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

THE HOSPITAL ADMISSIONS AND THE TOTAL NUMBER OF NEW COVID 19 CASES IN OUR AREA. BASED ON THIS TOOL, HARFORD COUNTY IS NOW IN THE LOW COMMUNITY LEVEL, AND AT THIS LEVEL, PEOPLE ARE REMINDED TO STAY UP TO DATE WITH COVID 19 VACCINES AND TO GET TESTED, IF SYMPTOMATIC. OUR DISTRICT DASHBOARD TODAY SHOWS 438 STUDENTS AND ISOLATION 345 IN QUARANTINE, 145 STAFF AND

[00:05:04]

THE CDC UPDATE INCLUDES NEW GUIDANCE ON MASKING AND TRAVEL REQUIREMENT. FOR MASKS. THE CDC RECOMMENDS THAT MATTHEWS IS BASED ON PERSONAL PREFERENCE AND PERSONAL LEVEL OF RISK WHEN IN AN AREA IDENTIFIED AS LOW BY THE NEW COMMUNITY LEVEL TOOL. FOR TRAVEL REQUIREMENTS. THE CDC ANNOUNCED THAT IT WILL NOT ENFORCE MASSACHUSETTS ON SCHOOL BUSSES. THE CDC GUIDANCE STILL HIGHLIGHTS THE IMPORTANCE OF SAFETY LAYERS. SO WE HAVE A DRAFT OPERATIONAL STATUS TO REFLECT THESE STATES. THESE CHANGES JEREMY, I BELIEVE YOU HAVE THIS TO SHARE ON THE SCREEN. AS YOU CAN SEE, THIS DRAFT STATUS INCLUDES THE RECOMMENDATION ABOUT MASKS OPENS AFTER SCHOOL ACTIVITIES CONTINUES DIAGNOSTIC AND VOLUNTARY COVID 19 TESTING. AND INCLUDES DISTANCING WHERE POSSIBLE BY HAVING REDUCED CAPACITY INDOORS FOR LARGE EVENTS AND USE THE FACILITIES. BEFORE DR BOLSON CONTINUES. THE DISCUSSION ABOUT MASKS ARE OPERATIONAL STUFF. EXCUSE ME BEFORE DR BOLSON CONTINUES THE DISCUSSION ABOUT MASKING OR OPERATIONAL STATUS. I'D LIKE TO TAKE A QUICK MOMENT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE WORK OF THE COVID 19 MITIGATION TASK FORCE, WHICH INCLUDES BOARD MEMBERS AND THE HARTFORD COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT. THE SUPPORT OF THE COVID 19 OUTBREAK COMMITTEE, WHICH INCLUDES CENTRAL LEADERSHIP AIMED AT SUPPORTING OUR SCHOOLS. THE OPERATIONAL PRINCIPLES GROUP, WHICH HAS PROVIDED FEEDBACK AND INPUT ON VARIETY OF MATTERS FOR COVID 19 , THE AFTER SCHOOL TESTING LIAISONS FOR ENABLED OUR ATHLETES AND PERFORMERS TO CONTINUE PARTICIPATION DURING THE WINTER. OUR CUSTOMER SERVICE TEAM WHO RESPONDS TO COMMUNITY INQUIRIES AND OUR SCHOOL NURSES.

WHO HAVE BEEN AT THE FRONT LINE OF THIS HEALTH CRISIS FOR TWO YEARS. TEACHERS, ADMINISTRATORS , STAFF DRIVERS, PARENTS AND STUDENTS HAVE ALL WORKED TOGETHER SINCE MARCH, 2020 TO NAVIGATE EACH DAY JUDGE OF THIS PANDEMIC AND IT HAS TRULY EXEMPLIFIED OUR HASHTAG HCPS TOGETHER. THANK YOU ALL. SO I POSTED THIS RECOMMENDATION FRIDAY. AND, OF COURSE, ONE THING THAT ACTUALLY CHANGED ABOUT THE SAME TIME WE WERE POSTING IT AND WASN'T IN THE ORIGINAL RECOMMENDATION. BUT IT HAS BEEN UPDATED AND HERE ON THE SITE FOR YOU TO SEE ABOUT THE BUSSES WERE NOT IN THE ORIGINAL RECOMMENDATION, BUT I HAVE THE LANGUAGE CAPTURED HERE. SO MY RECOMMENDATION TO YOU BOARD IS THAT BOARD OF EDUCATION LIFT THE MASK MANDATE IN HARFORD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS, FACILITIES AND SCHOOL BUSSES EXCEPT FOR HEALTH SWEETS, EFFECTIVE TUESDAY, MARCH 1 2022. I ALSO ASKED THAT YOU. THINK IT WAS IMPORTANT TO MAKE THIS PART CLEAR THAT YOU APPROVE MASK MAKING MASKS OPTIONAL INDOORS EXCEPT FOR THE HEALTH WEEK. EFFECTIVE TUESDAY, MARCH 1ST 2022. NOTHING, OKAY. WE CAN DISCUSS MORE IF YOU'D LIKE. ALL RIGHT, SO THIS IS AN ACTION ITEM. UM ASIAN FIRST AND THEN WE DISCUSSED CAROL AND MOVED THAT WE ACCEPT THE SUPERINTENDENT'S RECOMMENDATION. THIS IS ARIANNA SECOND. ALL RIGHT. DISCUSSION. ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? COMMENTS THINGS THEY WOULD LIKE TO SAY, ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT. YOU WANT TO GO AROUND TO EVERYBODY OR SURE? I'LL START WITH YOU. THANK YOU, PRESIDENT GOTH WHEN WE SAY THAT THE MASTER GOING TO BE OPTIONAL FOR STUDENTS IS CAN YOU EXPAND ON THAT DOCTOR BOLSON WHAT IS OPTIONAL AND WHO'S INCLUDED IN THAT GROUP? OPTIONAL IS FOR EVERYONE. ONE THING WE'VE TALKED AT LENGTH ABOUT IS UM. WE WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW THAT THAT THEY SHOULD FEEL COMFORTABLE WEARING MASKS IF THEY THEY FEEL THAT AS THE BEST CHOICE FOR THEM SAFETY OR FOR THEIR FAMILY. AND SO WE DO WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT NOT ONLY IF THEY FEEL COMFORTABLE, BUT WE CAN PROVIDE MASKS. WE HAVE QUITE A NUMBER OF THE K AND 90 CLASS AVAILABLE FOR ANYONE WHO FIT THOSE AND WE'VE ORDERED. CAN 94 IS FOR YOUNGER

[00:10:05]

QUESTIONS, CONCERNS COMMENT. I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. WE'VE BEEN THROUGH THIS QUITE A BIT WITH THE MITIGATION TASK FORCE AND OTHER AREAS. IT'S BEEN A LONG, TWO YEARS. WE'RE ALL TIRED. BUT IT'S TIME WE NEED TO. WE NEED TO MOVE ON, AND I CERTAINLY AGREE WITH THE RECOMMENDATIONS AS LATE FOURTH BY DR PAUL RIGHT? THE FOCUS. I AM. AS THE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE STUDENTS. JUST MY OPINION FROM WHAT I'VE HEARD, AND I HAVE A VERY UNIQUE POSITION BECAUSE I GO TO HARVARD TEXTS. I KIND OF GET ALL OVER THE COUNTY AND I'VE HEARD THINGS FROM BOTH SIDES AND IT'S PRETTY 50 50. MAYBE 60 40 AT TIMES. BUT I WAS BACK. WHAT. DR SOMEONE'S JUST SAID IN THAT I THINK IT'S TIME THAT MUST BE OPTIONAL AND AS MR PARTY AND DR BOSTON NEEDED LOST BEING OPTIONAL STUDENTS AND STOP MEMBERS STILL HAVE THE OPTION TO WHAT ARE THEIR MOUTHS IF THEY WANT TO, AND IT REALLY IS ABOUT PERSONAL CHOICE AT THIS POINT. THANK YOU. POWER. THANK YOU. SO HERE WE ARE. THE PANDEMIC IS WINDING DOWN, AND WE'RE WORKING ON GETTING BACK TO HOW THINGS USED TO BE PRE PANDEMIC. THIS HAPPENED LAST SUMMER, TOO. CASES DROPPED REALLY LOW BACK IN JUNE, MUCH LOWER THAN THEY ARE NOW AND HCPS LIFTED THE MASK MANDATE EFFECTIVE JULY 1 2021. AND THEN WE HAD A BIG OUTBREAK DURING SUMMER SCHOOL. BACK ON THE FALL . I GAVE A PRESENTATION IN COVID . AND DURING THAT PRESENTATION, I KNOW THAT WE HAD BEATEN THE ORIGINAL STRAIN OF COVID. WE HAD BEATEN THE ALFA VARIANT. DELTA WAS DIFFERENT, AND IT WAS THE PROBLEM THE TIME NOW DELTA'S GONE. THE VARIANT TRACKER ON THE WEBSITE OF THE CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL SHOWS NO DELTA CASES IN THEIR SAMPLES FOR THE MOST RECENT TWO WEEK PERIODS. THEY ONLY SHOW MACRON CASES, ALTHOUGH THEY ARE TRACKING THREE DIFFERENT MACRON SUB VARIANTS. UM CONTINUING TO SPEAK OF THE CDC. AS DISCUSSED BY MARY MATSUDA. JUST A FEW DAYS AGO, THEY UPDATED THEIR GUIDANCE TO REFLECT THAT MUCH LOWER. RATIO OF SEVERE CASES TO TOTAL CASES OF COVID SEEN DURING THE MCCRONE. UNDER THIS NEW GUIDANCE FOR COUNTY, ALONG WITH MOST OF MARYLAND IS IN THE LOW CATEGORY OF THEIR COMMUNITY LEVEL INDEX. AS NOTED IN THE OPERATING STATUS . WE ARE NOT LIFTING ALL PRECAUTIONS. THE PANDEMIC IS NOT QUITE OVER. ALTHOUGH THE END SEEMS TO BE MORE CLEARLY IN SIGHT THAN LAST SUMMER. I WOULD PREFER THAT WE GIVE PEOPLE MORE HOARDING. BECAUSE WHILE IT HAS SEEMED OBVIOUS. I GUESS TO US BEING INVOLVED IN THIS THAT THIS WAS COMING. AH I WAS REMINDED NOT NOT EVERYONE IN THE COMMUNITY IS NECESSARILY AWARE THAT THIS WAS COMING AND IT WOULD BE GOOD TO GIVE THE MORNING HOWEVER, I WILL VOTE TO UPHOLD THE RECOMMENDATION TO LIFT MASKS AS OF TOMORROW. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR ROBINSON. HE MADE STUDY HIS THING KIND OF DROPPING IN AND OUT, ALL RIGHT. MS KARWACKI. YES, THANK YOU. UM I AGREE THAT IT IS TIME GIVEN THE CURRENT DATA THAT WE HAVE TWO. LIFT THE MANDATE AND IN SO DOING WE ARE COMPLYING WITH THE UM. WITH THE STATE'S DECISION, THE STATE BOARD TO RESCIND THE MASK MANDATE. AS WELL AS THE JOINT COMMITTEE OF THE A. L. R. SO. I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THAT AT ALL. IT MAKES SENSE TO MAINTAIN MASKS IN THE HEALTH, SWEET BECAUSE THAT IS THE MOST VULNERABLE. AREA IN THE SCHOOL BUILDING. BUT AS WE TRANSITION TO THIS, UM, CHOICE SITUATION. I WOULD KINDLY REQUEST. THE

[00:15:13]

BECAUSE THEIR OWN PERSONAL FAMILY STORIES. THERE'S PEOPLE IN THEIR FAMILY, THAT ARMY NO COMPROMISED AND THEY'RE WORRIED ABOUT THAT. I AM VERY HAPPY THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE PROVIDING THE OKAY AND 95 K AND 94 MASKS FOR THE STUDENTS THAT WANT THEM, AND I THINK THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PANDEMIC, WE DIDN'T HAVE THOSE READILY AVAILABLE. SO THAT'S A BIG CHANGE. UM, BUT I'M EXCITED AND I REALLY FEEL LIKE IT'S PAST DUE TO SEE THE KIDS FACES AGAIN.

ALRIGHT. WELL, I GO EVEN AFTER YOU. YOU'RE KIND OF A TOUGH NEXT COLUMN. EVERYBODY SAIDHING THATE SAID. I THINK, UM MR ROBINSON. ANY CHANCE YOU'RE ABLE TO JOIN US? I JUST GOT AN EMAIL FROM HIM. HE'S UNABLE TO JOIN. STILL TRYING THEM. THEN IT HAPPENED. ALL RIGHT, WELL, PUT HIM AT THE END, PLEASE. AND WITH THAT, NO MORE COMMENTS OR CONCERNS NOBODY UP THERE. ALL RIGHT. MR ANDREW, CAN YOU PLEASE CALL THE ROLL CALL VOTE. DR BAUER. YES. MS KARWACKI. YES. MISS KELLY. YES.

DR PHILLIPS. HAPPY YET. THIS RECORDING. YES. MISS HOLCOMB? YES. VICE PRESIDENT MILLER. YES.

PRESIDENT GAUTIER. YES. I'LL TRY MR ROBINSON. JUST ON THE CHAIN. I'M ADMITTING HIM RIGHT NOW TO THE MEETING. MS RALLO. OKAY. THANK YOU. THANKS LATER. HE SHOULD BE THERE. MR ROBINSON.

I'M HERE. GREAT. WE'RE DOING OUR ROLL CALL VOTED. YOU'RE TRYING TO VOTE, SIR. OH, ACTUALLY, DID YOU? YES. OKAY. THE MOTION PASSES. ALL RIGHT. WE SHALL RESUME OUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED PROGRAM. SO THAT. MEANS TOMORROW . THAT MEANS SO TOMORROW AND NOT WEAR A MASK IF THEY SO CHOOSE AND THEIR PARENTS SO CHOOSE THE OPERATIONAL STATUS YOU SAW ON THE BOARD WILL BE EFFECTIVE STARTING TOMORROW IN THE SCHOOL. UM. YES, WE'RE IN PLACE. ALL RIGHT. UM ALREADY DID THAT PART

[A. Board Comments]

[00:20:06]

LET'S WELCOME. OCCASSIONS FOR STUDENT MEMBER ON THE BOARD OF EDUCATION POSITION ARE OPEN UNTIL MARCH. 13TH AND LINKED TO THE APPLICATION IS AVAILABLE ON THE GPS WEBSITE AND ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE POSITION. CAN BE DIRECTED TOWARDS ME, THAT'S ALL. ALREADY. DR BAUER.

THANK YOU. SO I WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS SOMETHING FROM THE LAST MEETING. DURING PUBLIC COMMENTS AT THE LAST MEETING. WE HAD A PERSON'S STATE THAT THEY'RE MAKING A REQUEST QUOTE UNDER THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT, SUNSHINE ACT AND MARYLAND PUBLIC INFORMATION ACT IN QUOTE. SO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT IS A FEDERAL LAW THAT ONLY APPLIES TO FEDERAL AGENCIES. IT IS NOT APPLY TO STATE AND LOCAL ENTITIES. FOR THE SUNSHINE ACT. I FOUND TWO FEDERAL LAWS IF PHYSICIAN PAYMENTS SUNSHINE ACT AND THE GOVERNMENT IN THE SUNSHINE ACT. AGAIN NEITHER OF THEM APPLY TO THE BOARD OF EDUCATION NOR ITS MEMBERS. IF YOU HAVE A WEBSITE OR PERSON TELLING YOU TO SEND US STUFF UNDER THESE ACTS. THAT'S NOT CORRECT. NOW THE MARYLAND PUBLIC INFORMATION ACT IS STILL ONLY ALL THAT ACTUALLY APPLIES HERE, AND IT APPLIES TO THE ENTITY OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION AND HCPS. IT DOES NOT APPLIED INDIVIDUALS. PUBLIC INFORMATION ACT REQUESTS SHOULD BE SENT TO MR SPICER, AS DESCRIBED ON THE HCPS WEBSITE. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT WHAT THE LAW ACTUALLY SAYS . THE MIRACLE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE HAS A LOT OF INFORMATION ON THE WEBSITE, WHERE THEY NOT ONLY INTERPRET THE TEXT OF THE LAW BUT ALSO PROVIDE BROADER INTERPRETATIONS FROM PAST CASES. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. MR ROBINSON. NO COMMENTS THIS EVENING. OKAY? MS KARWACKI. UM, THANK YOU. I. I'M SPEAKING FROM MY HEART WHEN I SAY THIS. I'M BADLY IN THE PAST TWO YEARS ON THIS BOARD. I'VE WITNESSED THE DETERIORATION OF CIVILITY. AND.

IT. MM. WAYS HAVE VERY HEAVILY ON MAY BECAUSE I THINK THAT KINDNESS AND CIVILITY ARE SOME OF THE MOST IMPORTANT. UM MESSAGES AND LEARNING THAT WE CAN SHARE WITH THEIR CHILLS. AH I AM PROUD TO BE A MEMBER. OF THIS BOARD. I AM VERY GRATEFUL, ETERNALLY GRATEFUL FOR THE DEGREE OF PROFESSIONALISM DEMONSTRATED BY MY PEERS. BUT MOST OF ALL, I KNOW THAT EVERY DECISION WE HAVE MADE IS FACT BASED. AND MADE TO SERVE. THE SAFETY AND BEST INTERESTS OF THEIR CHILDREN. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MISS KELLY. NO COMMENT. RIGHT, OUR COMMUNITY. I JUST WANT TO SAY AGAIN HOW HAPPY I AM THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO START GOING BACK TO NORMAL. I THINK THERE'S TWO YEARS OF THE PANDEMIC HAVE WORN ON EVERYBODY. AND I HOPE THAT WILL BE SEEN AND

[00:25:01]

[B. Public Comments]

SPEAKERS MAY BE INTERRUPTED AND BE GIVEN NOTICE WHEN THEY HAVE 30 SECONDS LEFT WHEN SPEAKERS HAVE REACHED THEIR THREE MINUTE MARK. THEIR TIME WILL EXPIRE. MISERABLE. WE HAVE STELLA PETERS CALLED. BY HEATHER MILLIE. GOOD EVENING BOARD MEMBERS. WELL, I AM VERY PLEASED WITH THE DECISION THAT YOU MADE TODAY. IT'S THE RIGHT DECISION AND THE RIGHT CHOICE. I'M SADDENED THAT IT HAS TAKEN YOU TWO YEARS TO DO WHAT'S RIGHT FOR OUR CHILDREN. MARYLAND WAS THE LAST STATE IN THE COUNTRY TO OPEN OUR SCHOOLS. AND WE ALLOWED YOU TO ABUSE OUR CHILDREN, AND WE MUST NEVER LET THIS HAPPEN AGAIN. WE ALL KNOW BY NOW THAT MOUSE DON'T WORK. IF THEY DID, WE WOULDN'T NEED A 95.

WE WENT FROM A CLOTH MASK TO AN N 95. MASK HAVE ALWAYS HURT. AND CONTINUE TO HURT OUR CHILDREN PSYCHOLOGICALLY. PHYSICALLY. AND EMOTIONALLY. THEY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO LOW OXYGEN LEVELS AND IMPEDE BRAIN DEVELOPMENT. THEY DO MORE HARM THAN GOOD AND THEY CONTRIBUTE TO RESPIRATORY ILLNESS. STREP THROAT ANXIETY. ACNE AND MERSA. WHAT WE HAVE DONE OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS IS CREATED A GENERATION. FILLED WITH FEAR OUR CHILDREN. WILL NOT RECOVER FROM THIS ANYTIME SOON.

BECAUSE MASS OR SYMBOL OF SUBMISSION AND CONTROL. THE LONG TERM NEGATIVE EFFECTS THAT THESE CHILDREN HAVE SUFFERED OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS WILL BE FELT FOR GENERATIONS TO COME. AND YOU DID THAT. YOU WILL ONE DAY HAVE TO GIVE ACCOUNT TO THE DAMAGE THAT HAS BEEN DONE TO OUR CHILDREN.

NOW LET'S TAKE A SHORT TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE. THE CLASS OF 2020 LOST THEIR ENTIRE SENIOR YEAR AND GRADUATION A RIGHT OF PASSAGE. THEY WILL NEVER GET BACK. YOU DID THAT. THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS. THERE WERE NO SPORTS AND THIS HAD A TREMENDOUS EFFECT ON THEM. DEPRESSION SUICIDE AND SUICIDE IDEATION IN OUR YOUTH HAVE INCREASED ASTRONOMICALLY AND OUR COMMUNITY. OUR SCHOOLS WERE LOCKED DOWN AND WE WERE FORCED TO GO VIRTUAL. THESE STUDENTS DID NOT RECEIVE A REAL EDUCATION AND ALMOST A YEAR AND YOU DID THAT. AS A RESULT, OUR STATE AND COUNTY HAS THE LOWEST TEST SCORES IN THE COUNTRY AND MOST STUDENTS STRUGGLE AND ARE FAILING. THIS HAS NEVER BEEN ABOUT THE SCIENCE. THIS IS ABOUT COMPLIANCE. YOU HAVE HARD OUR CHILDREN. AND WE NEED TO FIX THIS. YOU NEED TO DO BETTER MOVING FORWARD. AND WE MUST NEVER, EVER A LOT OF THIS TO HAPPEN AGAIN. THANK YOU. WE HAVE THE LAND, MARTINO. AH, BY SUNDAY PAPER. GOOD EVENING. AT THE LAST MEETING. I HEARD IT SAID THAT LINCOLN OWNS LEAVES JIM CROW LAWS AND LACK OF AFRICAN AMERICAN REPRESENTATION IN HISTORY. THERE WAS A LITTLE FAKE NEWS IN THAT STATEMENT SINCE LINCOLN NEVER OWNED SLAVES AT ANY TIME IN HIS LIFE. HE WAS BORN DIRT POOR. LIVED IN FREE STATES AND WAS ALWAYS PART OF THE ABOLITIONIST MOVEMENT IN THE NORTH. LINCOLN WAS REVOLUTIONARY IN HIS THINKING FOR HIS TIME PERIOD. AND HE SHOULD BE COMMENDED FOR THAT. PARKED AT ADDRESS. JIM CROW LAWS AND LACK OF AFRICAN AMERICAN REPRESENTATION IN HISTORY WAS SPOT ON. JIM CROW LAWS WERE DERIVED FROM CONFEDERATES LED BY JEFFERSON DAVIS AND CONTINUED IN THE SOUTH AFTER THE WAR. IN REGARD TO AMERICAN HISTORY AT ONE TIME PUBLIC SCHOOL CHILDREN LEARNED ABOUT GREAT AFRICAN AMERICAN PATRIOTS. BEFORE THE

[00:30:06]

SO WHAT DOES DAVIS WOODROW WILSON, ANDREW JACKSON, FRANKLIN ROOSEVELT ALL HAVE IN COMMON? NO, THEY WERE DEMOCRATS. SO IF YOU WANT ANSWERS FOR THESE PAST ATROCITIES IN OUR HISTORY GO TO THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION. COMMITTEE. ON SOUTH CAPITOL STREET AND ASK THEM BUT THE DEMOCRATS ARE STILL UP TO THEIR OLD TRICKS BECAUSE THEY'RE TRYING TO SEGREGATE. BEYOND VACCINATED. YOU STILL HAVE RULES IN PLACE. TO TREAT UNVACCINATED AND VACCINATED CHILDREN.

DIFFERENTLY EVEN THOUGH THEY CAN BOTH CATCH IT, AND THEY CAN BOTH TRANSMITTED EQUALLY. AND A NATION THAT LAGS BEHIND OTHER COUNTRIES IN READING, MATH AND SCIENCE. THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM FOCUSES ON FOCUSES ON IDENTITY POLITICS WHILE CONDEMNING CONDEMNING AMERICA.

INSTEAD OF CREATING UNITY. YOU CREATE THE VISION. YEAH AFTER MORGEN FREEMAN SAID ON SIXTH ONLY 60 MINUTES INTERVIEW. THE BEST WAY TO ELIMINATE RACISM IS A STOP TALKING ABOUT IT AND REMOVE BLACK HISTORY MONTH. ANYONE SHOULD KNOW IT WOULD BE MORGAN FREEMAN. BECAUSE HE WAS GOD TWICE. I HOPE THAT WASN'T BLASPHEMY. PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND STILL MARXIST IDEAS OF CLASS WARFARE. STOKE RACIAL DIVISION. AND TEACH CHILDREN THAT THEY ARE EITHER OF THE OPPRESSED OR THE OPPRESSOR. STOP TEACHING DIVISION AND TEACHING UNITY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR VOTE TONIGHT ON THAT ON ME ASKING OUR CHILDREN GOOD NIGHT. GOOD EVENING, PRESIDENT GAUTIER, VICE PRESIDENT MUELLER, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD SUPERINTENDENT BOLSON FIRST. THANK THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO, AND ALL THAT YOU HAVE DONE FOR THE STUDENTS AND STAFF OF HCPS. YOU GUYS KNOW I DON'T WING IT WELL. SO I HAD TO EDITING. YOU WILL CONTINUE TO DO WHAT'S IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE STUDENTS AND STAFF AS HCPS, AS YOU HAVE DONE SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE PANDEMIC.

PATIENTS HAVE AS YOU HAVE BEEN SUBJECTED TO THE WORST KIND OF VITRIOL OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS HAS BEEN REMARKABLE AND IS GREATLY APPRECIATED. I'M SORRY THAT YOU'VE HAD TO DEAL WITH THIS. I'M HOPING NOW THAT THE MASK MANDATES ARE LIFTED THAT THE HCPS COMMUNITY WILL RESPECT THAT CHOICE MEANS CHOICE REGARDLESS OF THE CHOICE AND RESPECT ONE ANOTHER. AGAIN.

THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU HAVE DONE. THRONE. OH, I'M SO SORRY. NEXT WE HAVE JOSH CASUAL MELISSA HAN. GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE LOOKED AT MY TESTIMONY TO THIS GROUP FROM A YEAR AGO. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT IT HAS TAKEN SO LONG TO EVEN REACH THE CONVERSATION WE'RE HAVING TONIGHT. LAST YEAR, HARFORD COUNTY WAS BRINGING UP THE REAR IN THE STATE IN THE COUNTRY WITH RETURNING FROM VIRTUAL LEARNING. AND WE HAVE TO FIGHT FOR MORE THAN 22 YEARS. ACTUALLY EXCUSE ME. WE HAD TO FIGHT FOR MORE THAN TWO DAYS OF ACTUAL IN PERSON LEARNING. FAST FORWARD TOOK TONIGHT. AND HERE WE ARE STILL DISCUSSING MASKS AND BRINGING UP THE REAR. OUR CHILDREN DESERVE BETTER. THEY ARE THE FUTURE OF THIS COUNTY, STATE AND COUNTRY. BY MAKING THE PROPER DECISION TONIGHT TO UNMASK OUR CHILDREN INSIDE THE SCHOOL BUILDINGS, BUSSES HERE IN THE ADMINISTRATION BUILDING AND EVERYWHERE HCPS HAS CONTROL OF IS OVERDUE. JUST TO SOLIDIFY THE FACTS AROUND UNMASKING OUR CHILDREN. THERE ARE THREE THINGS TO CONSIDER WITH SCIENTIFIC BACKING. ONE OXYGEN DEPRIVATION AND CO. TWO POISONING. CHILDREN REQUIRE MORE OXYGEN THAN ADULTS AS THEIR LUNGS ARE SMALLER AND WEAKER. REDUCING OXYGEN INTAKE CAN CAUSE IRREVERSIBLE, IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGE TO THE BRAIN, HEART AND LUNGS. AFTER JUST ONE MINUTE OR TWO LEVELS ARE 25 TIMES HIGHER THAN ACCEPTABLE, TOLERANT RATE. SYMPTOMS MAY INCLUDE DIZZINESS,

[00:35:03]

AND OUR MISSION IS TO IMPROVE THE SCHOOL SYSTEM AROUND THE INDOCTRINATION PRACTICES AND CRITICAL RACE THEORY, MASK MANDATES AND MAKING SURE THAT THEY PERMANENTLY NOT IMPLEMENTED AGAIN. PORNOGRAPHY THAT IS AVAILABLE IN OUR SCHOOLS. THE VACCINE MANDATES AND PASSPORTS.

THEY ARE NOT WELCOME IN THE VIOLENCE AND BULLYING. IT WAS MENTIONED TONIGHT, MAKING SURE THAT EVERYBODY SHOULD BE THAT THE PEOPLE THAT ARE STILL WEARING A MASK AREN'T GOING TO GET BULLIED. IT'S ACTUALLY FOR EVERYBODY. SO GOOD EVENING TO ALL. AND I WANTED TO SAY A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO THE PARENTS, STUDENTS, FACULTY AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO HAVE BANDED TOGETHER TO FIGHT THESE MANDATES. THIS IS ONLY A SMALL WIND AND WE SHALL CELEBRATE AND WE AND AGAIN WE MUST NEVER FORGET. AND THEN NEVER LET THIS HAPPEN AGAIN. THANK YOU. AND GOOD EVENING. GOOD EVENING. THE LAST TWO YEARS HAVE BEEN SO DETRIMENTAL TO OUR CHILDREN NOT ONLY HAS THEIR MENTAL HEALTH AND MOBY AND BEN AFFECTED THEIR PHYSICAL HEALTH AND WELL BEING AS WELL AS THEIR GROWTH IN GENERAL HAS BEEN SO NEGATIVELY AFFECTED. SET OF MENTAL HEALTH EMERGENCY HAS BEEN DECLARED, AND WE WON'T KNOW THE LONG TERM EFFECTS AND THESE RESTRICTIONS AND MANDATES THAT THEY HAVE HAD ON OUR CHILDREN, AND WE WON'T KNOW FOR YEARS TO COME. THE LACK OF CARE AND CONCERN FOR THEIR MENTAL HEALTH AND PERFORMANCE IN SCHOOL HAS BEEN SAD AND DISGUSTING. EACH AND EVERY CHILD HAS CARRIED THE BURDEN OF PROTECTING THEIR LOVED ONES FROM THIS VIRUS. A CHILD SHOULD NEVER CARRY SOMETHING OF THAT WEIGHT. OUR CHILDREN HAVE MISSED OUT ON SPORTS FIELD TRIPS, ASSEMBLIES, FUN DAYS, PICNICS, DANCES AND NORMAL GRADUATIONS, AS WELL AS THE SIMPLE THINGS SUCH AS SEEING, SMILING FACES. OUR CHILDREN HAVE LOST IRREPLACEABLE MEMORIES AND EXPERIENCES THAT EVERY CHILD SHOULD HAVE GROWING UP. NOTHING WILL EVER BE ABLE TO MAKE UP FOR THE LOSSES THAT OUR CHILDREN HAVE EXPERIENCED THESE LAST TWO YEARS, AND NOTHING WILL EVER REPAIR THE DAMAGE THAT THESE POLICIES THAT YOU HAVE SUPPORTED AND ENFORCED HAS DONE TO THEM OR HOW IT IS FOREVER CHANGED THEM. MASKING IS A CONSTANT REMINDER THAT THEIR LIVES CAN ONCE AGAIN BE TURNED UPSIDE DOWN. REMOVING THE MASS IS THE FIRST OF MANY STEPS NEEDED TO HELP OUR CHILDREN BEGIN TO RETURN TO THE NEW NORMAL WHATEVER THAT IS FOR EACH FAMILY. OUR CHILDREN NEED OUR SUPPORT. NOW MORE THAN EVER, SO MUCH HURT SO MUCH LOSS AND SO MUCH DEVASTATION. THE HARD WORK OF REBUILDING OUR CHILDREN, THEIR MENTAL HEALTH AND THEIR LOVE OF SCHOOL AND ACADEMICS IS JUST BEGINNING WITH THE REMOVAL OF THESE MASKS. THANK YOU FOR VOTING TONIGHT TO REMOVE THEM AND FOR DOING THE RIGHT THING FOR OUR CHILDREN. NEXT. WE HAVE LEILANI NO GUARD. CATERS SORRY, CAN'T PRONOUNCE IT AND FOLLOWED BY BENJAMIN HEUSER. GOOD EVENING . I HAD A SPEECH PREPARED. MY NAME IS LILY NORC ITIS. I'M A SENIOR FALSE IN HIGH SCHOOL. I WAS READY TO ASK YOU TO REMOVE THE MASK MANDATE. UM I JUST WANNA SAY THANK YOU FOR FINALLY REMOVING IT. I REALLY LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING EVERYONE SMILING FACES. I'M NOT IN SCHOOL THIS WEEK. I'M PAGING. I NOTICED THIS WHOLE FROM SHIRT I APPRECIATE, BUT I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING EVERYONE SMILING FACES AND I KNOW THAT KIDS OF HERFORD COUNTY ARE VERY PLEASED. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING. ONCE AGAIN I COME BEFORE YOU TO ASK YOU. WHERE ON EARTH DR BAUER IS. IF IT'S A MEDICAL DEAL. I UNDERSTAND THAT COUNTY COUNCILMAN SHREWD SAYS THE HOOK UP WITH THE GERITOL OR FALSE AND FIRE DEPARTMENT. MAYBE HE CAN WORK THAT OUT TO GET HIM OVER HERE. I CALL HIM THE PRESIDENT AND THE VICE PRESIDENT TO FIND SOME SORT OF WAY TO GET DR DAVID BAUER TO COME HERE IN PERSON. I ACTUALLY WANT TO SEE WHAT THE MAN LOOKS LIKE IN PERSON LIKE LITERALLY. I WANT TO SEE WHAT THE MAN LOOKS LIKE. I DON'T THINK I'M ASKING WAY TOO MUCH AT ALL. SO HERE WE ARE. YOU ALL ARE HOLDING THE BOAT DOING THE CORRECT WAY. IN THE VERY

[00:40:06]

OF THEIR FAMILIES. AND THAT IS ONE THING. THAT UNFORTUNATELY, IS BEING OVERSHADOWED THIS EVENING. I WOULD REALLY LIKE YOU ALL TO REALLY THINK IN YOUR HEARTS ABOUT HOW LUCKY WE ALL ARE TO ACTUALLY BE HERE. FOR ME TO SPEAK TO YOU. WITHOUT FEAR OF BEING PERSECUTED. LOCKED UP GETTING 20 YEARS IN PRISON. FOR JUST SPEAKING ABOUT MY CHILDREN. ADDRESS. YOU MIGHT CONCERN TO THIS COUNCIL. AS OF RIGHT NOW IN RUSSIA. THERE'S OVER 2000 PEOPLE THAT ARE NOW GETTING 20 YEARS FOR PROTESTING. I'M HERE SPEAKING IN FRONT OF YOU, BECAUSE THIS IS A FREE WORLD. I THINK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT OPPORTUNITY. YOU ALL HAVE A WONDERFUL. HE HAD KAYLA AMERICANA BY MICHELLE WILL BE. GOOD EVENING. I HEARD THE CDC MENTIONED FIVE TIMES AT THE BEGINNING OF THE MEETING, AND THE CDC SEEMS TO BE WHO YOU FOLLOWED. TO A TEE UP UNTIL THIS POINT IN CASE YOU FORGOT THAT, LET ME REFRESH YOUR MEMORY. FEBRUARY 26 2020 HPC A HCPS NOTICED WE'RE WORKING CLOSELY TOGETHER AND RECEIVING ADDITIONAL GUIDANCE FROM THE CDC. MARCH 8 2020. WE'RE REACHING OUT TO ENSURE YOU WERE CONTINUING TO RECEIVE GUIDANCE FROM THE CDC. MARCH 14TH 2020, PLEASE FOLLOW A SITE FOR THE CDC FOR THE LATEST AND UPDATED GUIDANCE. YOUR F A Q SECTION ON H P S WEBSITE CONTAINS A DIRECT LINK TO THE CDC FOR HEALTH GUIDANCE. AND I'M SORRY, BUT MY PAPERS ARE OUT OF ORDER. YOU ARE OFFERING AN EMPLOYEE VACCINATION INCENTIVE OF $500, BASED ON GUIDANCE GIVEN BY THE CDC. SO AT THE LAST MEETING, A COMMUNITY MEMBER GAVE AN ARTICLE TO THE BOARD WITH 167 STUDIES DONE ON THE INEFFECTIVENESS AND HARMFULNESS OF MASKS. OBVIOUSLY THE TIME WAS NOT TAKEN TO READ IT BASED ON THE VERY FIRST SENTENCE IN THE STATEMENT SENT OUT BY DR BOLSON. FOR MANY MONTHS DURING COVID 19 PANDEMIC MASK WEARING HAS BEEN AN ESSENTIAL HEALTH PREVENTION MAJOR FOR HCPS STUDENTS AND STAFF. HAD YOU READ ANY OF THE INFORMATION IN THAT STUDY. I'M SURE YOU WOULDN'T HAVE MADE SUCH A RIDICULOUS AND UNTRUE STATEMENT. I, HOWEVER, DID READ THE ARTICLE AND ALL 167 STUDIES . SO LET ME GIVE YOU SOME CORRECT INFORMATION, AND I'LL READ YOU JUST ONE STUDY DONE BY YOUR FAVORITE PEOPLE. YOU GUESSED IT, THE CDC A CDC REPORT RELEASED IN SEPTEMBER OF 2021 SHOWS THAT MASKS AND FACE COVERINGS ARE NOT EFFECTIVE IN PREVENTING THE SPREAD OF COVID 19, EVEN FOR THOSE WHO CONSTANTLY WEAR THEM. SURGICAL AND CLOTH MASKS USED AS THEY CURRENTLY ARE HAVE NO IMPACT ON CONTROLLING THE TRANSMISSION OF THE COVID 19 VIRUS. TO DATE, THE EVIDENCE HAS BEEN STABLE AND CLEAR THAT MASS DO NOT WORK TO CONTROL THE VIRUS, AND THEY CAN BE HARMFUL, ESPECIALLY TO CHILDREN. YES HARDBALL. THERE SHOULD BE NO REASON THAT THESE MASKS WERE EVEN ON IN THE FIRST PLACE. TO BE HONEST, THERE SHOULDN'T HAVE EVEN NEEDED TO BE A VOTE BECAUSE DR BOLSON SIMPLY SENT OUT A LETTER. STATING HCPS WOULD BE MANDATING MASK WHEN THE MASS WERE PUT ON, SO IT REALLY DOESN'T MAKE SENSE THAT YOU EVEN WOULD HAVE TAKEN A VOTE TO TAKE THEM OFF. LASTLY, THE MESS REQUIREMENT HAS BEEN REMOVED AND IT IS NOT BECAUSE OF ANY OF THE PEOPLE IN THE SEATS IT IS BECAUSE OF THE PEOPLE. REAL PEOPLE. AND THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS ARE THE ONLY ONE THANK YOU FOR DID NOTHING. YOUR KIDS. THEY ALLOWED. PASS OFF SPEAKER IS OUT OF ORDER BECAUSE SHE'S NOT ADDRESSING THE BOARD AND YOU MUST NEVER LITTLE MIRACLES. GOOD EVENING. TWO YEARS LATER. WE'RE STILL MISSING PEOPLE FROM THIS BOARD. IT'S UNACCEPTABLE. YOUR SCIENCE SAYS THE MASKS CAN BE MOVED REMOVED TOMORROW. WHY TOMORROW AND WANT. WHY NOT NOW

[00:45:05]

AS IT STANDS THE KINDERGARTEN PHONICS CURRICULUM, WHICH IS NOT BEING REWRITTEN, ONLY EXPLICITLY TEACHES SEVEN LETTERS OF THE ALPHABET AND THEN INSTRUCT STUDENTS ON HOW TO TEACH THEMSELVES THE REMAINING 19 LETTERS OF THE ALPHABET, USING AN ABC CHART. UM SOME QUICK FACTS AND ACP IN SEVERAL STATES HAS TAKEN ACTION TO GET THIS PROGRAM REMOVED. CHILDREN HAVE SUCCESSFULLY SUED THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA FOR EDUCATIONAL MALPRACTICE. FOR NEVER TEACHING THEM TO READ AND GOT TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS AND MONEY RETURNED. THE MAYOR OF NEW YORK CITY, WHICH IS ONE OF THE BIG HUBS OF LUCY CAULKINS, RECENTLY CALLED LUCY CAULKINS AND BALANCED LITERACY. A 20 YEAR MISTAKE. COLORADO PASSED LAW THE READ ACT. EFFECTIVELY BANNING THE CURRICULUM AND THREATENING TO WITHHOLD STATE FUNDS FROM ANY COUNTY THAT CONTINUES TO USE IT.

MASSACHUSETTS IS CURRENTLY PAIN SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO SWITCH AWAY FROM LUCY CAULKINS AND FONTES AND PENNELL. BALTIMORE COUNTY RECENTLY REMOVED FATHERS AND PINEL DUE TO BEING PUBLICLY LAMBASTED FOR THEIR USE AND NATIONAL ARTICLES THAT CAME OUT A FEW YEARS AGO, AND CECIL COUNTY MOVED AWAY FROM BALANCED LITERACY AND IMPLEMENTED BOOKWORMS A SCIENTIFICALLY ALIGNED CURRICULUM AND HAVE SEEN THE GREATEST READINGS GROWTH. IN THE STATE. SO. THE RESEARCH IS CLEAR. 95 TO 99% OF CHILDREN ARE CAPABLE OF LEARNING TO READ. AND YET IN HARFORD COUNTY IN 2019, WE CELEBRATED 43% OF OUR THIRD THROUGH FIFTH GRADERS PASSING THEIR READING ASSESSMENT. IN 2022. WE HAVE NO COMMENT FOR 27% PASSING. WE NEED TO DO BETTER AND PROVIDE A CURRICULUM THAT

[00:50:02]

ALL ABOARD AND THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TONIGHT. I'M HERE TO SAY THANK YOU TO EVERY TEACHER OR ADMINISTRATOR WHO STROVE TO HIGHLIGHT BLACK HISTORY THIS MONTH AND THEIR CLASS OR THEIR SCHOOL. I'M ALSO HERE TO ASK THEM AND EVERY OTHER TEACHER IN THIS COUNTY TO CONTINUE TO DO SO OUTSIDE OF BLACK HISTORY MONTH. BLACK HISTORY IS AMERICAN HISTORY AND SHOULD BE TAUGHT ALL YEAR ROUND. FOCUSING ON HISTORY THAT EXCLUDES THE CONTRIBUTIONS AND STRUGGLES WITH PEOPLE OF COLOR ONLY SERVES TO FURTHER DISCRIMINATION AGAINST THESE COMMUNITIES OUTSIDE OF THE CLASSROOM. FOCUSING ON REAL HISTORY, EVEN THE PARTS THAT MAKE SOME PEOPLE UNCOMFORTABLE. ISN'T THE BEST INTERESTS OF EVERY CHILD IN HCPS SCHOOLS AS WELL AS THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY. I ALSO WANT TO ECHO THE SENTIMENT THAT WE AS A COMMUNITY NEED TO DO BETTER IN MODELING KINDNESS AND CIVILITY TO EACH OTHER. WE MAY NOT AGREE, BUT STOOPING TO NAME CALLING OR BULLYING SETS THE WRONG EXAMPLE FOR THE CHILDREN IN THE COMMUNITY. SOME OF THE COMMENTS THAT I HAVE HEARD AT THESE MEETINGS AND OTHER MEETINGS IN THE COMMUNITY ARE TERRIBLE. SO I WOULD JUST WANT TO ENCOURAGE EVERYONE HERE AND BEYOND TO FOCUS ON KINDNESS.

THANK YOU. HELLO. I AGREE. THEIR KINDNESS AND CIVILITY IS VERY IMPORTANT. BUT WE SHOULD NEVER SACRIFICE TRUTH ON THE ALTAR OF CIVILITY AND KINDNESS. THIS IS A WAR. THIS IS A WAR FOR OUR CHILDREN'S MINDS THEIR BODIES. AND MOST CONCERNING LEE, THEIR SOUL. WE'VE SEEN VIOLENCE PERPETRATED ON OUR KIDS. VIOLENCE IS DEFINED AS AN UNJUST OR UNWARRANTED EXERTION OF FORCE POWER OR AGAINST RIGHTS OR LAWS. IT'S COERCED COMPLIANCE. THEY HAD NO CHOICE. BECAUSE OF WHAT WAS DONE. YOU'VE SEEN AND HEARD THE EVIDENCE AGAINST MASKING FOR OVER A YEAR, YET YOU CONTINUED TO TODAY. TO PERPETRATE THIS MADNESS. WHEN OUR CHILD. SPORTS PARTICIPATION IN A CLINICAL TRIAL IS CONSIDERED FORCED LABOR. FORCED LABOR, ACCORDING TO THE MARYLAND GOV. WEBSITE IS A FORM OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING. HOW MUCH FUNDING HAVE YOU ACCEPTED ON THE BASIS OF THESE FORCED MANDATES FOR THE SCHOOLS? BIGGER CONCERN IS THE COERCION AND STRONG ARMING TO GET EXPERIMENTAL JAB FOR THE TEACHERS AND THE STUDENTS. THERE'S A HUGE NUMBER OF PROBLEMATIC SAFETY CONCERNS AND SIGNALS THAT ARE IGNORED BY YOU AND HER HEALTH DEPARTMENT. THE JOB HAS BEEN IS NOT SAFE, EFFECTIVE. OR NECESSARY. AND RECENTLY, THE CDC NUMBERS SHOW THAT WITH THE JABS, YOU HAVE 1000% INCREASED CASE RATE IF YOU HAVE A BOOSTER 2400 INCREASED CASE RATE. BOOKS AND MATERIALS. WE PLEDGED. UNDER GOD, WE ARE UNDER GOD. WHAT GOD, ARE WE UNDER? WHEN WE HAVE A PROMOTION OF SEXUALLY EXPLICIT MATERIAL IN OUR SCHOOLS. ASK OURSELVES WHAT WOULD YOUR PARENTS HAVE SAID? IF YOU WERE IN SCHOOLS AT THIS TIME AND THE THINGS THAT ARE BEING PROMOTED THE SONG HAS SAID, I WILL SIT NO WICKED THING BEFORE MY EYES. IT'S TIME TO REMOVE THOSE THINGS FROM THE SCHOOLS. AND FINALLY TRUE PANDEMIC. IS THE PANDEMIC THAT'S BEEN RAGING SINCE OUR PARENTS OUR FIRST PARENTS TO FIGHT OUR CREATOR, AND THAT PANDEMIC IS SIN. THE CARRIAGE. JESUS CHRIST. AND THE PROTOCOL IS THE BIBLE. THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH. BUT THE GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT LIFE. HEALTH SATAN IS A LIAR. HE DECIDED HE WANTS TO PULL THAT FROM US. HE'S COME TO IS A THIEF TO STEAL, KILL, STEAL, KILL AND DESTROY. JESUS WAS REJECTED BY MEN. BY THE BUILDER KIND OF LIKE THE SCHOOLS HAVE REJECTED TRUTH AND TAKING GOD OUT OF THE SCHOOL, SO I'M COMING BACK TO YOU TO SAY. BRING GOD BACK. TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS BUT REPENT AND BELIEVE GOSPEL TO SAVING OF YOUR SOULS. WHOEVER CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED. I PRAY FOR YOU. IT. ROBERT MACARTHUR.

MARGIE GALLAGHER. UM. THANK YOU FOR LIFTING THAT MASK MANDATE TONIGHT. UM THE INEFFECTIVENESS AND DETRIMENTAL EFFECTS. THESE MASSIVE HAD ON THE KIDS IN THIS COUNTY. IS IT EXCUSABLE? BACTERIAL PNEUMONIA. PERI ORAL DENTAL ISSUES, STAFF AND FUNGAL INFECTIONS ON THE SKIN. LOWERING OXYGEN CONTENT UP TO 20. NOT BEING ABLE TO FORM WORDS NOT BEING ABLE TO RECOGNIZE FACIAL EXPRESSIONS, SPEECH DELAYS. THIS LIST GOES ON AND THE DAMAGE FROM SOME OF THESE MAY BE PERMANENT.

THEY HAVE MORE DONE MORE HARM THAN GOOD. WHAT MORE DO YOU ALL NEED TO SEE THE BIGGER PICTURE HERE? TO SEE IF THESE MASKS FOR NOT ABOUT REDUCING THE SPREAD OF COVID 19. HAS BEEN PROVEN OVER AND OVER AGAIN. THAT THERE ARE INEFFECTIVE. DR FAUCI HIMSELF AS EVEN SAID SO. SO DON'T TELL ME THIS IS ABOUT SCIENCE. IT IS ABOUT COMPLIANCE. THE GOVERNMENT IS YOUR MASTER AND YOU ARE THEIR SLAVES. NASTY DON'T CONTROL VIRUSES THEY CONTROL YOU. THEY'RE MERELY A SYMBOL OF SUBMISSION. AND BY SUPPORTING MASS, YOU'RE EITHER BEING PLAYED. UNPAID. SO LET'S TALK ABOUT THE INCREASED SUICIDE RATE FROM THE IMPACT ALL THESE RESTRICTIONS HAVE HAD ON OUR CHILDREN. OR DO YOU ALL WANT TO PUT YOUR HEADS IN THE SAND AND PRETEND THIS MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS IS NOT HAPPENING HERE IN GOOD OLD HARFORD COUNTY? OF COURSE, IT DOESN'T HAVE QUITE THE IMPACT UNTIL IT HITS HOME. YOU KNOW, TOLD HAPPENS TO A CHILD, YOU KNOW? SUICIDE CAUSED BY THE ISOLATION AND DEPRESSION THAT THEY HAVE ENDURED FROM THESE RIDICULOUS AND SENSELESS GUIDELINES OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS IS HEART WRENCHING. I HAD MOVED BACK TO HARTFORD COUNTY IN 1991. THE FATAL ACCIDENTS THAT WERE OCCURRING AT THE INTERSECTION OF ROUTE 24 IN BEL AIR SOUTH PARKWAY WAS INCREASING. THERE WAS NO LEFT TURN ARROW AT THE LIGHT TO CROSS THE HIGHWAY. AFTER A SERIES OF NINE CRASHES WITHIN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME WHEN DRIVERS TRIED LEFT TURNS ON A GREEN LIGHT, THE STATE HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION IN FEBRUARY 26 1997 HAD CHANGED THE SIGNAL SO DRIVERS COULD MAKE A LEFT TURN. THEY HAD MET THEIR QUOTA OF CRASHES. FATALITIES INCLUDING THE DEATH OF A SIX YEAR OLD GIRL AND HER GRANDMOTHER THE VERY DAY BEFORE. I REMEMBER IT ALL TOO WELL BECAUSE I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT TOOK SO MANY PEOPLE THAT DIE BEFORE THE LEFT TURN ARROW WAS INSTALLED. A JOB THAT TOOK BETWEEN 3 TO 4 HOURS TO COMPLETE. A JOB THAT THAT HAD TO MEET A CERTAIN CRITERIA AND CERTAIN GUIDELINES A JOB THAT IF YOU LOOK AT THE MANUAL ON UNIFORM TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES , SECTION FOUR C 40.8 WARRANTS SEVEN FRESH EXPERIENCES. THERE HAS TO BE FIVE OR MORE REPORTED CRASHES. MA'AM, YOUR TIME IS UP.

NEXT WE HAVE MISS BETH FANNIN TO WARRANT CHANGES. WE ARE. GALLAGHER, YOUR TIME IS UP. NEXT WE HAVE BETH FANNIN FOLLOWED BY JUST SEE COMING HOME. UM MY DAUGHTER WHO HAD TO LEAVE WE WROTE THIS TOGETHER. BECAUSE OF , UM MAY ASKED, AND THE FACT THAT SHE'S AT NORTH HARFORD HIGH SCHOOL. UM HERE'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO SAY. AND I HAVE TO SAY IT BECAUSE I'M SO AFRAID THAT THE NEXT TIME YOU GET THIS LITTLE BUMP IN THE ROAD, YOU'RE GOING TO THROW MASS BACK ON THESE KIDS. WE HAVE BEEN WEARING MASKS FOR THE FOR ABOUT THREE YEARS, AND COVID IS STILL HERE.

COVID IS NEVER GOING AWAY. IT IS IT IS A VIRUS, JUST LIKE ANY OTHER VIRUS THAT WILL CONTINUE TO CIRCULATE AND MUTATE IN OUR SOCIETY. THE EFFECTIVENESS OF MASKS IS NOT EVIDENT. MY

[01:00:05]

WE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THIS IS GOING TO DO LONG TERM TO HIM. WHETHER IT'S PSYCHOLOGICAL. WHAT HAVE YOU ALL RIGHT. BUT IF WE DON'T HAVE TO HAVE KINDNESS COMPARED TO WHO COMPARED TO WHAT WE'RE SPEAKING OUR MIND. AND I THINK AMERICA IS WOKEN UP. NOT WOKE WERE WOKEN UP. WE'RE WAKING UP. AND EVERY TIME I HEAR THAT IT'S FOR THE KIDS, I THINK. WELL, WHAT ABOUT NOW? WHY SHOULDN'T WE HAVE DONE THIS A YEAR AGO? OKAY BALTIMORE COUNTY. THEY LIFTED IT. I KNEW IT WAS A FOREGONE CONCLUSION. YOU FOLKS THANK YOU FOR DOING IT, BUT WE KNEW YOU WERE GONNA LIFT IT. BUT WHY SO LONG FOR HARFORD COUNTY? WHY SO LONG? UM. PARENTS ARE AWAKENING ON OTHER ISSUES, AND MIKE ALLUDE TO, YOU KNOW, CRT. SOME OF YOUR PARENTS WOULD ROLL OVER IF THEY SAW THE CRAP THAT THEY'RE BEING TAUGHT IN SCHOOL. SO THIS IS REALLY AWAKENING THAT WE'RE ALL GALVANIZED, AND WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT OKAY. AND, UM, I KNOW SOME OF THE SEATS ARE GONNA BE CHALLENGED, AND THAT'S FANTASTIC. THAT'S DEMOCRACY. OKAY BUT WE'RE JUST NOT GOING GOOD DOWN AND BE TOLD. JUST BE CIVIL. SHOWED UP. IT PASSED.

THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE ALL ALONG. I KNOW THERE WAS PROBABLY A SUPPLY ISSUE, BUT I THINK I SAID TWO WEEKS AGO. UM THE BLUE MASK GIVE YOU 5% PROTECTION. THESE GIVE YOU ZERO AND FOR GOD'S SAKES TONIGHT. I MEAN, IF IN SIX HOURS THIS FOUR HOURS THIS MANDATES OFF, WHY ARE WE ALL SITTING HERE? COULD YOU BUDGE JUST A LITTLE BIT JUST A LITTLE BIT AND TAKE THE MASK OFF. WHY AND I'VE SAT BACK HERE. I MEAN, IT'S APPALLING THAT ALL THE PEOPLE AREN'T HERE AND EACH TIME THEY'RE NOT HERE. I DON'T KNOW UNLESS THEY'RE REALLY SICK, AND THEY SHOULD GIVE UP THEIR PLACE ON THE BOARD AND LET SOMEBODY THAT'S COME. ARE ABLE TO NOT COMPETENT BUT ABLE TO BE HERE TO REPRESENT. I SAT BACK HERE THROUGH MOST OF IT, AND ALMOST ALL OF YOU WEREN'T EVEN LOOKING AT THE PEOPLE UP HERE TALKING. YOU'RE DOING THINGS YOU'RE LOOKING DOWN THEM AND YOU TAKE HIM NOTES ON EVERYTHING THEY SAY BECAUSE YOU REALLY PROBABLY DON'T GIVE A CRAP WITH THESE DEROGATORY YOU THINK OF AS DEROGATORY. BUT IT'S THE PASSION. THAT HAS BUILT UP IN IN THE PEOPLE. THE PARENTS AND THIS IS JUST ONE ASPECT OF OUR REALLY MESSED UP SOCIETY RIGHT NOW IS THE SCHOOL THING, BUT I MEAN, ARE AS PARENTS AND I DON'T EVEN HAVE ANY CHILDREN RIGHT NOW IN THIS HARVARD COUNTY SCHOOL SYSTEM. I DID, AND I HAVE A TEACHER THAT TEACHES IN BALTIMORE COUNTY FIRST GRADE. BUT I DON'T KNOW. I JUST HAD TO FEEL LIKE YOU'RE ALL YOU KNOW. WE'RE JUST UP HERE. YOU'RE LIKE ALL GONE. LET THEM GET THEIR THREE MINUTES OFTEN. I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T SEE THE ATTENTIVENESS OR JUST YOUR YOU KNOW YOUR COMPASSION FOR OUR PASSION THAT WE HAVE FELT AND HIS PASSIONATE AS YOU MIGHT BE ABOUT FOLLOWING THE CDC AND GOD FORBID, DR FAUCI AND ALL THAT. I MEAN. OH MY GOD, PLEASE PEOPLE WAKE UP. THAT IS THE MOST EVIL MAN AND HE HAS NO IDEA WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT. IT IS ALL MONEY.

THIS WHOLE THING IS FOLLOWING THE MONEY. AND I JUST SAY GOING FORWARD IF ALL OF YOU THAT ARE HERE AND THE ONES THAT AREN'T UM , GOING FORWARD, PLEASE FIGHT FOR US WITH THE MANDATES. NONE OF THESE 80% OF CHILDREN VACCINATED IN NORTHERN COUNTY IS UP. TERRIBLE THING. IT SHOULD BE 0% VACCINATED. NOBODY KNOWS. I DON'T CARE WHAT THEY SAY. YOU DO NOT KNOW THE LONG TERM EFFECTS.

ALL THESE VACCINES ON THESE CHILDREN I WORK WITH AT A VETERINARY CLINIC. AND THE DOCTOR THERE SAID IT IS AFFECTING LITTLE GIRLS. OVARIES SHE'S ON THE G BMC BOARD.

PARENTS STONED OFF. GOD. WE HAVE VICKI JONES. GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE. UM, I AM EXHAUSTED.

AND I WANT TO THANK YOU ALL JUST FOR BEING HERE FOR BEING INVOLVED FOR BEING ENGAGED AND FOR JUST DEALING WITH THIS FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO ALL OF THE TEACHERS AND ALL OF YOU HERE THIS EVENING. ALSO A GUY MENTIONED MORGAN FREEMAN SHOULD KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT RACE BECAUSE HE'S BLACK. HE WAS CANCELED LONG TIME AGO, SO HE'S NOT A GOOD POINT OF REFERENCE. ON THIS LAST DAY OF BLACK HISTORY MONTH. I WANTED TO SHARE SOME OF MY THOUGHTS. WHY DOES BLACK HISTORY MONTH MATTER? WHEN THE CELEBRATION BEGAN IN 1926.

AFRICAN AMERICANS WERE 50 OR SO YEARS OUTSIDE OF SLAVERY. AND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THEIR

[01:15:03]

LYNCHINGS MASS MURDERS. AND MASSACRES. WHITE MOBS ATTACKED BLACK NEIGHBORHOODS AND CITIES.

DURING THE SO CALLED RED SUMMER. TULSA MASSACRE. AND ERASE BLACK COMMUNITIES LIKE SINICA VILLAGE.

IDLEWILD, MICHIGAN. AND WARREN, MARYLAND. ALONGSIDE THIS VIOLENCE WAS AN ATTEMPT TO WHITEWASH U. S HISTORY. EXCLUDING BOTH THE CONTRIBUTIONS AND THE REALITIES OF BLACK PEOPLE. STATUES OF CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS WERE ERECTED. AND A COMPLETE REVISION AND DISTORTION. OF THE CIVIL WAR SLAVERY. EMANCIPATION. AND RECONSTRUCTION. WAS BEING DEEPLY EMBEDDED INTO OUR AMERICAN PUBLIC EDUCATION SYSTEM. AMERICAN HISTORY REMAINS SEGREGATED. MANY COURSES ARE TAUGHT FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF WHITE AMERICANS AND STUDENTS.

MOST OF THE BOOKS KIDS ARE REQUIRED TO READ ARE STILL WRITTEN BY AND FROM THE EXPERIENCE OF WHITE PEOPLE. WITHOUT BLACK HISTORY MONTH. OUR HISTORY PROBABLY WOULDN'T BE.

AND REALLY WASN'T TAUGHT AT ALL. INEQUALITY IS LITERALLY WRITTEN INTO THE U. S CONSTITUTION.

INTEGRATING BLACK HISTORY INTO AMERICAN HISTORY ISN'T SIMPLE. UM NEXT YEAR FOR YOUR LESSONS, I WOULD ASK THAT PEOPLE INSTEAD OF SHOWCASING BLACK PEOPLE WHO INVENTED THINGS TO REALLY TALK ABOUT THE TRUTH ABOUT THE AMERICAN EXPERIENCE. AND I WANT TO THANK THOSE PARENTS, TEACHERS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND STUDENTS WHO WANT TO LEARN MORE. AND CELEBRATE BLACK HISTORY MONTH IN YOUR HOMES. LASTLY, I WANT TO ASK. THAT THE HARFORD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM PICKED BACK UP THE CONVERSATION ABOUT CHANGING THE NAME OF WILLIAM PACA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

UM I DON'T WANT OUR BABIES. TO BE IN A SCHOOL NAMED BY A SLAVE OWNER. THANK YOU. NEXT. WE HAVE DEIDRE, FRANCE. AS DEIDRE, FRANCE. THEY WERE RESPECTFUL TO YOU. BEN HARPER. IN IN CANADA.

GOOD EVENING BOARD MEMBERS. UM. FIRST I DO NOT APPRECIATE BEING THREATENED AND THREATENED. I WAS BY A LETTER SENT TO ME FROM RACHEL. TO THREATENING TO PREVENT ME FRONGS. AND THREATENG LEGAL PROCEEDINGS BECAUSE I. DISRUPTED THE LAST MEETING. THANK GOD. THESE THINGS ARE TELEVISED BECAUSE THAT THAT WOULD TELL THE WHOLE STORY. UM. ISIS SPECT. THIS LETTER HAD MORE TO DO WITH THE HURT FEELINGS OF VP CAROL MARLER, WHO I CALLED OUT AT THE LAST MEETING. SO LET ME SPILL THE TEA. CONCERNING THAT. SHE MET ME FOR LUNCH MONTHS AGO. SHE REITERATED SHE WAS SURROUNDED BY LIBERALS AND HER HANDS WERE TIED. SHE MADE CLEAR THIS INCLUDED. RACHEL AND HER FRIEND ZONE. YES, SHE CLAIMED SHE HAD NO VOICE. I CONSIDERED HER AN ALLY. NOPE.

NOT AFTER THE LAST MEETING. I THINK SHE CLEARLY TRIGGERED RACHEL TO SEND ME A THREATENING LETTER. BUT NO BOARD MEMBERS. TRUST NO ONE BECAUSE, LIKE MOST BUREAUCRATIC AND ENTITIES, THERE ARE SNAKES AMONG YOU. YOU'RE VERY FOOLISH TO TRUST ONE ANOTHER. BEST TRUST YOUR GUT TRUST. GOD GET RIGHT WAS STOPPED BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE. AND SHAME ON. ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN.

ENGAGING IN THIS BREED NICULESCU MASK. HOLD IT. BARS SHAME ON YOU. IT'S GOING TO COME BACK AROUND TO BITE YOU. FOR SURE. ALL THE SPEAKERS THIS EVENING. RIGHT MISS LEADER. GOOD EVENING

HTTPS IN HPC ATTORNEY TO DETERMINE THAT THE SAME FEDERAL LAW TRAVELED WITH THE HUNDREDS OF HCPS STUDENTS WHILE ATTENDING CLASS AT HARVARD COMMUNITY CALLED THIS IS JUST ANOTHER GLARING EXAMPLE THAT THIS BOARD INCLUDING THE SUPERINTENDENT OF BUREAU, RESPECT FOR PARENTS.

FINALLY YOU SPEAK OF KINDNESS, INSTABILITY, BUT IN THE SAME BREATH, YOU TALK DOWN AND YOU CONDESCEND TO EVERYONE IN A DEPENDENT. I GUESS THE SPORT DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO LEAD BY EXAMPLE. I BELIEVE THAT CONCLUDES OUR VIRTUAL PUBLIC SPEAKERS FOR THE EVENING,

THAT OTHER CATEGORIES MADE UP OF MANY DIFFERENT. LINES WITHIN OUR BUDGET SO YOU CAN SEE THE SHORTFALLS AND SURPLUSES IN EACH OF THOSE LINES, NETTING TO ABOUT A HALF A MILLION DOLLARS. AND WE'LL MONITOR THAT AS WE GO THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE YEAR, BUT ALL IN ALL, WE ARE FINE WITH OUR REVENUES AT THIS POINT IN THE YEAR. OUR EXPENDITURES WERE SHOWING A PROJECTED SURPLUS OF $16.6 MILLION. I WILL POINT OUT THAT THE BULK OF THAT IS IN FIXED CHARGES, WHICH IS OUR GROUP HEALTH INSURANCE WHERE OUR GROUP HEALTH INSURANCE LINE LIES AND THAT MONEY THAT BUDGETARY SAVINGS IS NOT INCLUDING THE BACK SEEN INCENTIVE PAYOUTS OR THE PREMIUM HOLIDAYS THAT WE WILL BE SHARING WITH OUR EMPLOYEES IN MARCH AND APRIL. SO I LOVE TO TALK ABOUT FUND BALANCE. IT'S ALWAYS FUN TO TALK ABOUT IT WHEN THERE'S MONEY AT THE BOTTOM OF THAT. WE HAVE A PROJECTED EXCESS OF REVENUES OVER EXPENDITURES OF $16.9 MILLION ARE TOTAL FUND BALANCE. AT JULY 1ST 2021 WAS $49.5 MILLION. THE ASSIGNMENTS ARE LISTED THERE. THOSE INCLUDE THINGS FOR THE CURRENT YEAR BUDGET ASSIGNMENT THE PROPOSED ASSIGNMENT FOR NEXT YEAR. IF YOU RECALL, WE TRANSFERRED MONEY TO CAPITAL BUDGET AT THE END OF FY 22 FOR SPECIFIC PROJECTS. 10 MILLION OF THAT WAS FOR A NEW ER P SYSTEM FOR HCPS. WE ALSO HAVE SOME ASSIGNMENTS FOR FUEL FOOD SERVICE ARE AT LEAST PAYMENTS FOR OUR DEVICES AND SOME INVENTORY THAT WE HAVE ON HAND SO THAT THOSE TOTAL ASSIGNMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31ST OF 31.1 MILLION WHICH LEAVES US WITH THE PROJECTED ON ASSIGNED FUND BALANCE OF 35.3 MILLION, WHICH IS ABOUT 6.8% OF OUR OPERATING BUDGET. SO WITH THAT I'M HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ALL RIGHT. AND EVEN HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING ANY OF THE QUARTERLY FINANCIALS THAT MR JUDD. THE PLAYGROUND. DON'T SEE ANY ZOOP. I DID OKAY. SOMEONE'S JENNIFER. I'M LOOKING AT THE FUND BALANCE PAGE. WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE PROJECTED EXCESS OF REVENUES. AND THEN THE FUN ASSIGNMENTS. THE BULK OF THAT MONEY FROM THIS YEAR. DIDN'T IT COME FROM HEALTH CARE? SO THE 16.9 MILLION AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE IS THE PROJECTED EXCESS OF REVENUES. AND YES, I BELIEVE IT WAS ABOUT $12 MILLION THAT CAME FROM ARE FIXED CHARGES AND THE BULK OF THAT IS OUR HEALTH INSURANCE ACCOUNT. AND IF I UNDERSTAND CORRECTLY, AND I KNOW YOU CAN'T SPEAK TO THIS, BUT I UNDERSTAND THE COUNTY IS GOING TO SEE THE SAME TYPE OF BENEFIT IN THEIR BUDGET, BASED ON AH PEOPLE GOING TO THE DOCTORS OVER THE PAST YEAR. SO THAT'S I GUESS WHAT I'M TRYING TO CLARIFY. THAT WASN'T A BUDGETING ISSUE. THAT WAS AN EXPECTATION THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN IN THE BUDGET. CORRECT. SO THERE'S ACTUALLY TWO DIFFERENT THINGS AT PLAY HERE, SO THE EXCESSIVE REVENUES OVER EXPENDITURES IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO OUR BUDGET, THE HEALTHCARE SAVINGS THAT WE'RE REALIZING THIS YEAR STILL HAS TO DO WITH THE MEDICARE ADVANTAGE PLAN. IN LARGE PART, SWITCHING THE RETIREES TO THE MEDICARE ADVANTAGE PLAN, SO THAT IS CREATING THE BULK OF THE BUDGET VARIANTS FOR THE CURRENT YEAR. WHAT YOU'RE REFERENCING RELATED TO CLAIMS AND EXPERIENCE OF PEOPLE COMING TO THE DOCTORS. IS RELATED TO OUR. PLAN YEAR ENDING JUNE 30 2021, THE. HEALTHCARE CONSORTIUM, WHICH IS THE COUNTY CONSORTIUM. WE ALL PARTICIPATE IN THAT AND I BELIEVE MOST OF US SAW A SURPLUS AT THE END OF JUNE . 30 2021. WE WERE NOTIFIED OF THAT IN THE FALL. WE RECENTLY REQUESTED THE MONEY. UM FROM THAT RATE STABILIZATION ACCOUNT THAT'S AVAILABLE TO US TO COME TO HCPS. SO MOST OF THE CONSORTIUM DID EXPERIENCE. THE REDUCED NUMBER OF CLAIMS. UM AND ALSO THERE'S OTHER THINGS THAT PLAY THERE REGARDING PHARMACY REBATES AND SO FORTH THAT WERE HIGHER THAN PROJECTED. SO THAT'S A DIFFERENT, UM THANK YOU. TOPIC

[01:30:05]

ARE WE? WE ARE INDEED. UM. SO I HAVE SOME THINGS I'D LIKE TO SHARE IN THE SUPERINTENDENT'S

[F. Superintendent's Report]

AND IT'S STILL POUNDS IN COMPARISON TO WHAT WE'RE SEEING HERE. AROUND THE WORLD, AND I JUST WANTED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I JUST DON'T KNOW HOW YOU KIND OF MOVE FORWARD WITHOUT ACKNOWLEDGING THAT UM SO THAT IS IMPORTANT. AND YOU KNOW, MR HODGES, ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. WE STILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO COME FOR AND TALK AND WELL, EMOTIONS WERE ON DISPLAY A LITTLE BIT THIS EVENING. NO ONE WAS HARMED. AND HOPEFULLY WE'RE ALL STRONGER AND BETTER BECAUSE OF IT, AND SO IT IS. YOU KNOW, IT REALLY IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF WHAT WE DO. SO THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO CAME FORWARD AND SPOKE THIS EVENING. AND WE KNOW WE HAVE MORE TO DISCUSS IN THIS COMMUNITY. I'M STILL TREMENDOUSLY PROUD OF THE SCHOOL SYSTEM. THE WORK OF OUR TEAM, THE WORK THEY DO. AND I'VE NEVER HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH A BETTER TEAM. AND SO I'M ALWAYS SO PROUD OF THIS GROUP AND THANKFUL TO THIS BOARD. SO WITH THAT, LET ME LET ME SAY JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS HAVE BEEN GOING ON IN THE SYSTEM . SOME OF OUR CELEBRATIONS. CONGRATULATIONS TO CAMDEN STEINER. SEE THAT RING FACTORY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, AND HE WON FIRST PLACE IN THE MARYLAND ARBOR DAY POSTER CONTEST. SO CAMDEN SCHOOL RECEIVE A PRIZE OF 15 TREES. GREEN SCHOOL RANKED BACKERS PROUD OF CAMDEN, AND SO ARE WE. UM I ALSO WANT TO THANK THE HARPER EDUCATION FOUNDATION FOR THEIR CONTINUED PARTNERSHIP SPECIFICALLY WITH LITTLES UNIVERSITY. YOU'VE SEEN THAT IF YOU FOLLOW OUR SOCIAL MEDIA THE 200 AVAILABLE COPIES OF THIS MONTH'S BOOK FOR LITTLE SCHOLARS FOR CLAIMED IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS, SO WE THINK THE FOUNDATION FOR OFFERING KNOWS AND WE'RE EXCITED TO SEE THAT THE INTEREST IN THE COMMUNITY WE'RE THRILLED TO GET BOOKS INTO HOME LIBRARIES AND LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING THIS PARTNERSHIP WITH THE FOUNDATION. SO PLEASE KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR FUTURE BOOK RELEASES. ALSO NEED TO THANK OUR TRANSPORTATION STAFF FOR THEIR WORK TO SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS. FEBRUARY 23 2022 WAS NATIONAL SCHOOL BUS DRIVER APPRECIATION DAY, SO I WANT TO PASS ALONG A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO THEM FOR EVERYTHING THEY'VE DONE. THE STOCK MARKET GAME. MARYLAND THE CHAMPIONSHIP IS UNIQUE COMPETITION TO SEE WHICH ONE OF 700 THIRTEEN'S CAN GET THE LARGEST GROWTH MARGIN OVER 10 WEEKS AFTER INVESTING IMAGINARY $100,000 ON THE NEW YORK AMERICAN AND NASDAQ STOCK EXCHANGE STOCK MARKETS. RING FACTORY ONE, THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STATE CHAMPIONSHIP IN JOPPATOWNE WON THE NORTH REGION ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHAMPIONSHIP. BOTH TEAMS WERE SPONSORED BY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION. AND UM, MARCH IS NATIONAL SOCIAL WORKER MONTH AND MARCH SIX THROUGH 12 AS NATIONAL SCHOOL SOCIAL WORK WEEK. SO I WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL OF OUR SCHOOLS, SOCIAL WORKERS. IN ADVANCE OR NEXT MEETING WON'T BE TILL AFTER THAT WEEK IS UP. AND, OF COURSE, OUR COMMUNITY SOCIAL WORK PARTNERS FOR ALL THEY DO FOR THE CHILDREN OF HARFORD COUNTY, SO OUR NEXT MEETING WILL BE MARCH 14TH. WE HAD A COUPLE TOPICS WE'RE GOING TO TOUCH ON TONIGHT. MAINLY I WAS UNFORTUNATE THAT WE HAD TO PUSH THE CONVERSATION ABOUT SCHOOL NAMING. WE HEARD THAT IN SOME OF THE PUBLIC COMMENTS THAT WAS PLANNED FOR THIS EVENING. WE WILL DO THAT. THE NEXT MEETING. AND WE ALSO WANT TO SHARE SOME
