THIS AUTHOR HAS BEEN ACCUSED OF ADMITS TO SEXUALLY HARASS. I'M ACTUALLY SICK TO MY STOMACH THINKING THAT ANY KID COULD GET HURRY IN THIS DISTRICT. ANY OF YOU FIND THIS.

SETTLE SEXUAL. THREE ACCEPTABLE ANY MINOR, REGARDLESS OF GENDER OR SEXUAL ORIENTATION, BECAUSE I DO NOT FIND THAT IT IS ACCEPTABLE. WHY DID THESE? WHY DO WE HAVE THESE BOOKS? WHY ARE YOU IMPLEMENTING THIS KIND? CRAP IN SCHOOL. WHY? ARE THE KIDS IN THE SECTIONS OR GROUPS AND THEN PAIR THEM AGAINST EACH OTHER. ORDER FOR WONDER TO FEEL BETTER. FEEL LEFT HOUSES BENEFITING ANYBODY. WHILE WE'RE DISTRACTED BY COAT THAT WE'RE GOING TO KEEP ON LOOKING AT ALL THE OTHER PROBLEMS, WE HAVE THIS. MONTH. I WAS STUNNED AS I LISTENED TO THE INFORMATION PRESENTED. MANY UNTRUE. THREE MINUTES. I PULLED TOO. TITLED VACCINE SAFETY. AND ON HERE, HE STATES. ONLY FOUR PEOPLE HAVE DIED. WORK. MAINSTREAM MEDIA. COUNT. WHICH, OF COURSE, IS NOT TRUE. DOES. IN FACT, HE ACCOUNTS THROUGH THE BACK. OTHERWISE KNOWN AS BEAR. WOULD HAVE GONE TO THE OFFICIAL THEIR SIGHT. HE WOULD HAVE DISCOVERED THAT AS OF NOVEMBER 19 THERE HAVE BEEN OVER. 19,000

[00:25:03]

ON THIS SLIDE. DATA HE PRESENT OR IN 95. RESPIRATORS, WHICH NOBODY IS USING. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS IS, HE SAID. SOURCES SO I CAN'T CHECK IT OUT. I DO KNOW, HOWEVER, THAT THERE ARE OVER 50 STUDIES ON NIH WEBSITE THAT STATES THAT IF YOU'RE USING ANYTHING LESS THAN IT AND 95, IT'S USELESS AGAINST THE SPINE. WHAT I FOUND ESPECIALLY ASTONISHING ABOUT THIS PRESENTATION IS THAT THE PRESENO PARENTS AT EVERY MEAL. ACCUSING US. THEN HE PRESENTS THIS PAROCHIAL BOOK REPORT COVID. IT CLEARLY DEMONSTRATES HE IS MOST CERTAINLY NOT FOLLOW. THE OTHER THING IS NOT ONE OF YOU HAD ANY QUESTIONS FOR HIM WHEN THIS OBVIOUS INFORMATION. IF THIS IS REALLY THE SILENCE SCIENCE THAT YOU GUYS ARE FOLLOWING THEN I HAVE NO TRUCK. BEING DONE TO OUR KIDS DEVASTATED. BUT YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO CHANGE THAT NOW. LEAVE. GET RID OF THE DUMB MAN.

STOP DISCRIMINATING AGAINST UNVACCINATED KID. I'M NOT SURE IF DR BAUER WAS PERFECTLY TRYING TO DECEIVE HCP. BUT HE SHOULD EXPLAIN WHY HE PRESENTED SUCH OBVIOUS. NATION, AND HE SHOULD ALSO APOLOGIZE. TO THE PARENT.

GOOD EVENING ON BEHALF OF THE HEART CARPET AND ACP. THANK YOU FOR HAVING US. I'D LIKE TO BEGIN BY THANKING THE BOARD FOR ITS LEADERSHIP AND UNWAVERING SUPPORT. IN DIVERSIFYING LITERATURE FOR OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS. REPRESENTATION MATTERS. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT WE SUPPORT POPULARIZED LITERATURE. THAT IS DIVERSE. THAT WE STUDY LITERATURE THAT'S WRITTEN BY EVERYONE, NOT JUST LIKE. THAT WE EMBRACE WORKS THAT SHED LIGHT. VARIOUS PERSPECTIVES AND BROADENED HORIZON. AS EDUCATION IS DESIGNED. WE MUST SUPPORT BOOKS THAT IS STILL THE SAME PRIDE. WHITE CHILDREN GET TO FEEL IN THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS. COLOR. BECAUSE EVERYONE DESERVES THIS. WHITE IS NOT THE DEFAULT. IT IS NOT THE STANDARD. NOT THE IDEAL. NORTH OF THE GOAL. OR IS IT WHAT'S RIGHT? OR IS IT THE TRUTH? IN ANY WAY SHAPE. CALL AMERICA A MELTING POT. IT'S TIME WE BEGIN TO ACT ON THIS IDEA. AND THE CHAMPION DIVERSITY AS THE STANDARD PUBLIC SCHOOL LIBRARIES ARE START. THANKS.

MARILYN.

SOME.

GETTING IMPORTANT EDUCATION. MY NAME IS JOSH KOZEL AND PROUD OF EVERYBODY THAT CAME OUT HERE TONIGHT. RIGHT? PART. I THINK IT'S REALLY SHOULD GO IN. RATIONS FOR NEXT YEAR

[00:35:04]

CHILDREN ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANYTHING. I HAVE TWO DAUGHTERS. HEAR THE STORIES ABOUT THE MENTAL HEALTH. NIGHT. ALLERGY AND I HOPE SO I KNOW IT'S. EFFORT TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR ZERO. AND NOT PUSH BACK AND SAY , OH, THIS IS JUST A TECHNICALITY WHERE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE TO DO. THIS BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING. HAS TO COMMUNICATE. I HAVE AN EMAIL HERE. 16TH OF NOVEMBER. AGAIN. LACK OF A BEING HERE. LACK OF COMMUNICATING. LACK OF JUST CARING FOR OUR CHILDREN IN THE EDUCATION. UNACCEPTABLE. HERE. WE HAVE THE ELECTION COMING. OLSON'S CONTRACT COMING UP IN JUNE OR JULY. LOT OF ACTIVITIES THAT ARE HAPPENING. A LOT OF THINGS THAT NEED TO BE FIXED NOW BEFORE THE DESTRUCTION HAPPENS, AND IT'S TAKEN INTO OR 56 YEARS FURTHER THAN IT NEEDS THEM. PLEASE STOP THIS TRUCK. THANKS. BY THE NAME. RYAN, WHICH OF. HAS THE SOUL OF AN. UM, IT HAS TURNED AMERICAN ADULTS FOR AT LEAST THE ONES WHO MAKE SELFISH NEUROTICS. IN AN ESSENTIAL OVER YEAR AND STILL CAN'T RESTRAIN THEMSELVES. A MASK. MANDATES ARE. WE'RE SUPPOSED TO EASE THEIR FEARS TO REASSURE THEM. THAT MONSTERS AREN'T HIDING UNDER THEIR BED. INSTEAD. FRIGHTENING THEM INTO BELIEVING THEY'RE BEING STALKED BY INVISIBLE MENACE IS WORKING IN THE AIR. WEARING MASK. IT WILL SCORE SOME OF THEM.

PSYCHOLOGICALLY AND MAYBE PHYSICALLY, TOO. BY HIDING, TEACHERS, LIFTS AND MUFFLING THEIR SPEED. MASK WEARING MAKES IT HARDER FOR YOUNG. ELOPING WAS THAT SKILL? AND PREVENT CHILDREN WITH HEARING IMPAIRMENTS FOR LIBERATING. UNABLE TO RELY ON FACIAL CUES, TEACHERS INSTEAD.

AGES ARE MORE LIKELY TO MISINTERPRET ONE AND. HOWEVER CHILDREN PREPARED TO DEVELOP SOCIAL SKILLS WHEN THEY CAN'T SEE ONE ANOTHER SPACES SPECIFIC HEATHER OR PLAY TOGETHER. THE MASKS HAVE BEEN PROVEN TO CAUSE HEADACHES AND MAKING IT MORE DIFFICULT TO CONCENTRATE. OTHER SIDE EFFECTS HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED, SUCH AS RELUCTANCE TO GO TO SCHOOL ON HAPPINESS, MALAISE IMPAIRED LEARNING, DROWSINESS, EMPATHY. THERE ALSO WAS A STUDY DONE. 0.6 CHILDREN'S MASKS. FIVE OUT OF THE SIX MASKS WERE FOUND TO HAVE CONTAMINATED BACTERIA, PARASITES AND FUNGI.

THREE WITH DANGEROUS PATHOGENIC. AND PNEUMONIA, CAUSING BACTERIA ANALYSIS DETECTED 11 DANGEROUS PATHOGENS AND THE MASKS. ONE THIRD OF THE MASK FOR CONTAMINATED WITH ONE OR MORE STRAINS OF MENINGITIS, CAUSING BACTERIA. ONE THIRD WERE CONTAMINATED. DANGEROUS ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANT BACTERIAL PATHOGENS THAT CAN CAUSE FEVER, ULCERS AND STREP THROUGH THESE

[00:40:04]

TIMES. LAST MONTHS. PART OF ME. ELSE TO SAY TO YOU, BUT. I AM A PSYCHIATRIC NURSE PRACTITIONER.

WITH OVER 30 YEARS EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVALUATED. FOUND. IT'S LIKN THESE, SIR. SOCIETY JUST MASTURBATION. EXISTING DISORDERS. EASTON IS A BEER. ALL RIGHT. THERE. SIDE. THIS IS WHAT INSPIRED. PARENTS ARE ADULTS WHO NEED. OR CONTROL OVER EVERYTHING , AND THIS PANDEMIC HAS IN SOME WAYS RUB. UHH THEY NEED CONTROL TO FEEL SICK. CHILDREN ARE PAYING THE PRICE. IN ORDER TO QUELL ADULT FEAR. THEY ARE NOT. CATEGORIES. SO ANY KIND OF MASK TAXI. CHRIS. KIDS ARE TYPICALLY ASYMPTOMATIC DESPITE WHAT TALKING HEADS SAY. TRADES FURS. MINUSCULE NATURAL IMMUNITY EXCEEDS THAT EFFECTS. THERE ARE 136 STUDIES TO SUPPORT THAT CLAIM CHALLENGED AND DR BEAR TO READ EACH AND EVERY I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT WILL TAKE. ACTUAL DATA. QUITE FRANKLY. TIRED. TELL. HERE IN MYSELF. I FEAR YOUR MOTIVATION TO TYNE, YOU. THE AD MANDATES MAY BE LINKED TO FEDERAL FUND. TO FOSTER A SAFE RETURN TO SCHOOL. FUNDING DEPENDENT ON THIS. YOU KNOW THAT I WILL FIND THAT OUT FOR SURE. PARENTS ARE AWAKE AND WINTER BUDGET COMES OR PUBLIC. HE ASSURED PARENTS WILL SHOW. ASK A QUESTION EVERY SINGLE SOLITARY. PARENTS WILL MASSIVE PRESSURE TO THE COUNTY COUNCIL TO BEAT OF THE TAKE EVERY ITEM. NOT LIKE THROUGH LIKE. ARE ACCUSTOMED TO HEARING. COUNTY COUNCIL WILL HAVE THE BACKING OF PARENTS WHO ARE MORE THAN AWARE. YOU'RE IN THE FIGHT OF YOUR LIFE COME SPRING. HEARD. MINDFUL OF THIS. DECISIONS ALWAYS HAVE CONSEQUENCES.

DR MUELLER THEM LATER SHARING THANK YOU NOT HAVE ANYONE CURRENTLY WAITING IN THE LOBBY. THERE'S NO. CABLE. THAT WILL BE THE CONCLUSION OVER PUBLIC COMMENT. SO NEXT, WE'RE

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

WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO PROVIDE COVID 19 VOLUNTARY SCREENING TESTING IN SCHOOLS WITH SCHOOL WIDE OUTBREAK STATUS. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE OUTBREAK STATUSES CAN MIRROR THE EXPERIENCE IN A COMMUNITY AS OUR STUDENTS AND FAMILIES ARE SO INTERCONNECTED, SO IT WILL TAKE ALL OF US WORKING TOGETHER AND OUR EFFORTS TO SPEAK. AND SCHOOL. I ALSO WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT TO REITERATE THAT OUR QUARANTINE GUIDANCE FOCUSES ON MASCULINE ACTIVITIES, WHICH IS MAINLY LUNCH AND. WE ANNOUNCED THIS PLAN ON SEPTEMBER 28TH THIS YEAR. THE MARYLAND DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH ALSO UPDATED THEIR GUIDANCE ON OCTOBER 27TH, WHICH INCLUDED THE OPTION WE INSTITUTED IN SEPTEMBER. OUR APPROACH ALIGNS WITH THE MIRROR THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH OPTION OF MODIFIED QUARANTINE WITH CORRECT AND CONSISTENT USE OF WELL FITTING MATH, AND THAT'S A QUOTE. AND ANOTHER QUOTE IS THE OPTION OF QUARANTINE CONNECT END AFTER DAY 10, IF NO SOMETIMES HAVE BEEN REPORTED DURING DAILY MONITORING. ALL FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT QUARANTINE, INCLUDING THESE DEFINITIONS CAN BE FOUND AT HTTPS DOT ORG IN THE COVID RESOURCES PAGE. THANK YOU . THIS CONCLUDES MY COMMENTS WITH THIS EVENING AND I'LL PASS IT TO MY COLLEAGUE MARY. THANK YOU, KATIE. THIS IS MARY MATSUDA , THE SUPERVISOR OF HEALTH SERVICES, AND I'LL KEEP MY COMMENTS SHORT TONIGHT. SINCE WE ARE PLEASED TO HAVE MS LINDA WAGNER FROM THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT. GIVE US SOME UPDATES TO MANY OF YOU MAY HAVE HEARD ABOUT THE MARYLAND DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH SERVER OUTAGE DUE TO NETWORK SECURITY INCIDENT TODAY. SO WE HAVE OUR DATA FROM

[00:50:03]

CASES AND DEATH RATES AGAIN. LIKE HOSPITALIZATIONS. THE DEATH RATES ARE VERY LOW AT THIS TIME, WHICH IS GOOD NEWS. HOPEFULLY THERE'S VACCINES ARE WORKING AN, HOSPITALIZATIONS AND DEATHS ON THE LOW SIDE. THE NEXT SLIDE SHOWS OF VACCINATIONS AND HARPER COUNTY. WE'RE AT ABOUT 78% OF 18 YEAR OLDS AND UP WHO HAVE REALLY SAVED AT LEAST ONE DOSE, WHICH IS A GOOD THING. WE'RE UP ABOUT 60% FOR FULLY VACCINATED. HARPER COUNTY RESIDENT. THE ONE THING WE'RE STILL A LITTLE WORRIED ABOUT, ESPECIALLY IN LIGHT OF OMICRON MAYBE SNEAKING IN IS THAT THE BOOSTERS THAT PEOPLE HAVE RECEIVED ONLY 32% OF ELIGIBLE PEOPLE HAVE RECEIVED BOOSTERS. THEY WERE REALLY ENCOURAGING THAT KIND OF WHAT I HAD SAID LAST TIME I WAS HERE TO JUST GET BOOSTER, ESPECIALLY YOUR ELDERLY. VULNERABLE UM, I MEAN IT COMPROMISED FOLKS, ESPECIALLY GET THEM BOOSTER DIFF. YOU CAN MOVE IT INTO THE HOLIDAYS AS WE'RE GOING TO PROBABLY GOING MORE INDOORS AND TOGETHER. THE NEXT SLIDE. SHOWS JUST SPECIFIC NUMBERS FOR VACCINATIONS. THAT KIND OF STEPPED ONE SIDE. I THINK THE BARRIER SO JUST AT THE BOTTOM THERE, I JUST WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THAT 19% OF OUR 5 TO 11 TO REALLY PROUD THAT WE'RE. THERE HAS BEEN SOME INTEREST IN THIS

[00:55:02]

EVERYBODY ELSE HAS KIND OF. SORT OF FLATTENED. WE ARE GETTING SOME INTEREST IN THE BOOSTERS JUST MADE BECAUSE I'M A CRON'S IN THE NEWS, AND THAT'S THE WINTER MONTHS ARE APPROACHING.

SO THAT'S KIND OF GOOD NEWS THAT THE FIVE YEAR BUT 2 11 YEAR OLD INTERESTED. AND THIS LIKE KIND OF JUST GOES ALONG WITH THAT LAST ONE, SHOWING THE TRENDS IN OUR YOUNGER AGES. 5 TO 11. NICE STEADY TREND WORD UP. PEOPLE INTERESTED IN THE VACCINE KIND OF MIRRORS WHAT WE SAW WITH OUR 12 TO 15 YEAR OLDS AND ARE 16 TO 9 YEAR OLDS. THEY ARE INTERESTED IN THE VACCINE, WHICH IS GOOD.

NOW, AS WE MOVE INTO THESE NEXT FEW SLIDES, I'M GONNA JUST TAKE A LITTLE BIT CLOSER LOOK AT CHILDREN AND COVID AND SOME OF THE SPECIFIC DATA SURROUNDING THAT. THIS AGAIN SHOWS SOME OF THE. US CASES TOTAL BEFORE WE SAW THE HARPER COUNTY CASES FOR CHILDREN. THIS IS MORE OF US ACROSS THE BOARD. AND JUST KIND OF NOTE ON THAT RIGHT HAND SIDE THERE. IT'S WE'VE SEEN GREATER THAN 1.9 MILLION CASES AMONG OUR CHILDREN, 5 TO 11 YEAR OLDS. SO BOTTOM LINE IS OUR CHILDREN DEFINITELY ARE GETTING COVID. BUT THANKFULLY, MOST OF THESE ILLNESSES HAVE BEEN VERY MILD.

NEXT SLIDE. HERE WE SEE THE ACTUAL PROPORTIONS OF CASES THROUGHOUT THE US. BEEN LOOKING AT CHILDREN SPECIFICALLY ARE 5 TO 11 MAKEUP, PROBABLY THE GREATEST PORTION OF THE TOTAL CHILDHOOD CASES. IT'S ABOUT. IT'S A LITTLE ACTUALLY HIRE A LITTLE BIT HIGHER THAN 10.6% IT'S KIND OF LIKE 11 TO 12% RIGHT NOW, LOOKING BACK OVER THAT THIS LAST YEAR AND A HALF.

OF COVID. THE NEXT SLIDE SHOWS HOSPITALIZATION. LUCKILY HOSPITALIZATIONS AND DEATHS ARE LOW. THAT HIGHEST PEAK THERE. AT THE BLUE LINE IS R 0 TO 4 YEAR OLD. POSSIBLY ASSOCIATED WITH THE FACT THAT WE ARE VERY CAUTIOUS WITH OUR LITTLE ONES THAT PEOPLE TEND TO TAKE THEM TO THE HOSPITAL HIGHER, AND THAT'S PROBABLY WHY THOSE NUMBERS ARE A LITTLE BIT HIGHER THAN THE OTHER AGES. THIS NEXT SIDE SHOWS THE CUMULATIVE RATES OF, UM COVID 19 , ASSOCIATED HOSPITALIZATIONS AND UNDERTAXED ADOLESCENCE THE 12 TO 17 YEAR OLDS. VERSUS THE FULLY BAXTER. ADOLESCENCE AND THE UNVACCINATED LESSONS WAS ABOUT 12 TIMES HIGHER INCIDENTS THAN THE FULLY BACK. SO IT IS SHOWING THAT THE VACCINES ARE KEEPING THOSE ILLNESSES ON THE LOWER MILDER SIDE. WHICH IS WHICH IS GOOD NEWS. WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH DATA REGARDING OUR 5 TO 11 IS YET TO COMPARE VAX VS ON BACKS AT THIS TIME. BUT HOPEFULLY WE'LL GATHER THAT SOON AS THE VACCINES ARE ROLLING OUT.

NOW, THE NEXT SLIDE SHOWS WITH HEARD KATIE TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE OUTBREAKS. BEING THAT THE SCHOOLS ARE EXPERIENCING RIGHT NOW OUTBREAK INVESTIGATIONS HAVE DEMONSTRATED EFFICIENT TRANSMISSION AMONG CHILDREN AND ADULTS AND PARTICULARLY SECONDARY TRANSMISSION. IT IS DEFINITELY BEING SEEN FROM YOUNG CHILDREN IN PARTICULAR, WHICH IS OCCURRING IN OUR HOUSEHOLDS IN OUR SCHOOL SETTINGS. AND THIS GRAPHIC JUST KIND OF SHOWS HOW IT WORKS WITH THAT INITIAL PRIMARY CASES THAT BLACK DOT AND YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE OTHER CASES. THAT UM, THAT WILL OCCUR . THAT TRANSMISSION IS OCCURRING THROUGHOUT THE CLASSROOM SOMETIMES ENDS UP WITH A SIBLING SOMETIMES ENDS UP WITH A PARENT AND THAT'S KIND OF SHOWING THE SPREAD. SO WE KIND OF CALL THIS SECONDARY TRANSMISSION AND IT AND IT IS COMMON AND WE'RE SEEING IT A LOT RIGHT NOW.

ESPECIALLY IN LIGHT OF CASE COUNTS GOING UP. NEXT SLIDE. THIS NEXT SIDE, JUST KIND OF LOOKS AT TWO OF THE LONG TERM EFFECTS WE'RE SEEING IN OUR CHILDREN IN PARTICULAR ON THE ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SCREEN, THE MULTI SYSTEM INFLAMMATORY SYNDROME AND CHILDREN. ON THE RARE SIDE, BUT WE ARE SEEING IT OVER 5000 CASES WERE REPORTED NATIONALLY. AND 44% OF THESE OCCURRED IN CHILDREN AGED 5 TO 11. YOU CAN SEE THAT HIGHEST BAR GRAPH THERE. AND AMONG THOSE CHILDREN 5 TO 11. THERE WERE NINE REPORTED DEATHS ASSOCIATED WITH HIM. SO AM I ASKED TO SEE.

SO IT IS DEFINITELY A CONCERN SOMETHING WE WANT TO WATCH FOR. SOME OF THE SYMPTOMS. YOU MIGHT SEE YOUR CARDIAC RELATED RESPIRATORY AND KIDNEY FUNCTION FAILURE SO. I JUST WANT TO KEEP AN EYE ON THAT AND KEEP OUR KIDS PROTECTED. LONG CURVING ALONG, BUT WE KIND OF TALKED ABOUT THIS A LITTLE BIT LAST TIME. LONG COVID OR POST COVID CONDITIONS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH. FATIGUE DIFFICULTY CONCENTRATING SOME BREATHING ISSUES, HEADACHES. AND YOU CAN SEE ON THE SCRIPT THAT.

[01:00:06]

HOWEVER OUR IMMUNE SYSTEMS ARE VERY STRONG. AND IT'S LIKELY. THAT MODEST LEVELS OF NEUTRALIZING ANYBODY'S THAT WE HAVE EITHER NATURALLY OR SCREW VACCINE WILL HELP PROTECT US FROM SEVERE FORMS OF COVID COVID 19 ASSOCIATED WITH THIS VARIANT. THE NEXT SLIDE, JUST TALKING A LITTLE BIT MORE OF THE IMPACT THE VACCINE. EFFICACY IS SOMETHING WE'RE LOOKING INTO OUR VACCINES GOING TO STILL BE EFFECTIVE. THIS IS STILL TENDING VACCINATION EVENT DISSIPATED TO CONTINUE TO OFFER PROTECTION AGAINST HOSPITALIZATION AND DEATHS. AND THERE MIGHT BE SOME MILD DISEASE ASSOCIATED WITH US . BUT HOPEFULLY AGAIN, THERE'S MORE SEVERE CASES ARE GOING TO HOLD UP WITH THE VACCINES. THE IT'LL BE CURIOUS TO SEE HOW THREE DOSES OF MMR ANY COMPARED TO THE TWO DOSES IF WE ARE MORE PROTECTED WITH THAT THIRD THEORETICALLY, THAT DOES MAKE SENSE BECAUSE THAT THIRD DOSE. IT'S GOING TO BOOST HER. THOSE NEUTRALIZED NEUTRALIZING ANYBODY'S, TOO. PROTECT USE MORE GIVE YOU STRONGER PROTECTION AGAINST THE VIRUS. TESTING RIGHT

[01:05:01]

LABORATORY STUDIES, OF COURSE TO DETERMINE THE IMPACT OF THE VACCINES, THERAPEUTICS AND DIAGNOSTICS, MAKING SURE THOSE ARE ALL WORKING AGAINST MACRON. TRAVEL RECOMMENDATIONS HAVE BEEN PUT OUT. PEOPLE WHO ARE ON BAXTER NOT BELIEVE OR WHO ARE UNWELL OR ARE AT RISK FOR COVID 19 ARE ENCOURAGED, OF COURSE TO NOT TRAVEL TO AREAS WITH HIGH TRANSMISSION OF DEMOCRATIC.

THAT'S THE NATION. WE'RE JUST ENCOURAGING VACCINATION. IT'S BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN THE PAST FOR THE VARIANCE AND LOOKING LIKE THERE WILL BE A GOOD STRATEGIC MITIGATION STRATEGY FOR THIS AS WELL. CONTINUED MITIGATION THAT LAYERED APPROACH LIKE WE'VE TALKED ABOUT FOR MANY, MANY MONTHS NOW MASKING, IMPROVING VENTILATION, DISTANCING HAND WASHINGTON TESTING. I JUST CAN'T STRESS ENOUGH HOW VALUABLE ALL THESE TOOLS ARE. TO KEEP US SAFE FROM THIS INFECTION, BOTH IN SCHOOL AND OUT. AND I THINK THAT IS THE END OF MY PRESENTATION. IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS, FEEL FREE TO REACH OUT TO THE. PARKER COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT. OUR PHONES ARE STILL WORKING, BUT THANKFULLY AND THEIR EMAILS ARE WORKING. THANK YOU. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? DR BAUER. THANK YOU. SO FLIGHT ATTENDANT QUESTION. DURING PUBLIC COMMENTS . WE AGAIN HAD SOMEONE BRING UP THE BEARS VACCINE THAT FIRST FEG SYSTEM. CAN YOU TALK ABOUT IT BRIEFLY. AND. I GUESS IT'S PURPOSE IN HELL. THE. THE NUMBERS AND DATA THERE REALLY? YES THE IT'S A GREAT SYSTEM.

IT'S THE PUBLIC CAN ACTUALLY. UM, YOU KNOW, REPORT THESE OUTCOMES. THE V SAFE ALSO BE SAFE, WHICH WAS PUT OUT FOR THE VACCINES AFTER YOU'VE GOTTEN YOUR VACCINE. IF YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED ANY ADVERSE REACTIONS, YOU CAN REPORT IT TO BE SAFE, WHICH IS KIND OF TIED INTO THEIRS AS WELL. THERE'S WE WILL USE THAT AS PROVIDERS, IF THERE IF WE HEAR OF ANY ADVERSE REACTIONS FROM CLIENTS. FAMILIES DOCTORS OFFICES WE CAN WE COULD SUBMIT THOSE REPORTS MGH AND CDC WILL LOOK AT ALL THAT DATA KIND OF COMPILE IT. SEE IF THERE'S ANY COMMONALITIES AND THEN DEFINITELY TO STOP ANY KIND OF ISSUE THAT MIGHT COME UP IF THERE'S A. PARTICULAR SYMPTOMS ASSOCIATED WITH A PARTICULAR VACCINE DEFINITELY WILL HIGHLIGHT THAT AND TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION. AND IF SOMETIMES THEY GILLIAN BERET HAS BEEN NOTED AS A FACT OF VACCINE ADVERSE REACTION. MEYER CARD, OF COURSE, WAS HIGHLIGHTED IN SOME OF THESE THINGS. NONE OF THESE PARTICULARLY ASSOCIATED WITH COVID, BUT JUST DIDN'T PASSED IN GENERAL FLU, SOMETIMES WITH BILLIONS GRAY. YEAH, DEFINITELY A GREAT TOOL. TO MONITOR THINGS. SO I WANTED TO CLARIFY. WE HAVE PEOPLE WHO THINK THAT. BECAUSE THERE HAVE BEEN 19,000 OR WHATEVER DEATHS REPORTED THERE.

OH, AFTER GETTING THE VACCINE THAT THAT MEANS THAT THE VACCINES HAVE ACTUALLY CAUSED THAT MANY DEATHS. YES SO WE CAN'T REALLY PUT UP CAUSALITY TO THESE. THESE ARE MAINLY TO NOTEO REMEMBER THAT NIGHT. YES, 19,000 IS A HUGE NUMBER. BUT LOOKING OVERALL HOW MANY VACCINES THEY'RE GOING TO COMPARE THAT TO ACTUALLY HOW MANY VACCINES HAVE BEEN DONE. MILLIONS AND MILLIONS

[01:10:01]

WE DON'T TAKE COMMENTS FROM THE AUDIENCE AT THIS TIME. THANK YOU. OKAY WAS THERE ANY OTHER BOARD MEMBERS WHO HAD A COMMENT TO MAKE. AFTER BOLSON. WAS THERE ANYTHING ELSE THAT YOU WANTED TO ADD? OKAY, SO WE'RE MOVING ON. TO THE DECISION ON THE ADMINISTRATIVE AND SUPERVISORY

I WAS ABLE TO BREACH SOME OF YOU ABOUT BUT. A COUPLE OF THE OBSERVATIONS AROUND THE STATE. ANOTHER NUMBER OF SCHOOL DISTRICTS THAT HAVE GONE BACK AND LOOKED AT THE CALENDARS TO TRY TO IDENTIFY ADDITIONAL TIME TO ALLOW THEIR TEACHERS, PARTICULARLY FOR PLANNING. UM, WHAT WE'RE SEEING HERE. IS. WITH THE EXTENSIVE ABSENCES WE'RE SEEING FROM. PLOYS IN PARTICULAR ARE TEACHERS ARE VERY OFTEN BEING CALLED ON TO COVER FOR EACH OTHER, AND THUS LOSING A LOT OF THEIR PLANNING TIME. AND THAT'S JUST CONTRIBUTING TO THE DIFFERENT WORKLOAD. I'M DEALING WITH. THEY'RE PLANNING FOR THE REGULAR CLASSES AND THEN TRYING TO SUPPORT STUDENTS HAVE BEEN QUARANTINED. THIS DISRUPTION IS NOT EASY FOR ANYBODY. CERTAINLY NOT EASY FOR STUDENTS SOURCE FAMILIES, BUT IT'S ALSO DON'T

[01:25:07]

AND THEN ON THURSDAY PRIOR TO EASTER, WE ALSO HAVE A FULL DAY DESIGNATED AS A PROFESSIONAL DEVELOP. ADDITIONALLY THE TUESDAY FOLLOWING EASTER, WHICH IS APRIL 19TH. WE ALSO HAVE A FULL PROFESSIONAL DAY PLAN. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE CONTINUE TO HAVE SOME PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN ACCOUNT, AND THERE'S SO MUCH THAT PEOPLE ARE WORKING THROUGH AND LEARNING AND SO I DON'T WANT TO COMPLETELY ELIMINATED PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. BUT WHAT I AM PROPOSING IS THAT APRIL 13TH HALF DAY. IN APRIL 14TH THE FULL DAY. NOW BE CONSIDERED SYSTEM WIDE CLOSURES. AGAIN TO PROVIDE TIME AND AS A GESTURE TO THOSE STAFF. THIS WAS A MOVE THAT WE CAN MAKE. WITHOUT AFFECTING STUDENTS SCHEDULES. WHICH IS WHY I OPENED THAT NEEDS TO BE IN YOUR MOTION. BUT IT'S A ACKNOWLEDGEMENT TO OUR FOLKS WHO ARE ABSOLUTELY I SEE EVIDENCE OF IT EVERY DAY, THE EXTRA WORK THEY'RE DOING, AND SO THIS WOULD GIVE THEM ESSENTIALLY A STEMMED. THEIR SPRING BREAK FROM, YOU KNOW, A LONG WEEKEND. TO ADD ANOTHER DAY AND A HALF TO THAT SO THAT WOULD BE IN THE AFTERNOON OF APRIL 13TH. ALL OF APRIL, 14TH WOULD BE NOW. FOR MY DISTRICT CLOSURE AND THEN BUT WE STILL DO. INTEND TO CONDUCT A PROFESSIONAL GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES THAT PD ON APRIL 19TH, WHICH. SO, WITH THAT SET BACK TO WHERE HEALTH CARE. I WOULD ASK YOU TO MAKE A MOTION AND SUPPORT MY RECOMMENDATION TO CONVERT JANUARY 21ST MARCH FOUR. APRIL 1ST MAY SAY. TWO EARLY RELEASES FOR. SO BEFORE I TAKE A MOTION, WHERE THERE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM THE BOARD MEMBERS, PLEASE JUST RAISE YOUR END. PATRICE MR CARTY. WE'VE HAD SOME CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THIS AS WELL. AND MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE'RE GOING TO NEED MOVING FORWARD THAT THIS BE ADDRESSED WITH THE CURRENT CALENDAR COMMITTEE FOR THE NEW YEAR. THE LAST NUMBER. THERE IS A PROPOSAL TO. WITH THE CURRENT STRUCTURE OF THE CALENDAR. IT WOULD BE HARD TO ADMIT HIM MORE DAYS, BUT WE DID INCLUDE MORE. BUT I DO THINK REALLY WORK.

DOES THIS MEAN MEET THE STATE GUIDELINES OF TEACHING HOURS AND UNION GUIDELINES OF TEACHING GAME? I AM PLANNING TIME. JUST WE INCLUDE SOMETHING THAT WOULD KIND. YES WE STILL MEET THAT THE TOTAL NUMBER OF DAYS AND WE ALSO MEET THE REQUIRED NUMBER OF HOURS. BRING US A LITTLE CLOSER AT THE SECONDARY LEVEL WITH OURS, AND SO WE'LL HAVE TO WATCH THAT CAREFULLY. WE HAVE SCHOOL CLOSURES AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SOMETHING. WE HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE ON. ELEMENTARY LEVEL WE HAVE ADEQUATE. NUMBER OF HOURS BUILT IN, BUT WE'RE A LITTLE CLOSER. THANK YOU. DR BAUER.

UH UPDATING CONTRACTS GETTING COMMUNITY INPUT ON BIGGER CALENDAR CHANGES. UM, QUICK QUESTION. ON THIS PARTICULAR I GUESS DISCUSSION. HELP CRITICAL OUR OUR IMMEDIATE NEEDS, FOR EXAMPLE , SUBSTITUTES.

THROUGHOUT THE PANDEMIC. WE HAVEN'T SEEN A BIGS RESIGNATION. OUR NUMBERS HAVE BEEN FAIRLY SIMILAR. SEE IT FAR WORSE. HOWEVER I THINK WITH THIS PARTICULAR FALL AND IMMENSE FRUSTRATION THAT EVERYONE HAS HAD, HOW LONG IS THIS CARRYING ON? BY THE. GIRLS WE ARE WE HAVE NOW SEEN IN. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WE WERE. AND RESIGNATIONS AND RETIREMENT. YEAR BEYOND, BUT WE. HAS A LITTLE BIT TO DO WITH AND I THINK THAT'S JUST A COMPOUNDED EFFORT. WITH THE ONGOING NATURE OF HMM. TO KIND OF COME BACK AND. AND OR THESE THINGS ARE CONFRONTING. FOR SUCH A LONG PERIOD OF TIME COVERING THE CLASSIC. SO YES, THAT IS THERE IS CAUSING TROUBLE ON EVERY FRONT. MM. YOU KNOW, WE

FIND OTHER WAYS TO CREATE MORE STUFF. IN TERMS OF THE NUMBER OF VACANCIES GOING UNADDRESSED EVERY DAY. THAT'S SOMETHING I HAVE TO GO BACK AND GET MORE SPECIFIC INFORMATION FROM MR RICHARDSON. WE DO TRACK THAT. HAVE THAT AVAILABLE TO ME, BUT, YOU KNOW, HEARING FOR THE ANECDOTAL REPORTS FROM TEACHERS ABOUT HOW WE TOTALLY THEY'RE BEING CALLED TO COVER IS REALLY WHAT. SO JUST AS A CLARIFICATION THE DAYS FOR STEP. WILL NOT CHANGED BY THE CHANGE OF DESIGNATION ON PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT DAYS. IT'S BEEN VERY WON'T BE. CORRECT. WE WON'T BE HAVING DAYS FOR THIS, OKAY?
