[A. Board Member Comments]

HOWEVER, THAT'S A DIFFERENT DISCUSSION FOR A DIFFERENT I ASKED DR BOLTON LAST WEEK. IF THERE WERE ANY REALLY THERE REALLY ANY CONSEQUENCES IF HARPER COUNTY CHOSE TO DEFY THE MARYLAND STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION AND REMOVE MASK MANDATES. CONTRARY TO WHAT YOU MAY HAVE HEARD, EITHER DURING PRIOR BOARD DISCUSSION, PUBLIC COMMENTS GO THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA. DR BOLSON CONFIRMED MY IMPRESSION THAT THERE ARE INDEED FINANCIAL LEGAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE CONSEQUENCE. IF THE SCHOOL SYSTEM ACTED IN DEFIANCE OF THE STATE BOARD REQUIREMENTS. BUT IT WAS HIS NEXT COMMENT, WHICH RESONATED THE MOST WITH ME. HE SAID RHETORICALLY. WHAT MESSAGE DO WE SEND TO OUR STUDENTS? IF WE SHOW THEM THAT IT IS OKAY TO BREAK THE RULES. WHO DECIDES WHAT RULES MUST BE FOLLOWED. WHAT RULES CAN BE BROKEN. SO WHO DOES GET TO CHOOSE THE RULES? WHO DECIDES IF IT'S OKAY TO BREAK THE RULES AND WHO DECIDES WHICH RULES WE SHOULD BE FOLLOWING. AND WHICH ONES WE CAN VIOLATE. IF EVERYONE LIVED BY THEIR OWN SET OF RULES. WE'D BE LIVING IN ANARCHY. THINK OF THE CONSEQUENCES OF SOME FOLKS DECIDED THAT THEY WOULD ONLY OBEY STOPLIGHTS. THE NUT STOP SIGNS. THE RULE IS YOU STOP IT BOTH. RULES ARE RULES AND AS A SOCIETY WE'VE ACCEPTED. THAT CERTAIN PEOPLE ARE ASSIGNED RULE MAKERS. WE DON'T LIKE THE RULES. WE GET THEM CHANGED BY A PROPER CHANNEL. WE DON'T MAKE UP OUR

[00:05:08]

22ND. I BELIEVE. AND IF THEY DECIDE TO ELIMINATE THE MASK MANDATES STATEWIDE. THEN IT BECOMES A LOCAL DECISION. AT THAT POINT. YOU CAN HOLD OUR FEET TO THE FIRE. BUT UNTIL THAT TIME WERE OBEYING ALL THE RULES. AND HIS DOCTOR BOLSON POINTED OUT IN OUR LITTLE DISCUSSION.

THE MESSAGE WE ARE TRYING TO SEND TO OUR STUDENTS. THAT WE DO NOT GET TO CHILL. CHOOSE WHICH RULES TO OBEY. AND THIS, I BELIEVE CAN BE A GOOD TEACHING MOMENT FOR PARENTS AS WELL.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, DR PHILLIPS, MISS KELLY. UM EXCUSE ME. HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY I ONE THING I DID WANT TO SAY, AND THAT'S MORE OF A POSITIVE. NOTE IS I WANTED TO CONGRATULATE THE AG PROGRAM AT NORTH HARFORD HIGH SCHOOL, THEY WELCOMED A LITTER OF 14 PIGLETS. INTO THE PROGRAM, AND I THINK THAT IT'S PRETTY COOL.

[00:15:03]

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY TO EVERYONE. I WANT TO KEEP IT BRIEF, BUT I JUST WANTED TO EXPRESS MY THANKS TO EVERY HCPS , TEACHER, ADMINISTRATOR, PEER EDUCATOR CUSTODIAN. STAFF MEMBER AND BOARD MEMBER WHO HAS STOOD STRONG AND DONE WHAT IS BEST FOR THE STUDENTS OF THIS COUNTY.

DESPITE THE PRESSURE AND SOMETIMES OUTRIGHT BULLYING FROM COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND PARENTS.

IT'S UNFAIR WHAT YOU HAVE ENDURED SIMPLY FOR THE SAFETY OF THE SCHOOL COMMUNITY AND FOLLOWING THE RULES SET BY THE STATE. I APPLAUD YOU FOR KEEPING THE SAFETY OF STUDENTS AND FAMILIES. HELLO HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY. AND FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE SINGLE, HAPPY FEBRUARY, 14TH. MY NAME IS ROB TUCKERMAN HCPS, EDUCATOR AND CITIZEN OF HARFORD COUNTY PUBLIC HARVARD COUNTY. MY LOCAL SCHOOL IS CHURCH CREEK. I'M HAPPY TO MENTION THAT ONE OF OUR OWN WAS NAMED AS A FINALIST FOR A TEACHER OF THE YEAR. IT'S NICE TO GET TO CELEBRATE THE EXCELLENCE OF OUR COLLEAGUES EACH YEAR IN THIS WAY. AND SPEAKING OF EXCELLENCE, I WOULD LIKE TO OFFER A FULL THROATED ENDORSEMENT OF DR POLSON TO BE RENEWED AS OUR SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS, AND I'D LIKE TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHY WHEN DR WILSON WAS HIRED, HE INHERITED WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE AN UNSUSTAINABLE ALLEGATION OF RESOURCE IS DESIGNED BY HIS PREDECESSORS TO DISGUISE THE FACT THAT OUR SCHOOLS WERE SEVERELY AS AS SEVERELY UNDERFUNDED AS THEY WERE. HE MADE A VERY PAINFUL DECISION TO CUT POSITIONS IN HIS FIRST YEAR , BUT I WASN'T MAD AT HIM BECAUSE FOR THE FIRST TIME A SUPERINTENDENT HAD TAKEN THE TIME TO THOROUGHLY EXPLAIN THE REASONS WHY NOW WHATEVER DECISIONS HE HAS MADE SENSE AND I STRUGGLE TO THINK OF ANY DISASTROUS ONES. DOCTOR BOLSON WILL ALWAYS TELL YOU MAYBE A LITTLE TOO EXTENSIVELY THE REASONING BEHIND HIS DECISIONS. LET'S BE HONEST, SEAN, YOU'RE VERY LONG. DON'T FIRE ME, PLEASE. BUT. WE WANT THAT TRANSPARENCY. WE NEED THAT TRANSPARENCY. THE DECISION BY THE WAY EXPOSED TO THE PUBLIC JUST HOW UNDERFUNDED OUR SCHOOLS WERE, AND WE HAVE FINALLY STARTED THE LONG JOURNEY TO IMPROVING THAT FUNDING AS A RESULT. IN THE PAST. I'D SAY THAT THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HCPS AND THE EDUCATORS IN THE CLASSROOM WAS FRAUGHT. AND THAT WAS IN NO SMALL PART. THANKS TO THE LEADERSHIP AT THE TOP THAT DOESN'T IT FEEL GOOD TO BE WORKING COLLABORATIVELY WITH YOUR WORKERS IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE CHILDREN THAT WE SERVE? I DON'T BELIEVE THAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED WITH AN INTERNAL HIGHER AND I DON'T BELIEVE IT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF IT WERE NOT FOR DR WILSON SEASON. NOW WE'VE ALL BEEN THROUGH HELL AND BACK, AND THAT MUCH IS TRUE. BUT HE HAS STUCK WITH US AND DID THE HARD WORK WHEN MANY OTHER SUPERINTENDENTS IN THIS NATION RAN, KICKING AND SCREAMING FROM THE JOB. AND EVEN IF YOU DISAGREE WITH MY ASSERTION THAT HE DID COVID PRETTY WELL, WE SHOULD STICK BY HIM TO IF NOTHING ELSE, WAYS YOUR JUDGMENT. PLEASE THINK OF OUR STUDENTS OR THINK OF ME. THINK OF HOW MUCH I LIKE BRAGGING TO MY COLLEAGUES WORKING ANOTHER COUNTY'S THAT MY SUPERINTENDENT IS BETTER THAN THEIRS. THE ANSWER IS A LOT AND I'D LIKE TO KEEP DOING IT, BUT IN ALL SERIOUSNESS I SEE A LOT OF FOLKS TOLD A LOT OF THINGS BY

[00:20:06]

SCHOOLS ARE NOT GOING TO BE FIXED BY MASKS, AND THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE FIXED BY UNMASKING.

THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE FIXED BY REFUSAL TO TALK ABOUT SLAVERY OR THE HOLOCAUST OR BY THE BANNING OR BURNING OF BOOKS. THEY'RE GOING TO BE FIXED BY ORGANIZING UNDER THE STEADFAST BELIEF THAT PUBLIC SCHOOLS ARE AN ABSOLUTE GOOD AND THAT SHOULD NEVER BE CORRUPTED OR NEGLECTED. AND ON THAT NOTE, I'D LIKE TO IMPLORE ALL OF YOU HERE AND AT HOME TO TURN OUT AND DEMANDED OUR SCHOOLS BEFORE THEY FUNDED. THAT PROCESS IS HAPPENING NOW. THEY'RE GOING TO BE FIXED BY EMPOWERING TEACHERS, NOT CONTROLLING THEM. AND THEY'RE GOING TO BE FIXED BY PEOPLE LIKE SEAN, WHO WILL WORK DAY IN AND DAY OUT TO REALIZE THE IDEAL OF PUBLIC EDUCATION. THANK YOU, DOCTOR. BOLSON. THANK YOU FOR. I'M CALLED BY ANNA, WHERE. GOOD EVENING. IT HAS BEEN 700 DAYS SINCE OUR SCHOOLS LOCKDOWN. OUR CHILDREN'S BEAUTIFUL FACES AND EXPRESSIONS HAVE BEEN HIDDEN BY THESE MESSAGES RETURNING TO SCHOOL AND THEIR LIVES TURNED UPSIDE DOWN. MASKING IN ITS GPS SCHOOLS SHOULD BE AN OPTION AS PARENTS WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO CHOOSE WHAT IS BEST FOR OUR FAMILIES. IT HAS BEEN PROVEN THAT WEARING A K N 95 MASK PROTECTS THE PERSON WEARING IT.

SO IF I WERE A K N 95 MASK, AND YOU DON'T WEAR ONE, BUT I AM PROTECTED. WE DO NOT CO PARENT WITH THE GOVERNMENT POLICIES AND DECISIONS THAT YOU AS A BORDER, MAKING DIRECTLY IMPACT OUR CHILDREN'S MENTAL HEALTH AND WELL BEING, AS WELL AS THEIR LEARNING, ENVIRONMENT AND EDUCATION. OUR CHILDREN ARE STRUGGLING MENTALLY, PHYSICALLY AND EMOTIONALLY. I'M ASKING IS DIRECTLY CONTRIBUTING TO THE STRUGGLES MASKING IS A VISUAL REMINDER TO EACH STUDENT IN HCPS THAT IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE, THEIR LIVES CAN BE TURNED UPSIDE DOWN AGAIN. MASKING IS A VISUAL REMINDER THAT AT ANY GIVEN SECOND, YOU MAY HAVE TO QUARANTINE AND YOUR GRADES WILL ONCE AGAIN PLUMMET. I'M ASKING AS A VISUAL REMINDER THAT AT ANY GIVEN SECOND, THE SPORTS THAT ARE AN INTEGRAL PART OF HIGH SCHOOL CAN ONCE AGAIN BE TAKEN AWAY. NO WONDER OUR CHILDREN ARE STRUGGLING. WE SPEAK ABOUT OPPRESSION IN THE LONG LASTING EFFECTS THAT IT HAS HAD IN OUR HISTORY AND HOW DETRIMENTAL IT IS TO THOSE BEING OPPRESSED. YOU ARE OPPRESSING EACH HCPS STUDENT BY MAKING THEM MORE MASKS AND ENFORCING THE POLICIES THAT YOU ARE. THE LONG LASTING DAMAGE THAT YOU ARE ALLOWING, AND SUPPORTING WILL FOLLOW OUR STUDENTS THROUGHOUT THEIR ENTIRE LIVES. WE HAVE NO IDEA THE TRUE DAMAGE THAT WHAT YOU HAVE CAUSED. YOU HAVE CHANGED THEM EACH AND EVERY CHILD AND NOT FOR THE BETTER. YOU HAVE CAUSED DEBILITATING ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION WITH THE POLICIES THAT YOU HAVE IMPLEMENTED AND ENFORCED OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS , EVEN BEFORE THE MSD STEPPED IN. WHILE WE ARE AWARE OF THAT HCPS CANNOT SOLELY REMOVE THE MASKS BECAUSE OF THE MANDATE. WE NEED YOU TO ADVOCATE ON BEHALF OF OUR CHILDREN BY WRITING A LETTER. LIKE THE GOVERNOR, AND LIKE SEVERAL OTHER CONCERNED BOARDS, ASKING MSD TO REMOVE THE MANDATE. YOU HAVE MADE OUR CHILDREN FEARFUL OF LIVING. LEAVING THEIR HOMES AND HARMING THEIR LOVED ONES BY NOT WEARING A MASK. THAT BURDEN IS WAY TOO HEAVY FOR OUR CHILDREN TO BEAR MANY COUNTIES IN STATE THAT HAVE WORSE METRICS THAN OURS HAVE LIFTED THEIR MASK MANDATES FOR CHILDREN IN SCHOOLS WITHOUT DETRIMENT. UNMASK OUR CHILDREN. I HAVE A DAUGHTER, WHO IS A TEACHER IN HARFORD COUNTY. THEY'RE GREAT. I HAVE A SON, WHO IS IN HIGH SCHOOL. UM AND I KNOW PLENTY OF TEACHERS. THE CHILDREN AREN'T LEARNING. THEY'RE BEHIND IN READING. THEY CAN'T SEE THEIR TEACHERS MOUTH. THEY'RE CHEWING ON THEIR MASKS ALL DAY LONG. THEY'RE CHEWING ON DIRTY BACTERIA FILLED MASKS ALL DAY LONG. THE SUICIDE RATE FOR TEENAGE GIRLS HAS GONE UP 50% SINCE THIS ALL STARTED SO WHEN YOU GUYS MAKE YOUR DECISION REMEMBER, YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO SLEEP AT NIGHT WITH THE DECISION YOU MADE. AND FOR EVERY DEATH AND FOR EVERYONE EDUCATED CHILD WHO WILL NEVER CATCH UP. IT'S ON YOU. JUST REMEMBER IT'S WHEN YOU WHEN YOU'RE DECIDING. CINDY PEPPER, FOLLOWED BY CHERYL ADAMS. GOOD EVENING. FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO ALL YOU HAVE DONE, THE EDUCATORS OF THE HCPS APPRECIATE IT. DURING THE BUDGET HEARING, MRS KARWACKI ASKED A QUESTION ABOUT THE FUTURE OF THE PORTABLE CLASSROOMS THAT WERE INSTALLED AT BELL OR MIDDLE SCHOOL. MY EXTREME SURPRISED I LEARNED THAT EVEN BEFORE WE KNOW THE FINAL NUMBERS FOR NEXT YEAR , THERE ARE ALREADY PLANS TO REMOVE SOME OF THESE CLASSROOMS. I'M ASTONISHED. EVEN WITH THE NEW PORTABLES BANDS STILL HAS FOUR FLOATING TEACHERS AND FOR TEACHERS THAT ROOM SHARE. MEANING THERE ARE SIX TEACHERS WITHOUT CLASSROOMS OF THEIR OWN.

[00:25:04]

I BELIEVE THAT DR BOLSON HAS AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE AN ASSET TO OUR DISTRICT. WE NEED THE CONTINUITY OF LEADERSHIP AND DIRECTION, NOT ANOTHER DISRUPTION OR ANOTHER CHANGE.

HCPS NEED EDUCATORS NEED STABILITY NOW, MORE THAN EVER. AND GIVEN ALL THE POSITIVES OF ADOPTABLE SINCE LEADERSHIP, IT WOULD BE FOOLISH TO DO ANYTHING BUT WE KNEW HIS COUNTRY. FINALLY I'D LIKE TO THANK MR HENNIGAN FOR HIS PRESENTATION LAST MEETING. WHAT I FOUND, PARTICULARLY TELLING. WHEREAS OPENING STATISTICS AND THE GENTLE REMINDER THAT HCPS IS RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR CHILDREN FOR A VERY SMALL PERCENTAGE OF THEIR TIME. YET WE ARE EXPECTED TO PROVIDE THE MAJORITY OF THE SOLUTIONS FOR MAJORITY OF THE PROBLEM'S AGAIN. THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO. AND WE NEED TO HAVE PEOPLE WHO ARE WEARING THEIR MASKS UNDER THEIR CHIN OR UNDER THEIR NOSES TO TAKE A MOMENT AND PUT THEM BACK ON. THANK AND THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING. UM. I WASN'T GOING TO TALK ABOUT MASKS . BUT SINCE YOU BROUGHT UP THE FACT THAT UM, MASKS ARE EFFECTIVE AND THERE SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO THINK THAT THEY AREN'T EFFECTIVE. I JUST CAN'T ALWAYS THINK ABOUT THE FACT THAT MOST OF US HERE PROBABLY GREW UP WITH OUR PARENTS TELLING US TO COUGH OR SNEEZE INTO OUR ELBOWS OR OUR MOUTHS. AND THE REASON FOR THAT IS SO THAT WE DON'T SPREAD GERMS. SO YOU KNOW THAT MINIMAL THING IS EFFECTIVE. WHY WOULDN'T THIS BE MORE EFFECTIVE? I MEAN, FOR ME, THAT'S JUST COMMON SENSE. BUT ANYHOW. I DIDN'T COME TO TALK ABOUT THE MASK. I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE BOARD. THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS HAVE GOT TO HAVE BEEN ABSOLUTELY DRAINING AND DIFFICULT AND THOSE OF US WHO DON'T COME TO THE MEETINGS ALL THE TIME. WE DO SEE WHAT YOU'RE DOING. WE SEE, WE ACKNOWLEDGE THE WORK THAT YOU'RE DOING AND THE CHALLENGE THAT IT'S BEEN OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. IT'S APPRECIATED, AND I AM HERE SPEAKING, I KNOW THAT THERE ARE MANY OUT THERE WHO FEEL THE SAME WAY SO THANK YOU.

I ALSO WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO RENEW DR OLSON'S CONTRACT. UM I THINK HE'S DONE A GREAT JOB AND LOOK FORWARD TO HIS CONTINUED WORK. WE'VE WE'VE WE HAVEN'T EVEN REALLY HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET STARTED BECAUSE COVID STEPPED IN AND HAS CREATED ALL KINDS OF CHALLENGES. BUT THAT'S WHY I CAME TONIGHT. SO THANK YOU ALL. I APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH. NEXT WE HAVE. THE SHOW WILL BE FOLLOWED BY TINA GRAHAM. GOOD EVENING. I CAN'T HELP BUT TO COMMENT ON THE ABSENT STAFF AGAIN. THEY'RE NOT EVEN HERE TO FACE THEIR CONSTITUENTSEN TWO YS SOME OF THEM. I'VE NEVER EVEN SEEN HERE. IT'S UNACCEPTABLE. ONE OFFER RESOLUTION ABOUT THESE MASKS. IF THE K AND 95 MASK WORKS SO GOOD. THEM, WEAR THEM AND LEAVE OUR KIDS ALONE. LET US DETERMINE WHAT IS BEST FOR OUR

[00:30:03]

HE CAME BACK TO SCHOOL, AND THERE WERE NO CONSEQUENCES TO THE REST OF THE KIDS. THERE WERE NO OUTBREAKS OF COVID OR ANYTHING OF THIS SORT IS A MATTER OF FACT, WE GOT TO SEE THEM SMALL. SPEECH THERAPISTS ALL THE ALL THE KIDS THAT ARE SUFFERING FROM SPEECH PROBLEMS. THEY CAN'T READ LIPS THROUGH THESE MASKS. ANY ONE OF THESE TEACHERS WILL TELL YOU THAT AND I THINK YOU KNOW IT. LET'S TALK ABOUT THE LACK OF STAFF. WHY DO YOU THINK THAT THEY'RE QUITTING? IS IT BECAUSE OF THE CURRICULUM ? THE TRASH THAT YOU'RE PUSHING LINE ON OUR KIDS? IS IT BECAUSE OF THE MANDATORY VACCINATION OR THE 80? MAYBE THEY'RE A LITTLE FED UP. WITH SOME OF THIS.

AGENDA THAT YOU GUYS ARE PUSHING AND IT'S REALLY NOT APPRECIATED. THE IMPACT TO OUR STUDENTS. THE MENTAL HEALTH IS INCREASED 300. YOU MEAN YOU GUYS ARE KILLING THEM THROUGH THE OPPRESSION AND ANXIETY? NOT THROUGH COVE. IT. HI, TINA. GRAPH AND I'M. I DIDN'T PREPARE ANYTHING TO SAY SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M GOING TO SAY. I ACTUALLY DIDN'T THINK I WAS GOING TO COME TONIGHT BECAUSE I WAS A LITTLE BIT NERVOUS. UM FIRST OF ALL I DO WANT TO SAY, UM DR BAUER, ARE YOU THERE? YES, I AM. ALL RIGHT. HOW ABOUT PRESIDENT GAUTIER? SHE MIGHT BE SICK. HOW ABOUT MISS CAR WAGON? THIS KARWACKI? PERHAPS ALL RIGHT. JUST A POINT. I AM HERE. THERE YOU GO. SO I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY TIMES I'VE COME TO THESE MEETINGS AND WE AREN'T UP THERE AND EVERYBODY COMMENTS OR SAYS SOMETHING TO ME. I GET EMAILS. SO HONESTLY, WHAT'S GOING ON RIGHT NOW WITH OUR GOVERNMENT? OUR DELEGATES AND WHAT THEY'RE TRYING TO DO WHAT THEY TRIED TO DO IN A REMOTE MEETING. UM, TELLING THE BOARD THAT THEY SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO WORK FROM HOME WAS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS, ANYWAY. RULES DOCTOR PHILLIPS. THANK YOU FOR TALKING ABOUT RULES. WORKING IN A SCHOOL AND YOU DISCIPLINE. IF WE DIDN'T HAVE RULES, THERE WOULD BE MAYHEM AND CHAOS. OUR KIDS DON'T REALLY CARE ABOUT MASKS AND THEN A HIGH SCHOOL. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO SAY ABOUT THAT. UM I AM SAD TO HEAR THAT, UM I WILL BE JUST TALKED ABOUT TEACHERS LEAVING. WE HAVE PROBABLY FIVE TEACHERS THAT I KNOW OF THAT WILL LEAVE AT THE END OF THE YEAR. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MASKS. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH OUR CURRICULUM, PORNOGRAPHY, YOU NAME IT. I HATE TO REALLY ADMIT THIS. BUT IT'S THE STRESS THAT THEY'RE UNDER AND PARENTS ARE A BIG PART OF IT. AND IT SAID. AND IT'S TRULY UM WE HAVE WONDERFUL TEACHERS AT OUR SCHOOL, AND THEY PROBABLY WE WILL HAVE SOME THAT WILL LEAVE AT THE END OF THE YEAR. JUST BECAUSE OF ALL THIS STUFF THAT YOU'RE HEARING RIGHT NOW. AND IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE THAT, JUST JUST WAIT. SO THANK YOU TO EVERY ONE OF YOU GUYS. DOCTOR BOLSON. I HAVE EVERYONE AH, VOTES TO KEEP THEM IN PLACE. IF ANYONE PEOPLE BEHIND ME PROBABLY HAVE NO IDEA BECAUSE THEY NEVER PAID ATTENTION TO OUR FORMER SUPERINTENDENTS WERE WHICH WERE ALL AWESOME, BUT DR BOLTON HAS GONE ABOVE AND BEYOND FOR THE

[00:35:03]

[00:40:02]

I NEED YOUR HELP TO MAKE A BRIGHTER FUTURE SO WE'LL YELL, BEG, PLEAD AND SPEAK UP UNTIL I'M NOTICED. UNTIL OTHER BLACK AND BROWN CULTURES ARE NOTICED AND TALK ABOUT IN U. S HISTORY.

YEAR ROUND. BLACK HISTORY IS AMERICAN HISTORY, AND WE ARE NOT LEARNING THE WHOLE STORY. I WISH YOU WERE WONDERFUL AND ENLIGHTENING BLACK HISTORY MONTH. GOOD EVENING. UM I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING PREPARED, SO I'M JUST GONNA GO OFF THE CUFF. I HAVE A DAUGHTER WHO TEACHES FIRST GRADE IN IN BALTIMORE COUNTY SCHOOLS WHO EACH DAY TALKS TO ME. IT'S HARD TO TEACH PHONICS, SHE SAYS. I CAN'T TEACH MY KIDS. I HAVE TO PULL MY MASK STAND. THEY CAN'T SEE ME. YOU KNOW, FORMING LETTERS AND EVERYTHING. THAT'S JUST ONE THING. UM. THE MASK THING. I TOTALLY DISAGREE WITH DR PHILLIPS ON AND HE DIDN'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT ANY OF THE STATISTICS, SO I WILL THIS COVERING THAT WAS GIVEN OUT IN THE BUILDING PROTECTS YOU 5. THE CUTE. ONES THAT EVERYBODY WEARS ZERO FOR SALE. ZERO YOU CAN BLOW THE CANDLE OUT THROUGH THIS MASK OR THIS MASK OR THE ONE I HAVE ON SO ANYWAY, I YOU KNOW. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU THINK THAT THESE MASKS ARE HELPING AND LIKE THE PICTURES OF THE FILTHY MASK AND THE KIDS SUCKING ON

[00:45:04]

WHY DO YOU DO THIS? IT'S RIDICULOUS. IT'S NOT GOOD FOR YOUR OWN AIR IN YOUR LUNGS AND EVERYTHING. I FEEL THAT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SO FEARMONGERS OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS INTO THIS, THEY CAN'T EVEN THINK FOR THEMSELVES ANYMORE. I FEEL SO SORRY FOR THE CHILDREN. THAT BETWEEN THEIR PARENTS AND THE SCHOOL AND EVERYBODY ELSE THEY FEEL LIKE THEY'RE GOING TO DIE IF THEY DON'T HAVE A MASK ON THEIR FACE. WE KNOW IT'S NOT TRUE. 70,000 PEOPLE IN CALIFORNIA AT THE SUPER BOWL IS SOMEBODY ELSE MENTIONED. AND LOOK AT ALL THE ELITE PEOPLE AND J. LO AND EMMITT SMITH AND ALL THEM. IT'S A THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE WEARING MASKS. THEY WEREN'T BUT ANYWAY, UM I JUST DON'T UNDER THERE'S. LIKE ALL OF US TALK, BUT WE REALLY DON'T KNOW WHERE YOUR HEADS ARE OR I DON'T I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU MAKE THAT PUBLIC. EVERYONE'S PRAISING DR BOLSON. YOU DIDN'T EVEN SPEAK TONIGHT. YOU DIDN'T EVEN HAVE AN OPENING STATEMENT.

I FEEL LIKE IF PEOPLE WOULD LIKE IF TONIGHT. WELL, YOU DID SAY THAT. WHATEVER DATE IT WAS MARYLAND WOULD REVIEW THE WHOLE MASK THING, BUT I WOULD JUST ASK YOU IF THEY DO DO THAT, THEN I MEAN ARE YOU JUST SO NUTS ABOUT THE MASK THAT YOU'RE GOING TO KEEP THEM IN OUR SCHOOL? AND ONE LAST THING IF YOU WANT TO WEAR A MASK, AND YOU'RE AFRAID THAT YOU'RE GOING TO CATCH SOMETHING, THEN WHERE IT BUT FOR GOD'S SAKES, IT'S RIDICULOUS. WE SHOULD HAVE A CHOICE. THIS WHOLE THING IS SO MUCH BIGGER THAN MASK. IT'S ABOUT CHOICE AND WE NEED IT NOW. YES, WE HAVE WILLIAM MARTINO, FOLLOWED BY MICHELE KINDER. GOOD EVENING. HAS BEEN OVER 40 YEARS SINCE I WAS A PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS. HONESTLY MY EDUCATION WAS NOTHING TO WRITE HOME ABOUT.

HOWEVER IT IS MAGNITUDES BETTER THAN WHAT STUDENTS RECEIVED TODAY. ADJUSTED FOR INFLATION, TAXPAYERS SPEND SIGNIFICANTLY MORE PER STUDENT TODAY. VERY LESS QUALITY EDUCATION. NOT GOOD. TODAY'S PUBLIC SCHOOLS FOCUS ON FAKE SCIENCE. FALSE REVISION IS HISTORY, WHICH I JUST HEARD. ORDER DOWN CIVIC LESSONS. AND MATHEMATICS AND HAVE COMPLETELY ELIMINATED CURSIVE AND GEOGRAPHY. AND PROMOTE POLITICALLY APPROVED ENGLISH. THE MAJORITY OF JOBS IN THE FUTURE, PROJECTED TO BE IN THE TECHNOLOGY AND MEDICAL FIELDS. I FAIL TO SEE HOW TEACHING PROPER PRONOUNS. ACCEPTABLE SEXUAL RELATIONSHIP. ACKNOWLEDGING DOZENS OF DIFFERENT GENDERS. AND RACIST CONCEPTS PREPARE STUDENTS TO FILL THESE JOBS. THE AREA THAT FRUSTRATES ME. THE MOST IS THE FAKE, CONTRIVED SCIENCE. IS BEING TAUGHT TODAY. STUDENTS ARE INUNDATED. WITH CONTRIVED, NATURALISTIC SIGN. MAINLY THE THEORY OF EVOLUTION AND BIG BANG THEORY. THE EMPIRICALLY PROVEN LAWS OF SCIENCE THAT INCLUDES THE LAW OF CAUSE AND EFFECT THE SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS. LOW BIOGENESIS. ALL OF INFORMATION AND MENDEL'S GENETIC LAWS ALL DESTROY AND ELIMINATE NATURALISM. NO LAW SCIENCE SUPPORTS NATIONALISM. IT IS COMPLETELY CONTRIVED. SADLY TODAY'S STUDENTS HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THESE EMPIRICALLY PROVEN SCIENTIFIC WALLS. BUT THEY SURE KNOW ABOUT FAKE NATURALISTIC THEORIES. SO IS THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM. FILTERS OUT THROUGH SCIENCE AND PROMOTES FALSE SIGNS. IS THIS ABOUT PROVIDING A QUALITY EDUCATION OR INDOCTRINATING THE NEXT GENERATION TO HEAR? ADHERE TO PROGRESSIVE MARXIST BELIEF SYSTEM. IT IS SURE SEEMS LIKE THE LADDER TO ME. I CAN TELL YOU THAT THE PROGRESSIVE BELIEF SYSTEM DOES NOT ALIGN WITH THE BELIEFS OF THE MAJORITY OF PARENTS IN THIS CAMP. STOP TEACHING FAKE SCIENCE. STOP TEACHING REVISIONIST HISTORY AND FALSE CIVICS LESSONS. START TEACHING TRUE AND PROVEN ACADEMICS. THAT WILL MEET SOCIETY'S FUTURE NEED. PROVERBS TELLS US TRAIN UP A TRIAL AND THE WAY YOU SHOULD GO. AND EVEN ONE OF THOSE OLD HE WILL NOT DEPART FROM IT. WE NEED THE NEXT GENERATION TRAINED IN THE TRUTH.

[00:50:04]

UM, I HAD WRITTEN DOWN A SPEECH. BUT I'D LIKE TO ADDRESS DOCTOR WHAT DR PHILLIPS SPOKE TO YOU.

IN THE BEGINNING. BAND SKI BRUTE , THE GREATEST CRIMES IN HISTORY ARE NOT COMMITTED BY PEOPLE BREAKING THE RULES BUT BY PEOPLE FOLLOWING THE RULES. IT'S PEOPLE WHO FOLLOW ORDERS THAT DROP BOMBS AND MASSACRE VILLAGES. SO YES, RULES HAVE A PLACE IN OUR SOCIETY. THERE'S NO DOUBT BUT WHEN THESE RULES AND NEEDS MANDATES ARE CONTRADICTORY TO EVIDENCE. AND THEY ARE DAMAGING THEN. NO, YOU DON'T FOLLOW THOSE ROLES, AND THAT IS WHAT I TEACH MY KIDS. ON. I HAVE AN ARTICLE HERE WHICH I'M GOING TO EMAIL TO ALL OF YOU TONIGHT. 150 STUDIES. THAT SHOW THE INEFFECTIVENESS OF MATH. IN THE HARMFULNESS OF THESE MATHS. THE CDC HAS ONE STUDY AND THAT STUDY HAS BEEN PROVEN TO BE FRAUDULENT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW OTHER COUNTIES. DON'T FOLLOW MARYLAND STATE BOARD OF HAD BUT YOU'RE SAYING WE HAVE TO. YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING. WOULD OUR KIDS WORTH? WHAT ARE THE INCENTIVES? WHAT IS THE MONEY? THEY'RE GIVING YOU THAT YOU CAN'T SAY. YOU KNOW WHAT? THIS IS NOT GOOD FOR OUR COMMUNITY. THE EVIDENCE DOES NOT SUPPORT THESE MANDATES. THEIR DISCRIMINATORY. AND THEY ARE SEVERELY IMPACTING THE MENTAL HEALTH OF OUR STUDENTS LIKE ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. THIS IS CRAZY. I JUST I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT. I THINK IT'S COWARDICE. I THINK IT IS. IT'S EITHER COWARDICE OR LAZINESS. I DON'T KNOW, BUT IT'S INEXCUSABLE. YOU NEED TO START STANDING UP FOR OUR KIDS. I DON'T CARE WHAT THE MARYLAND STATE BOARD OF ED SAT OTHER COUNTIES AREN'T ARE LISTENING TO THEM, AND THEY'RE DOING WHAT IS RIGHT FOR THE KIDS. 150 STUDIES SHOWING THAT THESE DUMB THINGS DON'T WORK. I DON'T KNOW. THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY. I'M TAKING THIS THING OFF. I'M NOT GOING TO WEAR IT. I'M NOT GOING TO PLAY ALONG WITH THE POWER TRIPPING.

THAT YOU GUYS DO TO US. THIS IS SILLY. IT'S SILLY TO MAKE WEAR THAT MASK OUTSIDE. PLEASE LEAVE.

PLEASE LEAVE. PLEASE LEAVE. IF YOU CANNOT WEAR YOUR MASK, PLEASE LEAVE. IF YOU CANNOT WEAR MASK, PLEASE LEAVE. OKAY, WE'RE GOING TO SUSPEND THE MEETING UNTIL THE ROOM IS CLEARED. WE ARE SUSPENDING THE MEETING.

THINK, SINCE THE PEOPLE WHO. DON'T WANT TO WEAR THEIR MISCUES HAVE LEFT. UM, WE CAN CONTINUE.

THANK YOU. THANKS TO HAVE JOSH CLOSE OLD, FOLLOWED BY TAKINA HOLLANDSWORTH. GOOD EVENING, I

[00:55:18]

DID THIS COUNTRY. WAS NOT INCENTED AND ESTABLISHED IN RACISM OR SEXISM OR ANYTHING ELSE. IT WAS FOUNDED ON THE BASIC PRINCIPLE OF QUESTIONING AUTHORITY, WHICH IS ANOTHER THING THAT I FOUND VERY JARRING WHEN I WHAT WHAT I HEARD EARLIER FROM THIS BOARD IS THAT THERE ARE RULES IN PLACE AND TWO QUESTIONS THOSE RULES IN PLACE THEN OBVIOUSLY THERE MUST BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOU. NOW IMAGINE IF OUR ENTIRE COUNTRY AND ITS HISTORY OPERATED WITHIN THOSE LINES, NOT BEING ABLE TO QUESTION ANY KIND OF OVER LINING AUTHORITY BECAUSE THAT'S JUST THE COMMON NARRATIVE THAT'S GOING ON IT JUST I AM LITERALLY SHAKING UP HERE BECAUSE IT'S LIKE PARENTS COME HERE MONTH AFTER MONTH. YEAR AFTER YEAR, AND FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS. IT'S BEEN THIS PANDEMIC NONSENSE AND THEY'VE HAD THE SAME. THEY'VE HAD THE SAME ARGUMENTS OVER AND OVER AGAIN. IT'S LIKE NOBODY IS LISTENING, AND I GUARANTEE YOU IF DR BOLSON IS REINSTATED, AND NOTHING IS KNOWN ABOUT THE MASK , AND NOTHING IS DONE ABOUT THESE OTHER ARBITRARY RULES, THERE'S A GOING TO BE A MASS EXODUS OF STUDENTS LEAVING THESE SCHOOLS. THERE WILL BE NO TEACHERS TO TEACH STUDENTS BECAUSE STUDENTS WILL NOT BE ATTENDING THESE SCHOOLS. AND THERE WILL BE ELECTED OFFICIALS READY TO HELP THOSE PARENTS PULLED THEIR CHILDREN OUT OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS BECAUSE THIS IS JUST A MOUSE OVERREACH OF POWER , AND YOU CAN DO THE RIGHT THING AND YOU'RE CONSISTENTLY CHOOSING NOT TO THANK YOU FOR CALLING US. THERE IS JUSTIN MARTIN. GOOD EVENING. I'M HERE TONIGHT AS A CONCERN, COACH FOR HARFORD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND TO ADVOCATE FOR THE HEALTH OF MY ATHLETES AS WELL AS EVERY ATHLETE IN THE COUNTY. I'M TALKING ABOUT THE LACK OF ATHLETIC TRAINERS IN THE HIGH SCHOOLS OF THE COUNTY. THREE SCHOOLS IN THE COUNTY DO NOT HAVE FULL TIME ATHLETIC TRAINERS. THEIR SCHOOLS OR NORTH HARVARD. BOSTON AND JOB TOWN. AT I IS THE CURRENT. HAS THE CURRENT BID FOR THE ATHLETIC TRAINERS IN THE COUNTY. THEIR BID WAS FOR ALL 10 HIGH SCHOOL. FOR THE AMOUNT OF $0. IS THAT NOT IN BREACH OF CONTRACT FOR NOT HAVING 34 TIME TRAINERS AND ALL OF THOSE SCHOOLS. I CAN ONLY SPEAK FOR ONE SCHOOL IN THE COUNTY. IN THE FOURTH. ONLY DURING THE FIRST WEEK OF TRYOUTS WAS A TRAINER PRESENT FULL TIME. AFTER THAT FIRST WEEK. ONLY FOOTBALL GAMES AND A HANDFUL OF FIELD HOCKEY AND SOCCER GAMES RECOVERED. NOT EVERY GAME WAS COVERED. IN THE WINTER.

WRESTLING WAS FULLY COVERED DURING MATCHES. BASKETBALL. WAS NOT COVERED UNTIL ABOUT HALFWAY THROUGH THE SEASON. BY A TRAINER ON A PER DIEM BASIS. MEANING THERE WERE ONLY AT NIGHT GAMES.

IS THIS GOING TO BE THE SAME FOR THE SPRING SEASON? REFUSES TO HIRE THE TRAINER FOR THOSE POSITIONS FOR THOSE THREE SCHOOLS. IS THIS GOING TO CHANGE? TO GET ALL ATHLETES IN THE HARBOR COUNTY, THE SAME CARE FOR ATHLETIC INJURIES AND POTENTIAL ATHLETIC INJURY. THANK YOU. WHAT I HAVE IS JANINE CANEDO. SHE'S SHE'S LEFT THROUGH . THAT'S HOW THE IMPRISON

[01:00:10]

MY NAME IS JOSIE CAUSE GIRL AND I'M, A PAIR EDUCATOR AT WILLIAM S. JAMES ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. GOOD EVENING. BOARD MEMBERS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR DEDICATION, COMMITMENT AND HARD WORK TO OUR STUDENTS, STAFF AND COMMUNITY. AND JUNE 11TH 2018 DR SEAN BOLSON WAS CHOSEN BY THE BOARD TO BECOME THE NEXT SUPERINTENDENT OF HARFORD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS. I SPOKE AT THAT BOARD MEETING ON THAT EVENING REGARDING CUSTOM INCLUSION HELPER POSITION. OTHERS EXPRESS THEIR OPINIONS ABOUT REDUCTION IN METRO TEACHERS AND MEDIA ATTACKS. AND OF COURSE, THOSE TALK ABOUT THE BUDGET. AND AS SOME PEOPLE HAD MENTIONED EARLIER, THE SCHOOL SYSTEM HAS SOME SERIOUS FINANCIAL ISSUES AT THAT TIME. SOME MONTHS LATER, I REFLECTED ON THAT MEETING AND THOUGHT TO MYSELF. MAN THAT BOTH AND REALLY HAD HIS WORK CUT OUT FOR HIM. THE FIRST COUPLE OF YEARS UNDER DR BOLSON LEADERSHIP ISSUES REGARDING STAFFING AND FINANCES WERE BEING REVISED AND MEANINGFUL PROGRESS WAS BEING MADE. STAND IN THE SPRING OF 2020. THE COVID 19 PANDEMIC INVADED OUR LIVES HERE IN HARFORD COUNTY OPINIONS AND DEBATES ABOUT IN SCHOOL LEARNING VIRTUAL LEARNING MATH. NO MASS ETCETERA WERE BEING FLUSHED UPON THE SCHOOLS AND DECISIONS HAD TO BE MADE FOR THE BETTER OF THE STUDENTS AND STAFF. DID ARGUE WITH ALL OF THEM. OF COURSE NOT.

BUT SLOWLY, WE MANAGED TO GET OUT OF WHAT SOME PEOPLE WOULD CALL THE BLACK HOLE. HOW DO WE DO IT? TO THE EXPERIENCE, GUIDANCE AND LEADERSHIP OF DR SHAMBLES. BECAUSE OF HIM. WE AS A SCHOOL AND A COMMUNITY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD DESPITE THE MANY OBSTACLES THAT HAVE BEEN FORCED UPON IT. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU RENEW DEDUCTIBLE SINCE CONTRACT IF YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH ALL THAT HE DID UNDER THE MOST ABNORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNPRECEDENTED CHALLENGES. THINK OF ALL THAT HE CAN DO FOR US THAT THE FUTURE OF THE UPCOMING BLUEPRINT FOR MARYLAND PLAN THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING. YOU ARE NOW ON THE BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING

[01:05:09]

PLEASE INTRODUCE YOURSELF AND YOU MAY BEGIN YOUR PUBLIC COMMENT NOW. YES. MY NAME IS BENJAMIN HEUSER. UM. I'M STILL WONDERING WHERE THE HECK DR BAUER IS. IT'S BEEN TWO YEARS SINCE HE SHARED HIMSELF NOW I'M ON THE PHONE THIS EVENING BECAUSE I'M DOWN IN FLORIDA. I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE HE IS. NOW. WHEN IT COMES TO MASKS. YOU KNOW , A LOT OF YOU ALL WERE APPOINTED BY THE GOVERNOR. OR APPOINTED BY THE COUNTY COUNCIL. ALL OF WHICH HAVE PUBLICLY STATED IN WRITING. BUT THEY DON'T WANT ANY MASKS ON OUR CHILDREN. YOU HAVE PARENTS. YOU DON'T WANT ANYTHING MASS ON HER CHILDREN. I'M STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT AS TO WHY WE STILL HAVE THEM LONGER. CHILDREN NOW. LET'S LET'S JUST TAKE IT A COUPLE DIFFERENT STEPS HERE.

ERDOGAN SAID THAT 95% OF OUR STATE IS VACCINATED. SO LET'S JUST SAY EVERY COUNTY WAS 100% VACCINE EXCEPT FOR HARFORD COUNTY. IF YOU RUN THE NUMBERS, AND DR BAUER BEING A STATISTICIAN, HE CAN VERIFY THIS. HE RAN THE NUMBERS AND HARPER KENNY WAS THE REASON THAT WE'RE AT 95 9100. HARFORD COUNTY WOULD STILL BE AT 87.7776 NOW THE REASON OUR METRICS ARE OFF.

IS BECAUSE PRIOR TO THE MANDATE OF A FEDERAL EMPLOYEES AND MILITARY PART OF THAT MANDATE IF WE WERE VACCINATED ON A MILITARY BASE LIKE FORT MEADE. WE'RE NOT PART OF THE SYSTEM OF THE STATE.

WE ARE ACTUALLY SENT AN EMAIL SAYING THAT IF WE WANTED TO ENTER INFORMATION PROVIDER INFORMATION TO THE STATE WE COULD, BUT WE WERE NOT OBLIGATED TO SO WE'RE NOT EVEN IN THAT SYSTEM. I I'M NOT IN THAT SYSTEM AND I'M VACCINATED. SO THAT OFFICER EXCUSE THE NUMBERS. HOW MANY PEOPLE FROM A PG THAT LIVED THERE HOW MANY PEOPLE THAT WORK FOR ME? YOU KNOW EVERYONE WHO GOT THE VACCINE ON BASE. THEY'RE NOT PART OF THE SYSTEM. YOUR METRICS ARE SKEWED. SO IN THEORY , WE'RE WELL PAST 80, AND WE CAN OFFER HIM BUT NOW LET'S SAY THAT WE DECIDE THAT MAYBE THERE'S NUMBERS ARE WRONG. ALRIGHT BOTH. THE NUMBERS ARE WRONG. WHAT HAPPENS IF WE OFFER HIM? WELL, THE ONLY THING THAT HAPPENS IS THAT THE SUPERINTENDENT. YES, YOU'LL CATCH A BUNCH OF CRAP FROM HIS BOSS. BUT IN THE END HOW THE LEGISLATION IS WRITTEN IS THAT. THEY CANNOT STOP FUNDING RIGHT NOW. HOWEVER. THEY JUST CANNOT PROVIDE A ADDITIONAL FUNDING REQUEST. THAT'S IT JUST ADDITIONAL FUNDING REQUEST. SO HARFORD COUNTY STILL FUNDED. THAT'S IT. THAT'S IT PRINCIPLE, THE LEGAL ISSUES ARE DONE. THAT'S ALL THAT HAPPENS. AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE SEEING OTHER BOARDS THAT ARE SAYING YOU KNOW WHAT OUR STATE WE'RE NOT GOING TO DEAL WITH THIS. ANYMORE.

EXACTLY WHAT THIS FORCE TO DO YOU. ASKED BONDING FREIGHTS. GOOD EVENING. YOU ARE NOW ON THE BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING BEFORE YOU BEGIN YOUR PUBLIC COMMENT, PLEASE STATE YOUR FIRST AND LAST NAME. YOUR TIME WILL CONCLUDE IN THREE MINUTES. YOU WILL HEAR A BELL RING WHEN YOU HAVE 30 SECONDS REMAINING. PLEASE INTRODUCE YOURSELF AND YOU MAY BEGIN YOUR PUBLIC COMMENT NOW. HELLO MY NAME IS YOUR WORRY ABOUT AS PREVIOUSLY I CALLED INTO VARIOUS BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETINGS AND SPOKEN IN REGARDS TO THE REDISTRICTING FOR MHS SIX AS WELL AS SOUTHERN WELL BAFFLES ME IS THAT WE'VE BEEN ASKING NOT TO BE REDISTRICTED OVER AND OVER AGAIN. AND YET IT SEEMS LIKE NOBODY IS HEARING US. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY MHS FIVE, WHICH COMPRISED OF CONDOS AND APARTMENTS, AND HAD A TOTAL OF 87 MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS, WHICH IS MORE THAN WHAT, EH MAJESTIC HAS WAS TAKEN OUT AND LEFT WITH BELLAIRE MIDDLE YET, AND I, JUST SIX WAS MOVED IS SUPPOSED TO BE MOVED TO SELF HAMPTON MIDDLE SCHOOL. STATISTICS AND ANALYSIS CAN BE USED TO PERSUADE A POINT OF VIEW , SOMETIMES NOT THE CORRECT OUTCOME. IN THE CASE OF FOUNDATIONS, STICKS HOW MANY OF THOSE STUDENTS ARE CURRENTLY DEALING WITH MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES TO THE TOWN NEEDS TO BE A STATISTICS FOR YOU TO NOTICE THE ARAB YOUR WAYS. WE ARE AWARE OF THREE INCIDENTS INVOLVING CHILDREN AND THE OUTCOME BECAUSE OF THEIR HEALTH ISSUES WAS THREE. NOT ENOUGH. LET'S MOVE TO THE SCHOOL. YOU'RE PROPOSING TO SUNDAY S SIX TO SOUTHAMPTON

[01:10:03]

WHILE DENYING THE VOICES OF PARENTS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS. THE PAST FEW YEARS, MR BOLTON HAS BEEN COMPLETE DISREGARD THEIR PARENTS SPEAKING ON THEIR CHILDREN'S BEHALF. DURING TWO COUNTY COUNCIL MEETING HE COULDN'T BE BOTHERED TO STICK AROUND TO HEAR PARENTS VOICED THEIR CONCERNS AND EVEN GOING AS FAR AS LEGAL NG THEM AS KNOWN NAME. EVEN THOUGH WE WERE WITNESSING OUR CHILDREN'S MENTAL DECLINE. I CAN'T PUT INTO WORK. TO DESCRIBE THE CONTEMPT I HAVE FOR EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU FOR THE TORMENT THAT YOU PUT OUR KIDS AND US PARENTS THROUGH LAST YEAR AND CONTINUING INTO THIS SCHOOL YEAR, I WATCHED MY SON'S EMOTIONAL HEALTH DECLINE. BUT YOU DIDN'T CARE. I WAS TERRIFIED TO LEAVE HIM HOME ALONE FOR FEAR THAT HE WOULD TAKE TRAFFIC MEASURES. BUT YOU DIDN'T CARE BEINGS. I ITTY OF WHAT I MIGHT FIND WAS EXCRUCIATING. BUT YOU DIDN'T CARE AND GOD FORBID I FORGOT TO CHECK ON HIM. FIRST THING IN THE MORNING. I WAS OVERWHELMED WITH PANIC AGAIN. YOU DIDN'T CARE. I LIKE MOVED. PARENTS WILL BE PUTTING THE PIECES OF MY SON BACK TOGETHER FOR YEARS TO COME. AND I WILL NEVER FORGET WHAT YOU DID TO MY SON AND I MOVED CERTAINLY WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU FOR THE DAMAGE CAUSED THANKFULLY, SINCE MOVING MY SON OUT OF MARYLAND, AND THERE'S ESPECIALLY HCPS, HE'S DIGGING PROGRESS BUT STILL HAS A LONG WAY TO GO IS EMOTIONAL STATE IS IMPROVING SIGNIFICANTLY AND HE'S EXCELLING IN HIS CLASSES WITHOUT BRAIN ALTERING OUR PRODUCT FOR 80 HD THAT YES, MANY HCPS TEACHERS DO PUT AND HAVE PUSHED ON US SINCE THE FIRST GRADE. IT'S BEEN IN FLORIDA. MY SON HASN'T HAD TO ENDURE THE SENSES. EXPOSURE QUARANTINES. THE FOURTH TESTING OF HEALTHY STUDENTS AND GET TO SEE HIS CLASSMATES SMILES BECAUSE OF THE STRONG LEADERSHIP OF GOVERNOR, TWO SANTAS AND SURGEON GENERAL DR LADAKH. OH, WE PUT THE CHILDREN'S OVERALL HEALTH FIRST. AS THEY UNDERSTOOD THIS WAS NOT THE CHILDREN'S BURDEN TO BEAR. I SUGGEST YOU FOLLOW THEIR LEADS AND FINALLY PUT THE CHILDREN FIRST. GOOD EVENING. YOU ARE NOW ON THE BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING BEFORE YOU BEGIN YOUR PUBLIC COMMENT, PLEASE STATE YOUR FIRST AND LAST NAME. YOUR TIME WILL

[01:15:04]

PLEASE INTRODUCE YOURSELF AND YOU MAY BEGIN YOUR PUBLIC COMMENT NOW. HI GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS CHARITY COAST AND THEN THE FATHER OF TWO HTTPS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENT.

EXCELLENT START WITH THAT. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT WE ACTUALLY JUST ALLOWED AN ADULT TO RID OF SCHOOL RIDICULE A MIDDLE SCHOOLERS COMMENT DURING THE PUBLIC COMMENT SECTION IT WAS A VERY DISGUSTING ACT. NO, I'M ACTUALLY COMING. THE ACTIONS AND WORDS OF VOCAL MINORITY OF PARENTS IN THIS COMMUNITY ARE INCREDIBLY MISGUIDED. THEY HAVE THE AUDACITY TO PRETEND THEY REPRESENTED THE PARENTS OR THE PEOPLE. BUT LET'S BE CLEAR THEY DO NOT REPRESENT THEIR OWN SELFISH BELIEF AND NOTHING ELSE. THE EXPERTS. HAD SHOWN FROM STUDY AFTER STUDYING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF MASKING AND IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE IT, YOU ARE JUST WRONG. I APPLAUD THE BOARD FOR THE WORK THEY HAVE DONE FOR THE PAST THREE PLUS YEARS, ESPECIALLY DURING THE PANDEMIC.

IT'S NEVER BEEN EASY. YOU'VE HAD TO STAND UP TO PARENTS. AND YOU REPRESENT WHAT IS GOOD ABOUT OUR SCHOOLS WHILE TRYING TO PUSH US FORWARD. I EXPRESSED THOSE SENTIMENTS DOUBLING FOR DR BOLTON, AS HE HAS HAD TO DEAL WITH MORE THAN MOST. NOW FOR THE SHOCKER OF THE NIGHT. I BELIEVE THAT THE STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION SHOULD BE LOOKING LONG AND HARD AT THE METRICS THAT THEY ESTABLISHED IN THE FALL. THOSE METRICS WERE RELEVANT AT THE TIME, BUT THEY DID NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE MUCH WEAKER AND MORE TRANSMISSIBLE VIRUS THAT WE HAVE NOW. THE RISKS SHOULD BE TIED TO SEVERE CASES IN OUR COMMUNITY, AND NOT NECESSARILY THE TOTAL NUMBER OF CASES. NOW WE SHOULD NOT THROW IT AWAY THE METRIC, BUT WE SHOULD INSTEAD HAVE THE EXPERTS REASSESSED THESE METRICS AND DO THAT PERIODICALLY. IF WE ASK OURSELVES IF PUBLIC RISK HEALTH RISK IS OUTWEIGHED BY THE IMPEDIMENTS ON LEARNING I BELIEVE THE ANSWER IS STARTING TO SHIFT IN THE OTHER DIRECTION AND THEY'RE OFFERING SHOULD REFLECT THAT. TO BE CLEAR. I WOULD EXPECT THOSE OFFERINGS TO CHANGE IN THE OTHER DIRECTION IF KOBE BECAME MORE DANGEROUS.

EVERY PARENT WANTS THEIR CHILD UNMASKED IN SCHOOLS AND IN MY OPINION MAKES NO SENSE TO HAVE A PUBLIC MASK MANDATE WHEN THE SCHOOL AS A MASK MANDATES. BUT THAT'S HOWARD DISTRIBUTED FORM OF GOVERNMENT FUNCTIONS ARE WORKING AT THIS TIME IS VERY BIZARRE. I ENCOURAGE HTTPS TO CONTINUE TO FOLLOW THE SCIENCE AND LISTEN TO THE EXPERTS AND NOT CAME TO THE DEMANDS OF AN M RAGED MINORITY. THE COVID PINS STEMMING IS DYNAMIC AND IT SHOULD BE TREATED AS SUCH. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, AND I APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK THAT THE BOARD DOES. GOOD NIGHT. PRESIDENT

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

[01:20:02]

GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE. TODAY'S HARFORD COUNTY POSITIVITY RATE IS 6.63% AND THE DAILY CASE COUNT IS 16.5 400,000. ALTHOUGH THESE METRICS ARE IMPROVED, WE REMAIN IN HIGH TRANSMISSION.

ACCORDING TO CDC DESIGNATIONS ARE DISTRICT DASHBOARD SHOWS 449 STUDENTS AND ISOLATION 3 75 IN QUARANTINE. 115 STAFF MEMBERS ARE IN ISOLATION IN 45 IN QUARANTINE. OUR LATEST CHANGES, NOTABLY THE FIVE DAY ISOLATION, QUARANTINE PERIOD AND THE FOCUS , CONTACT TRACING HAVE POSITIVELY AFFECTED OUR ABILITY TO KEEP KIDS IN SCHOOL WITH NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN OUTBREAKS WITHIN OUR BUILDINGS. ON WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 9TH, THE MARYLAND DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH REPORTED EIGHT OUTBREAKS IN HARFORD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS. ALL EIGHT ARE DEEMED CLASS OUTBREAKS. THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO SCHOOL WIDE OUTBREAKS IN THE COUNTY. I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO BE VACCINATED AGAINST COVID AND TO GET YOUR BOOSTERS IF ELIGIBLE, THE VACCINE IS SAFE AND EFFECTIVE. I HOPE MORE PARENTS WILL CONSIDER VACCINATING THEIR CHILDREN IN THE COMING MONTHS. I TURN IT OVER TO MR RIDGEWAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH. MERRY GOOD EVENING.

TONIGHT I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE THAT OUR TEAM IS WORKING ON A NEW OPERATIONAL STATUS DUE TO THE DECREASING METRICS WE HAVE EXPERIENCED SINCE THE NEW YEAR. ARE TARGETED. EFFORTS ARE LOOKING TOWARDS MARCH 1ST TO UPDATE THE STATUS. OF NOTE IS OUR PLANS RELATED TO AFTER SCHOOL ACTIVITIES WHEREBY WE'RE PLANNING TO TRANSITION THE AFTER SCHOOL TESTING PROGRAM FROM REQUIRED TO VOLUNTARY AND WE ARE PLANNING TO ALLOW ALL CLUBS AND TEAMS TO HOLD IN PERSON ACTIVITIES. ALSO LAST WEEK, MSD E RELEASED AND ETHIC REGARDING THE CURRENT MASS REQUIREMENTS OFF FRANCE AND DATA SOURCES PREVIOUSLY HIDEOUT HIGHLIGHTED A FEW TIMES THIS EVENING. WE HAVE POSTED THIS MSD CLARIFICATION ON OUR OWN COVID AT THE Q ON HCPS DOT ORG AS THE TOP QUESTION SO THAT IT IS EASY FOR EVERYONE TO FIND. AS WE WATCH THE CHANGES IN THE PANDEMIC AND CURRENT METRICS WERE HOPEFUL THAT WE ARE HEADING IN A DIRECTION THAT BRINGS US TOGETHER AND MOVES US FORWARD.

THANK YOU. WORK. I KNOW THAT WAS BRIEF. NOT GOOD. THAT WAS THREE. ANYBODY HAVE ANY FUNCTIONS?

[01:25:15]

PARTICULARLY AS WE MOVE INTO THE SPRING. SO 11 THING YOU KNOW, THERE WERE COMMENTS THIS EVENING ABOUT THE TESTING PROGRAM WE'VE DONE FOR AFTER SCHOOL. WHILE WE'RE PLEASED TO SEE THAT WE HAVE FEWER POSITIVE CASES COMING BACK THAT TESTING THAT WE'RE DOING NOW IS STILL FINDING POSITIVE CASES EVERY WEEK. IT'S A SMALLER AND SMALLER NUMBER. FORTUNATELY, AND THAT MATCHES THE METRICS. BUT IT IS THE INTENT TO. TO RETIRE THAT PRACTICE OF SOME MOVEMENT OF THE SPRING, PARTICULARLY FOR THE OUTSIDE SPORTS. SO UM, THAT SHOULD BE COMING WHEN WE GET TO THE NEXT OPERATIONAL STATUS. SO THAT SOUND MOVE ON. HE HAD COME. CAME FROM. FIND IS THAT BETWEEN 85 TO 95% HAVE RECEIVED AT LEAST ONE DOSE. BUT ONLY ABOUT 73% OF THE STATE IS FULLY VACCINATED AND ABOUT 35% HAVE HAD THEIR BOOSTERS SO IF WE LOOK AT THE FACT THAT. DOUBLE BACKS AND BOOSTERS HAVE BETTER OUTCOMES VERSUS COVID, COMPARED TO SINGLE BACKS THAT 95% THAT HAVE ONLY RECEIVED ONE VACCINATION IS STILL AT RISK. THANKS. THANK YOU, DR PHILLIPS. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR STATEMENTS. I JUST WANTED TO SAY ALSO, THERE HAVE BEEN PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN EMAILING ME TELLING ME THAT THEY CANNOT FIND ANOTHER COUNTY IN MARYLAND THAT DOES NOT HAVE

IF YOU WANT TO FLIP THE SLIDES, I CAN JUST SPEAK TO THEM THEN. OKAY? SO IF WE GO TO SLIDE ONE UM AS MISJUDGED, MENTIONED AS MUNICIPAL ADVISER TO BOTH HARFORD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND HARFORD COUNTY. UM WE HAD DAVENPORT ASSISTED WITH ISSUING A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS TO OVER 100 BANKS ON JANUARY 12. UM TO REFUND THE HARFORD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS OUTSTANDING 2012 CERTIFICATE OF PARTICIPATION. IT'S MISS JUDD MENTIONED. THE ORIGINAL DEBT WAS ACTUALLY ISSUED IN 2000 AND FOUR TO FUND THE ADMINISTRATION BUILDING AND WAS ORIGINALLY REFUNDED IN 2012 . BUT NOW, WITH THE CURRENT RATE ENVIRONMENT AND INTEREST RATES BE NEAR HISTORIC LOWS. THERE IS THE OPPORTUNITY TO REFUND THESE BONDS AGAIN, AND THE PURPOSE OF OUR FUNDING IS REALLY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE LOWER INTEREST RATES SO EXCHANGING A HIGHER INTEREST RATE FOR A LOWER INTEREST RATE, WHICH PRODUCES BUDGETARY SAVINGS FOR HOWARD COUNTY OR HARFORD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS. UM SO WE ISSUED THE RFP ON JANUARY. 12 AND RESPONSES WERE DUE ON JANUARY 28TH. THERE WAS A LOT OF INTEREST IN THIS REFUNDING AND, UH, WE RECEIVED 11 PROPOSALS FOR THE REFUNDING.

UM FROM 11 BANKS, SO A VERY GOOD TURNOUT. IF WE FLIP THE SLIDE TO, UM THIS IS JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL ABOUT THE PROPOSALS THAT WE RECEIVED. UM SO RIGHT NOW, HARFORD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS IS CURRENTLY PAYING AN INTEREST RATE OF 3.27. UM AND WE'VE INCLUDED A SUMMARY MATRIX .

[01:45:01]

DR PHILLIPS. YES. MS RICCARDI. YES. MR ROBINSON. YEAH. MISS HOLCOMB. YES. VICE PRESIDENT MILLER. YES. PRESIDENT CORREA. YES, THE MOTION PASSES. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. NEXT ONE UP CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND 96,231,001. A COMBINATION OF BOTH COUNTY AND STATE FUNDING.

WE HAVE HEARD ABOUT THE CAPITAL PROJECTS SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST SIX MONTHS. I BELIEVE, ACTUALLY, I THINK I FEEL LIKE MR MR BROWN HAS BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS SINCE, LIKE JULY. UM ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THE CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND? GREAT I'M NOT BRING YOUR KNEES. SO MAY I PLEASE HAVE A MOTION IN THE SECOND TO PROVE THE CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND. THIS IS DAVID. I MOVE THAT WE APPROVED THE CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND AS PRESENTED. THIS IS AREA IN A SECOND. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR RONALD. LET'S DO ANOTHER ROLL CALL VOTE. OKAY. TALK TO BAUER. YES. DR HAROLD YES. MS KARWACKI. YES, MISS KELLY? YES. DR PHILLIPS. YES. MS RICCARDI. YES. MR ROBINSON. YES. MISS HOLCOMB. YES. VICE PRESIDENT MILLER. YES.

PRESIDENT GAUTIER. YES. THIS MOTION PASSES. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ALRIGHT NEXT STEP RESTRICTED FUND. THAT'S THE ONE WHERE I ALWAYS GET A LITTLE BIT CONFUSED. BUT MISS JUDD HAS DONE A MASTERFUL JOB AS ALWAYS EXPLAINING IT. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS CONCERNS ANYTHING THEY'D LIKE TO SAY OR DISCUSS ABOUT THE RESTRICTED FUND. 39,399,800. AND THE EXPERTS.

[01:50:05]

ALL RIGHT. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THE RESTRICTED BUDGET? YES, I HAVE A QUESTION. SURE. THE COVID RELIEF FUNDS WE CAN OBVIOUSLY ASSUMED. WE CAN OBVIOUSLY ASSUME THAT THAT'S NOT GOING TO BE AROUND FOREVER. UM DO WE HAVE ANY CONTINGENCY AND IS THAT ONLY RELATED TO COVID SPECIFIC, UM. TESTING OTHER MITIGATION STRATEGIES OR. IS THAT USED FOR ANY TYPE OF DOWNSTREAM EFFECTS FROM COVID THAT WE MIGHT NEED THEM. AROUND IN THE FUTURE, AND IF SO, DO WE HAVE ANY TYPE OF ELEMENT. ALTERNATIVE TO THAT FUNDING DOWN THE ROAD ONCE THOSE DOLLARS GO AWAY. SO THERE ARE MANY, UM DIFFERENT SOURCES OF THE FUNDS. THERE WERE SEVERAL THAT CAME IN OVER A PERIOD OF TIME, AND THEY EXPIRE OVER A DIFFERENT PERIOD OF TIME. SO I THINK THE LATEST MIGHT BE DECEMBER OF 2025. SO WE STILL HAVE SOME TIME LEFT TO USE THE REMAINING FUNDS THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED. OKAY THE DESCRIPTION AND USE OF THE FUNDS IS VERY BROAD, SO WE COULD USE THEM AND DID USE THEM FOR PPE NEEDS DURING THE PANDEMIC, AS WELL AS ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR STAFF FOR SUMMER SCHOOL. VARIETY OF NECESSARY UM, PAYMENTS SALARY PAYMENTS FOR THAT WE CREATED POSITIONS. USING THOSE FUNDS, SO PART OF THE OPERATING BUDGET INCLUDES SOME OF THE TRANSITION OF THOSE POSITIONS OVER TO THE OPERATING BUDGET. BECAUSE AS OF THIS MOMENT, THERE IS NOT A NEW FUNDING SOURCE TO CONTINUE ANY OF THE ONGOING SPENDING IN. THE FEDERAL FUNDS. SO TYPICALLY WHEN YOU RECEIVE THINGS LIKE THAT, YOU'RE LOOKING AT ONE TIME COSTS OR IN THE INSTANCE WHERE WE'VE ADDED POSITIONS AND USING IT FOR SOME SORT OF COMPENSATION. THERE HAS TO BE AN END TO THAT, SO WE EITHER MOVE IT TO THE OPERATING BUDGET, OR PERHAPS IN SOME CASES , THINGS AREN'T NEEDED. BUT WE ARE PLANNING TO MOVE AS MANY OF THOSE POSITIONS OVER AS POSSIBLE IF THERE IS STILL NEEDED. INTO THE OPERATING BUDGET AS WE MOVE OVER THE NEXT THREE YEARS. THANK YOU. ALRIGHT DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THE RESTRICTED BUDGET? RIGHT HERE.

OH, SORRY. THANK YOU. SORRY UM, AND JUST TO CONTINUE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING THIS JUDGE AGAINST SUMMARY HIGH LEVEL NAMES. SOME OF THOSE POSITIONS THAT WE FELT SHOULD BE MAINTAINED IN OUR BUDGET. OKAY? WE HAVE WELL, THE SWAN CREEK POSITIONS FOR OUR VIRTUAL SCHOOL. THOSE POSITIONS WERE ADDED INTO USING THOSE FUNDS. SO IF THE VIRTUAL SCHOOL IS SOMETHING THAT WE WILL CONTINUE, WHICH IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT SEEMS TO BE A PRIORITY FOR THE SYSTEM IN OUR COMMUNITY. WE WOULD BE MOVING THOSE POSITIONS OVER INTO THE OPERATING BUDGET IS THE YEARS AGO, UM, BEFORE THOSE FUNDS EXPIRE. THAT'S ONE EXAMPLE. PERFECT. THANK YOU. RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALREADY SO I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO APPROVE THE RESTRICTED BUDGET IN THE AMOUNT OF 39,399,008 PLEASE. THIS IS DAVID. I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THE RESTRICTED BUDGET AS PRESENTED. THIS IS THE AREA. NICE SECOND. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. MR RALLO. ROLL CALL VOTE, PLEASE. DR BELLER. YES. DR HAROLD YES. MS KARWACKI. YES.

MISS KELLY. YES. AFTER PHILLIPS YES. MISS RECORDING. YES. MR ROBINSON. YES. MISS HOLCOMB.

[01:55:06]

[02:00:02]

CORRECT. AND SO THE HOW LARGE IS THE EXISTING STAFF RIGHT NOW? I WILL DEFER TO MR RICHARDSON TO SEE IF HE CAN RATTLE THAT NUMBER OFF HIS HEAD. IF NOT, WE MIGHT NEED TO GET YOU. WE HAVE POSITIONS LIKE 2500. I'M THINKING LIKE 2500 OR THEREABOUTS. WELL IT DEPENDING ON WHICH CATEGORY YOU'RE LOOKING AT ME POSITIONS IN THE BUDGET. WE HAVE 4725.9. WE'RE. REQUESTED 1 30 WAS TALKING ABOUT TEACHING POSITIONS, AND THAT'S FINE POSITIONS JUST WAS CURIOUS, BECAUSE I GUESS WHAT I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND, AND WE'RE ADDING TEACHERS WERE PROBABLY IN EARLIER IN PUBLIC COMMENTS AND AS WE'RE ALL WELL WHERE WE ARE GOING TO LOSE TEACHERS THIS YEAR. ESTIMATING WHAT I'VE HEARD . SOME OF THE ESTIMATES COULD BE AS HIGH AS 100, BUT THESE 107 138.2 IS IN ADDITION TO ANYTHING EXISTING STAFF, WHICH WE WOULD BE ABLE TO POST POSITIONS YOU REPLACE ON ANYONE'S DEPARTURE, CORRECT. YES I BELIEVE THAT WOULD BE CORRECT. I MEAN, IN GENERAL TERMS UNLESS THE POSITION WAS ELIMINATED. I'M JUST SAYING IN GENERAL WE HAVE WE'RE BUDGETING FOR THE STAFF MEMBERS. LET'S SAY 2500. IS TEACHING POSITIONS AND WE'RE ADDING 138.2 TEACHING POSITIONS TO THAT EXISTING UNIVERSE. AND SO SHOULD ANYBODY LEAVE. THESE ARE MEANT TO BE ADDITIONAL POSITIONS, NOT REPLACEMENT POSITIONS. THESE ARE ADDITIONAL POSITIONS, BUT WE ARE TRANSFERRING SOME POSITIONS THAT CURRENTLY OUR STAFF FROM THE RESTRICTED BUDGET INTO THIS BUDGET. SO THESE ARE THE SPECIAL EDUCATION AS I MENTIONED THERE'S THREE PROGRAMS THAT ARE BEING INTRODUCED FOR NEXT YEAR, SO THOSE WOULD BE NEW POSITIONS, BUT THERE ARE MANY POSITIONS OUT OF THAT ARE TRANSFERRING OVER. WE DO HAVE A SLIDE THAT BREAKS DOWN THE, UM, POSITIONS IF YOU'D LIKE US TO PULL THAT UP. NO THAT'S OKAY. AND I APPRECIATE THAT SO MUCH. I JUST WANTED TO UNDERSTAND REALLY FOR THE PUBLIC AND YOU'VE MADE EVEN FURTHER CLARIFICATION BY SAYING SOME OF THOSE POSITIONS MAY ALREADY EXIST. BUT WE'RE TRYING TO

[02:05:02]

THANK YOU SO MUCH, AND THAT'S THE MY LAST. ALREADY ANYBODY ELSE? ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THE FY 23 UNRESTRICTED BUDGET? RIGHT. WE'RE NOT HEARING ANY. GREAT WITH THAT. I NEED A MOTION AND A SECOND, PLEASE, TO ACCEPT THE UNDER STRICT ID BUDGET. UM 568,000,706. THIS IS DAVID. I MOVE THAT WE ACCEPT THE UNRESTRICTED BUDGET AS PRESENTED BY SECOND, OKAY? IT'S A RACE.

MASTER PLAN WE'LL BE ABLE TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF THE JOHN ARCHER STUDENTS. UM BYE. COMBINING ELEMENTARY SCHOOL FACILITIES SO THAT THEY WOULD BE RIGHT THERE IN THE FACILITY, WITH THEIR TYPICAL DEVELOPING PEERS, AND WE COULD ADDRESS UM, YOU KNOW, SOME ADDITIONAL, UM, CAREER DEVELOPMENT OR YOU KNOW WHAT ARE POTENTIAL LAB SCHOOL SO THAT WE CAN DEVELOP OUR OWN? YOU KNOW, TEACHERS IN THE FACILITY.

AND WE WOULD DEFINITELY NEED TO IN 2026. WE EVALUATE THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT THE VIRUS RETEAM ON FORWARDED TO THE SUPERINTENDENT AND UPDATE THE ATTENDANCE DATA. BASED ON THE ATTENDANCE AREA THAT WE. DETERMINE IS NECESSARY. THE NUMBERS STUDENTS AND AFTER WE GO THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLANNING PROCESS AND THE EXISTING STUDENT CAPACITY AND 2026. WE HAVE TO DO ANOTHER VIOLATION JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE USE IN CURRENT DATA AT THAT TIME. THE THIRD RECOMMENDATION, MR PLAN FOR FUTURE GROWTH. UM AND TO WORK WITH THE COUNTY TO LOOK AT PROPERTY PROPERTY ACQUISITION FOR FUTURE GROWTH, YOU KNOW, AND HAVE THE GRACE AND IN OTHER AREAS OF THE COUNTY AS WELL, SO WE'VE ALREADY STARTED HAVING SOME DIALOGUE WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING HIS ONLY TO SHARE DATA AND TO LOOK AT OUR SCHOOLS AND LOOK AT THE PROPERTY

[02:25:05]

WE'RE LOOKING TO SEE IF WE CAN PUT A PROCESS IN PLACE SO THAT WE HAVE LIKE A SAFETY NET AND ANOTHER SET OF EYES TO WORK WITH SCHOOLS THAT ARE AT OR ABOVE CAPACITY. SO THAT WE DON'T CONTINUE TO, UH UM APPROVED BOUNDARY EXCEPTIONS AND THEN CREATE MORE OVERCROWDING. THE OVER THE GRANDFATHERING FOR THIS INITIATIVE AFTER ELEMENTARY E AS SECONDARY LEVELS. ONE THING WE NEED TO POINT OUT IS THAT IF YOU OPT IN JUST A AT THE EXISTING SCHOOL THAT YOU'RE CURRENTLY ENROLLED. TRANSPORTATION WOULD NOT BE PROVIDED. UM AND WE'RE LOOKING TO, UM, ALLOW STUDENTS.

UM YOU KNOW, WITH OLDER, UM SIBLINGS TO ALSO BE GRANDFATHER , THEN IF THEY HAVE 1/6 GRADE OR SEVENTH GRADER AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL, AND YOU'RE RISING, YOU KNOW, SIXTH GRADER MOVING FROM ELEMENTARY TO BELLY MIDDLE AND YOU HAVE AN OLDER SIBLING, AND THAT'S COOL THAT YOU WOULD ALSO BE ALLOWED TO ATTEND. AND THAT WOULD BE THE SAME FOR AT THE SECONDARY LEVEL. AND ALSO WE'RE LOOKING TO MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENTS . WE ARE WORKING WITH OUR GENERAL COUNSEL TO REVIEW OUR EVERY DECISION AND POLICY TO SEE IF WE CAN MAKE ADJUSTMENTS THERE TO MAKE. OUR ENROLLMENT ARE ADDITIONAL PROCESS. UM, HELLO EASIER THAN IT CURRENTLY IS IN, UM, WE CAN MAKE YOU KNOW SOME ADDITIONAL ADJUSTMENTS TO ATTEND THIS AREA. THERE'S UM SO WHERE THAT'S SOMETHING VALUATION WILL COME BACK TO THE BOARD WITH ANY RECOMMENDATIONS. SO THE TIMELINE HERE, UM. I WOULD LIKE TO IMPLEMENT WANTS THE BOARD MAKES THIS DECISION ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SECONDARY ATTENDANCE AREAS SPECIFIC TO THE BEL AIR, MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL. ATTENDANCE AREA. COME BACK, ASK DESCRIBED.

WE HAVE ISSUED THE R F Q R R Q. SO WE CAN GET CONSULTANTS ON BOARD TO DO THE FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR THE JOHN ARCHER, UM, ELEMENTARY SCHOOL COMBINATION SCHOOL. SO THE R F Q S OUT ON THE STREET NOW WHERE WE WOULD WORK TO DO AND MAY HAVE 2024. COMPLETE DESIGN STARTED CONSTRUCTION AND THEN TWO YEARS LATER IN 2026, WE WOULD OPEN A NEW SCHOOL AND THEN WE WOULD HAVE REVISED CHANGE AREA AND ATTENDANCE AREA. FOR THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. UM. THEN WE WOULD OPEN THAT SCHOOL FACILITY . UM YOU KNOW, IN THE SCHOOL YEAR OF 2026 WITH THE NEW NEW ADJUSTMENTS AND LIKE I SAID DOWN PREVIOUSLY AND EARLY EARLIER IN THE PRESENTATION, WE WOULD THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO REENGAGE THE PUBLIC JUST SO THAT YOU KNOW WE ARE TRANSPARENT WITH ANY ADJUSTMENTS THAT WE, UM YOU KNOW, FEEL THAT WE NEED TO MAKE SO THAT WOULD BE A, UM A PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT PROCESS SPECIFIC TO THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ATTENDANCE AREAS AND THE ADJUSTMENTS THAT WE WOULD NEED TO MAKE. THEN WE WILL COME BACK TO THE BOARD WITH THE OPENING OF THE NEW SCHOOL. AND YOU WILL HAVE TO APPROVE THE NEW SCHOOL. THE NEW SCHOOL TENNIS AREAS AND THE

[02:30:02]

UM. MR SPICER, LET ME ASK A QUESTION BEFORE WE GET STARTED. IS THERE ANY REASON WE CAN'T KIND OF BREAK THIS DOWN AND APPROVE IT PIECE BY PIECE? OR DO WE NEED TO APPROVE IT IN TOTAL, IF YOU CAN PROVE IT, PIECE BY PIECE AS LONG AS NO. ONE PIECE IF YOU WERE TO PASS IT CONFLICTED WITH ANOTHER PIECE THAT YOU PASSED. OKAY? ALL RIGHT. I THINK WE'RE GOING TO DISCUSS IT PIECE BY PIECE FOR SURE. SO I'M GOING TO GO DOWN OUR LIST THAT WE'VE BEEN GOING DOWN, FOLKS, BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE THIS IS GONNA HAVE A LOT OF CONVERSATION. UM SO THE FIRST RECOMMENDATION TO ADDRESS THE MIDDLE SCHOOL CAPACITY CONCERNS. DR PHILLIPS. YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS OR CONCERNS? MM. NO, I DO NOT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MISS KELLY. NO QUESTIONS. NO CONCERN. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR CARTY. YES, THANK YOU. CAN I ASK TO GO BACK TO THE SLIDE THAT HAS THE MIDDLE SCHOOL CAPACITY CONCERNS WHERE WE TALK ABOUT NUMBERS IN THE SCHOOL? A LITTLE BIT EARLIER INTO, PLEASE SPEAK A LITTLE EARLIER IN THE PRESENTATION.

IT'S THE SLIDE. THIS IS IT, IS IT FIRST, THOUGH I WANTED TO SAY THIS WAS A GREAT PRESENTATION, AND I THINK IT REALLY YOUR NUMBERS REALLY ARTICULATE THE CONCERN FROM THE COMMUNITY AND HOW WORKING WITH THE COMMUNITY CAME UP WITH RECOMMENDATIONS WITH REGARD TO THE GRANDFATHERING IN THE BOUNDARY EXCEPTIONS AND, UM, REALLY SEEMS LIKE WE'VE REALLY APPEASED PLEASED. REALLY ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF STUDENTS OR THE BASED ON THE MAJORITY OF CONCERNS WE HAD AT THE FRONT END OF THIS, AND I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU. THIS IS REALLY GREAT, MUCH EASIER. IF YOU'VE SEEN IT A COUPLE TIMES BECAUSE IT'S QUITE COMPLEX. AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT. BUT MY QUESTIONS RELATE TO BEL AIR MIDDLE SCHOOL AND, UM HAVING HAD THE PLEASURE AND OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT THAT SCHOOL ON HOW CROWDED THAT SCHOOL IS, UM, I BELIEVE IN CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG. WE'RE OVER 1400 ATTENDEES AND THAT SCHOOL RIGHT NOW. I HAVE TO ASK MISSY VALENTINO THE SEE IF SHE ASKED THE CURRENT ENROLLMENT OR THE MOMENT THAT WE HAD COME SEPTEMBER 20 NUMBER ENSURE I'M SORRY. THANK YOU. GO AHEAD. UM I HAVE 1354 RIGHT NOW. 354 AND I UNDERSTAND WHAT THE INCOMING SIXTH GRADE, WHICH IS A SLIGHTLY DECLINED FROM PRIOR SIXTH GRADES. UM THAT WE'RE STILL HEADED TO HAVE QUITE A ROBUST SCHOOL NEXT YEAR, AND THAT THE SIXTH GRADE BEYOND THAT IS EVEN LARGER. SO WITHOUT THIS CONSIDERATION OF BALANCING ENROLLMENT. I THE SCHOOL IS AT ITS BRIM. AND UM, I FOUND OUT TODAY. I BELIEVE IF I HAD THE STATISTICS RIGHT THAT THERE ARE , UH, REQUIRED TO HAVE 10 LUNCH SCHEDULES IN THAT SCHOOL IN ORDER TO ACCOMMODATE ALL THE STUDENTS IN THE CAFETERIA THE WAY IT IS ARRANGED RIGHT NOW, SO I KNOW WE'VE GOT AN AWFUL LOT OF PUBLIC COMMENT RECENTLY WITH CONCERN TO BELLAIRE MIDDLE SCHOOL, AND, UM I APPRECIATE THE WAY YOU'VE BROKEN THIS DOWN. ANO HAVE ISSUES, BUT. WE'VE GOT TO START SOMEWHERE. AND SO I APPRECIATE THE PRESENTATION. SO I GUESS MORE THAN MORE THAN

[02:35:01]

YES. SO. AND MAYBE THIS IS A DOCTOR BELSON QUESTION. WHAT WOULD BE THE IMPACT. ON TEACHING AND LEARNING. IF WE IF WE DO NOT APPROVE THAT IMAGES, SIX RIGHT? PIECE OF DEATH. I SUGGEST THAT.

BELLA MIDDLE SCHOOL IS OUR MOST ACUTELY OVERCROWDED SCHOOL. AS YOU'VE SEEN THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS, WE HAVE MANY ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS THAT ARE IMPACTED. BUT OUR ABILITY TO MANAGE THAT CAPACITY IN THOSE IS. WE HAVE MORE ABILITY TO MANAGE THAT CAPACITY. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT PARTICULARLY PRESSURE ON THOSE COMMON SPACES. AND OUR ABILITY. TO YOU KNOW, OFFERING 10 LAUNCHES IS VERY CHALLENGING BECAUSE THAT SPREAD STUDENTS OUT SO NOT MAKING A CHANGE OF ELEMENTAL IT'S ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE AS THE ENROLLMENT CONTINUES TO GROW. UM AND SO I DO THINK THAT'S A THE GREATEST CONCERN AREA TO NOT BEGIN GETTING AHEAD OF THAT. UM, ALSO THE FACT THAT. THE IDEA THAT THAT PARTICULAR AREA IS CLOSED DOWN AND SET. IN OTHER WORDS, TO, UM AP FO THAT. AFFECTS DECISIONS ABOUT DEVELOPMENT. IT AFFECTS THE ENTIRE MIDDLE SCHOOL FEEDER AREA. SO ALL OF THE AREAS FED BY BELLY ARE ALSO IMPACTED, SO IT HAS A DISPROPORTIONAL IMPACT. ON THE DEVELOPMENT DECISIONS AS WELL. SO. AGAIN NOT NOT DOING ANYTHING TO ADDRESS THIS WOULD WOULD PUSH THOSE DEVELOPMENT ISSUES WOULD PUSH THE IMPACT ON ALL THE COMMON SPACES IN THE SCHOOL, THE STRESS ON ALL THE COMMON SPACES. PARTICULARLY HALLWAYS, LUNCHROOMS. JIM'S AUDITORIUMS, EVERYTHING THAT ALL THE STUDENTS SHARE SOMETHING THAT WOULD ONLY CONTINUE TO GET WORSE OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS. AND SO THIS IS REALLY THE SCHOOL THAT NEEDS THE MOST IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. THANK YOU. NO FURTHER QUESTION. CAN I ASK ONE MORE QUESTION. PLEASE JUST GO TODAY WITH REGARD TO WELL, MR DR WILSON SPEAKING. I BELIEVE CLASS SIZES ARE ON AVERAGE 40 STUDENTS IS THAT CORRECT? I WOULDN'T. I DON'T BELIEVE AVERAGE. I THINK WE HAVE SOME EXAMPLES OF 40 STUDENTS. BUT WITH THE AVERAGES ARE LOWER THAN THAT. UM BUT THE CHILD. I MEAN, THIS IS ONE OF THOSE RARE CASES WHERE AND WE HAVE SO MANY STUDENTS IN THE BUILDING THAT EVEN WITH PORTABLES RUNNING OUT OF SPACE IS TO PUT THEM UM AND SO. YOU KNOW, NORMALLY, CLASS SIZE IS JUST ONE OF THE MANY THINGS THAT'S AFFECTED WHEN A BUILDING IS OVERCROWDED. BUT WE'VE WE'VE REACHED SUCH A CRITICAL POINT AT BEL AIR MIDDLE THAT THAT IS ALSO AN ISSUE. SO YES, THERE ARE SOME CLASSES THAT REACH 40. AND THERE ARE OTHER CLASSES THAT ARE CROWDED BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE BASIS TO PUT STUDENTS. BUT I WOULDN'T CALL THAT THE AVERAGE CLASS SIZE.

THANK YOU. OKAY? NOBODY ELSE WAS THAT DR BAUER ANY QUESTIONS? NO QUESTIONS, BUT I DO. AH, COMET.

[02:40:07]

UM AT THE START OF THE PROCESS. I WAS VERY MUCH THINKING WE SHOULD TRY TO REBALANCE EVERYTHING AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. AND. I'VE DEFINITELY CHANGED TO SAY OKAY. WE DO NEED TO MINIMIZE IT A LOT MORE. UM I THINK THE RECOMMENDATION WE HAVE HERE. MAYBE TO MINIMIZE THOSE. AND I DO WORRY ABOUT WHETHER WE'RE GOING TO BE VISITING THIS SOONER RATHER THAN LATER. SO I'M CURRENTLY SUPPORTING THE RECOMMENDATIONS AS PRESENTED AND NOT TRYING TO EXCLUDE ANY OF THE AREAS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, SIR. MS KARWACKI ANY QUESTIONS CONCERNS, COMMENTS. MHM. NOT AT THIS TIME. I THINK THAT. DOC THAT CORNELL AND HIS STAFF HAVET SITUATION. AND DONE THE BEST JOB THAT COULD POSSIBLY BE DONE. INNOCENCE DISTANCE AND TRYING TO ADDRESS THE CAPACITY CONCERNS.

AND. I JUST. I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR ALL THE WORK. AND FOR THE EXPLANATIONS, THE EXTRA INFORMATION THAT YOU PROVIDED NOT ONLY TO US, BUT TO THE PUBLIC OR LISTENING THIS EVENING. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MISS HOLCOMB. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, CONCERNS, COMMENTS. I HAVE NO QUESTIONS, CONCERNS OR COMMENTS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, DR MUELLER. WELL. ONE OF MY BIG CONCERNS, I GUESS IS THE FAMILIES IN MHS SIX HAVE BEEN REACHING OUT TO ME. AND THEY'VE INFORMED ME THAT THE LAST TIME THAT THEY HAD BALANCING ENROLLMENT THEIR STUDENTS HAD BEEN AT SOUTHAMPTON MOVED TO BEL AIR MIDDLE NOW WE WANT TO MOVE THEM BACK TO SOUTHAMPTON, AND THEY FEEL LIKE IT'S BEEN AN UNDUE STRESS PUT ON THEIR PARTICULAR FAMILIES. IF YOU CHANGE THIS, IF IT GOES THROUGH AND IT PASSES, WHAT'S THE GUARANTEE? ANY GUARANTEE THAT IN FOUR OR FIVE YEARS THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE CHANGED AGAIN. I CAN UNDERSTAND THEIR FRUSTRATIONS. I ALSO UNDERSTAND THE OVERCROWDING AND BEL AIR MIDDLE UM, BUT I DEFINITELY UNDERSTAND THEIR FRUSTRATIONS. THEIR STUDENTS ARE IN BELLER, UM, MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL RIGHT NOW. THEY DON'T HAVE THE LUXURY OF BEING ABLE TO TRANSPORT EVERYBODY. TO KEEP THEM GRANDFATHERED IN. SO THIS IS A REAL IMPACT ON REAL PEOPLE. AND I FEEL LIKE WE NEED TO TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION. SO MY QUESTION WAS. WHAT IS GUARANTEED , IF ANY, THAT THE NEXT TIME THIS HAPPENS THAT THEY'RE NOT GOING TO GET SWITCHED BACK AGAIN. MILLER I HAVE TO SAY THAT THERE ARE NO GUARANTEES, AS YOU KNOW, RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT OCCURS. UM WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THE INFORMATION AND MAKE THE BEST DECISION THAT WE CAN TO BALANCE THAT ENROLLMENT THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY SO WE CAN'T WE CANNOT GUARANTEE ANY COMMUNITY. THAT THERE WOULD NEVER BE, YOU KNOW, A AND ADJUSTMENT OR READJUSTMENT AS WE DO WHAT'S BEST FOR SCHOOLS AND STUDENTS AND COMMUNITIES, YOU KNOW, IN TERMS OF THE USE OF OUR FACILITIES AND WHERE PROGRAMS ARE. UM BUT OBVIOUSLY WE AS WE HAD THOUGHT, THIS PROCESS. UM WE ARE VERY AWARE AND WE TRY TO, YOU KNOW, MAKE THE BEST DECISIONS WE CAN TO MINIMIZE THAT IMPACT. FAMILIES. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ALRIGHT. NOTHING ELSE START FORMULA. OKAY. SO THEN, UD OF BASED ON WHAT EVERYBODY ELSE HAS ASKED ABOUT THAT SPECIFIC AREA. I KNOW THAT WE HAVE SAID YOU KNOW, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT GRANDFATHERING PEOPLE IN AND I'VE HEARD WHAT PEOPLE HAVE SAID. IN TERMS OF, YOU KNOW, PARENTS WORK, AND IT'S HARD TO

IF THEY END UP GOING TO A NEW NEW SCHOOLS CHOOSE LIKE A GRANDFATHER AND TO THE OLD SCHOOL, SO JUST TO RELIEVE SOME ANXIETY THAT MIGHT BE AROUND THIS TOPIC. AS A VERY GOOD POINT.
