREASED THOSE WHO COMPLETED IN THE FUTURE WHO WILL COMPLETE THE NORTH STAR PROGRAM BY 18 TO 22% WHICH IS A LITTLE BIT LOW, BUT STILL OUT. THIS IS IF THEY HAD NOT DONE IT WOULD NOT. IT WOULD NOT EVEN BE 8 22% THIS IS AN INCREASE, UH, COMPLETING FOUR YEAR DEGREE. THIS IS VERY IMPRESSIVE. UH THE LIKELIHOOD INCREASES 36. AND LIKELY TO DROPPING OUT IS REDUCED, UH AS HIGH AS 70 YEAR. 78% THIS IS A VERY, VERY LIKELY TO PROCEED IN GRADUATE EDUCATION INCREASES BY 27 29% REMEMBER THAT ONLY 14% OF COLLEGE GRADUATES CONTINUE ON TO GRADUATE EDUCATION. NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. AGAIN. I'M GOING TO QUICKLY. AGGRESS TO THE, UM NEXT SLIDE BEFORE WE DID. THIS IS THIS LOOKS AT COLLEGE READINESS VERSUS PRE WRITTEN THIS IN CAREER READINESS, LIKE THE HEAD OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP, STARTING BUSINESSES. INCREASES 15 TO 28% LIKELIHOOD OF HEALTH WELLNESS OUTCOMES FOR THESE INDIVIDUALS IS GOING TO PROBABLY BOOM BY 36 TO 67. 
          WHERE'S WELL, THOSE OF. OUT THOSE PURSUING COLLEGE EXPERIENCE. ENTREPRENEURSHIP PIECES 12 TO 18 HEALTH AND WELLNESS PIECES 41 TO 71 INTERESTING TO KNOW THAT. LET'S GO BACK THIS MONTH, BUT IT'S INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT THE ENTREPRENEURSHIP INCREASES HIGHER FOR THOSE PURSUING CAREER READINESS. THIS IS NOT A UNIQUE BINDING. PART WORDS PROGRAM. WE SEE THAT THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY THAT THOSE, UH PURSUE. DEGREES TEND TO STAY EMPLOYED. THOSE WHO PURSUE A CAREER REDNESS ARE MORE LIKELY TO START THEIR OWN BUSINESSES. 
          NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. AND AGAIN THE NEXT LINE. THESE ARE THE ECONOMIC AND EMPLOYMENT OUTCOMES THAT WE PREDICT. AH! ECONOMIC VALUE ADDED, HE SAYS SUBSTANTIALLY FOR THOSE PURSUING VERY RIDDEN THIS AND EVEN MORE SO FOR THE COLLEGE EXPERIENCE ADDITIONAL JOBS THAT THEY SUPPORT. IN OTHER WORDS, THERE AT. HE'S CAUSE OTHER PEOPLE TO BE EMPLOYED. AND THAT INCREASE IS 31 TO 57, OR CREATE REDNESS AND 44 TO 79, OR COLLEGE EXPERIENCE. UH, FISCAL CONTRIBUTIONS IS. ALL KINDS OF TAXES AS WELL AS FEES THAT THEY GENERATE THROUGH THEIR ACTIVITIES, AND THESE INCREASES ARE RELATIVELY SIMILAR. A BUS CAREER AND COLLEGE EXPERIENCE AROUND WHEN HE 36% EXCELLENT. THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT SLIDE OF ALL THE PRESIDENT. THE. 
          RETURN ON INVESTMENT IS THE PUBLIC DOLLAR. EACH PUBLIC DOLLAR INVESTED IN STUDENTS PARTICIPATING IN NORTH STAR. THE SOCIETY IN THIS CASE, WE'RE LOOKING AT HARFORD COUNTY. NOT ALL SOCIETY BECAUSE YOU START LOOKING AT MARYLAND. THAT'S WHERE THERE'S GOING TO BE EVEN MORE. BUT THIS SOCIETY AND HARVARD ECONOMY AND HARVARD COUNTY. BENEFITS BY HAND, ALMOST $15 FOR THOSE PURSUING CAREER AT NEST AND ALMOST 14 TO $17 FOR THOSE PURSUING POLITICS PERIOD. THE HIGHEST SUCH NUMBER WE HAVE FOUND ELSEWHERE IN THE COUNTRY IS $18 AND FOR THAT SPORT COLLEGE EXPERIENCE SO YOU CAN SEE THAT THE HARVARD COUNTY EXPERIENCE IS EXPECTED TO BE. 
          UNDER HIGH END, BUT WHAT HAS ALREADY BEEN OBSERVED ELSEWHERE IN THE COUNTRY. NEXT SLIDE! SO WE HAVE. OH, AND A FEW NON QUANTIFIABLE NORTHSTAR BENEFITS AND I'M NOT GOING TO GO INTO 
          [01:20:02]
THE DETAIL OF THESE. I BELIEVE BEAST. THIS THING IS AVAILABLE ON THE WEBSITE, BUT WE LOOKED AT RELIANCE ON GOVERNMENT BENEFITS, SUBSTANCE USE DISEASES, INCARCERATION. 
          GENERATIONAL BENEFITS AND ENHANCED EQUITY. THESE ARE BENEFITS THAT HAVE BEEN OBSERVED IN OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTRY WHERE SUCH PROGRAMS HAVE BEEN ALREADY DONE, OR. 
          OTHER IN SOME CASES, ALSO IN OTHER COUNTRIES SUCH AS IRELAND, AND ALSO IN SCANDINAVIA, UM IF WE COULDN'T. BYPASS THE FUEL THE NEXT SIZE. I'LL TELL YOU WHEN TO STOP. OKAY SO IF YOU GO BACK FROM SLIDE, OKAY. CONCLUSIONS, UM. DO YOU HAVE A VERY IMPORTANT STORY TO TELL WITH REGARDS TO THE NORTH STAR INITIATIVE. THIS IS A GREAT. PROGRAM WITH VERY HIGH ESTIMATED RETURNS ON INVESTMENT 52.2% RATE THAT, UM. THAT THE BOSTON MENTION IS THAT VERY ADMIRABLE RATE AND OVER TIME, IT IS OF OTHER PROGRAMS THAT THAT PERCENTAGE ACTIVELY PIECES AS THE PARTICIPANTS FROM THE SCHOOL SYSTEM AND THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE BECOME MORE ADEPT AT. 
          MATCHING THE PROGRAM AND GUIDING THEM INTO THE RIGHT PATH AND HELPING THEM FOOD EXPRESSED SO. THINK. NEGATIVE IN ALL OF THIS IS THAT. A PERFECT PENALTY STUDENT WHO BENEFITS FROM THIS PROGRAM IS NOT. FIRED AND STAY IN THE COUNT. THIS IS WHAT WE BELIEVE IT SO SOME OF THE STUDENTS ARE GOING TO GO ELSEWHERE. UM WE RECOMMEND WHEN THIS HAPPENS, IT'S TO NOT ONLY AND INVEST IN ATTENTION. THIS IS NOT THE SCHOOL SYSTEM. THIS IS NOW THE CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OFFICES, ETCETERA. THE KENNEDY BUT ALSO. IN PROGRAMS TO RECRUIT THEM BACK TO THE TOWN. THEY DON'T WORK SOMEWHERE, GO TO COLLEGE SOMEWHERE ELSE SO THAT LEAKAGE IS PARTIALLY REVERSED. AND. THE EQUITY PIECE OF THIS IS A VERY BECAUSE. PROGRAMS LIKE THIS AND TO PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES OR. STUDENTS FROM COMMUNITIES WHERE THEY MIGHT NOT HAVE OPPORTUNITIES. IN THE PREVIOUS GENERATIONS. THAT'S A LOT OF GOOD REASON TO INVEST IN THIS KIND OF A PROGRAM LIKE TO GO TO THE NEXT FLIGHT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT, UH, TEAM THAT HELPED ME I'M. AS YOU CAN SEE, I WAS THE IN ADDITION TO MY THEME HERE AT SALISBURY UNIVERSITY, THERE WERE A NUMBER OF PEOPLE FROM AFRICA THAT WERE ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL FOR US TO BE ABLE TO WHAT WE DO. I WOULD LIKE TO THANK EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM. THEY WERE ALWAYS AVAILABLE TO US THEY ANSWERED EVERY SINGLE ONE OF OUR QUESTIONS. PERSEVERE WITH ASKED HELP ZOOM MEETINGS AND I CANNOT THANK THEM ENOUGH OR HAVE A WORKED WITH US THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS. NEXT LIKE THIS. LIKE TO THANK ALL OF YOU. IF ANYBODY HAS QUESTIONS THAT BIG WANT TO ASK AFTER THE MEETING, PLEASE REACH OUT TO ME AND DIRECTOR AT SALISBURY DOT E. D U. PROVIDES AND DR PAULSON, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANTED ME TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. LAST THE BOARD BLACKBOARD. ANY QUESTIONS? DR DECKER? OKAY. OKAY, SO. SORRY I'M GONNA MUTE ME. ME. WITH MS KARWACKI. ANY QUESTION. MM NOT A QUESTION JUST TO COMMENT. THE PERCENTAGE IS, UM. RECORDING ENTREPRENEURSHIP. WE'RE REALLY IMPRESSIVE, VERY POSITIVE. AND TO ME, THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT SMALL BUSINESS. INDIVIDUAL STARTUP. 
          ARE REALLY AT THE CORE OF OUR ECONOMICS HERE IN THE U. S. AND THE FACT THAT. WE CAN BE A SMALL PART OF PROVIDING THE PLAIN FIELD. WERE STUDENTS. BE ENGAGED IN THAT. I THINK IT IS VERY IMPORTANT. SINGER. OKAY? CAN. I JUST WANT TO SAY IT. I LOVE SEEING THIS PRESENTATION. 
          IT'S VERY IMPRESSIVE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YOUR BAUR. NO COMMENTS. GREAT PRESENTATION. 
          THANK YOU. DR HAROLD. MR ROBIN. NO QUESTION ABOUT THIS. THANK YOU, DR PHIL. ONE QUESTION 
          [01:25:11]
WHICH YOU MAY HAVE SAID AT THE EARLY PART OF THE PRESENTATION. I JUST MISSED IT. BUT DO YOU ACTUALLY HAVE DATA PRIOR TO 2018 THAT SUPPORTS PREDICTIONS OR WERE THESE JUST BASED ON RESEARCH MODELS. OUT IN THE, UH, REAL WORLD DATA. NO. PRETTY PREDOMINANTLY THE. VARIABLES PROVIDED FOR BASED ON OTHERS OUT PROGRAMS, SUCCESSES, BUT WE DID HAVE SOME DATA FROM THE HARVARD SYSTEM. UM BUT AS YOU KNOW, THIS IS TWO NEW ENOUGH FOR US TO HAVE SUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF DATA. MM I WOULD RECOMMEND MAYBE IN ANOTHER 2 TO 3 YEARS, THE SAME MODEL. WE PROVIDED THE USED. TRUTH TESTIMONIALS PREDICTIVE ACCURACY WITH ADDITIONAL OUTCOMES. BUT AS I AS YOU HEARD ME, SAY EARLIER ON ALREADY THE PREVIOUS STUDY DR BOSTON MENTIONED WHICH HAD BEEN CONDUCTED, UH, AT THE SAME TIME AS THIS ONE CAME UP WITH THAT PERCENTAGE NUMBER. THAT IS WITHIN THE RANGE WE HAVE PREDICTED, SO THAT'S ALREADY A POSITIVE SIGN. MR CARDED. THANK YOU. UM IT'S REALLY. SO IMPORTANT TO SEE THE BLOOD LIKUD OF SUCCESS FROM THE STANDPOINT OF LIFE INSURERS AND COLLEGE EXPERIENCE, BUT. WHAT I THOUGHT WAS ALSO AS IMPORTANT WAS THE LIKELIHOOD OF HEALTH AND WELLNESS OUTCOMES FOR BOTH THOSE GROUPS. IT. INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY, WHICH. REALLY GIVES US NOT ONLY A SUCCESSFUL WORKFORCE. HOPEFULLY THAT. DOES NOT LEAK OUT OF THE COUNTY BUT HEALTHY WORKFORCE BOTH FROM COLLEGE READINESS AND RELATIONSHIP. I THANK YOU FOR THIS PRESENTATION. COME. THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. I HAVE NO QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. UM AND I HAVE ONE QUESTION THAT I THINK MIGHT PUT THINGS IN A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES. THE AVERAGE DROPOUT RATE CURRENTLY IN COLLEGE, OR RATHER, A NON COMPLETION IN THE SIX YEAR TIME SPAN THAT'S USUALLY CONSIDERED. SO IT CHANGES FROM DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE COUNTRY AS WELL AS THE TYPE OF UNIVERSITY FROM PRIVATE UNIVERSITIES TO PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES TO COMMUNITY COLLEGES. UH, HBC IS ETCETERA, BUT. POLLUTION RATE COULD BE AS HIGH AS THEY AND AS LOW AS 30% IT REALLY IS A VERY WIDE ANYTHING STUDENTS PARTICIPATING IN THESE KINDS OF PROGRAMS. HAVE A SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER COMPLETION RATES. HENCE THE STATISTIC BROTHELS. NO. I JUST WANTED TO STRESS WHAT THE DROPOUT RATE IS BECAUSE IT MAKES. PEOPLE PARTICIPATING IN THIS THAT MUCH MORE IMPRESSIVE WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE OTHER PERCENTAGE. THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION BALANCE. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE PUBLISHES, UH, COMPLETION RATES FOR EACH COUNTY. HIGH SCHOOL AND AS WELL AS COLLEGE PAYMENT RATES, AND YOUR COUNTY IS IN THE TOP £5 IN THE STATE. GOOD. SIT DOWN. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. I'M GONNA SIGN UP NOW AND HAVE QUESTIONS POLICE THAN AN EMAIL AT THE MR COSBY DATE YOU AND ONCE AGAIN THANK YOU, EVERYBODY. EVERYBODY IN THIS MEETING. OR HAVING LISTENED TO ME AND GOOD EVENING. THANK YOU. AGAIN. WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE ON WITH OUR MEETING. AND YOU ARE WELCOME TO ASK THOSE QUESTIONS IN ANOTHER FORUM. THIS JUDGE. WE'RE NOW MOVING ON TO 
          [F. Presentation of Quarterly Financial Report for the Period Ending September 30, 2021 , Ms. Deborah Judd, Assistant Superintendent for Business Services ]
PRESENTATION OF QUARTERLY FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE PERIOD ENDING SEPTEMBER 30TH. EVENING HUSBAND GO TO GAY SUPERINTENDENT BOLSON MAKING THIS SPEAKERS ARE OUT OF ORDER BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT PERMITTED TO SPEAK. AT HEART FROM THE AUDIENCE. THEY HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK DURING COMMENT PERIOD. OTHERWISE IT TURNS INTO PEOPLE JUST SPEAKING OUT. UNDERSTOOD. IS NOT. THIS IS NOT AN OPPORTUNITY FOR DEBATES OR. THIS IS A QUESTION OF PROPER ORDER AND THEN FOR THE BOARD. WORK GOING TO CONTINUE ON WITH OUR MEETING WITHOUT INTERRUPTION. THANK YOU. I HEARD, MR ED. OKAY THANK YOU. THIS EVENING. I AM PRESENTING A SUMMARY OF THE SEPTEMBER 30 2021 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THIS IS THE FIRST 
          [01:30:03]
QUARTER OF OUR FISCAL YEAR 22. UH AS YOU MAY RECALL, UM, FIRST QUARTER THERE NEVER IS. A LOT OF VARIANTS IN WHAT WE SEE IN OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. SO UM, IT'S VERY EARLY. WE HAVE, UM, ONLY TWO PAY PERIODS FOR OUR 10 MONTH STAFF. THAT WE ARE STILL EARLY IN THE YEAR, AND AS THE YEAR DEVELOPS, WE WILL HAVE MORE INFORMATION TO SHARE. ONE OF THE BIGGEST THINGS MISSING IS OUR PROJECTIONS FOR THE YEAR BECAUSE AGAIN WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH DATA TO DO THAT. AND WE ALSO DO NOT PRESENT A PROJECTED FUND BALANCE. SO WITH THAT OUR REVENUES ARE WHAT WE ARE EXPECTING THEM TO BE, UM. THE LOCAL AND STATE IS THE MAJORITY OF OUR REVENUE AND WE'VE RECEIVED THE PAYMENTS AS ANTICIPATED FOR THE FIRST QUARTER. AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS IN LINE. OUR INTEREST REVENUE IS EXTREMELY LOW. BUT AS EVERYONE KNOWS, RIGHT NOW, THAT IS CONSISTENT. UM OUTSIDE OF HCPS AS WELL. THE DETAILS OF OUR REVENUES. AGAIN. UM NOT. 
          TOO MANY SURPRISES HERE. UM SOME OF ITS TIMING ISSUES AND RECEIPTS AND THEN OTHERS WE JUST HAVEN'T ENCOUNTERED. AT THIS POINT IN THE YEAR. OUR EXPENSES WERE ABOUT 17% SO NORMALLY FOR A QUARTER YOU WOULD EXPECT 25% BUT BECAUSE AGAIN, OUR 10 MONTH EMPLOYEES HAVE ONLY RECEIVED TWO PAYCHECKS. WE DO. WOULD EXPECT TO SEE OUR LESS THAN 25% EXPENDITURE TOTAL FOR THE YEAR. AT THIS TIME, BUT EVERYTHING ELSE IS IN LINE WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE INDIVIDUAL STATE CATEGORIES. THAT IS, IF THE PRESENTATION I AM HAPPY TO TAKE QUESTIONS AND. ANSWER THOSE OR REVIEW ANYTHING IN PARTICULAR. BOARD MEMBERS. ANY QUESTION. 
          THANK YOU MISJUDGED. SO IF I HEAR YOU CORRECTLY, BASICALLY, WE ARE ON TRACK HERE TODAY. AT THE 25% BASED ON WHERE WE SHOULD BE. GIVEN THE FACT THAT, UM SOME OF THE 10 MONTH EMPLOYEES HAVE. EXPENSES HAVE BEEN RECOGNIZED AS YET YOU'RE COMFORTABLE THAT WE ARE WHERE WE SHOULD BE AT THIS POINT DURING THE YEAR. EXPENDITURES VERSUS BUDGET. YES YES, AND IT IS DIFFICULT THAT OUR 10 MONTH EMPLOYEES DO NOT RECEIVE A PAYCHECK UNTIL SEPTEMBER. SO UM, THERE WAS NOTHING IN JULY OR AUGUST EXPENDED FOR THOSE. LINE ITEM OF SALARY, SO THAT IS A NORMAL OCCURRENCE. THERE'S NOTHING IN HERE THAT IS OF ANY ALARM AT THIS POINT. WE WRAP THE WHOLE BUDGET, NOT NECESSARILY JUST THE SALARY PIECE. I'M SORRY. CAN YOU SURE? NOTHING IN GENERAL, YOU'RE SAYING THE WHOLE BUDGET IS BASICALLY IN LINE OF WHERE IT SHOULD BE AT THIS POINT OF THE YEAR, NOT JUST THE SALARY PIECE, BUT. YOU'RE COMFORTABLE OR EXPENSES AGAINST BUDGET OR WHERE THEY SHOULD BE. CORRECT. THERE'S NOTHING JUMPING OUT AT THIS TIME. THAT WOULD CAUSE ANY CONCERN. THANK YOU. SHOWERS. THANK YOU. JERRY MISJUDGED. 
          THIS IS A VIVID TENSION QUESTION. BONES. WE HAD PUBLIC COMMENT EARLIER. TALKING ABOUT TITLE ONE FUNDING. AND I KNOW THAT WE. BASICALLY DIRECT OLD TITLE ONE FUNDING TO THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL LEVEL. UM. CAN YOU OR SOMEONE ELSE SPEAK TO WHY THAT DECISION WAS MADE? ABOUT WHERE I CAN ANSWER THAT. THANK YOU. SO. TITLE. ONE FUN FUNDING, ESSENTIALLY HOW THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. CALCULATES THIS IS, UM, SCHOOL SYSTEM GETS A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TAIWAN FUNDING BASED ON THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS IN POVERTY IN THAT SYSTEM. SO THE MONEY COMES TO THE SYSTEM AS A WHOLE. BUT THEN THERE ARE A LOT OF DETAILS WITH HOW YOU HOW YOU DISPERSE THOSE FUN. AND THEN IF YOU CHOOSE A CERTAIN PATH, IT HAS IMPLICATIONS. IT'S PRETTY COMMON NOT. ALWAYS THE CASE BUT PRETTY COMMON FOR SCHOOL SYSTEMS TO ONLY USE THE TITLE ONE FUNDS AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL. THERE'S A FEW REASONS FOR THAT. UM. WE'VE SEEN CONCENTRATIONS OF POVERTY AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL, BUT WE ALSO SEE THE GREATEST IMPACT ON OUR STUDENTS AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL. AND YOU CAN ACTUALLY DOLLARS ACTUALLY GO FARTHER WHEN YOU SPEND THEM AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL. WHAT HAPPENS IS ONCE YOU INCLUDE A SCHOOL IN THE FUNDING. SO IF YOU MOVE TO MIDDLE SCHOOL MIDDLE SCHOOLS ARE GENERALLY LARGER. NOT ALWAYS THE CASE. UH BECAUSE WE HAVE SOME LARGE ELEMENTARY'S HERE AS WELL. BUT IF YOU 
          [01:35:03]
INCLUDE A MIDDLE SCHOOL IN THAT, AND THEN DISPERSED ANOTHER WORDS, WE DON'T GET MORE MONEY FOR INCLUDING MORE SCHOOLS. WE JUST HAVE TO SPLIT THE PIE DIFFERENTLY. SO UM, YOU GET A SMALLER AMOUNT THAT YOU'RE ABLE TO SEND TO THE MIDDLE SCHOOLS. CAUSE SOME OF THE WORK WE'RE DOING AND AGAIN. THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER RULES THAT ARE INCLUDED HERE BECAUSE IF THE SCHOOL REACHES OF. I THINK THE CUT OFF IF THEY GET TO ABOUT 75% THEY HAVE TO BE INCLUDED IN THE TITLE ONE FUNDING. SO IF WE HAD SCHOOLS THAT WERE TRIGGERED THAT. MANDATORY REQUIREMENT FOR USING THE FUNDS THERE. THEY HAVE TO BE INCLUDED, BUT AGAIN. NOT IN EFFECT WOULD TAKE. LARGE SUMS OF MONEY FROM THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS THAT HAVE THAT KIND OF WORKED INTO THE PROGRAM. SO I GUESS IT'S ALL I CAN SAY IS IF YOU CHOOSE TO INCLUDE THE NEXT LEVEL, WHETHER IT'S MIDDLE SCHOOLS OR HIGH SCHOOLS. THAT WOULD THEN GREATLY DIMINISH THE AMOUNT OF TITLE ONE FUNDS YOU CAN SEND TO THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL. SEPARATELY IN OUR BUDGET. WE ARE WORKING ON FINDING WAYS TO DIFFERENTIATE OUR FUNDING TO THE SCHOOLS FOR THE GREATER NEED, AND WE'RE LOOKING AT A CONCEPT OF WHAT WE'RE CALLING FOCUS SCHOOLS. WHICH ARE POORER SCHOOLS. BUT THOSE THAT ARE SORT OF TITLE WANTED JASON SO, IN OTHER WORDS, OUR TITLE ONE SCHOOLS REMAINED ARE POORER SCHOOLS OR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS IN PARTICULAR. THE FUNDING STAYS AT ELEMENTARY WE CAN'T. SUPPLANT THE MONEY WE USE THERE, SO THEY HAVE TO GET THAT. BUT IF WE DO ANYTHING FOR OUR POORER SCHOOLS BEYOND WHAT WE DO AT TITLE ONE, WE HAVE TO DO THAT FOR ALL OF THEM ALSO, SO THEY HAVE TO BENEFIT FROM ANYTHING WE DO. SO WE'RE LOOKING AT. HOW WE CAN ADD ADDITIONAL RESOURCES TO OUR OTHER POORER SCHOOLS, NAMELY OUR MIDDLE SCHOOLS AND A COUPLE OF OUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS THAT DON'T QUITE QUALIFIED TO BE ENTITLED ONE BUT OUR. AGAIN HAVE HIGHER LEVELS OF POVERTY THAN THE MAJORITY OF OUR SCHOOLS, SO WE'RE LOOKING AT WAYS TO DIFFERENTIATE THOSE FUNDS WITHOUT USING TITLE ONE, BECAUSE IF WE IF WE SPEND UM. WE INCLUDED MIDDLE SCHOOLS ENTITLED ONE THAT WOULD DRAMATICALLY DECREASE WHAT WE CAN SEND TO THE ELEMENTARY. YOU KNOW IF THAT MADE SENSE. BUT. 
          GET INTO A LOT OF DETAILS WITH HOW YOU HAVE TO HAVE COMPARABILITY ACROSS THE SCHOOLS AND, UM. YOU TRIGGER A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT RULES BECAUSE WE'RE DEALING WITH FEDERAL MONEY HERE. THAT ANSWERS MY QUESTION. THANK YOU. RIGHT AND THE OTHER. I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION. YES, MA'AM. SO WITH REGARD TO THE NORTH STAR INITIATIVE. THAT'S BUILT INTO THE BUDGET. IS THAT CORRECT? DOCTOR BOLSON RIGHT NOW? OUR INITIATIVES WITH NORTH STAR. OR NOTHING SEPARATE OR ANCILLARY TO THE CURRENT BUDGET. WE HAD ANYTHING NEW IN THE NEXT, BUT RIGHT NOW, EVERYTHING IS INCLUDED. IT'S ALL BEEN BUILT IN IF WE HAD ANYTHING NEW RELATED TO NORTH STAR, UM WE'LL HIGHLIGHT THAT WHEN WE BRING THE NEXT BUDGET FOR FORWARD. BUT ALSO BECAUSE A LOT OF WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH NORTH STAR IS CONSISTENT WITH WHAT'S COMING IN THROUGH THE BLUEPRINT. THINK YOU FIND SOME OF THOSE FUNDS BECAUSE WE SEE FUNDS COMING IN DIFFERENT PLACES. AND SO. WE CAN TALK ABOUT. THIS IS BLUE PRINT MONEY BECAUSE THAT'S ACTUALLY JUST AS WE SAID IN THIS YEAR'S BUDGET. MM WE HAVE A LOT MORE RESTRICTED MONEY INTO RESTRICTED BUDGET THAN WE NORMALLY DO, BECAUSE SO MUCH OF THE FEDERAL STIMULUS MONEY HAS BEEN RESTRICTED. ALSO A LOT OF THE BLUEPRINT MONEY IS STARTING TO SHOW UP IN THE RESTRICTED CATEGORY AS WELL. NORMALLY THAT WAS NORMALLY A SMALLER AMOUNT FORCE. IT'S JUST GREAT. BUT SOME OF THE BLUE PRINT MONEY IS BEING TARGETED TO SPECIFIC THINGS AND AGAIN THAT WILL COVER IN SOME CASES, THINGS THAT WE CONSIDERED PART OF OUR NORTH STAR INITIATIVE. SO IT'S GOING TO SHOW UP IN DIFFERENT PLACE. THANK YOU. ANY FURTHER. 
          ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, MR THANK YOU. OUR ON ITEM AGE PRESENTATION ON POTENTIAL

          [H. Superintendent's Report ]
QUICK FIRST, A CALENDAR REMINDER TO OUR FAMILIES. STUDENTS WILL HAVE EARLY DISMISSAL ON NOVEMBER 11TH FOR VETERANS DAY AND THEN OUR SCHOOLS WILL BE CLOSED ON NOVEMBER 12. OUR STAFF WILL BE PARTICIPATING IN PROFESSIONAL LEARNING CONFERENCE DURING THE CLOSURE TO STUDENT. THIS INFORMATION WILL BE SENT TO FAMILIES THROUGH CONNECT FIVE COMMUNICATION THIS WEEK. UH, PHONE AND IN PERSON COVERS AT THE BUILDINGS WILL RESUME ON MONDAY, NOVEMBER 15TH JUST QUICKLY ABOUT THE TRAINING BOARD. THE TRAINING FOCUS FOR THE DAY IS PROVIDING STRATEGY, TECH STRESS AND ANXIETY. THE LAST FEW YEARS HAVE BEEN MORE DIFFICULT, SO WE LOOK FORWARD TO STAFF HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY ENGAGE. AND PARTICIPATED, SELF GUIDED PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT MEANT TO REFOCUS AND REJUVENATE, SO A LOT OF WORK HAS GONE INTO THE PLANNING FOR THAT. BUT IT'S NOT JUST DEALING WITH. INDIVIDUAL STRESS BUT ALSO WORKING WITH STRESS AND STUDENTS. THERE'S A LOT OF TOPICS AROUND THAT WE'RE FOCUSED. IT FITS WELL AND THE CONCEPT OF THIS WEEK NOVEMBER 8 TO 12 THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY. 
          WE CELEBRATE NATIONAL SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGY WEEK TO HIGHLIGHT THE IMPORTANT WORK, PSYCHOLOGISTS AND OTHER EDUCATORS DO TO HELP STUDENTS THRIVE. MM ALSO THE LATEST EDITION, THE 2021 FALL EDITION OF INSPIRE MAGAZINE, WHICH IS THE MAGAZINE PUBLISHED BY OUR PARTNERS AT HARFORD COUNTY EDUCATION FOUNDATION. SENT EITHER HAVE ARRIVED ALREADY WILL BE ARRIVING SOON. AND FAMILIES HOMES EVEN IF YOU DON'T HAVE A STUDENT IN THE SYSTEM, YOU CAN ACCESS THE LATEST EDITION OF THAT MAGAZINE ON OUR WEBSITE ON THEIR WEBSITE. UM WE ALSO WANT YOU TO NOTE THAT.

WE RECOGNIZED BELLER MIDDLE SCHOOLS ARE FAMILY FRIENDLY AWARD WINNERS ARE SECOND ONE, SO OUR THIRD ONES COMING UP. UM ALSO ANOTHER CONGRATULATIONS. AND THIS IS ACTUALLY. I THINK IT'S IN MY COMMENTS HERE, BUT IT IS ATTACHED TO THE BLUEPRINT LEGISLATION. SO THIS IS KIND OF REFLECTIVE OF THE QUESTION THAT. MR CARDI ASKED HALLS. CROSSROAD IS JUST OPENING OUR SECOND JUDY CENTER IN HARFORD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS SO AS PART OF THE BLUEPRINT LEGISLATION, THEY INCREASED FUNDING FOR JUDY CENTERS AROUND THE STATE. UM WE RECEIVED A COMPETITIVE $330,000 GRANT FROM THE JUDITH P. HOYER EARLY CARE AND EDUCATION CENTER. MM THIS IS EXCITING BECAUSE THE CENTRAL FACT COMPREHENSIVE EARLY CARE AND. CATION SERVICES FOR YOUNG CHILDREN AND FAMILIES IN THE COMMUNITY EVEN BEFORE THEY BEGIN THE TRADITIONAL PRE K OR K CLASSES. THIS FORWARD PROGRAM, AS WE SAID, IS FUNDED THROUGH A GRANT BY MSD. AND MANY WE HAVE MANY PARTNERS WHO CONTRIBUTE AND HELP SO AND THEN I WOULD CLOSE WITH. AS I'VE SHARED BEFORE THE PRESENTATION I DID TONIGHT ABOUT OUR REPORT.
