AND THE END OF OUR HIGH SCHOOL CAREERS, BUT IT'S ACTUALLY THE DEFINITION COMMENCEMENT IS THE BEGINNING.

SO EVERYBODY'S MENTIONED GRADUATION AND THAT'S JUST PHENOMENAL. I GOT TO BE AT BEL AIR AND C. MILTON WRIGHT, AND I TRULY ENJOYED IT. GAVEL SUNBURN, BUT THAT'S BETTER THAN WHAT HAPPENED TO RACHEL. SO WE'LL JUST GO THERE. BUT I DO WANT TO SAY THAT'S NOT THE ONLY END OF THE YEAR CELEBRATIONS THAT WE HAD. WE HAD PATRIOT PROGRAMS. WE HAD THE DIFFERENT AWARDS FOR THE DIFFERENT PROGRAMS AT THE SCHOOLS, THE MATH AND SCIENCE ACADEMY. I WAS ABLE TO GO THERE, SO THERE'S ALL KINDS OF DIFFERENT CELEBRATIONS AND END OF YOUR ACTIVITIES GOING ON. AND OF COURSE, JUST THE JOY THAT CHILDREN HAVE AT THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR THAT THEY GET TO BE OFF FOR SUMMER, BREAKING THAT, AND, UM ALL THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE WORKED SO HARD. TO MAKE THIS SCHOOL YEAR BASIC SUCCESSFUL BECAUSE I KNOW IT HASN'T BEEN EASY AND I KNOW THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE THERE ARE PEOPLE UPSET THAT WE HAD MASSIVE PEOPLE UPSET THAT WE TOOK THE MASK. MASKS OFF. THERE HAS BEEN SO MUCH GOING ON THIS YEAR AND I HOPE THAT WE CAN MOVE FORWARD AND WORK TOGETHER TO CONTINUE TO MAKE THIS SCHOOL SYSTEM. GREAT. SO THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT EVOLVED ON THANK YOU.

OKAY SO, YES. LET ME JUST SHARE WITH ANYBODY WHO WASN'T AWARE I WAS THE ONE AT THE NORTH HARFORD GRADUATION GETTING RAINED UPON, BUT I HAD A REALLY BIG HAT SO I COULD STILL SEE AND APPARENTLY THE W B A L NEWS HELICOPTER COULD ALSO SEE ME FROM WHEREVER THEY WERE REPORTING ON THE NORTH HARFORD GRADUATION IN THE RAIN. SO THAT WAS GREAT. AND I GOT REALLY, REALLY WET. UM BUT IT WAS VERY FUN, AND I HAVE TO SAY ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WAS GOING TO DOLL THAT CROWD. THE KIDS WERE EXCITED THAT PARENTS AND FAMILIES THAT WERE THERE WERE EXCITED. UM THERE'S SO MANY EXCITING THINGS ABOUT GRADUATION AND, YES, ABSOLUTELY. THE VALEDICTORIANS IN THE CLASS PRESIDENTS ARE GREAT, AND THE KIDS WHO WIN. I SWEAR, I THINK OF A JILLION DOLLARS IN

[00:20:02]

SCHOLARSHIP MONEY. I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH AND I HOPE SOMEBODY IN SOME OFFICE KEEPS TRACK OF HOW MUCH MONEY ARE GRADUATES HAVE EARNED, BUT THERE WAS A LOT OF SCHOLARSHIP MONEY GIVEN OUT TO HARTFORD COUNTY STUDENTS THIS YEAR. UM AND IN A COUPLE OF SCHOOLS. I KNOW IT'S MORE THAN THEY'VE EVER SEEN, AND THAT'S JUST IN LIGHT OF HOW ROCKY THERE. THIS GROUP OF SENIORS.

TIME IN HIGH SCHOOL HAS BEEN. I THINK THAT'S JUST REMARKABLE. UM BUT I ALSO WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT AND CELEBRATE. THE KIDS WHO WERE ABLE TO PICK UP AND MOVE ON THE KIDS WHO WERE NOT NUMBER ONE OR NUMBER TWO OR IN THE TOP 10. BUT WHO MADE IT THROUGH AND IN SOME OF THEIR PARENTS CASES JUST GUTTED IT OUT THE WHOLE WAY, WHO MAYBE AREN'T GOING TO A FOUR YEAR UNIVERSITY WHO ARE GOING TO VOTE TECH SCHOOL? AND WHO ARE GOING TO COMMUNITY COLLEGE AND WHO ARE WORKING ON JUST GETTING A JOB AFTER SCHOOL OR AFTER. WELL, I GUESS AFTER SCHOOL, AND NOW THE SCHOOL'S OUT. UM, FOR THEM. I THINK THAT NEEDS TO BE CELEBRATED AS WELL. UM BECAUSE IT'S AN IMPORTANT IT'S AN IMPORTANT ACHIEVEMENT. NO MATTER HOW YOU APPROACHED IT, AND HOW YOU GOT THROUGH IT. YOU GOT THROUGH IT, AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT NEEDS TO BE CELEBRATED. UM I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED. I DIDN'T GET TO GO TO THE FUTURE LENGTH GRADUATION AND THE JOHN ARCHER GRADUATION BECAUSE THAT IS MY YEARLY THING, BUT. HOW TO SHOW MR GAYER. I WAS PRODUCING MY FIRST MUSICAL AND I COULDN'T BE SO I APOLOGIZE. I REALLY WANTED TO BE I WANT TO THANK ME FOR ALL OF HER SERVICE TO OUR BOARD AND FOR REALLY SPEAKING OUT AND BEING A VOICE FOR OUR STUDENTS, UM I THINK YOU HAVE SERIOUSLY.

[B. Public Comments]

I'M GOING TO I'M SURE I'M FORGETTING SOMETHING. I AM GOING TO MOVE ON TO HEARING OTHER PEOPLE'S VOICES, UM, PUBLIC COMMENTS IN PERSON. SPEAKERS WILL PROCEED FIRST, THEY WILL BE CALLED BY THE WORD SECRETARY. REMOTE SPEAKERS WILL PROCEED NEXT. THEY WILL BE ADMITTED TO THE MEETING BY AN HTTPS STAFF MEMBER WHEN IT IS THEIR TURN TO SPEAK. OUR SPEAKERS WILL RECEIVE THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK DUE TO THE NUMBER OF REGISTERED SPEAKERS. 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 AND BECAUSE I HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO SO, I'M ALSO GOING TO REMIND YOU THAT OUR NOTICE RELATING TO PUBLIC COMMENT ALSO STATES THAT DISPARAGING COMMENTS, PERSONAL ATTACKS AND INFLAMMATORY REMARKS ABOUT SPECIFIC SCHOOLS OR PERSONNEL ARE NOT PERMITTED. SPEAKERS WHO ENGAGE IN THESE COMMENTS WILL BE REMINDED OF THE RULES AND THE BORDER RESERVES THE RIGHT TERM OF THE SPEAKER. WITH THAT, MISS RALLO, PLEASE.

STARTER LIST. THIS EVENING. WE HAVE LAUREL HAN, FOLLOWED BY NO. ONE. MYERS. HELLO MY NAME IS LAUREL HAN AND I'M A SOPHOMORE FALLSTON HIGH SCHOOL. I'M HERE TODAY TO ADDRESS THE BOARD MEMBERS IN THE COMMUNITY ABOUT A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE THAT UNFORTUNATELY HAS BECOME ALL TOO FAMILIAR. I'M HERE TO IMPLORE THE BOARD TO DO SOME THINGS THAT WE DO NOT HEAR OF OUR HARFORD COUNTY SCHOOLS IN THE NEWS HEADLINES CONNECTED TO YET ANOTHER SHOOTING OR SOME OTHER TYPE OF VIOLENCE. I'M HERE TO PLEAD WITH THE BOARD TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THE STUDENTS OF HARFORD COUNTY AS WELL AS AS WELL AS SAY THAT WE CAN PREVENT ACTS OF VIOLENCE IN AND AROUND OUR SCHOOLS. I'M NOT HERE TO MAKE A POLITICAL STATEMENT AMOUNT GUNS OR EVEN ADVOCATING THAT GUNS ARE THE ONLY REASON FOR ALL THE YOUNG, INNOCENT LIVES THAT HAVE BEEN LOST TO SCHOOL VIOLENCE. I BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE MANY FACTORS. THAT CONTRIBUTE TO SHOOTINGS AND OTHER ACTS OF VIOLENCE, INCLUDING MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES, SOCIAL MEDIA BULLYING AND SO MUCH MORE. SCHOOLS SHOULD BE A SAFE PLACE FOR LEARNING AND SHOULD PROVIDE A POSITIVE AND INCLUSIVE ATMOSPHERE FOR ALL STUDENTS. STATISTICS SHOW THAT SCHOOL VIOLENCE, ESPECIALLY SCHOOL GUN VIOLENCE IS ALMOST COMPLETELY PREVENTABLE. AND WE NEED TO TAKE MEANINGFUL ACTION NOW TO PROTECT OUR SCHOOLS. WE NEED TO NOT ONLY IMPLEMENT STRONGER SECURITY MEASURES, BUT WE NEED TO ALSO CHANGE THE CULTURE IN OUR SCHOOLS TO ESTABLISH A MORE POSITIVE AND INCLUSIVE ENVIRONMENT FOR ALL OF OUR STUDENTS AND STAFF. DETERRENTS SUCH AS INSTALLING METAL DETECTORS, INCREASING POLICE IN SORO PRESENCE AND INCREASING ENTRY AND EXIT SECURITY MEASURES WILL NOT ONLY PROTECT THAT THREATS FROM WITHIN THE SCHOOL, BUT THEY CAN PREVENT INDIVIDUALS FROM OUTSIDE THE SCHOOL FROM COMMITTING VIOLENT ACTS ON OR NEAR SCHOOL GROUNDS.

TO TRY AND CHANGE THE CULTURE IN OUR SCHOOLS. THERE ARE PROGRAMS AVAILABLE TO HELP TRAIN STUDENTS TO BE MORE SOCIALLY INCLUSIVE AND MORE CONNECTED TO EACH OTHER, WHICH EMPOWERS STUDENTS TO END SOCIAL ISOLATION. THERE ARE ALSO PROGRAMS AVAILABLE TO HELP STUDENTS AND FACULTY TO RECOGNIZE THE WARNING SIGNS OF SOMEONE AT RISK OF HURTING THEMSELVES OR OTHERS AND HOW TO SAY SOMETHING TO A TRUSTED ADULT TO GET HELP. I THINK YOU WILL FIND THAT THERE ARE MANY STUDENTS, FACULTY AND ADMINISTRATORS WHO LIKE ME. HAVE SO MANY GREAT IDEAS FOR HOW WE CAN MAKE OUR SCHOOLS SAFER. SOME REQUESTING THAT THE BOARD ESTABLISHED A SCHOOL SAFETY COMMITTEE COMPOSED OF STUDENTS, FACULTY ADMINISTRATORS AND EVEN PARENTS TO HELP THE BOARD

[00:25:04]

ESTABLISHED AND IMPLEMENT PLANS FOR HTTPS TO PREVENT AND PROTECT OUR COMMUNITY AGAINST SCHOOL VIOLENCE. I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE BOARD AND COMMITTEE FOR YOUR TIME AND ALLOWING ME TO VOICE MY CONCERNS AND IDEAS, AND I REALLY HOPE THE BOARD SERIOUSLY CAN CONSIDERS EVERYTHING I'VE SAID THIS EVENING. THANK YOU. YEAH. IT'S GOING RIGHT? LADIES GENTLEMEN, AND EVERYONE IN BETWEEN. THANK YOU FOR COMING OUT ON THIS WONDERFUL MONTH OF PRIDE AS YOU'VE SEEN. WE HAVE A LOT TO DISCUSS. BEING LGBT IS A MATTER OF IDENTITY AND THE VALIDITY OF SOMEONE'S EXISTENCE SHOULD NOT STILL BE UP FOR DEBATE. I SEE SO MANY PARENTS COME TO THESE MEETINGS, FURIOUS READING OFF THE SUICIDE HOTLINE NUMBER AND MENTIONING HOW THE LGBTQ PLUS DISCUSSION IS HURTING STUDENTS. AND I'D JUST LIKE TO SAY AS YOUR CHILDREN. WE SEE YOU ARE PARENTS. WE SEE WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY OR UPSET? WE HEAR YOUR GRIEVANCES AND WE SOAK UP YOUR RELIEFS FROM THE MOMENT YOU TAKE US HOME UNTIL WE LEAVE. YOU ARE GUIDING LIGHTS THROUGH THE WORLD AND INTO ADULTHOOD. WHEN WE HEAR WENT THAT WE THAT WHAT WE ARE DISAPPOINTS AND DISCUSSED. YOU DISCUSSED YOU TO THE POINT OF YOU WANTING TO RIOT IN THIS OWNERS. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO NOT INTERNALIZE THAT. I HAVE BEEN HOSPITALIZED BEFORE. AND THE AMOUNT OF LGBTQ PLUS PATIENTS I SAW THERE EVERY SINGLE TIME THAT FELT ASHAMED AND HEATED THEMSELVES FOR THEIR VERY EXISTENCE BECAUSE THEY FELT THAT THEY WERE BROKEN, SINFUL, SHAMEFUL AND I'VE BEEN TRYING TO HURT THEMSELVES AS A RESULT WOULD BLOW YOUR MIND. WE TAKE THIS INTERNALIZED SHAME WITH US INTO ADULTHOOD. AT MY COLLEGE. I HAVE HEARD FAR TOO MANY PEOPLE SAY IF MY PARENTS KNEW WHO I WAS, THEY WOULDN'T LOVE ME.

HEARING THAT NEVER BECOMES ANY LESS HEARTBREAKING AND TIME AND TIME AGAIN. I COULD ONLY SIT THERE AND HUG THEM AS I HEARD THEIR VOICES BREAK AND WATCH THE TEARS FILL UP THEIR EYES AS THEY PREPARED TO GO HOME AND BOX THEMSELVES UP TO SEE THEIR PARENTS TERRIFIED. IT WOULD BE THE LAST TIME THEY WOULD BE ALLOWED TO FORCING YOUR CHILD TO CHOOSE BETWEEN LOVING AND EMBRACING THEMSELVES OR YOUR LOVE. IT'S NOT RIGHT AND IT'S NOT FAIR. I HAD THE LUXURY OF ACCEPTING PARENTS. I HAVE FRIENDS THAT DON'T OR DIDN'T AND A LOT OF THE CHILDREN IN THIS COUNTY I PRAY FOR THEM. ESTEEMED MEMORIES OF THE BOARD. FOR THE SAKE OF THIS COUNTY, THE COUNTRY AND THE CHILDREN. ALL OF THESE PEOPLE CLAIM TO LOVE UNCONDITIONALLY. WE CANNOT ALLOW THIS ABUSE TO CONTINUE. DO WHAT'S RIGHT IN A LAB PRIOR TO BE EXPRESSED THEIR SCHOOLS.

THANK YOU. GOOD NIGHT AND HAPPY PRIDE MONTH. NEXT WE HAVE BRIAN CHAND FOLLOWED. BY TINA GRAPH.

GREETINGS TO EVERYONE. GOOD TO SEE YOU ALL. SO. UM AS DR BAUER MENTIONED IN HIS COMMENT BEFORE THE MEETING AND THE MEETING INTRODUCTION I UNDERSTAND IT'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF PEOPLE HERE TO TALK ABOUT PRIDE MONTH AND THE ISSUE. OF BEING NON HETEROSEXUAL IN GENERAL. AND OBVIOUSLY THIS COMES FROM AN INCIDENT RECENTLY, WHICH I'M SURE EVERYONE IS AWARE OF. WHERE A TEACHER WAS GIVEN A GIFT PRIDE FLAG. BY A STUDENT. AND AS A RESULT. FROM PEOPLE WHO DON'T GO TO THE SCHOOL AND I HAVE KIDS IN THE SCHOOL. AND HAVE NO OTHER BETTER THINGS TO DO DECIDED TO HARASS AND DOCKS AND CYBER BULLY THIS TEACHER TEACHER WHO HAS BEEN IN OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM FOR 20 YEARS MORE THAN 20 YEARS, ACTUALLY. A TEACHER WHO HAS HELPED CATALYST STUDENTS.

ACHIEVE THEIR FULL POTENTIAL. AND MOST PEOPLE. IN FACT, I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYONE SAY SINGLE BAD THING ABOUT HER. SO AND PREPARING THE COUNTRY THIS MEANING I. WELL I WAS PREPARED TO, YOU KNOW, LIST OFF A BUNCH OF STATISTICS ABOUT HOW YOU KNOW THEY'RE INSTANCES OF HOMOSEXUAL PAIRINGS IN NATURE AND BIOLOGY, AND EVEN IN MATTERS OF FAITH. YOU KNOW I HAVE MYSELF. AND MYSELF. FOLLOW. AH! MONEY FROM REALLY I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT RELIGION YOU CALL IT.

GRANDFATHER OF CHRIST. AND SO WAS MY SISTER. AND INTERESTING THING IS THAT WHEN MY SISTER CAME OUT. AND SHE'S A YEAR OLDER THAN ME, RIGHT? AND YET SHE COULD NOT TAKE. THE AMOUNT OF HATRED AND VIOLENCE ON THE VERY PEOPLE WHO USED TO CALL HER FAMILY USED TO CALL HER HER

[00:30:02]

CHURCH, FAMILY OR FRIENDS OR TEACHERS. NOT ALL OF THEM, OF COURSE, BUT A SELECT FEW HAVE DECIDED THAT JUST BECAUSE THEIR PASTOR TOLD THEM. BEING GAY IS A SIN. BECAUSE HE HAD A PERSONAL VENDETTA AGAINST GAY PEOPLE. IT REALLY DISCUSSED ME BECAUSE I WAS RAISED, OF COURSE, AND MY FAITH TO SAY THAT EVERYONE SHOULD BE LOVED. THAT, OF COURSE , EVEN IF YOU THINK THAT BEING HOMOSEXUAL IS A SIN THAT NO ONE SIN IS WORSE THAN ANYONE ELSE'S , AND THAT EVERYONE DESERVES LOVE. BUT EVEN OUTSIDE OF A MATTER OF RELIGION AND FAITH, IT SHOULD NOT TAKE. PEOPLE TO IT'S NOT TAKE A MOVEMENT AND HOURS AND DAYS UPON YEARS OF EFFORT JUST TO TELL PEOPLE THAT THEY SHOULD ALLOW OTHER PEOPLE TO BE WHO THEY ARE. AND SO I KNOW THAT THE BOARD ALREADY UNDERSTAND IT.

SO I'M GOING TO SPEAK TO EVERYONE RIGHT NOW. BEING GAY. IT'S NOT A SIN. AND YOU NEED TO STOP. HATING PEOPLE ARE GAY AND STOP HITTING STUDENTS WHO ARE A GAY BECAUSE YOUR HATRED ONLY HURTS. YEAH.

FIRST I JUST WANTED TO THANK EVERYONE THAT HELPED AND ATTENDED OUR GRADUATION LAST WEEK. I HAD SO MANY COMPLIMENTS FROM OUR PARENTS WHO ARE REALLY EXCITED TO BE THERE AND BE IN PERSON. I DON'T THINK EVERYONE REALIZES HOW MUCH GOODS UNDER GRADUATION. IT'S A LOT WHEN A PARENT CALLS MY SCHOOL TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THEIR STUDENT BEING BULLIED OR HARASSED CONFIDENTLY TELL THEM THAT HCPS HAS A ZERO TOLERANCE FOR BULLYING POLICY. IF THE SITUATION IS BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION, WELL, TONIGHT, I'M BRINGING A SITUATION TO YOUR ATTENTION. LAST WEEK, THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS SHARED A THREE SECOND CLIP OF A FALLSTON MIDDLE SCHOOL TEACHER WAVING A RAINBOW FLAG. IT WAS SHARED 152 TIMES AND VIEWED ALMOST 18,000 TIMES.

THE CAPTION READS, AND I QUOTE FALLSTON MIDDLE SCHOOL HEALTH TEACHER PARADING THE HALLS IN THE MORNING WITH HER PRIDE FLAG. POLITICAL AND RELIGIOUS VIEWS ARE PERMITTED UNLESS THEY ARE RIGHT WING OR CHRISTIANITY. WAKE UP PEOPLE. THE COMMENTS WERE VILE AND THREATENING, ATTACKING HER PERSONALLY AND PROFESSIONALLY. THE COMMENTS ON THE HCPS SITE, WHERE EQUALLY AS VULGAR I'M HOPEFUL THAT NONE OF OUR STUDENTS SAW THE AMOUNT OF HATRED, BIGOTRY AND HOMOPHOBIA DISPLAYED BY THEIR PARENTS. IF A STUDENT INITIATED THIS TYPE OF AN ATTACK, THERE WOULD BE PUBLIC OUTCRIES FOR SUSPENSION AND IT WOULD BE WARRANTED. WITH THE ADOPTED POSTED IT NEGLECTED TO SAY WAS THAT THE TEACHER WAS TAPED WITHOUT CONSENT, AND THERE WAS NO CONTEXT PROVIDED. I ALSO DON'T THINK THE POSTER REALIZED THE EMAIL THAT HCPS EMPLOYEES RECEIVED LAST WEEK ASKING US TO SEND IN ANY PHOTOGRAPHS HIGHLIGHTING A CULTURAL ORGANIZATIONAL HOLIDAY, INCLUDING PRIDE. JUDGING FROM HER CAPTION. I'M CERTAIN THAT SHE WAS NOT PUSHING THIS ON SOCIAL MEDIA TO CELEBRATE PRIDE MONTH. WE'VE SPOKEN ENDLESSLY ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH AND SUICIDE IDEATIONS OVER THE PAST YEAR AT BOARDING COUNCIL MEETINGS SPECIFIC TO OUR STUDENTS. WHEN WILL YOU CONSIDER THE STAFF AS WELL? PEOPLE ARE ALSO QUICK TO FORGET THAT OUR LGBTQ STUDENTS ARE THREE TIMES AS LIKELY TO COMMIT SUICIDE AS THEIR HETERO FRIEND, BUT WE ONLY HEAR FROM THESE FOLKS WHEN IT FITS THEIR AGENDA. PARENTS ARE CERTAINLY ENTITLED TO THEIR OWN OPINIONS ON HOMOSEXUALITY, AND I RESPECT THEM, BUT I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT THERE IS NO INDOCTRINATION GOING ON IN OUR SCHOOLS. MY GOAL FOR YOUR STUDENTS IS A QUALITY EDUCATION WHERE THEY ALSO FEEL SAFE. I CANNOT MAKE YOUR CHILD GAY NO MORE THAN I CAN MAKE THEM GET TO SCHOOL ON TIME. OUR POLICY FOR STUDENTS, STATES, BULLYING, HARASSMENT AND INTIMIDATION OR SERIOUS AND WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. BULLYING AND HARASSMENT, INCLUDING ANY INTENTIONAL CONDUCT, INCLUDING VERBAL, PHYSICAL OR WRITTEN, CONDUCT OR AN INTENTIONAL COMMUNICATION THAT CREATES HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT. AND BY SUBSTANTIALLY INTERFERING WITH A STUDENT EDUCATIONAL BENEFITS, OPPORTUNITIES OR PERFORMANCE OR THE STUDENTS PHYSICAL OR PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL BEING. PLEASE REVISE THIS POLICY IMMEDIATELY TO INCLUDE YOUR TEACHERS, STAFF AND BOARD MEMBERS. THANK YOU.

YEAH. NEXT WE HAVE NO NEED SHAKA , FOLLOWED BY BRIANA BANGOR. HI. MY NAME IS NORI JACK. PUBLIC EDUCATION IS FAILING. HARTFORD COUNTY STUDENTS, STUDENTS AND PARENTS. AS GENERATIONS MOVE ON FROM PUBLIC SCHOOLS. MORE AND MORE AMERICANS ARE GROWING UNAWARE OF OUR COUNTRY'S ACCOMPLISHMENTS, HISTORY AND CIVIC TRADITIONS. AND AS DR BEN CARSON SAID, AN EDUCATED CITIZENS ROUTE CITIZENRY IS ESSENTIAL TO GOVERNMENT. WE ARE ASKING FOR THE RESTORATION OF A HEALTHY NON POLITICAL EDUCATION FOR STUDENTS IN HARTFORD COUNTY. IN RECENT YEARS. GENDER THEORY

[00:35:04]

ACTIVISTS LIKE OUR MSD ARE TURNING MARYLAND'S EDUCATION SYSTEM IN THE TOOL TO TEACH OUR KIDDOS IN AN EFFORT TO PROMOTE GENDER IDEOLOGY. THE CHILDREN ARE TO BE TAUGHT FROM KINDERGARTEN ON THAT GENDER IS MALLEABLE AND DISCONNECTED FROM ONE'S BIOLOGICAL SEX. WORDS SUCH AS TRANSGENDER, GENDER, DYSTOPIA , GENDER, IDENTITY, GENDER NONCONFORMING GENDER FLUID. AND PANTS, SEXUAL WILL BE MAKING THEIR WAY INTO OUR CLASSROOMS. OVER THERE ALREADY THERE. THIS MUST STOP. PEOPLE WOULD MARXIST IDEOLOGIES KNOW THE IMPORTANCE OF INFLUENCING CHILDREN EARLY ON. LENIN HIMSELF SAID. GIVEN ME FOUR YEARS TO TEACH CHILDREN AND THE SEED STONE WILL NEVER BE UPROOTED. IS THIS THE GOAL OF THE MSD CURRICULUM? ON ANOTHER SUBJECT. OUR NATION WAS TORN APART BY THE CIVIL WAR. WE SHOULD BE PROUD OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAD THE COURAGE AND MORALITY TO SACRIFICE EVERYTHING TO DEFEAT SLAVERY. WE SHOULD NOT ALTER FACTS OR TELL STUDENTS THAT ONE RACE ARE THE OPPRESSORS AND ANOTHER RACE ARE THE VICTIMS. THE STUDENTS ARE ALREADY BEHIND IN MATH, READING , SCIENCE, HISTORY AND WRITING. SINCE WE KEPT THEM OUT OF SCHOOLS FOR MORE THAN A YEAR. WE NEED TO CONCENTRATE ON THE BASICS AND NOT ON THIS OTHER POLITICAL CORRECT IDEOLOGY. FINALLY THE OBSESSION ACROSS THIS COUNTRY WITH CORRECT PRONOUNS IS ABSURD. STUDENTS ARE BEING REPRIMANDED FOR NOT USING THE PRONOUN ANOTHER STUDENTS WANT TO BE CALLED IF STUDENTS HAVE TO MONITOR EVERY WORD, THEY SAY, FOR FEAR OF CONSEQUENCES, AS STATED BY DR BEN CARSON, WE ARE NOT IN A FREE SPEECH ENVIRONMENT. WHICH BY THE WAY IS GUARANTEED BY THE CONSTITUTION IN OUR FIRST AMENDMENT. YEAH OKAY. I LOVE YOU FOREVER. I LIKE YOU FOR ALWAYS. AS LONG AS I'M LIVING MY BABY, YOU'LL BE ANYBODY RECOGNIZE THOSE LINES? IT'S A FROM A BOOK THAT I READ TO MY CHILDREN SO OFTEN WHEN THEY WERE LITTLE BY ROBERT MUNCH. I READ A LOT OF BOOKS TO MY THREE KIDS. IN FACT, I HOME SCHOOLED THEM FOR 10 PLUS YEARS.

COMING FROM WHAT MOST WOULD CATEGORIZE A CONSERVATIVE CHRISTIAN HOME. I WANTED TO CONTROL THE MESSAGES MY CHILDREN RECEIVED ABOUT THEMSELVES, THE WORLD THEIR PLACE AND PURPOSE IN THE WORLD. A PART OF THE MESSAGING MY HUSBAND AND I COMMUNICATED TO OUR KIDS WAS THAT GOD CREATED MAN AND WOMAN. TWO DISTINCT GENDERS. MARRIAGE WAS ORDAINED TO BE BETWEEN ONE MAN, ONE WOMAN, AND THIS WAS ALL THAT WAS EVER PRESENTED TO MY KIDS. THIS WAS THEIR NORM. THIS WAS THE EXPECTATION AND IT WAS PERPETUATED BY ABSOLUTELY EVERYONE IN THEIR WORLD. IF ANYONE WAS INDOCTRINATED, IT WAS MY CHILDREN. AND YET, AS OF TODAY, 2 17 YEAR OLD TWIN BOYS AND A 15 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. I HAVE ONE SON THAT IDENTIFIES AS GAY ONE AS NON BINARY QUEER. HOW DID I GET THERE? HOW DID MY FAMILY MY KIDS GET THERE? I'LL TELL YOU THIS. IT WASN'T A PUBLIC SCHOOL INDOCTRINATING THEM. THERE IS A PREVAILING POINT OF VIEW THAT OUR SCHOOLS HAVE AN AGENDA TO INDOCTRINATE OUR CHILDREN WITH LIES FROM THE PIT OF HELL TO DRAW THEM AWAY FROM GOD. AND ALL THAT IS HOLY IT'S NOT TRUE. THE TIME CAME WHEN MY CHILDREN DECIDED TO GO TO SCHOOL. MY HUSBAND AND I BOTH AGREED THAT IT WAS TIME MY SON, ONE OF MY SONS WENT IN AS A FRESHMAN. AND IN HIS FIRST YEAR AT PUBLIC SCHOOL, THE ONLY CLUB YOU WANTED TO JOIN WAS THE GAY AND STRAIGHT ALLIANCE, KNOWN AS GSC. MY HUSBAND AND I HAD ALREADY BEEN WALKING ALONGSIDE OF HIM FOR QUITE SOME TIME IN HIS DISCOVERY THAT HE WAS GAY, SO HIS PARTY'S PARTICIPATION IN THE CLUB WAS NOT SOME SORT OF DECLARATION TO HIMSELF OR TO US. OR OTHERS THAT HE WAS GAY. BUT AT THE TIME, I FEARED THAT JOINING THE CLUB WOULD ONLY FURTHER ENTRENCHED MY SON INTO WHAT I VIEWED AT THE TIME AS A SINFUL CHOICE. YEARS LATER, HOWEVER, I NOW SEE THE REALITY OF WHAT THIS CLUB DID AND DIDN'T DO. IT DID NOT FURTHER ENTRENCH MY SON IN HIS GAYNESS. NOTHING COULD DO THIS JUST LIKE I COULD NOT INDOCTRINATE THE GAY OUT OF MY SON. THE G S A COULD NOT FURTHER PERPETUATE MY SON'S GAYNESS. I NOW SIMPLY SEE THAT AS MISINFORMED POINT OF VIEW.

IT'S JUST NOT HOW IT WORKS. WHAT GSA DID DO FOR MY SON. IS IT PROVIDED A SAFE SPACE FOR HIM? IT GAVE HIM PEOPLE HE COULD TRUST WOULDN'T MAKE FUN OF HIM. IT PROVIDED AN ADULT, THE TEACHER SPONSOR OF THE CLUB, WHO HE KNEW WOULD NEVER HOLD HIS GAYNESS OVER HIM IN ANY DETRIMENTAL WAY. AND YOU KNOW WHAT? MY SON REALLY, REALLY NEEDED THAT SUPPORT AT THE TIME

[00:40:03]

IN HIS LIFE. I'M BEYOND GRATEFUL BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF MY SON WOULD BE ALIVE TODAY. HOW DO YOU NOT HAD THAT SUPPORT? THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE OF FAITH IN THIS COUNTY FIRMLY BELIEVE THEY'RE BEING OPPRESSED AND THAT THEIR EXPRESSIONS OF FAITH ARE BEING PERSECUTED. THE REALITY IS THAT THOSE WHO HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN OPPRESSED FOR MOST OF HISTORY THAT WAS ALIGNED WITH THE LGBT COMMUNITY. THEY'RE FINALLY BEING GRANTED A PLACE AT THE TABLE. IT'S UNCOMFORTABLE FOR SOME PEOPLE THINK, BUT MAKE NO DATE. NOT YOU ARE NOT. OH YEAH. THANK YOU. OKAY. NEXT WE HAVE RANDY GEIR, FOLLOWED BY SUSIE SCOTT. THANK YOU, DOCTOR BOLSON, PRESIDENT GAUTIER BOARD MEMBERS AND CENTRAL LEADERSHIP. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO MAY NOT KNOW I AM RANDY GEIR PRINCIPAL JOHN ARCHER SCHOOL. AS YOU ALL ARE AWARE. ON MARCH 14TH. THE DECISION WAS MADE TO RENAME OUR JOHN ARCHER SCHOOL. WELL, EVERY MEMBER OF MY SCHOOL COMMUNITY MAY NOT FULLY AGREE WITH THAT DECISION. WE HAVE EMBRACED IT. WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT THE FUTURE OF JOHN ARCHER AND WHAT THE NEW NAME AND NEW BUILDING WILL BRING TO THE STUDENTS WITH SEVERE AND PROFOUND DISABILITIES AND THEIR FAMILIES THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY. UPON READING THE AGENDA FOR THIS EVENING'S BOARD MEETING, I NOTICED JOHN ARCHER WAS BACK ON THE AGENDA, SPECIFICALLY DISCUSSION AND DECISION ON PROPOSED NAME FOR JOHN ARCHER SCHOOL. AS I REPRESENT THE JOHN ARCHER STAFF, STUDENTS, FAMILIES AND FULL COMMUNITY, I HUMBLY ASK TO POSTPONE THIS DECISION AND ALLOW FOR MORE CONVERSATION AND DIALOGUE BETWEEN OUR SCHOOL COMMUNITY. AND THIS DISTINGUISHED BOARD. FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT VISITED JOHN ARCHER SCHOOL. I WELCOME YOU TO JOIN US FOR A DAY OR EVEN AN HOUR TO UNDERSTAND THE STRENGTH OF OUR COMMUNITY. OUR JOHN ARCHER SCHOOL IS ABOUT ACCEPTANCE, TOLERANCE, PATIENCE, RESPECTING INDIVIDUAL ATTRIBUTES, CELEBRATION OF DIFFERENCES AND THE IMPORTANCE OF FAMILY AND COMMUNITY. IT IS ABSOLUTELY IMPERATIVE THAT A SCHOOL NAME MATCH THE SPIRIT OF OUR SCHOOL AND THE LEGACY THAT STUDENTS, STAFF AND FAMILIES HAVE BUILT FOR 50 YEARS. IF YOU HAVE NAMES TO CONSIDER AS THE NEW NAME OF JOHN ARCHER SCHOOL, I SINCERELY ASKED FOR YOU TO ALLOW OUR SCHOOL FACULTY STUDENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES THE COURTESY TO HEAR THOSE NAMES. PROCESS THOSE NAMES AND OFFER THOUGHTS AS TO WHICH WOULD BE MOST APPROPRIATE.

I KNOW THIS IS A DIFFICULT DECISION, AND I RESPECT YOUR LEADERSHIP AND AUTHORITY. PLEASE CONSIDER MY REQUEST. AS THE NEW NAME OF THIS BUILDING MUST BE A BRAND THAT ALL MEMBERS OF OUR SCHOOL COMMUNITY CAN STAND BEHIND AND SUPPORT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

GOOD EVENING, DR BOLSON AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. EFFORTS TO PURGE CHRISTIANITY FROM THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM HAVE BEEN HAPPENING SINCE BEFORE I WAS BORN. THE SUPREME COURT CASE OF ANGLE VERSUS THE TALLY REMOVED PRAYER FROM THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN 1962 AND IN 1963, THE SUPREME COURT RULED TO REMOVE MANDATORY BIBLE READING FROM THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. THIS MARKED THE BEGINNING OF NUMEROUS CASES THAT CREATED A CLEAR PRECEDENT FOR REMOVING ELEMENTS OF RELIGION FROM SCHOOLS. IN THESE AND OTHER DECISIONS. THE COURT HAS REPEATEDLY STRESSED THAT THE CONSTITUTION PROHIBITS PUBLIC SCHOOLS FROM INDOCTRINATING CHILDREN IN RELIGION. IN THE 2005 LEGAL CASE, CITIZENS FOR A RESPONSIBLE CURRICULUM VERSUS MONTGOMERY COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS. MARYLAND CITIZENS GROUPS SUCCESSFULLY CHALLENGED TO HELP EDUCATION CURRICULUM THAT INCLUDED DISCUSSION OF SEXUAL ORIENTATION. ORDINARILY OPPONENTS OF HOMOSEXUALITY COULD NOT CONFIDENTLY SITE THE ESTABLISHMENT CLAUSE AS THE BASIS FOR A COMPLAINT BECAUSE THE CURRICULUM TYPICALLY WOULD NOT ADVANCE A PARTICULAR RELIGIOUS PERSPECTIVE. HOWEVER THE MONTGOMERY COUNTY CURRICULUM AND CREW INCLUDED MATERIALS AND TEACHER GUIDES THAT DISPARAGE SOME RELIGIOUS TEACHINGS ON HOMOSEXUALITY AS THEOLOGICALLY FLAWED. AND CONTRAST, ID THESE TEACHINGS WITH WHAT THE GUIDE PORTRAYED AS THE MORE ACCEPTABLE AND TOLERANT VIEWS OF SOME OTHER FAITHS. THE DISTRICT COURT CONCLUDED THAT THE CURRICULUM HAD BOTH THE PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF ADVANCING CERTAIN FAITHS WHILE DENIGRATING THE BELIEFS OF OTHERS. THE COUNTY WAS FORCED TO REWORK. WE WRITE THEIR MATERIALS TO EXCLUDE ANY REFERENCE TO THE VIEWS OF PARTICULAR FAITHS. FAST FORWARD TO 2022 WHEN WE FIND OURSELVES IN THE ERA OF A NEW RELIGIOUS MOVEMENT ATTEMPTING TO

[00:45:04]

SET UP CAMP IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM. THE RELIGION OF WOKENESS IS HAVING ITS MOMENT AND IS ATTEMPTING TO CAPTURE THE HEARTS AND MINDS OF OUR PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS. THE CATECHISM OF WOKE, ADHERENCE IS FOUND IN THEIR WORSHIP, DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION. IT IS IMPERATIVE TO THE ZEALOTS. THE GENDER IDEOLOGY BEFORE WASTED ON CHILDREN FROM PRE K ONWARD THE GOAL OF THIS RELIGIOUS RELIGION MASQUERADING AS CURRICULUM IS THE FUNDAMENTAL TRANSFORMATION OF PUBLIC EDUCATION. WE ARE TOLD BY THIS BOARD THAT THE MOST PRESSING ISSUE FACING OUR CHILDREN TODAY IS SYSTEMIC RACISM. THE PARENTS OF THIS COMMUNITY BEG TO DIFFER. THE MOST PRESSING ISSUE FACING THIS BOARD OF EDUCATION. IS THE FACT THAT OUR STUDENTS ARE NOT BEING PROPERLY INSTRUCTED IN READING, WRITING, MATH, SCIENCE AND HISTORY. YOU'RE WOKE, MARXIST INDOCTRINATION IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE VALUES OF AMERICANS AND THE PEOPLE OF THIS COMMUNITY. I DON'T KNOW HOW ELSE TO SAY IT EXCEPT THAT YOUR ROLE IS VERY CLEAR. AND YOU REFUSE TO DO THE WORK THAT YOU WERE ELECTED OR APPOINTED TO DO. MAKE OUR CHILDREN SMART AGAIN. WE HAVE AARON WILCOX, FOLLOWED BY CHARLES. THE EVENING OF FACEBOOK POST BROUGHT ME HERE TONIGHT IT WAS THE MIDDLE SCHOOL FALLSTON TEACHER WAVING A FLAG AND THE VITRIOL THAT WAS UNLEASHED THE HATRED THAT WAS UNLEASHED. AND I JUST BEGGED THE COMMUNITY TO TEACH YOUR CHILDREN TO LOVE AND NOT HATE AND NOT PUT OTHERS DOWN. JUST EMBRACE AND LIFT EACH OTHER UP. IF YOU WANT TO BE RELIGIOUS LIFT EACH OTHER UP. THAT'S WHAT I REMEMBER FROM MY RELIGIOUS TEACHINGS. THANK YOU.

MY NAME IS CHUCK HICKS AND I HAVE BEEN A RESIDENT OF HARFORD COUNTY FOR 66 YEARS. I'M SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF TWO GRANDCHILDREN AND ONE GREAT GRANDCHILD ENROLLED IN THE SYSTEM. AND FIVE MORE TO FOLLOW, AND GOD KNOWS HOW MANY AFTER THAT. I'M ALSO A DEACON IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH AND HAVE THE CHURCH IS CONCERNED FOR WHATEVER AFFECTS THE CHILDREN OF GOD. AND I KNOW EVERYBODY HERE SHARES THAT CONCERN. AND I READ THE CVS OF THE BOARD, AND I'M IMPRESSED BY EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE YOUR FULLY QUALIFIED TO MAKE DECISIONS. THAT REFLECT THE GOALS OF THE PARENTS OF THE KIDS INSTRUCTED OR ENTRUSTED TO YOU TO EDUCATE. YET DESPITE YOUR STERLING QUALIFICATIONS, THREE BASIC AREAS WHERE I THINK YOU HAVE MADE VERY POOR DECISIONS THAT CAN DO SERIOUS HARM TO THE MORAL GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF OUR CHILDREN. IF YOU PERSIST IN THEM NOW I HAVE TO ADD A COMMENT AFTER HEARING ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE, MAYBE I MISJUDGE. MAYBE I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH DATA. BUT THAT'S MY POINT. MY FIRST CONCERN IS WITH I'VE SEEN MATERIAL. WHICH IS AVAILABLE IN OUR SCHOOL LIBRARIES, EVEN IN SOME CLASSROOMS HAVE SEEN MATERIAL IS TOTALLY OUT OF PLACE IN THE K THROUGH 12 SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT. IN FACT, IT'S STILL ILLEGAL TO MAKE OBSCENE MATERIAL AVAILABLE. TWO KIDS UNDER 16 YEARS OLD. PARENTS EXPECT THEIR CHILDREN TO BE PROTECTED FROM SUCH POISON. ALL MATERIALS AVAILABLE AND USED IN THE SCHOOL SHOULD BE SQUEAKY CLEAN. OBSCENITY CAN WREAK HAVOC IN THE FERTILE MIND FIELD. OF INNOCENT KIDS. AND HIS EXPERTS IN EDUCATION. YOU KNOW THOSE DANGERS WAY BETTER THAN WE DO.

FIXING THE PROBLEM IS EASY. YOU JUST CLEAR IT OFF THE SHELVES. IF IT'S STUDENT NEEDS TO ACCESS THE BOOK WITH OBSCENE CONTENT, THEY ARE FREE AND I HOPE WITH PARENTAL CONSENT TO USE THE PUBLIC LIBRARY. IT'S NOT THE SCHOOL'S BUSINESS TO PROVIDE THAT SORT OF THING TO KIDS. NEXT I'M CONCERNED WITH TWO SUBJECTS THAT YOU'VE BEEN AIRED HERE TONIGHT. ALREADY THAT THE STATE IS MANDATING FOR US TO START IN THE FALL. AT LEAST I THINK THAT'S WHAT THE CASES THESE ARE CRITICAL RACE THEORY, CRT AND GENDER IDEOLOGY ISSUES. HERE'S THE PROBLEM. THESE ARE NOT FACT BASED TOPICS WHICH CAN BE TAUGHT THEIR FAITH BASED TOPICS. MAN MADE FALSE RELIGIONS THAT THE STUDENT WILL BE FORCED TO ACCEPT AS TRUE. BY A PROCESS CALLED INDOCTRINATION. WELL, IT'S UNLAWFUL FOR THE STATE TO INDOCTRINATE ANY FOREIGN TO ANY FORM OF RELIGION. SO ON THAT BASIS ALONE, THE BOARD MUST REJECT CRT AND ALL THAT GENDER STUFF. BUT THERE ARE EVEN MORE COMPELLING REASONS FOR REJECTING THESE STATE MANDATES. GENDER IDEOLOGY IS A DEEPLY PERSONAL PARENT CHILD ISSUE. THAT BELONGS IN THE HOME. IT'S OFF LIMITS FOR THE SCHOOL TO MEDDLE IN. OF

[00:50:07]

COURSE, IT'S NOT OFF LIMITS FOR THE SCHOOL TO PROTECT PEOPLE WHO HAVE THOSE ISSUES. IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO PROTECT THOSE CHILDREN. OH THANKS. CRT IS WELL, I HAVE TO QUIT, THEN.

THANK YOU. WE HAVE TINA KENOSHA, FOLLOWED BY WILLIAM MARTINO. REGARDING THE DIVISIVENESS AND THE OBSCENE MATERIAL YOU APPROVED FOR THE USE OF OUR CHILDREN AND THEIR EDUCATION ILLEGALLY WITHOUT THE EXPRESS PERMISSION OF THE PARENTS HAVE SAID CHILDREN. YOUR GLORIOUS AND MORE MAJESTIC THAN THE EVERLASTING MOUNTAINS. OUR BOLDEST ENEMIES HAVE BEEN PLUNDERED. THEY LIE BEFORE US IN THE SLEEP OF DEATH WARRIOR CAN LIFT A HAND AGAINST US AT THE BLAST OF THE BREATH OF GOD OF JACOB, THEIR HORSES AND CHARIOTS LIGHT STILL NO WONDER YOU WERE GREATLY FEARED CAN STAND BEFORE YOU WHEN YOUR ANGER EXPLODES FROM HEAVEN, YOU SENTENCED YOUR ENEMIES. THE EARTH TREMBLED AND STOOD SILENT BEFORE YOU. YOU STAND UP TO JUDGE THOSE WHO DO EVIL OH, GOD AND TO RESCUE THE OPPRESSED OF THE EARTH. HUMAN DEFIANCE ONLY ENHANCES YOUR GLORY FOR YOU USE IT AS A WEAPON. MAKE VOWS TO THE LORD YOUR GOD AND KEEP THEM LET EVERYONE BRING TRIBUTE TO THE AWESOME ONE. FOR HE BREAKS THE PRIDE OF PRINCES AND THE KINGS OF THE EARTH FEAR HIM. IT IS GOOD TO GIVE. THANKS TO THE LORD TO ST CRISIS TO THE MOST HIGH.

IT IS GOOD TO PROCLAIM YOUR UNFAILING LOVE AND THE MORNING YOUR FAITHFULNESS IN THE EVENING ACCOMPANIED BY TENS, 10 STRING INSTRUMENT, A HEART AND THE MELODY OF A LIAR. YOU THROW ME LORD, WITH ALL YOU HAVE DONE FOR ME, I SING FOR JOY BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU HAVE DONE. OH LORD, WHAT GREAT WORKS YOU DO AND HOW DEEP ARE YOUR THOUGHTS? ONLY A SIMPLETON WOULD NOT KNOW. AND ONLY A FOOL WOULD NOT UNDERSTAND THIS. THOUGH THE WICKED SPROUT LIGHTS, WEEDS AND EVILDOERS FLOURISH, THEY WILL BE DESTROYED FOREVER. BUT YOU O LORD WILL BE EXALTED FOREVER. YOUR ENEMIES THE LORD WILL SURELY PERISH. ALL EVILDOERS WILL BE SCATTERED. BUT YOU HAVE MADE ME STRONG AS A WILD AX. YOU YOU YOU HAVE ANOINTED ME WITH THE FINEST OIL MY EYES HAVE SEEN THE DOWNFALL OF MY ENEMIES. MY EARS HAVE HEARD THE DEFEAT OF MY WICKED OPPONENTS. SO I'M ONE OH, ONE I WILL SING OF YOUR LOVE AND JUSTICE LORD, I WILL PRAISE YOU WITH SONGS. I WILL BE CAREFUL TO LIVE A BLAMELESS LIFE. WHEN WILL YOU COME TO HELP ME? I WILL LIVE A LIFE OF INTEGRITY IN MY OWN HOME. I REVIEWS TO LOOK AT ANYTHING VILE AND VULGAR. I HATE ALL WHO DEAL CROOKED LI. I WILL HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM. I WILL REJECT PERVERSE IDEAS AND STAY AWAY FROM EVERY EVIL. I WILL NOT TOLERATE PEOPLE WHO SLANDER THEIR NEIGHBORS. I WILL NOT ENDURE CONCEIT AND PRIDE. I WILL SEARCH FOR FAITHFUL PEOPLE TO BE MY COMPANIONS. ONLY THOSE WHO ARE ABOVE REPROACH WILL BE ALLOWED TO SERVE ME. I WILL NOT ALLOW HER DECEIVERS TO SERVE IN MY HOUSE AND LIARS WILL NOT STAY IN MY PRESENCE. MY DAILY TASK WILL BE TO FERRET OUT THE WICKED AND FREE THE CITY OF THE LORD FROM THEIR GRIP. MATTHEW 18. BUT IF YOU ANYONE CAUSES ONE OF THESE LITTLE ONES WHO BELIEVE IN ME TO STUMBLE, IT WOULD BE BETTER FOR HIM TO HAVE A LARGE MILLSTONE HUNG AROUND HIS NECK.

AND BE DROWNED IN THE DEPTHS OF THE SEA. SO PLEASE DO RIGHT BY OUR CHILDREN. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

GOOD EVENING. I WAS REVIEWING THE SCIENCE, TEXTBOOK, CULT SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY USED IN HIGH SCHOOLS AND MIDDLE SCHOOLS IN HARTFORD COUNTY. CHAPTER EIGHT ADDRESSES THE ORIGIN OF BIOLOGICAL LIFE. ST SIMPLE CHEMICALS IN THE OCEAN DEVELOPED LIFE. THIS IS KNOWN AS ABBA GENESIS. GENESIS IS A CONTRIVED . IMAGINE IDEA WITH NO EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE BACKING IT. IT'S TIME FOR SCIENCE LESSON. WALLS ARE ESTABLISHED FACTS BASED ON EMPIRICAL EXPERIMENT EXPERIMENTATION AND APPROVED BY THE ACADEMY OF SCIENCES. THERE WAS ONE SUCH LAW THAT ADDRESSES THE ORIGIN OF LIFE. THAT IS THE LAW OF BIOGENESIS. WHICH STATES LIVING THINGS CAN ONLY COME FROM OTHER LIVING THINGS BY MEANS OF REPRODUCTION. AND CANNOT. NOT COME FROM NON LIVING THINGS. NOW THIS IS COMPLETELY THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT THIS BOOK IN HARTFORD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS ARE TEACHING. IS IT THE POLICY OF HARFORD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO TEACH MADE UP SIGNS THAT COMPLETELY CONTRADICTS PROVEN EMPIRICAL WALLS. I GUESS IT MUST BE. I WOULD THINK A GROUP OF EDUCATED PEOPLE WITH SOME HOLDING PHDS WOULD UNDERSTAND SCIENTIFIC LAWS. TRUMP CONTRIVED THEORIES. MAYBE YOU DO UNDERSTAND IT. BUT IT IS MORE IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO TEACH FAKE SCIENCE THAT ALLIES WITH YOUR MARXIST VIEWS. BY TEACHING THAT ALL LIFE EVOLVED BY ACCIDENT

[00:55:04]

FROM SIMPLE CHEMICALS. IMPLIES THAT ALL HUMANITY HAS NO PURPOSE VALUE OR MEANING, SINCE WE ARE A CHEMICAL ACCIDENT. NO WONDER SUICIDES, ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION OR ALL TIME HIGHS IN HARFORD COUNTY. THIS IS ON YOU GUYS FOR ALLOWING THIS CRAFT TO BE TAUGHT IN OR ACADEMIC CLASSROOMS. I CAN ASSURE ALL THE STUDENTS OF HARFORD COUNTY THAT YOU WERE CREATED WITH PURPOSE. MEETINGS VALUE AND YOU ARE LOVED. THIS FAKE SCIENCE IN CHAPTER EIGHT ALSO ADVOCATES THE BASIS FOR LIFE IS CHEMICALS. WHEN YOU BREAK DOWN LIFE TO ITS MOST FUNDAMENTAL UNIT, IT IS INFORMATION. INFORMATION IS A SEQUENTIAL CODING SYSTEM LAID OUT IN A CERTAIN GEOMETRIC PATTERN WITH LOGIC SYSTEMS. THE AVERAGE HUMAN BEING HAS 160 TRILLION SETS OF ENCYCLOPEDIAS OF THIS INFORMATION IN THEIR BODY. IF ANYONE CAN REMEMBER WHEN ENCYCLOPEDIAS ARE INFORMATION IS INDEPENDENT OF MATTER. FOR EXAMPLE, A CD WITH NO INFORMATION ON ANY CD PACKED FULL OF INFORMATION WAY EXACTLY THE SAME. INFORMATION CAN ONLY COME FROM AN INTELLIGENT MIND.

HARFORD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS, TEACHERS THAT INFORMATION AND HUMAN BODY AROSE BY CHANCE. AND WITHOUT THE GUIDANCE OF INTELLIGENCE, THUS VIOLATING THE LAW OF INFORMATION. START TEACHING FAKE, CONTRIVED SCIENCE AND TEACH THE PROVEN LAWS OF SCIENCE. THANK YOU. YEAH. THAT'S ALL THE SPEAKERS. FOR IN PERSON. IN PERSON, OKAY? ALRIGHT MISS STAPLETON. I UNDERSTAND YOU'RE GONNA BE HELPING US WITH OUR VIRTUAL SPEAKERS THIS EVENING. THANK YOU, PRESIDENT. GOODY. I GUESS I AM. PLEASE PROCEED. THANK YOU. 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 ELAINE LEWIS. I'M HERE TO SPEAK TONIGHT BECAUSE I'M TRULY HORRIFIED AT THE IGNORANT HEAT AND FEAR. THAT IS BEING DIRECTED AT THE L G T P Q YOUTH AND HARPER COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS BY PARENTS AND PEOPLE WHO IDENTIFIED THEMSELVES AS TEACHERS. WHEN A MIDDLE SCHOOL TEACHER WITH 22 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE WHO IS A GAY STRAIGHT ALLIANCE SPONSOR IS VILIFIED.

FOR WALKING AROUND AND WAVING A RAINBOW COVERED FABRIC. AND SUPPORT. OF OUR L G T B Q YOUTH.

AND HAS ALSO BECOME THE TARGET OF CYBER BULLYING. IT IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER THAT WE SEND A MESSAGE TO OUR YOUTH. FACULTY AND STAFF THAT THEY ARE SEEING VALUED AND WILL BE PROTECTED. IT STAYS IF THESE PEOPLE. WHO ARE PROTESTING THESE ACTIONS FEEL COMFORTABLE DOING THIS AND MODELING THIS NEGATIVE BEHAVIOR FOR THEIR OWN CHILDREN. WHAT DO YOU THINK IS CURRENTLY HAPPENING IN THE HALLS IN THE BATHROOMS ON SOCIAL MEDIA TO OUR CHILDREN? WHAT KIND OF BULLYING AND ABUSE ARE THEY RECEIVING? WHEN DISCUSSING TERMS LIKE GROOMING ARE USED TO EQUATE TEACHING CHILDREN ABOUT BODY AUTONOMY AND GENDER IDENTITY WITH CHILD ABUSE , PEDOPHILIA AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING. THEY HAVE CROSSED A LINE. AND, OF COURSE, THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE CHILDREN THAT ARE VICTIMS OF GROOMING, PEDOPHILIA AND TRAFFICKING. AND THAT THEIR WORDS AND ACTIONS DEFLECT ATTENTION FROM THESE SERIOUS ISSUES. I SUPPORT THIS PSA ADVISOR. I SUPPORT L G T B Q CHILDREN. AND I SUPPORT OUR FACULTY AND STAFF. WE WILL STAND WITH YOU AGAINST THIS IGNORANCE, HATE AND FEAR. THANK YOU. CHILDREN ABOUT BODY AUTONOMY AND GENDER. GOOD EVENING. YOU ARE NOW IN THE BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING. BEFORE YOU BEGIN. YOUR PUBLIC COMMENT ARM. IT'S A.

SPEAK CANADA WORDS AND ACTIONS. MHM. FAST SUPPORT GFMS. PRESIDENT GLORIA CAN YOU HEAR ME? HEAR YOU? YES, IT'S THE PERSON WHO IS WAITING IN THE LOBBY. UM BECAUSE THERE'S A FEW SECOND DELAY. THEY'RE JUST HEARING THIS STATEMENT. THEY JUST NEED TO TURN OFF WHATEVER

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.

SIBLINGS IDENTIFIES LIKE MEDIA. I APOLOGIZE. AN ARTIST THINK IT'S SO IMPORTANT THAT THEY ARE REPRESENTED AND THAT THEY HAVE THAT TEACHER TO EGGS. I THINK SHE. GOT LOST SOMEWHERE JUST DROPPED OFF. POLICY JUST DROPPED OFF. SORRY ABOUT THAT. I AM APOLOGIZE. UM PLEASE CALL BACK AND WE'LL LET YOU IN IN JUST A MOMENT. REALLY? SHE HEARD THAT I HOPE SO TOO. GOOD EVENING. YOU'RE 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. PHONE NUMBER ENDING IN 5384. CAN YOU HEAR ME? YES. HI. HELLO YES, YOU MAY BEGIN YOUR PUBLIC COMMENT NOW. RIGHT NOW. YES.

OKAY? HELLO MY NAME IS ERICA BLEW IN, AND I'M A PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHER AND A PARENT OF TWO STUDENTS IN FALLSTON. RECENTLY I LEARNED THAT CARROLL COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND THE PRIDE FLAG FROM ALL CLASSROOM SETTING. AND WAS SADDENED TO THINK ABOUT THE MESSAGE THAT SENDS TO ALL OF THE CHILDREN. THAT ATTEND SCHOOL IN THAT COUNTY SADDENED THAT SOME OF OUR LGBT Q CHILDREN SHOULD THINK FOR A MOMENT THAT THEY ARE NOT LOVED AND VALUED FOR WHO THEY ARE SAT IN. FOR THOSE STUDENTS WHO ARE LEARNING FROM THE ADULTS AROUND THEM THAT THEY THEY SHOULD BE INTOLERANT TOWARDS OTHERS DIFFERENCES INSTEAD OF ALLIES AND FRIENDS ALL AND ALSO SAT IN FOR THOSE ADULT. WHO HAS HATE IN THEIR HEARTS AND USE THEIR TIME FIGHTING ABOUT ISSUES THAT DO NOT EVEN DIRECTLY IMPACTS THEIR LIVES IN A NEGATIVE WAY. AFTER HEARING ABOUT CARROLL COUNTY'S ANNOUNCEMENT. I TOLD MY HUSBAND THAT I'M SO GLAD I WORK IN THE COUNTY, WHERE PEOPLE'S DIFFERENCES ARE CELEBRATED. WE EVEN RECEIVED OUR OWN PRIDE FLAGS TO DISPLAY IN OUR CLASSROOMS IN ORDER TO LET ALL CHILDREN KNOW THAT THEY ARE IN A SAFE AND LOVING SPACE. I ALSO TOLD HIM HOW HAPPY I AM TO LIVE IN A PLACE WHERE OUR OWN CHILDREN ARE LEARNING TO BE TOLERANT, LOVING PEOPLE AND THAT THEIR SCHOOLS DO NOT IMPART HATEFUL BELIEFS. WHEN I HEARD THAT HE FOUR SECOND VIDEO OF A FALSE TO MIDDLE SCHOOL TEACHER WALKING THROUGH THE HALLWAY WITH PRIDE FLAG WAS POSTED TO SOCIAL MEDIA AND SOME RESPONSES WERE OF HATE, BULLYING AND HARASSMENT TOWARDS THE TEACHER AND THE SCHOOL. I FELT LIKE THE WIND HAD BEEN KNOCKED OUT OF MAINE IN 2022. IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT ANYONE WOULD HAVE HATE IN THEIR HEARTS TOWARDS PEOPLE IN THE LGBT Q COMMUNITY. ESPECIALLY KNOWING THAT WE ALL GET ALL OF US LOVE SOMEONE WHO'S IN THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY. IT SICKENS ME TO THINK THAT THIS TEACHER HAS BEEN MISTREATED FOR BEING AN ALLY AND AN ADVOCATE FOR ALL STUDENTS. WHO HAS SO MUCH TIME ON THEIR HANDS THAT THEY SHOULD GIVE A MOMENT'S THOUGHT TO A PEACEFUL AND LOVING GESTURE, SUCH AS CARRYING A FLAG AS A SIGN OF SUPPORT. I CAME HERE TO SPEAK TO TELL THE TEACHER AND THE SCHOOL THAT I'M PROUD TO SUPPORT LOVING AND OPEN MINDED VIEWS. I WOULD HATE TO THINK THAT ANY OF MY STUDENTS WOULD EVEN FOR A MOMENT THINK THAT THEY ARE NOT PERFECT. JUST THE WAY THEY ARE. I HAVE LOVE IN MY HEART FOR ALL OF MY STUDENTS, AND I'M SO GLAD A TEACHER AT FALLSTON DOES TOO. I'M URGING HARTFORD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO THINK ABOUT THE POSITIVE IMPACT. FIGHTING FOR INCLUSIVITY EQUITY AND A POSITIVE FACE SAFE SPACE HAS ON ON ALL OF OUR STUDENTS. THIS IS A PEACEFUL, DIVERSE COUNTY AND WE CANNOT HAVE TOLERANCE AND JUDGMENTS AND HATE IN OUR HEARTS. THANK YOU.

PROUD. AND. PERFECT THE WAY THEY ARE. I HAVE A GOOD EVENING. YOU ARE NOW IN THE BOARD OF

[01:05:05]

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 UM, CAN YOU ALL HEAR ME? YES, WE CAN. OKAY MY NAME IS CHRISTINE MACDONALD. I WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TODAY. BOSTON MIDDLE SCHOOL'S MOTTO IS ACHIEVING WITH PRIDE. I ASKED TO SPEAK TODAY TO URGE THE BOARD AND EVERYONE PRESENT TONIGHT TO FOLLOW THAT MOTTO BY FOSTERING AN ENVIRONMENT OF INCLUSIVITY IN OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS. COOL.

THEY'RE PLACES WHERE ALL YOUNG PEOPLE SHOULD FEEL SAFE AND SECURE. RECENT OUTRAGE OVER A TEACHER AND A PRIDE FLAG HAVE SHOWN THAT OUR SCHOOLS MAY NOT BE A SAFE AND SECURE PLACE FOR LGBTQ STUDENTS, AND THAT NEEDS TO CHANGE. INCLUSIVE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENTALLY TO BETTER ACADEMIC AND MENTAL HEALTH OUTCOMES FOR LGBTQ STUDENTS. A 2019 STUDY BY THE GAY LESBIAN STRAIGHT EDUCATION NETWORK SURVEYED OVER 16,000 MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT THE STUDY REVEALED THAT EIGHT OUT OF 10 LGBTQ STUDENTS EXPERIENCED HARASSMENT AT SCHOOL AND THAT NEARLY A THIRD OF THEM REPORTED SKIPPING SCHOOL BECAUSE OF SAFETY CONCERNS. STUDIES HAVE ALSO SHOWN THAT LGBTQ YOUTH ATTEMPT SUICIDE AT A RATE BETWEEN 3 TO 4 TIMES HIGHER THAN THAT OF HETERONORMATIVE YOUTH. THESE RATES DROP SIGNIFICANTLY WHEN CHILDREN HAVE ACCESS TO LGBT Q AFFIRMING SPACES SOMEWHERE THEY CAN SAFELY GROW AS A PERSON. MOREOVER LGBTQ YOUTH AND SUPPORTIVE AND INCLUSIVE ENVIRONMENTS ARE LESS LIKELY TO MISS SCHOOL. THE BENEFITS OF AN INCLUSIVE ENVIRONMENT ARE NOT LIMITED TO OUR LGBTQ STUDENTS. INCLUSIVE ENVIRONMENT BENEFIT ALL STUDENTS , INCLUDING YOUNG, STRAIGHT PEOPLE, THEY TEACH ALL STUDENTS TO RESPECT OTHERS AND TO APPRECIATE AND ACCEPT DIFFERENCES. EITHER SKILLS THAT ARE NECESSARY TO BE SUCCESSFUL AND ANY OCCUPATION. MY SON IS IN PRESCHOOL, BUT AS HE MOVES THROUGH THE HARTFORD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM, I HOPE HE HAS TEACHERS WHO MAKE THEM FEEL SAFE AND WELCOME REGARDLESS OF WHO HE IS AS A PERSON. I HOPE YOU HAVE TEACHERS LIKE THAT FALLS IN MIDDLE SCHOOL TEACHER THAT MANY OF US ARE HERE SUPPORTING TONIGHT. I HOPE YOU HAVE TEACHERS LIKE HER THAT MAKE THEM FEEL PROUD OF WHO HE IS AND GIVE THEM THE TOOLS AND SUPPORT HE NEEDS TO ACHIEVE SUCCESS WITH PRIDE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. GOOD EVENING. YOU ARE NOW IN 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 WILL BEGIN YOUR PUBLIC COMMENT NOW. HI MY NAME IS CLAIRE MCCARTHY. AND I'M A STUDENT AT BOSTON HIGH SCHOOL. I JUST WANTED TO ADDRESS THE BULLYING OF THE TEACHER WHO RAISED THE PRICE IS RIGHT AROUND THE SCHOOL. I JUST I WANTED TO STRESS THAT AS NOT ONLY A MEMBER OF THE LGBT COMMUNITY MYSELF, BUT ALSO AS A PERSON. AS A SIBLING WHO IS A MEMBER. IT IS SO IMPORTANT FOR THEM TO HAVE ACCESS TO SOMEONE WHO IS NOT ONLY AN ALLY FOR THEM, BUT SOMEONE WHO CAN HELP THEM WITH OTHERS MAY NOT LIKE OTHERS AT THAT SCHOOL ARE HORRIBLE TO THESE KIDS, AND SO THE MOST BREWED AND HORRIBLE THINGS, AND IT JUST THEY NEED THAT PERSON WHO'S THERE FOR THEM, AND I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD BE SHAMING ANYONE WHO IS THAT PERSON. SO I JUST WANTED TO BOARD TO HEAR ME OUT. AND I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. PRESIDENT GAUDIER. THOSE ARE ALL OF THE PUBLIC COMMENTS

AND THIS IS JUST GIVING THE DISCRETIONARY ACCOUNTS FOR THAT ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT OFFICE SUPPLIES HAPPY RENTAL THOSE TYPES OF THINGS. AT THE BOTTOM AGAIN, YOU'LL SEE. THE TOTAL IS ZERO FTE CHANGE AND $0 CHANGE. THESE TRANSFERS ARE TYPICAL THAT WHAT WE DO AT THE END OF EVERY YEAR AS WE'RE PREPARING THE BUDGET, SO WE DO MOVE THINGS BETWEEN LINE ITEMS, AND IT DOES TYPICALLY NET 20 FOR THE DOLLARS . OCCASIONALLY THERE ARE FT CHANGES BASED ON CHANGES THAT WE MADE DURING THE YEAR AND THESE WOULD ALL BECOME EFFECTIVE JULY 1 2022. UPON YOUR APPROVAL. SO THE BUDGET AMENDMENTS THAT WE WOULD REQUEST TONIGHT. THE FIRST ONE IS THE 4.2 FTE S. AND THAT'S ZERO CHANGE IN REVENUE AND EXPENDITURES NUMBER TWO. IS AN INCREASE IN THE STATE, MARYLAND REVENUE OF $4.9 MILLION THAT IS MOVING THE FULL DAY PRE K FROM RESTRICTED TO UNRESTRICTED. IF YOU'LL REMEMBER IN THE B O S PROPOSED BUDGET WE WERE SUGGESTING MOVING THE FOUR DAY FULL DAY PRE K FROM UNRESTRICTED TO RESTRICTED AFTER SOME CONSULTATION WITH MSD AND SOME OTHER LOCAL EDUCATION AGENCIES. WE'VE DECIDED THAT IT'S BEST ACCOUNTED FOR AN UNRESTRICTED SO IT'S A REVERSAL OF SOMETHING THAT WE PROPOSED. AND THEN NUMBER THREE IS ACTUALLY AN INCREASE IN STATE REVENUE THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED. UM FROM MSD.

THE MAJORITY OF THAT IS MSD HAS HELD EACH OF THE LOCAL EDUCATION AGENCIES. HARMLESS FOR COMBAT FUNDING SO FARMS OR FREE AND REDUCED MEALS. STUDENT COUNTS ARE DOWN ACROSS THE STATE.

HOWEVER THE STATE DECIDED THIS YEAR TO HOLD EACH COUNTY HARMLESS. SO THAT WAS A LITTLE OVER THREE MILLION. THE OTHER 2.7, OR SO MILLION WAS A LITTLE BIT MORE IN SPECIAL ED LITTLE BIT MORE IN L, A P OR ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS. AND A LITTLE BIT MORE IN TRANSPORTATION. SO WHAT WE HAVE PROPOSED TO DO WITH THAT FIRST LINE ITEM IS THAT INCREASE IN THE TEACHER'S RETIREMENT, THE STATE OF MARYLAND IS SHIFTING MORE OF THE BURDEN OR MORE OF THE RESPONSIBILITY I SHOULD SAY FOR THE TEACHERS RETIREMENT. TO EACH OF THE COUNTY'S. THAT'S ABOUT 3.2 MILLION WE'RE PROPOSING, ADDING 20 SAFETY LIAISONS AT THE ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY LEVEL.

THAT'S 20 F TO EASE FOR ALMOST 1.2 MILLION. TWO REGIONAL COORDINATORS OF SAFETY FOR 206,000. THREE SPECIAL ED PARA EDUCATORS FOR CLASSROOM SUPPORT PROGRAMS MENTAL HEALTH COORDINATOR THAT IS A TRANSFER FROM THE RESTRICTED BUDGET. UM. AND SOME OTHER FTS AND SMALL 50 SPECIAL EDUCATION INTERPRETER. SWAN CREEK 10 MONTH CLERICAL PARA EDUCATOR FOR JUDY CENTER EXPANSION AND A CONVERSION OF A PART TIME SLP TWO FULL TIME. THE OTHER. LINE ITEMS ARE NON FTE LINE ITEMS, AND THEY'RE JUST SOME INCREASES TO SOME OF THE LIME ITEMS WHERE WE NEEDED TO SHORE THOSE UP A LITTLE BIT, AND THEN THE CONVERSION OF A FEW POSITIONS FROM 10 MONTHS TO 11 MONTH. AND THEN, UM, THE DEPARTMENT OF ORGANIZATION DEVELOPMENT CLERICAL FROM A GRADE SIX TO A GRADE EIGHT. AT THE VERY BOTTOM. YOU'LL SEE THAT UPON APPROVAL THAT WOULD GIVE THE UNRESTRICTED FY 23 BOARD OF EDUCATION'S BUDGET. 4995.7 FTE S FOR A TOTAL DOLLAR AMOUNT OF 579,000,392. THIS IS A SUMMARY OF WHERE WE STAND IN FY 22 CURRENT YEAR AND WHERE WE WOULD

[01:20:01]

BE UPON YOUR APPROVAL OF THOSE THREE AMENDMENTS. SO WE STARTED AT 5 19.6 MILLION. AND WE'RE LOOKING AT MANDATORY BASELINE BUDGET INCREASES OF THOSE DIFFERENT AREAS OF 57.4 MILLION.

OUR PRIORITY SCHOOLS ENHANCEMENTS, WHICH IS PART OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION'S PROPOSED BUDGET. THERE WERE NO CHANGES THERE OF 2.5 MILLION AND THAT WOULD BE A TOTAL CHANGE FROM CURRENT YEAR FY 22 TO FY 23 OF 59.8 MILLION OR 11.5. IN TERMS OF REVENUE. THE ONLY AMOUNT THAT CHANGED HERE WAS THE MARYLAND STATE WHERE WE'RE RECOGNIZING MORE REVENUE THAN WE DID IN THE BEOS PROPOSED BUDGET. THE 30.4 MILLION IS NOT A CHANGE FROM LOCAL AND THE OTHER THREE LINE ITEMS ALSO STAY THE SAME AGAIN. THAT'S AN 11.5 INCREASE FOR THE 579.4 MILLION. SO THIS SLIDE JUST SHOWS THE CHANGE FROM WHAT WAS APPROVED IN THE BOARD OF EDUCATION'S PROPOSED BUDGET TO NOW, UM SO WE CAN SEE AS WE GO ACROSS. WE HAD SOME TRANSFERS AND CURRENT YEAR WE HAD THE 4.2 FINAL BASED BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS. FINAL AMENDMENTS. TWO AND THREE THAT WE LISTED ABOVE THAT GIVES US THE FOURTH. 1009 195.7 TOTAL UNRESTRICTED FTS. AND THEN THEY RESTRICTED FTS. THERE'S ACTUALLY A REDUCTION FROM 383.8 TO 347.6. AND THEN FOOD SERVICE WOULD REMAIN THE SAME AT 263.5. FT S FOR A TOTAL OF 5606.8 F. D. E SS ONLY A COUPLE CHANGES BETWEEN THE BOARD OF EDUCATION IS PROPOSED. AND THIS CURRENT OR EDITION. IS 7.6 MILLION OF THE MARYLAND LEADS GRANT. WE JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT THAT ONE ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO. MAYBE 2.5 MONTHS AGO. WE'VE BEEN GIVEN PRELIMINARY APPROVAL FOR THAT AMOUNT OF 7.6 MILLION. ON THE STATE WITH THE ONLY THING THAT CHANGES WE REMOVED THE, UM BLUEPRINT PRE K FOUR YEAR OLD. WE MOVED THAT FROM RESTRICTED TO UNRESTRICTED AND THEN THE LAST ONE. THE TALENT PATHWAYS UNDER LOCAL AND MISCELLANEOUS GRANTS.

THAT'S THE $5 MILLION OF FUN BALANCE THAT WAS ASSIGNED FOR DR OLSON'S TALENT PATHWAYS INITIATIVE. SO WE, WE WILL REFLECT THAT AS $5 MILLION IN LOCAL SLASH MISCELLANEOUS GRANTS. CAPITAL BUDGET. WE'RE LOOKING AT 85.8 MILLION THE STATE PORTION IS 29.7 LOCAL PORTION 50.8, AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE A FUN BALANCE ASSIGNMENT OF 5.25 MILLION THE FIRST SLIDE ON THE CAPITAL BUDGET. AND YOU'VE SEEN THESE BEFORE. WE'VE BEEN THROUGH THESE SEVERAL TIMES.

THESE ARE THE KIND OF ABOVE THE LINE OR STATE ELIGIBLE PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE. HOMESTEAD WAKEFIELD, HARPER TECH AND THE OTHER VARIOUS, UH PROJECTS THAT QUALIFY FOR STATE FUNDING WITH CERTAIN LOCAL FUNDING MATCH THAT TYPE OF THING. THE NEXT ONE. I KNOW THIS SLIDES A LITTLE BIT BUSY, BUT REALLY THE COLUMNS TO LOOK AT ARE THE LOCAL PROPOSED FUNDING, SO THOSE WOULD WOULD BE IN ADDITION TO THE PREVIOUS SLIDE THAT ADD UP TO THE 50. $0.8 MILLION. THE CAPITAL.

TRANSFER THE 1.5. THAT'S WHAT WE DO EACH YEAR. WE LOOK IN THE SPRING AND SEE WHAT CAPITAL PROJECTS ARE GOING TO CLOSE OUT . IF THERE'S ANY FUNDING REMAINING IN THOSE PROJECTS, AND THEN WHAT WE WOULD WANT TO DO WITH THOSE SO THAT IS THE LOCAL C I P CATEGORY TRANSFER THE 1.5 MILLION YOU CAN SEE ON THAT BOTTOM LINE. THERE'S A NEGATIVE 1.5. THAT'S BECAUSE THOSE FUNDS ALREADY EXIST WITHIN THE CAPITAL BUDGET. THEY'RE JUST WE'RE JUST MOVING THEM TO THE CORRECT PROJECT. AND THEN THE 5.25 MILLION. THAT IS THE OPERATING FUND BALANCE TRANSFER THAT WE WOULD ALSO SEEK APPROVAL FOR TONIGHT, AND THOSE ARE THE PROJECTS THAT WE WOULD PROPOSE SPENDING THOSE FUNDS ON AND AGAIN THAT TOTALS TO THE $85.8 MILLION. FOOD AND NUTRITION.

THIS IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS IT WAS IN THE BOARD OF EDUCATION'S PROPOSED WE ARE BUDGETING $19.2 MILLION IN REVENUE AND ALSO $19.2 MILLION IN EXPENDITURES IN THE FOOD SERVICE FUND. SO UH, LET ME READ THIS FIRST AND THEN WE CAN GO OVER ANY QUESTIONS. THE SUPERINTENDENT RECOMMENDS THAT THE BOARD OF EDUCATION APPROVED FOLLOWING BUDGETS WITH AMENDMENTS FOR FY 2023. THE UNRESTRICTED FUND 579,000,392. THE RESTRICTED FUND 49,791,006. CAPITAL PROJECTS FUNDS 85,768,009. AND IN THE FOOD NUTRITION FUND, 19,203,003. OKAY? THAT'S IT. THAT'S ALL YOU

[01:25:14]

GOT FOR US JUST MONEY STUFF, HUH? WOULD ASK YOU TO. PLEASE PUT UP. I'M GOING TO GO FROM THE BOTTOM UP. WE'RE GOING TO DO THE FOOD NUTRITION FUND FIRST. AND KIND OF WORK OUR WAY UP FROM THERE. IF THAT IS OKAY. PROBLEM IF YOU COULD PUT UP THE FOOD NUTRITION SLIDE FOR US. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ALRIGHT SO ANY QUESTIONS FROM ANY OF THE BOARD MEMBERS REGARDING THE FOOD AND NUTRITION BUDGET THAT IS BEFORE YOU BOTH ON THIS BIG SCREEN AND THE SMALL SCREEN. 23. 19 MILLION BECAUSE. WE'RE GOING BACK TO THE NATIONAL FOOD LUNCH PROGRAM. THAT'S THE PLAN, SO IT IS AN ADJUSTMENT BECAUSE THE REIMBURSEMENTS ARE LESS BECAUSE WE'RE NOT GONNA DO WHAT WE DID DOING COKE. AS OF RIGHT NOW, THE WAIVERS ARE EXPIRING AS OF JUNE 30. CORRECT THANK YOU BEEN NO TALK OF THEM. BEING REACT AS MY UNDERSTANDING ON METRO WE'RE STILL HOPEFUL BUT KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS TO THE PUBLIC, JUST TO KINDA REITERATE. AND SO SOMEBODY CAN SAY THEY'VE HEARD IT IS THAT EVERYBODY WILL HAVE TO GO BACK TO APPLYING FOR FREE AND REDUCED LUNCH LIKE THEY HAVE DONE IN THE PAST. WILL BE BEGGING ALL THE FAMILIES TO FILL UP THE FORMS THAT THEY NEED TO GET TURNED IN SO THAT THEY CAN SEE IF THEIR CHILD AND FAMILY QUALIFIES. WE WILL NO LONGER BE HAVING UNIVERSAL FREE BREAKFAST OR LUNCH FOR ANY SCHOOLS. AT THIS POINT, CORRECT THAT'S CORRECT.

IT WILL BE BASED ON THE FREE AND REDUCED APPLICATION. WE ALSO HAVE PROVIDED MILK INDIVIDUALLY THIS YEAR THAT WILL BE EXPIRING AS WELL. SO EVERYTHING WILL BE PURCHASED NEXT YEAR UNLESS YOU QUALIFY FOR THE COMPLETE MEAL. AND OBVIOUSLY THOSE STUDENTS WOULD RECEIVE THOSE MEALS AND JUST BECAUSE I'M A MOM OF THE MIDDLE SCHOOL, OR DOES THAT MEAN THAT THEY WILL BE ABLE TO START PURCHASING SNACKS AGAIN, TOO? WHOLE DIFFERENT CONVERSATION. SUPPLY AND DEMAND. WE ARE. WE ARE VERY, VERY TIGHT RIGHT NOW AND WHAT WE'RE GETTING INTO. IF WE HAVE IT AVAILABLE, I WOULD IMAGINE THAT IT WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE AND REALLY, THAT IS MORE OF A SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUE THAN A WERE UNWILLING ISSUE. IT IS NOT AN HCPS ISSUE. YEAH. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE GETTING THAT OUT THERE TOO. ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? DAVID, DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION? YES, THANK YOU. IT WAS ACTUALLY A FOLLOW UP TO THAT. UM I HAD THOUGHT THAT PRE PANDEMIC WE HAD A FEW CERTAIN SCHOOLS THAT HAD AT LEAST FREE BREAKFAST FOR ALL STUDENTS. IS THAT NO LONGER THE CASE. THERE ARE SCHOOLS THAT DO APPLY DO QUALIFY FOR THAT, SO THAT WOULD REMAIN IN EFFECT AS WELL. OKAY, THANK YOU. OR MAYBE NOT. OKAY WE CAN GET YOU THE LIST OF THOSE SCHOOLS THAT QUALIFY AND PROVIDE ANYTHING ELSE. IT IS NOT ONLY TITLE ONE. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.

ELECTION OF ONE MOVES. YOU ACTUALLY APPROVED THAT? IN MAY. SO EACH QUARTER WE LOOK AT PROJECTS AND WE TRANSFER THEM BETWEEN OTHER PROJECTS. SO IF A PROJECT IS CLOSING OUT, WE KNOW THAT THERE AREN'T CALLED WE MOVE THEM TO OTHER AREAS WHERE WE KNOW WE'LL NEED THE FUNDS. SO THAT WAS THE 1.5 MILLION, POINTING OUT THAT I FORGOT. SURE THAT WAS NOT MY INTENT. I WANTED TO REASSURE YOU THAT YOU HAD SEEN THOSE IN THAT THE BOARD HAD VOTED TO DO THAT BECAUSE THE COUNTY HAD TO INCLUDE THOSE IN THEIR AMENDMENTS FOR THE JULY ONE BUDGET BECAUSE THERE WERE DEFEATED THEN UM, I'M SORRY, COMPLETED AS A AS OF JULY ONE.

AND WE'RE HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS EVENING. MM MR BROWN SAID. WE WENT THROUGH THIS IN DETAIL LAST WEEK, SO I WON'T GO THROUGH EACH AND EVERY SLIDE. BUT REALLY THESE TWO DOCUMENTS ARE WHAT LEAD INTO OUR CAPITAL PROGRAM. WE HAVE OUR EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES MASTER PLAN, WHICH DOCUMENTS ALL OF OUR FACILITIES AND CONDITIONS, AND THEN THE COMPREHENSIVE MAINTENANCE PLAN, WHICH OUTLAYS THE MAINTENANCE CENTER FACILITIES OVER THE YEAR. AND THIS ALL LEADS INTO OUR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM. THIS IS A PRECURSOR AND A REQUIREMENT BY THE STATE FOR OUR CAPITAL, UM, IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM AND OUR REQUEST TO THE STATE. AND OUR 2022 EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES. MASTER PLAN INCLUDES ALL THE REQUIREMENTS BY THE STATE. ONE OF THE MAIN THINGS THAT COME OUT OF OUR EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES. MASTER PLAN IS THE TIMELINE OF OUR MAJOR CAPITAL

[01:40:03]

PROJECTS AS WE KNOW OUR CURRENT ADMINISTRATION. AS FUNDING ONE MAJOR PROJECT AT A TIME, WHICH TYPICALLY SPANS OVER TWO YEARS. UM, THE CURRENT PROJECT THAT WE ARE WORKING THROUGH IS THE HOMESTEAD WAKEFIELD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PROJECT. WE HAVE ALSO STUDIED THE FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR THE NEW COMBINATION. JOHN ARCHER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. UM, AND THEN AFTER THAT WE HAVE THE WILLIAM PICKER OR POST ROAD AND THEN NEWLY ADDED, UM AS OF THE BALANCING ENROLLMENT PROCESS THROUGH THAT PROCESS IS THE BEL AIR MIDDLE SCHOOL PROJECT. AND WE WILL COMPLETE A FEASIBILITY STUDY AT THAT TIME TO DETERMINE EXACTLY WHAT THAT PROJECT ENTAILS. UM THIS IS THE COMPREHENSIVE MAINTENANCE PLAN AGAIN. IT'S A REQUIRED TOOL BY OUR STATE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE MAINTAINING ALL OF OUR SCHOOLS AND KEEPING UP WITH THE MAINTENANCE OF THE STATE HAS A VESTED INTEREST AND THEY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY CAN SEE OUR TIMELINE AND SCHEDULED FOR THESE MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES. UM AND THESE ARE ALL THE DIFFERENT COMPONENTS THAT ARE IN THE COVERAGE OF MAINTENANCE PLAN. I WON'T GO THROUGH EACH ONE OF THEM. IF THERE'S ANY THAT COME UP WITH A SPECIFIC QUESTION, I'M SURE. UM, WE'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY OF THEM. AND AGAIN, THIS DOES ROLL INTO OUR C I P. UM AND WE WILL BRING THIS INFORMATION WITH THE BOARD OF ED GOLD. ANY ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS THIS YEAR WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT THE CP. WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT BLUEPRINT AND THERE'S TWO BANDS.

WE CAN HOME. THANK YOU ALL FOR STAYING. IT'S BEEN A LONG DAY.

GOOD EVENING, MADAM PRESIDENT. GOOD EVENING, PRESIDENT MEMBERS AVOID DR PAULSON. UM SO WE WERE BEFORE THIS BOARD. SEVERAL MEETINGS AGO AND WE TALKED ABOUT SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE WERE WORKING ON THAT TIME AND SO PURPOSE FORCE COMING BEFORE THE BOARD TONIGHT. NICE TO SHARE

[01:45:06]

SOME UPDATES ABOUT SOME OF THE WORK THAT WE CONTINUED TO WORK ON SINCE THE LAST MEETING AND OTHER GOALS AND OBJECTIVES THAT WE HAVE MOVING FORWARD. SO WILL COVER. IN OUR IN OUR PRESENTATION, I BELIEFS, VALUES AND GOALS AND ALSO SUMMARIZE SOME OF THE WORK THAT THE WORKGROUP DID SCHOOL SAFETY WORKGROUP. AS WELL AS KEY FINDINGS AND YOU KNOW WHAT WE'RE DOING? WHAT WE HAVE DONE AND WHERE WE'RE GOING. SO. YOU KNOW OUR SAFETY FIRST SO THAT WE CAN HAVE PRODUCTIVE LEARNING IN THE CLASSROOM IS WHAT'S MOST IMPORTANT BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT WHEN OUR STUDENTS AND OUR STAFF FEEL SAFE, UM THEN YOU KNOW WE HAVE PRODUCTIVITY IN THE CLASSROOM. AND SO WHAT WE'RE DOING IS WE'RE PREPARING OF COURSE WE DO THAT, THROUGH. OUR DRILLS ARE TRAINING ONGOING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. AND WHAT OUR RESPONSE LOOKS LIKE AND TAKING PROACTIVE MEASURES AND THEN ALSO BEING ABLE TO REACT AS WELL AS THE TRAINING, UM, THAT WE HAVE CONTINUED TO DO, AND WE ARE. LOOKING FORWARD TO CONTINUING MOVING FORWARD. GOOD EVENING. IN REGARDS TO OUR SAFETY AND SECURITY WORK GROUP. WHEN WE WERE HERE LAST TIME, WE JUST EXPLAINED THAT OUR GOAL IS TO ENSURE THAT OUR SCHOOLS ARE SAFE, SECURE AND HELPING EFFECTIVE TEACHING AND LEARNING CREATIVITY AND INNOVATION. WE DID FORM A WORKGROUP. UM AND THAT TASK. THE FIRST TASK WAS TO REVIEW AND REVISE ANY CRITICAL INCIDENT RESOURCE FOR OUR SCOLDING BASIS ADMINISTRATORS AS WELL AS GATHER INPUT. AS NOTED. OUR GROUP MEMBERS REPRESENT VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS, WHICH INCLUDE OPERATIONS, TRANSPORTATION, RISK MANAGEMENT , EQUITY AND CULTURAL PROFICIENCY, BUILDING BASED ADMINISTRATORS, HEALTH AND WELLNESS, CIA AND ALSO OUR SHERIFF'S OFFICE. OUR JOURNEY STARTED WITH REVIEWING OUR CRITICAL INCIDENT GUIDE AND WE RECOGNIZE THE NEED TO ADD AN ADDITIONAL INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL STAKEHOLDERS, WHICH PROMPTED OUR STAKEHOLDER MEETINGS. AS WE SHARED WITH WITH YOU. LAST TIME.

OUR STAKEHOLDER MEETINGS WERE HELD IN THE MONTH OF MARCH, AND THESE GROUPS ARE DISPLAYED FOR YOUR REFERENCE, AS YOU CAN SEE, IT IS A WIDE VARIETY. IT INCLUDES NOT ONLY OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT BUT ALSO IS NOTED EARLIER IN PUBLIC COMMENT AND INCLUDED OUR STUDENTS AS WELL.

UM OUR TEACHER LEADERS AND YOU, OF COURSE. AND MAKING SURE THAT WE GATHERED APPROPRIATE DATA.

THESE MEETINGS WERE ALL CONDUCTED IN THE MONTH OF MARCH AND THE SURVEY DATA WAS COLLECTED AND WE PROMISED TO RETURN TO YOU TO SHARE A COMPREHENSIVE REPORT. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS YAKUBU'S MONOLOGUE. I GO BY USMAN I'M THE MANAGER OF RESEARCH AND PROGRAM EVALUATION. SO, AS DR STACEY SAID, THIS IS THE REPORT THAT WE PUT TOGETHER. FOR YOU. I BELIEVE YOU HAVE A COPY ON THIS REPORT WILL BE MADE PUBLIC TOMORROW. SO BASICALLY WHAT YOU WILL FIND IN THIS REPORT. KEY FINDINGS FROM THE ANALYSIS OF ALL THE STAKEHOLDER MEETINGS, ALL THE MEETINGS THAT TOOK PLACE, INCLUDING THE SURVEY. THAT THEY TOOK, SO I BELIEVE WE RECEIVED MORE THAN 1000 COMMENTS. PLUS ALL THE MEETING NOTES. WE ANALYZE THAT AND COME UP WITH THE FUNDING. SO IN ADDITION TO THOSE STAKEHOLDER MEETING, THE SUPERINTENDENT ALSO ASKED US TO REVIEW THE 2021 2022 THREAT ASSESSMENT DATA IN OUR SCHOOL, SO THE REPORT ALSO INCLUDES FUNDING FROM THOSE TRADE ASSESSMENT DATA, AS WELL AS DISCIPLINED DATA FOR THE PAST FIVE YEARS. WE REVIEW THAT AND COME UP WITH SOME KEY FINDINGS AS WELL. SO WHAT YOU HAVE IN THE REPORTS ARE BASICALLY ANSWERS TO FOUR. RESEARCH QUESTIONS NUMBER. WE ASKED ALL THE STAKEHOLDERS INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL. WHAT WAS THEIR PERCEPTION AROUND SAFETY, SECURITY AND CRISIS PREPAREDNESS AT THE DISTRICT. SO THAT WAS THE MAIN QUESTION. WHAT IS THE PERCEPTION? WE WANTED TO UNDERSTAND THAT PERCEPTION. AND THEN WE ALSO ASKED THEM TO PROVIDE US WITH RECOMMENDATIONS YOU KNOW, AROUND. SAFETY BUT MENTALLY FOR IMPROVING SECURITY AND CRISIS PREPAREDNESS AND THAT THESE THINGS, SO WE ASKED THEM TO PROVIDE US WITH THEIR RECOMMENDATION. SO THOSE WERE THE TWO MAJOR RESEARCH QUESTIONS THAT WE ANSWER. BUT IN ADDITION TO THAT, AS I MENTIONED, WE ALSO REVIEW WHAT WERE THE MOST COMMON TYPE OF THREAT ASSESSMENTS. CONDUCTED DURING THE 2021 2022 SCHOOL YEAR. CPS SO YOU WILL HAVE THAT IN THE REPORT, AND WE PROVIDE ANSWERS TO THAT. AND LASTLY, WE LOOK AT THE DISCIPLINE DATA LOOKING AT THE MOST DANGEROUS TYPE OF OFFENSE

[01:50:05]

AND INCIDENT THAT TOOK PLACE, INCLUDING TRUCK RELATED OFFENSES THAT OCCUR OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS AND WANTED TO HAVE SOME BASELINE DATA. SO YOU HAVE THAT IN THE REPORT. I BELIEVE THAT.

THIS WILL NOT TALK TO YOU ABOUT SOME OF THE KEY FINDINGS. WHAT WAS VERY INTERESTING IN THE SOME OF THE KEY FINDINGS THAT WE HAVE IN THE REPORT THAT WE'RE ALREADY SEEING THAT DURING THE MEETING SO AROUND PERCEPTION, AND SO AND WHAT WE NOTICED WITH OUR STAKEHOLDERS IS THAT THEY DO FEEL THAT WE'RE PREPARED. HOWEVER WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE ALWAYS PREPARED THAT THEY RECOMMENDED THAT WE CONDUCT MORE TRAINING, ESPECIALLY SINCE WITH COVID. MANY OF OUR TEACHERS AND OUR STUDENTS WERE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE NEW BUILDINGS. SO IF YOU CAN IMAGINE IN MIDDLE SCHOOL, THEY WENT HOME AS AS 1/7 GRADER AND CAME BACK AS 1/9 GRADER IN A HIGH SCHOOL AND A BUILDING THEY MAY NOT HAVE BEEN. FAMILIAR WITH SO THAT WAS VERY IMPORTANT. THEY DID REALLY TALK ABOUT COMMUNICATION AND LOOKING AT A WAY THAT WE CAN COMMUNICATE. GET THAT MESSAGE OUT QUICKLY AND ACCURATELY TO COMMUTE. GUESS COMBAT THE RUMOR MILL IF YOU WILL. UM THAT WE REALLY NOTICED THAT ONE THIRD OF OUR RESPONDENTS THEY GENERALLY FEEL SAFE, AND THAT'S A GOOD INDICATION TWO THIRDS OF THOSE RESPONSIBLE LEAVE THAT WE ARE PREPARED AS THAT WAS NOTED. AND THEY DO NOTE THAT WE DO HAVE A NEED FOR FREQUENT TRAINING. UM AND THAT'S WHAT WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT HAVING MORE TRAINING, MORE FOCUSED TRAINING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE PREPARE OUR BUILDING.

WHICH IS WHY DR CARPENTER IS HERE WITH US TO SUPPORT THOSE PIECES. TRAINING WAS A BIG TOPIC. SO JUST TO PROVIDE SOME UPDATES, UM OF PROJECTS AND, UM THINGS THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON AS A GROUP AS BOTH THE WORKGROUP OUR SAFETY WORK GROUP , AS WELL AS INFORMATION THAT WE RECEIVED FROM OUR FOCUS GROUPS AND SO OF COURSE, WE HAVE THE RESTRUCTURING OF THE OFFICE OF SAFETY AND SECURITY. WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF HIRING FOR THESE POSITIONS. NOW THE TWO REGIONAL SAFE LIAISON POSITIONS WHICH WERE POSTED AND INTERVIEWS. OUR FORTHCOMING NEXT WEEK FOR THOSE POSITIONS AND THEN WE'LL MOVE ON TO HIGHER FLOATERS AS WELL AS OUR SCHOOL BASED SCHOOL SAFE LIAISONS AS WE CONTINUE TO INCREASE MANPOWER IN THE AREA OF SAFETY AND SECURITY, WHICH, AS YOU LOOK AT THE UM, THE DIAGRAM OF ON THE SCREEN. IT WILL EFFECTIVELY TRIPLE THE SIZE OF OUR SAFETY AND SECURITY DEPARTMENT AS IT STANDS RIGHT NOW. AS NOTED, PRIOR, OUR WORKGROUP FOCUSED ON RESOURCES FOR OUR SCHOOLING BASED ADMINISTRATORS CURRENTLY ARE QUICK GUIDE. WE'RE VERY EXCITED , THEY REVIEWED AND REVISED THAT RESOURCE THEY REALIZE THAT THE CONTENT WAS RELEVANT. HOWEVER, THE PRESENTATION OF THE CONTENT WAS NOT USER FRIENDLY. THE GROUP DEVELOPED A CONSISTENT VISUAL FRIENDLY STRUCTURE TO PRESENT THE INFORMATION SO ADMINISTRATORS CAN QUICKLY REFER TO AND RESPOND TO CRITICAL INCIDENTS. EACH PAGE OF THIS RESOURCE WAS ALSO REVIEWED BY SELECT ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS AT ALL LEVELS. ELEMENTARY MIDDLE AND HIGH TO ENSURE THE RESOURCE WAS ACCURATE, AND WE'RE EXCITED TO REPORT THAT. NOT ONLY IS IT REVISED IT IS IMPROVED, BUT OUR DISTRIBUTIONS PLANNED JULY ONE, ALONG WITH TRAINING. JUST TO GIVE A QUICK PICTURE OF WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE BEFORE. AS YOU NOTICE. IT IS MORE OR LESS. A LIST OF THE CONTENT AS WE MENTIONED WAS FANTASTIC, HOWEVER , THE FORMAT THAT IT'S PRESENTED IT IS NOT NECESSARILY IN SEQUENTIAL ORDER, WHICH MEANS THE ADMINISTRATOR HAS TO SLOW DOWN. AND FIGURE OUT WHAT SHOULD COME FIRST. AND WHEN THIS PRESENTATION IS ALSO HARD TO READ, ESPECIALLY AS WE GET A LITTLE OLDER, IT'S A LITTLE TINY , AND WE WANTED TO MAKE IT A LITTLE BIT MORE USER IN VISUALLY FRIENDLY FOR ADMINISTRATORS SO THIS IS A BASIC LAYOUT OF WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE AFTER WE'RE CURRENTLY WORKING WITH OUR COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE TO GET IT TO POP A LITTLE BIT MORE, BUT WHAT YOU'LL NOTICE IS THAT OBVIOUSLY THE TITLE IS NICE AND LARGE AND THE REASON IT SAYS INDOOR EARTHQUAKE IS NOT BECAUSE EARTHQUAKES HAPPEN INDOORS. IT'S BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE THE POPULATION IS. SO IF YOUR POPULATION OF STUDENTS AND STAFF FOR INDOOR THAT'S YOUR RESPONSE . IF THEY'RE OUTDOOR, IT IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT. UM IT DOES PREVENT THE INFORMATION IN A SEQUENTIAL ORDER. YOU'LL NOTICE THAT FIRST STATEMENT TELLS THE ADMINISTRATOR EXACTLY WHAT TO DO . IF THAT'S HAPPENING, YOU NEED TO LOCK THE BUILDING DOWN. IT IS A DIRECTIVE. THE REVISED BOOKLET ALSO USES A CONSISTENT VISUAL STRUCTURE. FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU SEE THOSE THREE BOXES IN THIS RESOURCE WHENEVER YOU SEE THAT NOTIFY, AND THOSE BOXES THAT YOU'LL SEE THAT WE'VE GOT TO CALL THE S R O FACILITIES, ASO S LINES OF THOSE ARE ALL IN THOSE PIECES. ANY IMPORTANT FACTORS THAT THE ADMINISTRATOR MUCH MUST REMEMBER, WILL BE IN A BOX LIKE FORMAT DOWN LOWER IN THE PAGE, FOR EXAMPLE, THAT IF THE POPULATION IS SHELTERING IN PLACE, MAKE SURE YOU STAY AWAY FROM GLASS, ETCETERA.

DIRECTIONS FOR EVENTS WHICH OCCUR WHEN STUDENTS ARE INDOORS AND OUTDOOR BECAUSE THAT MAY LOOK VERY DIFFERENT IN THAT REGARD. SO THAT'S WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE AFTER. WE'VE HEARD TIME AND AGAIN THAT TRAINING IS A CRITICAL PART OF THIS PROCESS. AND SO WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE TO INVEST TIME IN OUR STAFF TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE ADEQUATELY PREPARED. FOR ANY TYPE OF EVENT THAT MAY OCCUR AND PREPARATION IS THE KEY. AND JACKIE, WHO WAS MY PREDECESSOR. TARBERT UM I INHERITED OF REALLY SOLID FOUNDATION AND PLAN FROM HER AND NOW THE GOAL IS TO MOVE IT FORWARD AND TO CONTINUE TO HELP IT TO EVOLVE. THE THING ABOUT TRAINING WITH THIS THAT I'VE LEARNED FROM MR BROOKS OVER TIME IS THAT IT NEEDS TO BE ONGOING. IT HAS TO EVOLVE AND IT NEEDS TO CONTINUOUSLY IMPROVE. AS WE LEARN MORE. WE NEED TO BRING MORE IN AND SO YOU'LL SEE TWO THINGS ONGOING AND IN PROGRESS, UM, WITH REGARD TO OUR SYSTEM, SO WE DO HAVE ANNUAL TRAINING FOR ALL STAFF IN THE AREAS OF TITLE NINE. HARASSMENT AND BULLYING AND USED SUICIDE. AND IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU'RE ENTERING YOUR 27TH YEAR LIKE I AM OR YOUR FIRST YEAR YOU GET THOSE TRAININGS EACH AND EVERY YEAR AS A REMINDER OF THE PROCESSES AND PROCEDURES WE NEED TO TAKE PLACE. ALSO WITH REGARD TO MENTAL HEALTH AND PERSONAL SAFETY. THE ELECTRONIC BULLYING AND HARASSMENT FORM IS ACCESSIBLE TO ALL STAKEHOLDERS IN OUR ORGANIZATION IF THEY NEED TO REACH OUT AND USE IT. AND WE ALSO HAVE GREAT RESPONSIVE, PROFESSIONAL LEARNING AND COLLABORATION WITH OUR OFFICE OF STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES AND IN SPEAKING WITH THEM. WE HAVE A LOT OF THINGS MOVING RIGHT NOW. WE HAVE A DEDICATED MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS AND SPECIALISTS THROUGH CHRISTINA ALTON. WE NOW HAVE A DIRECTOR OF HEALTH AND WELLNESS, WORKING WITH OUTSIDE AGENCIES AND PARTNERSHIPS TO BRINGING THEM INTO THE SCHOOL SYSTEM. WE ALSO HAVE QUITE A BIT OF TRAINING THAT'S OCCURRING OVER THE SUMMER SCHOOL BASED THREAT ASSESSMENT TRAINING RISK AFTER HARM TRAINING RISK FOR VIOLENCE ASSESSMENT. THOSE WILL ALL BE PART OF A SUMMER SAFETY SYMPOSIUM WILL BE HOLDING FOR ALL ADMINISTRATORS IN JULY AND AUGUST. THE TRAUMA RESPONSE MANUAL TRAINING IS PROVIDED TO ANY NEW STUDENT SUPPORT STAFF AND ADMINISTRATORS. AND THEY'RE CONSTANTLY UPDATING AND REFRESHING THAT MOVING FORWARD AND MISS ALTON AND OTHER STUDENTS SUPPORT STAFF WILL PROVIDE TARGETED MENTAL HEALTH TRAININGS TO THE COMMUNITY AND SCHOOL STAFF THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. AS I MENTIONED WE HAVE A SUMMER SAFETY SYMPOSIUM AND THAT WILL BE FOR ALL LEADERSHIP IN OUR DISTRICT, AND THAT WILL HAPPEN ON JULY 11TH IN AUGUST 3RD. WE HAVE SEVEN SESSIONS, WHICH WILL FOCUS ON A CERTAIN AND THREAT ASSESSMENT TRAINING FOR ALL ADMINISTRATORS. SAFETY QUICK GUIDES, THE DOCTOR GEHRINGER JUST REFERENCED AND TREATING PEOPLE IN THE REUNIFICATION PROCESS. THAT IS WHEN SOMETHING A CRITICAL INCIDENT HAPPENS. HOW DO WE REUNIFY FAMILIES WITH THEIR STUDENTS? UM THE LEGAL EAGLE, UM , ARE NEWLY APPOINTED ATTORNEY. MS. NEAL AND OUR RISK MANAGER WILL BE ADDRESSING REAL LIFE QUESTIONS THAT ARE ADMINISTRATORS HAVE AROUND LEGAL ISSUES REAL TIME. IS GONNA BE A REALLY TERRIFIC SESSION, ADDRESSING BIFF AND MEAN GIRL BEHAVIORS, WHICH IS ALL ABOUT BULLYING AND HARASSMENT AND WHAT TO DO AS ADMINISTRATORS WITH BULLYING AND HARASSMENT IN SCHOOLS. DR. STANTON IS LEADING THAT SESSION. ALONG WITH SOME STUDENTS SUPPORT SERVICE OF STAFF, STUDENT DISCIPLINE AND SPECIAL EDUCATION PROCEDURES.

SCHOOL BASED THREAT ASSESSMENT, 101, AND AS OF TODAY, WE ADDED A SESSION ON TRANSPORTATION SAFETY. WE HAVE BUS ISSUES AS WELL. THAT HAPPENED AND WE WANT TO PREPARE ADMINISTRATORS TO REALLY BE ABLE TO DEAL WITH THOSE ISSUES AS WELL. WE ALSO HAVE ONGOING TOPICS. THOSE ARE BROUGHT TO MONTHLY LEADERSHIP MEANS WHAT MR BOOKS THEY'RE GOING TO SHOW YOU AN EXAMPLE OF THAT IN JUST A FEW MOMENTS AND THEN ONGOING, CONSISTENT, CONSTANT COLLABORATION BETWEEN MULTIPLE OFFICES AS YOU CAN EVEN SEE HERE. FROM THE TEAM THAT STACY AND DONOVAN LEAD TO THESE CONVERSATIONS. IT'S A CONTINUAL WORK IN PROGRESS. IN ADDITION FROM THE FINDING SAFETY DRILLS AND TRAINING WAS ANOTHER PIECE AND SO ON GOING AGAIN THE REGIONAL SAFETY MANAGERS AS THEY'RE DEPLOYED INTO OUR SCHOOLS, MR BROOKE'S VISION IS THAT THEY WILL HELP TO SUPPORT ADMINISTRATORS WITH THOSE SAFETY DRILL PRACTICES, SO GOING IN AND EVALUATING, PROVIDING SUPPORT, PROVIDING INSIGHTS AND FEEDBACK. WILL BE A PIECE OF THAT WE CONDUCT THE ACER TRAINING ANNUALLY. WE GET THAT EVERY MEMBER OF OUR STAFF HAS THAT AS NEW PEOPLE ARE ON BOARD. IT'S PART OF OUR NEW HIRES, ORIENTATION AND SUPPORT. AND WE ALSO REVISIT THOSE WITHDRAWALS IN PRACTICE IS THAT THE BUILDING BASED LEVEL AND THEN THE REUNIFICATION IN RESPONSE TEAMS MOVI AND SO PART OF OUR IN PROGRESS TRAINING IS MAKING SURE THAT WE TRAIN OUR BUILDING BASED STAFF IN THE REUNIFICATION PROCESS AND PROCEDURE AND CONDUCT A REUNIFICATION SIMULATION. THIS PAST WINTER. WE'VE TRAINED ALL OF OUR CENTRAL OFFICE STAFF IN THE REUNIFICATION PROCESS. NOW THE NEXT STEP IS FOR OUR SCHOOL BASED ADMINISTRATORS TO BE TRAINED IN THAT PROCESS. PART OF THAT PROCESS THAT I'M VERY EXCITED TO SHARE WITH YOU IS

[02:00:06]

WHAT'S CALLED A ROCK BOX, AND WE WERE GOING TO ACTUALLY DRAG IT IN HERE THIS EVENING, BUT WE THOUGHT IT PICTURE MIGHT BE BETTER FOR YOU TO SEE WE HAVE TWO OF THESE WHICH STAND ABOUT YAY! TALL THEY'RE VERY LARGE. BUT IN THAT BOX CONTAINS ALL OF THE RESOURCES AND MATERIALS THAT WE SHOULD NEED IF WE NEED TO CONDUCT A REUNIFICATION. UM EXERCISE NOW, AND SO THOSE BOXES SIT AND MR BROOKS'S OFFICE AND IF NEED TO BE DEPLOYED, HAVE ALL OF THE RESOURCES THAT WE NEED TO IMPLEMENT A REUNIFICATION PROCEDURE. SHOULD WE NEED IT AND JUST A HUGE, HUGE, HUGE SHOUTOUT TO LORI GOLDING HEARST IN THE CURRICULUM OFFICE, WHO NOT ONLY ORDERED ALL OF THESE MATERIALS, SHE ALSO PUT THEM TOGETHER INTO THE ROCK BOX AND MADE SURE THAT THEY WERE READY TO GO FOR US MOVING FORWARD. SO THE TRAINING PIECE IS A VERY IMPORTANT PART OF WHAT WE DO, BUT THERE ARE SOME OTHER INTERNAL THINGS THAT WE ARE DOING AS WELL MOVING FORWARD. MOVING FORWARD. WE ARE WORKING ON OUR ELECTRONIC CRITICAL INCIDENT REPORTING FORM WHEN AN INCIDENT HAPPENS. HOW ARE WE GOING TO REFLECT? HOW ARE WE GOING TO SUPPORT? SO WITH THIS NEW ELECTRONIC REPORTING SYSTEM IT WILL NOW INCLUDING A REPORT FOR EACH CRITICAL INCIDENT. THIS DATA WILL BE CAPTURED AND DISTRIBUTED QUICKLY TO KEEP PERSONNEL. THEN THE DATA WILL BE ANALYZED AND PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS TO PROVIDE FEEDBACK . RECOMMEND NEXT STEPS. OFFICE OF TECHNOLOGY IS REVISING THE ELECTRONIC FORM NOW IN THE ESTIMATED IMPLEMENTATION IN SEPTEMBER, 2022. AS A PART OF OUR ONGOING EFFORTS, UM, TO PROVIDE INFORMATION TO OUR PARENTS AND OUR STUDENTS. WE CONSTANTLY COLLABORATE WITH OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT PARTNERS IN A SERIES OF REAL TALKS THAT WE DO THROUGH THE GUIDANCE OF MISS STAPLETON THROUGH THE PARENT ACADEMY, REAL TALKS AND WE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A VERY GOOD DISCUSSION ON SOCIAL MEDIA , RESPONSIBLE USE AND GIVING PARENTS, UM POINTERS AND IDEAS ON HOW THEY CAN KEEP THEIR CHILDREN SAFE. HOW THEY CAN ALSO CUT DOWN ON THE RUMOR MILL BECAUSE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE ALSO HEARD THROUGHOUT STAKEHOLDER GROUPS WAS, YOU KNOW, HOW DO WE GET AHOLD OF, YOU KNOW STUDENTS RESPONSIBLY USING SOCIAL MEDIA AND THEIR AND THEIR MOBILE DEVICES, SO LOTS OF INFORMATION AND TIPS WERE GIVEN THE PARENTS DOING THAT, AND THIS IS ONGOING WHERE WE HAVE OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT PARTNERS COME IN, AND THIS WAS JUST ONE SEGMENT AND THEN WE HAD OTHERS. SO WE HAD OUR S. R O. S WHO CAME IN WHO? UM AND WE HAD OUR SS LS NUMBER OF SS LS ALSO WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE REAL TOPS AND YOU KNOW, KIND OF CLEARED UP WITH THE RESPONSIBILITIES ARE OF SORROWS INSIDE THE SCHOOL TO SUPPORT THE CLIMATE, CULTURE AND SAFETY IN OUR SCHOOLS. ALSO WE KNOW THAT BULLYING, UM IS A RECURRING THEME. SO WE ALSO HAD OUR S R. O S TALK ABOUT THAT REPORTING SYSTEM AND HELPING TO MEDIATE THOSE SITUATIONS. BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, THE IMPORTANCE OF THOSE TYPES OF MATTERS BEING REPORTED TO US ROSE NOT NECESSARILY FOR THEM TO TAKE ANY IMMEDIATE STEPS OR ACTIONS. BUT TO HAVE THAT YOU KNOW ON THEIR RADAR SO THAT THEY CAN INTERVENE BE JUST CLOSE ENOUGH TO INTERVENE WHEN NEEDED AND JUST FAR ENOUGH BACK TO ALLOW ADMINISTRATORS IN OUR SCHOOL STAFF TO DO WHAT THEY DO. AND THEN, OF COURSE, AS WE'VE COME BACK INTO THE BRICK AND MORTAR BUILDINGS, AND WE GRADUALLY COME BACK IN FOR A FULL SCHOOL YEAR.

SEE SOMETHING SAY SOMETHING NOW MORE THAN EVER. UM IT'S ALWAYS IMPORTANT, BUT OF COURSE NOT MORE THAN EVER. SO JUST, UM, YOU KNOW, REITERATING THAT MESSAGE TO OUR STUDENTS AND OUR PARENTS AND NOT TO LEAVE ANYTHING TO CHANCE. SO RECENTLY, WE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO INVITE IN THE STATE'S ATTORNEY'S OFFICE. WE HAD THE DEPUTY STATE'S ATTORNEY , GAVIN PROTECTIONIST. WE ALSO HAD MEMBERS FROM THE CHILD ADVOCACY CENTER AS WELL AS REPRESENTATION FROM ALL OF OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT PARTNER AGENCIES TO COME IN AND SPEND, UM, 90 MINUTES WITH OUR ADMINISTRATORS.

UM AND ANSWER QUESTIONS WE HAD Q AND A. THEY PROVIDED LOTS OF GOOD INFORMATION. THEY PROVIDED INFORMATION ON SOME OF THE NEW LAWS THAT EDUCATION LAWS THAT IMPACT YOU KNOW OUR SCHOOLS AND OUR STUDENTS, SO THEY TALKED ABOUT SOME OF THOSE LAWS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN SIGNED SOME OF THOSE BILLS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN SIGNED INTO LAW AND SOME OF THEM THAT ARE FORTHCOMING TO BUILD CAPACITY. UM AND OUR LEADERSHIP TEAM AND HCPS SO THAT WE'RE PREPARED TO EVOLVE AND CHANGE AND YOU KNOW WHAT THE INFORMATION IS IN THE DUES AND DON'T. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT, UM, IN OUR LAST THE LAST TIME WE WERE BEFORE THIS BOARD WAS THE CREATION OF OUR STUDENTS SAFETY COUNCIL AND I'VE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO MEET WITH DR STANTON SO WE CAN START TO FORMULATE. WITH THAT WILL LOOK LIKE AND BE ABLE TO RECRUIT OUR STUDENTS WHEN THERE'S SCHOOL STARTS IN THE FALL, SO THAT WE CAN HAVE OUR MEETINGS WITH OUR STUDENTS AND HELP THEM CONNECT AND HELP THEM, YOU KNOW. COME TO THE TABLE WITH THEIR STRATEGIES AND IDEAS ABOUT WHAT SAFETY AND

[02:05:05]

SECURITY LOOKS LIKE TO THEM AND GIVE THEM A VOICE AND SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE DOING, TOO, BECAUSE IT IS ABOUT THEIR WELL BEING. SO AGAIN, WE GO BACK TO, YOU KNOW, WITHOUT CORE BELIEFS ARE AND YOU KNOW, WE TAKE IT RIGHT BACK TO WHAT HAVE WE DONE? WHAT ARE WE DOING? AND WHAT DIRECTION WE'RE GOING IN AND AGAIN, WE'RE DOING HARD. OUR SAFETY FIRST TO KEEP OUR SAFE LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS, MAKING SURE WE PREPARE MAKING SURE WE ARE PREPARED TO REACT IN THE EVENT. WE DO HAVE A SITUATION AND ALSO HAVING OUR ONGOING TRAINING, AS DR CARPENTER ALREADY TALKED ABOUT. AT THIS TIME, ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS? ALRIGHT, HERE WE GO. LOTS OF QUESTIONS. I HAVE LOTS OF QUESTIONS. I'M GONNA LET THEM START START FIRST. DOCTOR MILLER. YOU MENTIONED THAT THIS WOULD BE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC. THE CRISIS PREPAREDNESS REPORT. WHERE IS IT GOING TO BE LOCATED? WHERE SOMEBODY GOING TO BE ABLE TO LOOK AND FIND IT? I'M SURE I CAN FIND IT. I JUST WANTED TO HAVE THAT OUT THERE SO THAT THE PUBLIC COULD FIND.

OKAY? BUT IT WILL BE THERE. OKAY THANK YOU. BECAUSE I KNOW THIS IS SOMETHING MANY MANY PARENTS ARE CONCERNED ABOUT RIGHT NOW. AND SO I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU COMING AND DOING THAT. NOW I KNOW THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT ADDING A 20 MORE RESOURCE OFFICERS IS THAT CORRECT SCHOOL SAFE PLAYERS ON JUST OKAY. SORRY S L L S NOT. YES, SSL. YES. UM SO WE'LL EVERY SCHOOL HAVE ONE THEN OR HOW HOW ARE THEY DISTRIBUTED SO WE'LL HAVE FOR OUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS WILL HAVE FIVE FLOATER SLS, AND THE IDEA WOULD BE THAT WE WOULD IDENTIFY SCHOOLS THAT CAN REALLY UTILIZE OUR FLOATERS. FLOATERS ARE PRETTY MUCH REPORT TO THOSE SCHOOLS WHAT THEIR UNDERSTANDING THAT IF THERE IS A NEED FOR THEM IN ANOTHER AREA THAT THEY WOULD RESPOND TO THAT AREA, SO WE'LL HAVE 10 FLOATERS FOR OUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL 10 FLOATERS FOR HIGH SCHOOL AND THEN WE'LL HAVE 10 ADDITIONAL WILL ACTUALLY BE PLACED IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS. OF THAT 20 SCHOOL WILL HAVE? YES OKAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I APPRECIATE IT. I'M JUST GOING TO ASK THE QUESTIONS, AND MISS KARWACKI HAS A QUESTION. HOW MANY ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS DO WE HAVE? THANK YOU. 34 SO WE'LL HAVE 10 AMONGST THE 34 THE KIND OF FLOAT AROUND AND BUT IF DR GUARANTEE YOU NEEDED HIM AT HER SCHOOL, SHE COULD CALL HIM MR COOK NEEDED YES, WE CAN FLOAT MORE THAN ONE THERE. IF IT REQUIRES MORE YES, AND THAT THAT'S THE IDEA, MISS CARAWAY. I WOULD JUST SUGGEST THAT WE PUT THE LINK ON THE MAIN PAGE. BECAUSE THE PARENTS ARE NOT GOING TO GO TO LOOK AT THE AGENDA. IT'S TOO MANY STEPS TO FOLLOW. MAKE IT SIMPLE. PUT IT RIGHT OUT FRONT WHERE THEY CAN SEE IT. THANK YOU. THINGS EVEN BETTER. THAT WOULD BE WONDERFUL BECAUSE IT'S. AND I'VE HEARD THE NEW KINDERGARTENERS COMING IN THAT THEIR PARENTS ARE ASKING ABOUT WHAT SAFETY PROTOCOLS WE HAVE. SO IT'S A REAL BIG CONCERN IN THE COMMUNITY, AND I APPRECIATE THAT. AWESOME.

ALRIGHT, OTHER QUESTION. PHILIPS ANYTHING MR CARDI, I'M GOING TO DEFER TO AND THEN I'M GONNA HAVE QUESTIONS, TOO. UM DR BAUER. ANY QUESTIONS? NO QUESTIONS AT THE MOMENT. UM JUST I'M VERY HAPPY FOR ALL THE PREPARATION THAT WE HAVE HERE, CREATE WORK. THANK YOU, KELLY. UM I HAD A I GUESS.

CURRENTLY RIGHT NOW WE DON'T HAVE ANY SA ROSE ASSIGNED SPECIFICALLY TO ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, BUT WE DO HAVE THREE SORROWS THAT OUR ROVING SORROWS IN THEIR PARTICULAR AREA FOR THEIR CLUSTER OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS WILL RESPOND TO THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS. OKAY AND IS THERE ONE IN LIKE THE NORTHERN PART OF THE COUNTY BECAUSE THEY KNOW OUR SCHOOLS ARE A LITTLE BIT FARTHER AWAY THAN SOME OF THE OTHERS. YES AND THEY'RE CORRUPT AND THEIR CLUSTERS THEY DO HAVE SCHOOLS IN THE NORTHERN PART OF THE COUNTY THAT ARE COVERED. OKAY. THANK YOU. AND JUST TO KIND OF PIGGYBACK ON THAT IF THERE WAS AN ISSUE AT THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, THEN WE COULD OBVIOUSLY SEND SOMEBODY FROM HIGH SCHOOL OVER REQUIRED THAT IT'S NOT THERE WITHOUT A

HOW MANY PRACTICE SO THEY WILL BE THE SO ACCORDING TO THE MARYLAND SAFE TO LEARN AT OUR ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE ALL DRILLS? ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT SPECIFIC PRACTICE STRIPS ALL DRILLS, BUT I'M THINKING OF FIRE DRILLS. I'M THINKING OF JUST BALL DRILLS. YES, ALL OF THE TIN MANDATED DRILLS. ALL THE SCHOOLS WILL BE REQUIRED TO CONDUCT THOSE DRILLS MANDATED, SO THAT WOULD BE ONE A YEAR. NO. ONE OF MY ONE A MONTH, SO THERE'S 10 DRILLS THAT WOULD HAPPEN.

PHILLIPS, UM AND, UM. IN THE PRESENTATION. I NOTICED THAT THE BEFORE AND AFTER IT WAS GREAT BECAUSE IT'S A LOT SIMPLER. AND, UM, I THINK IT WAS ON EARTHQUAKES. SO. WELL. YEAH, I THINK I THINK THAT'S WHAT I SAW . IT WASN'T NOT WAS YES. SO IS THERE A, UM A BOOK OR A FORMAT THAT EACH SCHOOL HAS ON ALL OF THE PRACTICES AND THE WHAT'S CRITICAL AND WHAT EACH ADMINISTRATOR NEEDS TO BE. AWARE OF IN THAT PRACTICE RUNS THE GAMUT IT COULD BE AN ELECTRICAL OUTAGE WOULD BE A ASSERT IT COULD BE A SEXUAL ASSAULT. IT COULD BE TRESPASSING THEIR RESOURCES AVAILABLE FOR US TO TAKE A LOOK AT OR WILL THAT BE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC FOR THAT TO TAKE A LOOK AT BEYOND THE SAFETY AND SECURITY REPORT. I'M JUST CURIOUS. WHAT IS IT? NO, NO, I'M I'M GONNA JUMP RIGHT NOW . WE'RE NOT GONNA MAKE ALL OF THOSE KIND OF THINGS AVAILABLE

[02:15:03]

BECAUSE ONCE THEY'RE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC, AND THEY KNOW IT ALSO LOVES I UNDERSTAND, AND I APPRECIATE THAT. BUT I'M JUST CURIOUS WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE SO THEY MIGHT LET YOU SEE IT WITH THE WITH THE BOARD IS. UM, SO I WAS JUST CURIOUS IF WE'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO SEE THAT. AND THEN, UM THINK YOU HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION HERE. THANK YOU. THAT WAS REALLY, REALLY VERY GOOD. I APPRECIATE YOUR ATTENTION, AND, OH, I KNOW WHAT THE QUESTION WAS . WHAT ABOUT METAL DETECTORS BECAUSE THAT WAS ASKED IN THE PUBLIC COMMENT THAT'S BEEN DISCUSSED AND THROWN AROUND.

WHAT'S OUR THOUGHT AND METAL DETECTORS. WE'VE NOT HAD EXTENSIVE CONVERSATION ON THE METAL DETECTOR PIECE. AND DR WILSON. YOU WANT TO WEIGH IN ON THAT, OR DO YOU JUST WE'RE JUST DEFER TO MR BROOKS. AND THAT'S NOT SOMETHING WE REALLY CONSIDERED UP. OKAY. I WAS JUST WONDERING WAS BROUGHT UP IN THE PUBLIC COMMENT AND OKAY. THANK YOU. RIGHT. I'M GONNA ASK MY QUESTIONS. THEY DIDN'T GET ASKED I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT CHLOE MCCARTHY FROM FALLSTON WOULD LIKE TO BE A PART OF YOUR COMMITTEE BECAUSE SHE WAS THE ONE THAT WAS TALKING ABOUT GIVING STUDENTS AND PARENTS ON THE COMMITTEE. SO I'M JUST THROWING HER NAME OUT AGAIN.

OKAY? ANYBODY WANTS TO DROP THAT ONE DOWN? UM AND THEN I ALSO JUST GOING TO THROW THIS OUT. I AM ASKED AS PART OF MY DAY JOB TO PRINT OUT QUARTERLY. WE CALL IT A DEMOGRAPHIC SHEET THAT IS THE CONTACT INFORMATION. FOR EACH STUDENT. IN MY SCHOOL. IT'S A PAIN AND IT'S REALLY LONG LOT OF PAPER, BUT YOU KNOW IT'S WORTH IT AND WE KEEP IT IN OUR IN OUR JUMP BACK IN OUR GO BACK.

IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE'VE CONSIDERED? IF NOT, I'M JUST THROWING IT OUT THERE THAT MAYBE WE MIGHT WANT TO, BECAUSE IT'S COME IN HANDY FOR US A FEW TIMES. UM, JUST BECAUSE WE'VE HAD SITUATIONS. AT MY OTHER JOB WHERE COMPUTERS DON'T EXACTLY WORK. AND WE'D LIKE TO HAVE CONTACT INFORMATION FOR PARENTS FOR THOSE STRANGE LITTLE EMERGENCIES THAT ARISE. I'M JUST GONNA LEAVE THAT ONE THERE. UM AND THEN YOU WERE MENTIONING THE NEW LAWS THAT ARE COMING INTO EFFECT THAT IMPACT OUR S R O S YES. ARE THE ADMINISTRATORS GOING TO BE BECAUSE THE TWO THAT I HAVE PARTICULARLY IN MIND OR GOING TO IMPACT OUR ABILITY TO CHARGE EVEN IF PARENTS ASK FOR IT, WHICH I THINK IS GOING TO BE SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO HAVE TO BE SHARED WITH PARENTS.

RELATIVELY SOON. UM AND THEN THE OTHER ONE WOULD BE THE ONE ABOUT SORT OF THAT WILL GO INTO EFFECT ON OCTOBER REGARDING INTERROGATION INVESTIGATIONS. WILL OUR ADMINISTRATORS B TRAINED, RETRAINED AND HOW TO KIND OF WORK WITH THAT? YES, SO AS A PRODUCT, SO WE ALREADY STARTED THAT WORK BECAUSE WHEN WE INVITED THE STATE'S ATTORNEY'S OFFICE AND THE DEPUTY STATE'S ATTORNEY, SPOKE AT LENGTH ABOUT THOSE BILLS AND REALLY BROKE THEM DOWN FOR ADMINISTRATORS WHO WERE IN ATTENDANCE. HOWEVER WE HAVE TWO MORE OPPORTUNITIES DURING THE SAFETY SYMPOSIUM THIS SUMMER WHERE WE WILL COVER BECAUSE WE HAVE ALSO INVITED OUR PARTNER AGENCIES TO COME IN. TO PROVIDE UPDATES AND INFORMATION SO THAT WE CAN PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION TO ADMINISTRATORS. WONDERFUL IS THAT JUST JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY IS HAS THERE BEEN ANY CONVERSATION ABOUT HAVING GUESS, MAYBE LIKE AN OPEN FORM. INFORMATION SAFETY NIGHT FOR I MEAN, MAYBE INCOMING KINDERGARTEN PARENTS JUST BECAUSE IT WAS ASKED, BUT YOU KNOW, I MEAN, I'D LIKE TO HEAR MORE ABOUT MY KIDS SCHOOLS AND JUST LIKE, HEY, HERE'S OUR PLAN.

AND IF WE HAD TO DO A REUNIFICATION WITH YOU IN THE HORRIBLE EVENTS THAT MIGHT HAPPEN, AND LET'S PRAY IT NEVER DOES. HERE'S WHERE WE WOULD GO. SO WE'RE IN THE PRELIMINARY STAGES OF PUTTING TOGETHER A TOWN HALL MEETING TO ANSWER TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION FOR YOU. SO WE'RE IN A VERY PRELIMINARY STAGES OF WORKING ON THAT. ALRIGHT ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I'M GOING TO STOP TALKING TO US. WHAT MR BUSH TO YOUR QUESTION ONE OF THE RECOMMENDATION THAT WE HAVE IN THE REPORT AND THIS ACTUALLY CAME. FROM ALL THE STAKEHOLDERS WHO PACKED SO WHAT WE DID WITH THE REPORT. WE DIDN'T INVENT ANY RECOMMENDATION . WE JUST TOOK WHAT THEY SAID, SYNTHESIZE THAT INFORMATION. ONE OF THE RECOMMENDATION WAS IN THE REPORT. SEE IS TO INCREASE THE FREQUENCY OF. OLD SCHOOL AND THIS SPECIFIC. PEOPLE ARE ASKING FOR INCREASING THOSE TRAINING.

NOT THAT BUT THEY WANT MORE OF THAT IS THE FIRST. TOTALLY AGREE . I'M GONNA LAUGH SOME MORE ABOUT THE EARTHQUAKE THING, THOUGH. JUST BECAUSE JUST FUNNY TO ME. UM I THINK THAT'S IT UNLESS ANYBODY ELSE HAS ANY QUESTIONS. NO I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THIS WAS

[02:20:01]

VERY TIMELY. WE REALLY APPRECIATE YOU COMING AND DOING THIS PRESENTATION BECAUSE I JUST FEEL LIKE THE COMMUNITY HAS SOME VERY LEGITIMATE CONCERNS. AND NEEDS TO KNOW WHAT WE'RE DOING TO ADDRESS THOSE. SO THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. ONE THING ALSO, THIS TEAM'S DONE A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF WORK. I DO WANT TO SHARE SOMETHING WHEN YOU WHEN YOU LOOK THROUGH THAT REPORT, AND YOU SEE THE APPENDIX IN, PARTICULARLY WE'VE INCLUDED A LOT. I WOULD SAY THAT FOR SCHOOL SYSTEMS. THAT'S A HARD THING TO THINK ABOUT. DATA IS PROBABLY AVAILABLE. YOU CAN GET IT FROM MSD GET PLACES LIKE THAT. BUT YOU KNOW, ON THE ONE HAND, WE HESITATE TO BRING A LOT OF ATTENTION TO IT BECAUSE IT'S EASY TO CRITICIZE WHEN YOU SEE IT, BUT WE KNOW WE CAN PROVE WE'RE NOT LOOKING AT THIS SHARING US OFFERING IT FOR PEOPLE TO CONSIDER. SO IN THIS CASE WAS THAT IT WAS MORE IMPORTANT. SO YOU MAY HEAR CRITICISMS. YOU MAY HEAR CONCERNS ABOUT THE SAFETY. I MEAN, THIS TEAM HAS DONE AMAZING WORK. VERY PROACTIVE WORK THROUGHOUT, YOU KNOW THE LAST MANY MONTHS. AND WE'RE COMMITTED TO CONTINUING TO LOOK AT THOSE DATA TO SEE WHERE WE CAN MAKE ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS. SO I JUST WANTED TO SHARE THAT WITH A GROUP AND AGAIN THANK ALL OF YOU FOR EVERY THANK YOU. ONE MORE PLUG FOR SCHOOL SAFETY LIAISONS BECAUSE THEY'RE AWESOME. IF IT WE ENJOY ARE LIKE HIM A LOT. OPERATE. ONE MORE MORE. MORE

[I. Discussion on Renaming of Schools]

MORE. HERE WE GO. WE CAN DO THAT. ITEM I DISCUSSION AND DECISION ON PROPOSED NAME FOR WILLIAM PICKLE OLD POST ROAD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, MISS NEIL AND DR STANTON. IT IS YOUR TURN.

PHONE. THANK YOU FOR HANGING IN THERE. BUT I APPRECIATE. ALL RIGHT. GOOD EVENING. PRESIDENT GAUTIER, VICE PRESIDENT MUELLER BOARD MEMBERS AND DR BALLSTON ON MARCH 14TH 2022. THE BOARD MADE A DECISION TO CHANGE THE NAMES OF WILLIAM PACA AND JOHN ARCHER , BECAUSE WE BECAME AWARE THAT THESE INDIVIDUALS OWNED ENSLAVED PEOPLE. AT THAT MARCH MEETING. I SHARED SOME OF THE RATIONALE FOR MAKING THOSE CHANGES SPECIFICALLY, I TALKED ABOUT OUR EQUITY POLICY THAT STATES THAT ENVIRONMENTS FOR STUDENT LEARNING, EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES AND OTHER SCHOOL SPONSORED ACTIVITY SHOULD BE DESIGNED BY THE SCHOOL SYSTEM. SO AS TO BE EQUITABLE, SPARE, SAFE, DIVERSE AND INCLUSIVE. SO DURING THAT DISCUSSION IN THAT LAST MEETING. WE ASSERTED AND WE CONTINUE TO ASSERT TONIGHT. THAT THE OWNING OF ANOTHER HUMAN DOES NOT ALIGN WITH OUR EQUITY POLICY . OUR BOYS STRATEGIC MISSION DOESN'T ALIGN WITH OUR VALUES AS A SCHOOL SYSTEM TODAY. I WOULD GO A STEP FURTHER AND SAY THAT HAVING THOSE NAMES ON THE SCHOOL'S CONTRADICTS OUR EFFORTS TO ADVANCE EQUITY IN ADDITION TO OUR HCPS EQUITY POLICY UM, WELL, IN OUR POLICY, WE ARE REQUIRED TO USE AN EQUITY LENS AND ALL DECISION MAKING THAT MEANS THAT FOR EVERY POLICY PRACTICE DECISION PROGRAM. WE CONSIDER THE IMPACT ON EVERY SINGLE STUDENT. ESPECIALLY ARE MARGINALIZED STUDENT GROUPS. THIS IS A CHALLENGING CONCEPT FOR PEOPLE AS WE OFTEN REVERT TO WHAT IMPACTS US PERSONALLY. WHAT IMPACTS THE MAJORITY. WHAT'S COMFORTABLE WHAT'S BEEN TRADITIONAL. USING AN EQUITY LENS, HOWEVER, MEANS A SHIFT IN THINKING NOT ABOUT OURSELVES ALL THE TIME. BUT ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHOSE VOICES ARE GENERALLY UNHEARD. THE VOICES THAT ARE LEFT OUT. WE HEARD FROM COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO OPPOSED THE NAME CHANGE BECAUSE IT IS TRADITION AND HISTORY, AND WE KNOW THAT CHANGE IS HARD. BUT WE ALSO HEARD FROM COMMUNITY STUDENTS AND STAFF WHO TALKED ABOUT THE IMPACT OF HAVING THE NAME OF A PERSON WHO OWNED OTHER PEOPLE ON OUR SCHOOLS. IT IMPACTS THEIR SENSE OF BELONGING AND SAFETY. THE SAFETY WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT A MOMENT AGO. SO AS YOU CONSIDER OR AS YOU CONTINUE TO GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS OF MAKING THESE CHANGES , I HAVE FULL CONFIDENCE THAT OUR BOARD WILL FULFILL THE PROMISE THAT WE MADE THROUGHOUT EQUITY POLICY. IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR EQUITY POLICY PROCEDURES. WE MADE THAT COMMITMENT. WELL OVER A YEAR AGO. AND WE'VE ALREADY REALLY MADE SOME POWERFUL CHANGES THAT DEMONSTRATE THAT WE WANT TO FULFILL THAT PROMISE AND THAT COMMITMENT THROUGH ACCESS TWO REPRESENTATION. TO CELEBRATION AND OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL STUDENTS. WE HAVE A CHANCE TO MAKE GOOD ON THAT PROMISE. AND I LOOK FORWARD TO US DOING THAT.

SO AS DR STANTON HAS HAS EXPLAINED KIND OF THE BACKGROUND AND THE RATIONALE BEHIND THE DECISION THAT YOU ALREADY MADE TO CHANGE THE NAMES. UM I JUST WANTED TO REITERATE THAT WE DO

[02:25:03]

HAVE A POLICY, WHICH HAS BEEN FOLLOWED SO FAR RELATING TO NAME CHANGES. UM, AND THAT WAS REFERENCED BACK AT THE MARCH 14TH MEETING AS WELL. AND SO AT THIS JUNCTURE AFTER THAT MEETING WHEN YOU ALL VOTED TO CHANGE THE NAME, THERE WAS A 60 DAY WINDOW FOR PUBLIC COMMENT. UM THAT'S 60 DAY WINDOW ENDED ON MAY THE 20TH. SO THAT'S THE REASON WHY WE'RE PRESENTING THIS AGAIN THIS EVENING SO THAT THIS GROUP CAN NOW DECIDE LOOK AT THE NAMES THAT WERE RECEIVED, WHICH THERE WERE 59 TOTAL. COMMENTS RECEIVED PROPOSING DIFFERENT NAMES, AND YOU ALL HAVE BEEN PROVIDED WITH THE LIST OF NAMES FOR THIS EVENING SO THAT YOU CAN DISCUSS AND CONSIDER THOSE NAMES AND THEN, UM, GO AHEAD AND VOTE ON WHAT NAME WILL BE FOR THE NEW THE OLD THE FORMER WILLIAM PECK, OLD POST ROAD ELEMENTARIES. SO WITH THAT, I WOULD SAY BOARD MEMBERS THE LIST THAT MS NEAL JUST REFERENCED HAS BEEN SENT YOU JUST A FEW MINUTES AGO. I MISS RALLO SO THAT YOU HAVE IT UP AT THE TOP OF YOUR EMAIL SO YOU CAN REFER TO IT. UM AND I THINK WE'RE GOING TO GO AROUND AND HAVE SOME COMMENTS AND DO SOME DISCUSSION HERE AND I'M GONNA LET MY PEOPLE COME OPEN UP WITH THAT. I LIKE TO GO ASK ABSOLUTELY ALL RIGHT. WELL, THEN I DON'T HAVE A FIRST. MS KARWACKI. DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS CONCERNS QUESTIONS REGARDING WILLIAM PEAK. I HAVE A COMMON SURE. LEAVE THAT THE ORIGINAL SCHOOL ON THE SITE WAS THE OLD POST ROAD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. AND. LEAVE THAT IS THE NAME THAT WE SHOULD BE USING FOR. BELT 12 DAYS. PRIMARY AND THE INJURY. AND THE PRIMARY INTERMEDIATE JUST FOR THOSE WHO ARE LISTENING IS, UM, THERE ARE TWO BUILDINGS CURRENTLY STILL AT THAT SCHOOL. ONE IS FOR THE YOUNGER KIDDOS. THE CASE ROUTE TO I WANT TO SAY AND THEN THREE THROUGH FIVE IS THE OLDER SCHOOL. INTERMEDIATE. BUILDING THROUGH THROUGH FIVE BUILDING THE CASE. NO. GRADES. THANK YOU, OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE. WE'RE GOOD OLD POSTS ALL POSTS ROAD BECAUSF THIS NATION. IT WAS THE PRIMARY THERAPY FAIR ALONG THE EAST.

WHERE, IN FACT, THE POST WAS TAKEN CARE. WHEN THEY USED TO DELIVER. I LOOKED INTO IT. SHE'S LOOKING AT ME LIKE I'M FUN. I LOOKED ALRIGHT. I'M GONNA FOLLOW THE SAME LIST THAT I HAD EARLIER. SO DR HAROLD ANY COMMENTS REGARDING WILLIAM PICKLE OLD OLD POST ROAD? UM. I GUESS THE ONLY THING THAT WOULD ECHO UM, SONYA'S THOUGHTS. UM WE HAD A BIT OF DISCUSSION BEFOREHAND ABOUT THIS. UM IN OUR SMALL GROUPS. UM AND ALSO, I THINK IN PUBLIC WHERE, UM, WE EMPHASIZE, YOU KNOW. THE SIGNIFICANCE OF OLD POST ROAD UM AND SO I MY COMMENT IS THAT I WOULD FAVOR THAT ONE. BECAUSE OF THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE HISTORY THERE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. MR ROBINSON. I BELIEVE THAT. THE RECOMMENDATION THAT MS KARWACKI MATING IS IN LINE WITH OUR CURRENT POLICY. AND FOR THAT REASON, I WELL, THAT REASON IN OTHERS I AM. I THINK I CAN SUPPORT THAT. SUPPORT THE NAME OF THE OLD POST ROAD. YEAH, THAT'S CORRECT. MY SPEAKING LOUD ENOUGH. ARE YOU? CAN YOU GET A LITTLE BIT CLOSER TO YOUR MICROPHONE? OKAY? OKAY, I OKAY, SO I BELIEVE THAT THE. BETTER PROPOSAL OR RECOMMENDATION MADE BY MS KARWACKI. IS IN LINE WITH OUR WITHOUT CURRENT POLICY. AND AS SUCH, I CAN SUPPORT THAT. READY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

DOCTOR BAUER COMMENTS QUESTIONS DISCUSSION ABOUT WILLIAM PICKLE OLD POST ROAD RENAMING. I ALSO LIKE CALLING THE ENTIRE SCHOOLS TRUST ROAD. UH, ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS AND I HAVE NO OTHER

[02:30:04]

COMMENTS ON THIS ONE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MISS KELLY. I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING THAT'S BEEN SAID I'M I LIKE THE OLD POST ROAD ELEMENTARY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. MR CARDI. I HAVE A QUESTION , AND I'M NOT SURE THAT THIS IS THE TIME TO DISCUSS IT OR NOT, UM DOES THE BOARD IN THE BOARD POLICY? WHAT DOES THE WORD POLICY ABOUT, SAY ABOUT NAMING A SCHOOL AFTER AN INDIVIDUAL? WOW FOR PERSON'S NAME AS AN OPTION. AND IT'S AT PARAGRAPH. IT'S SECTION THREE OF THE POLICY, WHICH HAS BEEN NAMING OF PUBLIC SCHOOL BUILDINGS OR FACILITIES OR PARTS THEREOF. THAT PARTICULAR POLICY SECTION THREE UM. PARAGRAPH THREE C AND IT DOES SAY THAT A PERSON LIVING OR DEAD WHO HAS MADE SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE NATION, THE STATE OF MARYLAND TO HARFORD COUNTY OR THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM BASED ON ANY OR ALL OF THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA. THE CRITERIA IS THERE'S 51 IS OUTSTANDING AND EXCEPTIONAL SUPPORT OF AND SERVICE TO OR ON BEHALF OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS IN THE COUNTY. THE SECOND ONE IS OUTSTANDING CITIZENSHIP AND CHARACTER. THIRD IS GENERAL SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY FOR THE SUPERIOR ETHICAL STANDARDS AND FIFTH IS ANY FINANCIAL DONATIONS MADE BY THE PERSON TO THE SCHOOL SYSTEM.

QUESTION IS. DO WE, AT SOME POINT, WANT TO DISCUSS THE POLICY? BECAUSE A LOT OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WERE BORED FOURTH THAT WERE LOOKED AT AND CONSIDERING OR NAMING AFTER A PERSON. AND SO. CORRECT BUT I'M JUST SAYING IT. DO WE HAVE THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE AS WE ALL SEEM TO BE IN CONSENSUS ON THAT ONE NAME, BUT MOVING FORWARD. I'M JUST SEEMS LIKE THAT SHOULD BE ALSO TOPIC SO I DEFINITELY THINK IT SHOULD BE. BUT UM NO, THAT'S THIS. DISCUSSION RIGHT NOW, AND I KNOW THAT AND THAT'S WHY I'M BRINGING IT UP BECAUSE I JUST HAVE A QUESTION BECAUSE BASICALLY AND I DON'T AND THAT AND THAT IS SOMETHING. YOU CERTAINLY YOU KNOW, TALKED ABOUO WE NEED TO CHANGE THAT POLICY? MAYBE A COUPLE OF OTHERS, BUT IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE COULD MAYBE DISCUSS THIS SUMMER? UM, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT WE'VE GOT TO HAVE PUT THINGS OUT FOR PUBLIC COMMENT AND THINGS LIKE THAT. UM, IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE COULD TALK ABOUT IT ONE OF OUR SUMMER MEETINGS, JULY OR AUGUST, POSSIBLY WILLING TO COME BACK AND TALK TO US ABOUT CHANGING THAT POLICY BECAUSE I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE BOTH OF YOUR OPINIONS ON THE YOU DON'T MIND. THANK YOU.

YOU'RE CONSIDERING CHANGE. RAIN IS YOU'RE MAKING DECISIONS ON SO THAT'S MAIN QUESTION. UM DR MUELLER. SORRY, DR PHIL. YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT THERE. SORRY. MY FINGERS IN THE WAY. I LIKE THE NAME OR POST ROAD FIRST, IT WAS INDEED THE FULL NAME OF THE SCHOOL TO BEGIN WITH, I THINK SO CALLED BACK TO THE FUTURE. IT ALSO MAINTAINS THE LINK. TO THE SCHOOL COMMUNITY. WHETHER THEIR IDENTITY IS NOT BEING TAKEN AWAY FROM THEM. COMPLETELY SO I WOULD SUPPORT THAT. MY ONLY QUESTION IS WHETHER WE WANT TO AFFORD THE SCHOOL COMMUNITY ITSELF TO COMMENT ABOUT IT BEFORE ACTUALLY TAKING A VOTE. I THINK IT WOULD BE I THINK A COURTEOUS MOVE ON OUR PART TO CONSIDER THAT. THIS IS AREA AND I AGREE WITH DR PHILLIPS. ALL RIGHT, DOCTOR MILLER, YOUR TURN. I'M RIGHT THERE WITH YOU ON THE OLD POST ROAD ELEMENTARY. UM, I DO THINK THAT'S A GOOD CHOICE OF NAMES.

UM AND I ACTUALLY THINK THAT WE DO NEED TO RENAME THE SCHOOL FROM THE ASPECT THAT YOU SAID THEY HAD TO HAVE, UM, OUTSTANDING MORALS AND ETHICS AND SO FOR MANY PEOPLE LOOKING AT IT NOW WE'RE JUDGING THEM THROUGH A DIFFERENT LENS THAN THEY HAD BEEN JUDGED THROUGH IN THE PAST. SO I DO FEEL THAT IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT THIS NAME CHANGE TAKES PLACE, NOT BECAUSE I'M TRYING TO TAKE AWAY FROM THE IMPORTANCE OF WILLIAM PAGA BECAUSE HE WAS AN IMPORTANT PERSON. BUT IT DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT THROUGH THE MORAL AND ETHICAL ONES THAT WE HAVE TODAY. UM AS FAR AS I MEAN. HE HAS BEEN OPEN FOR COMMENT FOR 60 DAYS. I'M JUST GOING TO SAY THIS. AND UM THERE WERE NOT A NOT A LOT OF RESPONSE FROM THE SCHOOL

[02:35:02]

COMMUNITY. AS FAR AS THE NAME CHANGE GOES, AT LEAST NOT PEOPLE THAT PUT IN NAMES FOR THE NAME CHANGE. WELL I'M NOT AGAINST POSTPONING IT TO GIVE THEM MORE TIME. I'M NOT QUITE SURE WHAT'S PURPOSE THAT WOULD SERVE. SO THAT'S MY COMMENT. THIS WILL COMING UP. I LIKE THOSE POST ROAD. THREE UM AND IT WOULDN'T BE JUST KIND OF A SIMPLE FIX. I'M JUST REMOVING TAMPICO FROM IT. THE STUDENTS HAVE SPOKEN, TOO WOULD PREFER DECISION TO BE REACHED. PIERS. HEAR ME CREDIT? AND THE STUDENTS THAT I'VE SPOKEN TO WOULD PREFER DECISION TO BE REACHED WHILE SCHOOL IS STILL IN SESSION. OKAY SO YOU'RE SAYING VOTE NOW, AND YOU ALSO SUPPORT THE OLD POST ROAD TAKEOFF LANDING. OKAY? UM. JUST BECAUSE I WANT TO READ IT OUT LOUD. UM I JUST WANT TO GIVE THE THREE SUGGESTIONS WE MADE WE DIDN'T MAKE WE RECEIVED FROM THE PUBLIC. THAT WERE SPECIFIC TO THE RENAMING OF WILLIAM PICKLE, OLD POST ROAD. THE SUGGESTIONS THAT WE RECEIVED FROM THE PUBLIC WAS IN FACT OLD POST ROAD ELEMENTARY. THE ELIZA PARKER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND THE FRANKLIN L. TULL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. UM, WE ALSO RECEIVED A GREAT NUMBER OF SUGGESTIONS THAT WERE. NAMED AFTER WE DON'T EVEN KNOW WHICH SCHOOL THEY WERE. THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT BECAUSE IT WASN'T MENTIONED, SO THERE WERE A NUMBER OF OTHERS. BUT NONE THAT SPECIFICALLY SAID WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE WILLIAM PICKLE OLD POST ROAD RENAMED TO FILL IN THE BLANK. WE DO APPRECIATE, UM OUR FOCUS AND OUR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS THAT HAVE TAKEN THE TIME TO WRITE INTO US AND TELL THAT TELL US WHAT THAT MEANT TO THEM. UM BE IT POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE AND FOR MAKING THE SUGGESTION DOES ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS? ANY DISCUSSION THEY WANT TO HAVE SPECIFICALLY REGARDING WILLIAM PICCOLO POST, RIGHT? ALRIGHT. JUST ONE AGAIN. MY WHETHER OR NOT FEEL OBLIGATION TO THE SCHOOL COMMUNITY. THE 68 PUBLIC COMMENT. WAS FOR THE PUBLIC. NOW WE'RE BRINGING A NAME TO THEM. WE WANT TO HAVE A FEEL ABOUT THE NAME BEFORE PROCEEDING. I THINK IT'S A COMMENT. I THINK IT'S A COURTESY. THAT THEY DESERVE. THE HABIT IS A DECISION ITEMS. SO IF SOMEBODY WANTS TO MAKE A MOTION REGARDING THAT THAT'S FINE IF SOMEBODY WANTS TO MAKE A UH, MOTION REGARDING JUST MAKING A DECISION THAT'S FINE TO YOU. I AM OPEN TO WHATEVER YOU ALL WANT TO SUGGEST. THIS IS DAVID. I MOVE THAT, UH, WE GO AHEAD AND READING NAME THE ENTIRE SCHOOL, TOO OLD POST ROAD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. NOW. CAN ASK. THANK YOU BOTH. ALRIGHT. WITH THAT. DO I HAVE ANY OTHER? MOTIONS OR AM I ONLY CONSIDERING THIS ONE MOTION AT A TIME? I THINK I AM JUST ONE MOTION AT A TIME. ALL RIGHT. MOTION I WOULD MAKE WOULD KIND OF SUPERSEDE. TWO. PROVE OLD POST ROAD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. CONTINGENT UPON ACCEPTANCE OF THE FULL POSTER COMMUNITY. SURE.

WOULD SAY WE SHOULD RESIST DECISION TODAY. SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THIS SCHOOL IS BECAUSE WHAT PROPOSING REALLY IS NOT AN ENTIRELY NEW NAME FOR THE SCHOOL , AND I THINK THAT THE SCHOOL COMMUNITY BASED UPON I WAS TALKING TO A COUPLE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS THAT WENT TO OLD POST ROAD AND THEIR RESPONSE WAS, YEAH. JUST TAKE THE NAME OFF. I DON'T THINK WE'RE PROPOSING A NEW NAME, NECESSARILY BECAUSE WE'RE JUST REMOVING PART OF THE NAME. AND SO FAR WE RECEIVED THREE SUGGESTIONS OVER THE 60 DAY, PLUS PERIOD OF NEW NAMES, SO I WOULD LIKE US TO REACH A DECISION TODAY. UM. SURE AND THE ONLY THING I WOULD SAY IS THAT THERE ARE A BUNCH OF NAMES BELOW THAT ARE NOT SCHOOL SPECIFIC. SO WE DON'T KNOW WHICH WAS WHICH, LIKE THE ALFRED B. HILTON SCHOOL, AND THERE'S RIGHT? I DON'T WANT TO DISCOUNT THOSE RIGHT? ABSOLUTELY BUT IN REGARD TO IT, YOU KNOW, SPECIFIC SPECIFICITY, AND THIS IS ONE OF THE EXACT SUGGESTION THAT WE DID RECEIVE FROM THE PUBLIC. AND I DO LIVE IN THAT COMMUNITY AND REALLY I THINK IT WILL BE THOUGHTFUL. UM AND NEIGHBORLY FOR THE SCHOOL SYSTEM. TO SAY. THIS IS THE NAME THAT WE'RE

[02:40:03]

GOING TO USE. CONTINGENT UPON APPROVAL BY THE COMMUNITY. IF I MAY? YES HOW DO WE HOW DO WE, UM , WE GO TO THE SCHOOL AND THE PARENTS COME IN AND VOTE. I MEAN, HOW DO WE DETERMINE THAT? GO TO THE PRINCIPAL AND LET HIM LEAD THE DISCUSSION AMONGST HIS COMMUNITY. WITH EMAILS. THIS IS THE NAME THAT'S BEEN PROPOSED BY THE BOARD IS ONE WEEK HAVE ANY IF YOU HAVE ANY CERN'S OR COMMENTS. LET'S HEAR IT AND IF NOT, AS OF UH, JUNE 20TH. THIS WILL BE OUR NEW NAME FOR JUNE, 21ST WILL VOTE ON AND ON THE EVENING OF JUNE 20TH. THINK LOGISTICALLY, THAT'S UNREASONABLE TO ASK AND A SEVEN DAY PERIOD FOR THE PRINCIPLE THAT DO THAT. WOULD BE A DEPARTURE FROM THE POLICY. UM THE POLICY JUST PROVIDES FOR THE 60 DAY WINDOW. UM AND THEN THE VOTE AND THEN THE SUPERINTENDENT RECOMMENDATION AND A VOTE. AND SO THAT THAT WAS WHAT WE WERE FOLLOWING THIS EVENING, SO I THINK THERE WOULD NEED TO BE VERY CLEAR MOTION TO DEPART FROM THE POLICY. IF THAT WAS, UM I GUESS AN ACCOMMODATION. THAT THE BOARD WANTED TO DO. AND I'M NOT AN ATTORNEY AT ALL. OKAY? BUT ON TV NO, NO, DON'T NOR DO I PLAY ONE ON TV. MY QUESTION BEING IS, IT SAYS WE HAVE TO GIVE THEM A 60 DAY WINDOW. IT'S LIMITED TO 60 DAYS BECAUSE WE'VE ALREADY BLOWN THAT. WELL, IT SAYS THAT THE NEXT MEETING THE NEXT MEETING AFTER 60 DAYS. AT YOU TODAY. LAST THEY CLOSED ON MAY THE 20TH. IF THERE WAS A MOTION MADE IT HAPPY A CLEAR MOTION THAT WE'RE MAKING EXCEPTION DEPARTING FROM POLICY. BUT IT'S STILL COULD BE A MOTION THAT WAS MADE. THIS IS JOYCE. I WOULD LIKE TO SECOND DAVID'S MOTION. I THINK IN A SECOND DID IT, BUT YOU CAN THIRD. IT I'D LIKE TO THIRD IT. THERE YOU GO. ALRIGHT WITH THAT I DO HAVE EMOTION HAS BEEN 1ST 2ND AND 3RD. SO I AM GOING TO ASK MISS RALLO AGAIN BECAUSE I WANT YOU TO FEEL LIKE YOU'RE INCLUDED. TWO. PLEASE DO A ROLL CALL VOTE. DR BAUER. YES. DR HAROLD ALL RIGHT? YES.

UNDERWATER KARAKI. COME BACK TO ME, PLEASE MISS KELLY. NO BASED ON. I THINK THE COMMUNITY SHOULD HAVE A DECIDING FACTOR. DR PHILLIPS. NO. THIS RECORDING? NO. MR ROBINSON. YES. MS HOKUM? YES. VICE PRESIDENT MUELLER. NO. PRESIDENT COURIER. BUT YES, HAVE IT. UM, COME BACK IN THIS CAR.

I'M SO SORRY. AND FOR MY COMMUNITY, I HAVE TO SAY NO, OKAY. SURE THAT WE'RE AT IT. WE CAN HAVE A TIE. CAN EMOTIONAL OKAY, HERE WE GO. ALRIGHT, SO THAT MOTION FAILED. SO THEN WE NEED ANOTHER MOTION. BACK TO MY MOTION THAT WE APPROVED THE NAME ALL POST ROAD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

AND. PUT IT OUT TO THE OLD POST ROAD COMMUNITY AND BRING IT BACK HERE NEXT WEEK FOR ABOUT SOME POLICY DEPARTMENT POLICY POLICY. THE WHOLE LET ME JUST BEFORE WE 1ST 2ND, ETCETERA THAT. TELL ME ABOUT THE LEGAL PIECE OF THAT IS THAT SUFFICIENT? IS THAT. SO AT THE FIRST REGULAR BOARD MEETING FOLLOWING EXPIRATION OF THE 60 DAY PERIOD, THE SUPERINTENDENT SHALL PRESENT TO THE BOARD THE LIST OF NAMES SUBMITTED TO THEM BY THE PUBLIC AND SHOW INCLUDE THE NAME WHICH THE SUPERINTENDENT RECOMMENDS. THIS CASE, THE RECOMMENDATION WAS THE DISCUSSION AND A VOTE. THE NAME RECOMMENDED BY THE SUPERINTENDENT MAY BE EITHER TAKEN FROM THE LIST OF NAMES SUGGESTED BY THE PUBLIC, OR IT MAY BE A NAME, WHICH THE SUPERINTENDENT HAS SELECTED INDEPENDENT OF THE PUBLIC LIST. IN THE LATTER EVENT SUPERINTENDENT SHALL PROVIDE A STATEMENT OF REASONS WHY A NAME WAS SELECTED THAT WAS NOT SUGGESTED BY THE PUBLIC.

SUPERINTENDENT SHALL PROVIDE TO THE BORDER LIST OF THE NAMES SUGGESTED BY THE PUBLIC IN ANY OF IT. QUESTIONS ON THE TABLE. ONE IS PROBABLY TWO APPROACHES HERE. YES. THE BOARD. CAN. MAKE A MOTION TO GO OUTSIDE OF HIS POLICY. NOT MISTAKEN TO PRINT THRESHOLD FOR THE VOTE. THERE'S

[02:45:02]

A DIFFERENT THRESHOLD FOR THE VOTE OF THE BOARD GOES OUTSIDE. IF THEY BOARD DOES SOMETHING THAT ISN'T COMPLETELY CONSISTENT WITH THE POLICY. THEY HAVE TO ESSENTIALLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT, BUT I DON'T BELIEVE IT'S JUST A STRAIGHT MAJORITY. IS THAT CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT. THE SUPERMAJORITY ABOUT PLACE. SO MY BOOK? YEAH, I THINK ANOTHER. CIRCUMSTANCE HERE IS. EVEN SUGGESTING BECAUSE OF THEIR DEADLOCKED WE HAVE TO PUSH IT TO ANOTHER MEETING WAS KIND OF A LITTLE POCKET VETO TYPE. ACTIVITY THAT OCCURS. SO BASICALLY THIS QUESTION. SURE.

UM WHAT IS THE BASIS OF US DELAYING, HAVE WE HEARD FROM THE PUBLIC TO REQUEST A DELAY SO THAT THEY MAY HAVE EXTRA TIME TO COMMENTS AND DISCUSS AND MULLET OVER. WHAT IS THE BASIS OF OUR DELAY? BECAUSE I HAVEN'T HAD HEARD ANYTHING. HAS ANYBODY ELSE PRIVY TO A HEARING FROM THE COMMUNITY TO THAT END? YES, I HAVE ALSO, JOYCE. SONIA AND PATRICE BOTH RESPONDED TO THAT.

THE SURGERY. SANYA AND PATRICE ARE BOTH SAYING THAT THEY HAVE PERSONALLY HEARD FROM THE PUBLIC. OKAY THEY'VE HEARD PERSONALLY TO SAY THAT THE PUBLIC SAYING CAN WE HAVE MORE DISCUSSION OR CAN WE HAVE MORE DISCUSSION ABOUT THE NAMES? YOU KNOW, PROPOSED NAMES BECAUSE THE LAST TIME WE HAD A DISCUSSION UM , PUBLICLY, SONIA WAS SHARING THAT OLD POST ROAD WAS HER RECOMMENDATION BECAUSE THE PUBLIC HAD SHARE THOSE THINGS WITH HER, SO WE'RE DELAYING MORE CONFUSED AND I BELIEVE THAT OLD POST ROAD WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMMUNITY. BUT RIGHT NOW, A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE FEELING THAT WE'RE DOING THINGS TO THEM, NOT WITH THEM. BUT AGAIN, MY QUESTION STILL STANDS BECAUSE FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, FOLKS HAVE SHARED THAT THIS IS OLD POST ROAD IS ONE OF THE PRIMARY NAMES THAT THEY WOULD WANT 1 35 WERE DELAYING FURTHER. BECAUSE WE'VE RECEIVED THAT FEEDBACK. WHAT WE'RE SAYING IS. IF THE BOARD AGREES THAT THIS IS WHAT WE WANT TO NAME THE SCHOOL. THE OLD POST ROAD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. THAT WE ADVISE THE COMMUNITY THAT AT THE NEXT MEETING NEXT WEEK, WE WILL BE OFFICIALLY. RENAMING THE SCHOOL OLD POST ROAD. SO THEY DON'T FIND OUT AFTER THE FACT THAT IT WAS ACTUALLY DONE. MM THAT'S NOT WHAT THE PROPOSED LIKE. ROY HAD SHARED. UM HE MADE A MOTION CONTINGENT UPON THE COMMUNITIES APPROVAL. BUT WHAT DOES THAT APPROVAL LOOK LIKE? HOW MANY ARE PEOPLE GOING TO VOTE? HOW ARE THEY GOING TO VOTE? HOW THEY'RE GOING TO SHARE THAT WITH US WHO'S GONNA VOTE? I'M JUST KIND OF THOROUGHLY CONFUSED AT THIS. WE HAVEN'T ADMINISTRATOR IN THE SCHOOL WHO COULD CERTAINLY GET IN TOUCH WITH HIS COMMUNITY AND GET FEEDBACK. WE KEEP WE DO. I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT THAT'S NOT OUR JOB TO HAVE HIM DO THAT. THAT'S THE THING. BUT ALL RIGHT. ARE PRIVY TO ASK HIM. LAST WEEK OF SCHOOL ONCE I GUESS THAT CAN I HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS. YEAH. DAVID HAS HIS HAND UP. SORRY, DAVID, GO FIRST. DAVID, YOU WANT TO GO AHEAD. SURE. OKAY SO MY THINKING ON THIS IS WE HAVE A POLICY OF HOW THIS SHOULD BE DONE. UM. THE POLICY IS BASICALLY WE GET INPUT AHEAD OF TIME WE GET A RECOMMENDATION. UM, WE MAKE A DECISION. IN THIS KIND OF IT. AH I HEAR THAT TO FELLOW BOARD MEMBERS HAVE SAID THEY'VE HAD THEY HAVE HEARD A REQUEST FOR I GUESS. PUBLIC APPROVAL OF THE NAME OR MORE INPUT. UM OKAY? TO ME. THIS IS NOT LIKE JOHN ARCHER SCHOOL WHERE WE'VE HAD A SPECIFIC PUBLIC REQUEST BY THAT ADMINISTRATIVE FIGURE ON BEHALF OF HIS COMMUNITY. FOR SUCH A DELAY. UM. I DON'T KNOW THE DETAILS OF WHO IS REQUESTING IT.

[02:50:05]

UM. I WOULD MUCH RATHER THAT WE SAY WE HAVE HAD INPUT. UM WE HAVE SPECIFICALLY GOTTEN INPUT, SAYING, LET'S DO THIS BEFORE THE SCHOOL YEAR IS OUT. I WOULD MUCH RATHER UH, ON OLD POST ROAD. WE GO AHEAD AND SAY WE HAVE GOTTEN PUBLIC INPUT. WE HAVE UH, HAD COMMUNITY IMPACT ON THIS ACTUALLY, FOR QUITE A WHILE GOING BACK SEVERAL YEARS. LET'S GO AHEAD AND DO THE DECISION ON THE SCHOOL TONIGHT. IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES THAT WE PUT OUT TWO MONTHS AGO. I THINK WE'VE HAD A VOTE, THOUGH IT'S BEEN DEFEATED. WE CAN VOTE AGAINST, YOU CAN MAKE THE SAME MOTION AGAIN WHERE VARIATIONS THEREOF. THAT'S NOT A PROBLEM ON THE TABLE. THAT IS TRUE. SO THE MOTION ON THE TABLE I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO RESTATE IT. I'M SORRY. OKAY, HOLD ON.

LET ME LET ME SEE IN THE NEW JUMP IN IS CARRIED OVER THE MOTION, BUT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THAT WE ARE EXCEPT. AND APPROVED THE NAME OLD POST ROAD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. CONTINGENT UPON SUPPORT FROM THE OLD POST ROAD COMMUNITY. WHAT WE VOTED ON. TWO MONTHS AGO WAS TO CHANGE THE NAME. NOW WE'VE GOT A WHOLE BUNCH. WE GOT SOME NAMES. NOW WE'RE BRINGING IT BACK TO THE COMMUNITY, SAYING THIS IS THE NAME THAT WE CHOSE. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT IT? THAT'S ALL WE'RE ASKING. WE'RE WAITING A WEEK. WE'RE WAITING FIVE YEARS. I GUESS I GO BACK TO THE QUESTION I HAD BEFORE THE WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE? WHAT DOES THE APPROVAL OF THE COMMUNITY LOOK LIKE? HOW ARE WE GOING TO PEOPLE COMING BACK TO US AND SAYS WE'VE HAD NO CONCERNS OR RESERVATIONS OR ANYBODY DISAPPOINTED ABOUT IT. IS THAT SUFFICIENT ENOUGH FOR ME UNDER THIS POLICY, UM, THAT IT MIGHT SUGGEST, SO THE BOARD HAS THE RIGHT TO CHANGE THE NAME IN WHOLE OR IN PART AT ANY TIME. SO IF YOU CHANGE IF YOU VOTE TO CHANGE THE NAME TONIGHT, I BELIEVE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN THEN, IF IT'S CONTINGENT IF THEY CAME BACK WITH A DIFFERENT NAME. YOU WOULD THEN BE VOTING ON A DIFFERENT NAME. THE NEXT YOU KNOW, SO IT WOULD BE A WHOLE ANOTHER. SO I THINK IT WOULD THAN REQUIRE ANOTHER 60 DAY PERIOD UNDER THIS POLICY, SO IN OTHER WORDS, IF THEY CAME BACK, AND THEY SAID DR PHILLIPS, WE DON'T LIKE THAT NAME WE WANT THIS OTHER NAME. EMAIL CAME AND BROUGHT IT UP. YOU KNOW TO THAT, THEN IT WOULD BE ANOTHER 60 DAYS. ON THAT ANYBODY FORESEES THAT? I'M JUST SAYING UNDER STRICTLY STRICTLY UNDER THIS POLICY, BUT REALISTICALLY SPEAKING, I THINK THERE'S PROBABLY UNIFORM. ACCEPTANCE. OF THAT NAME. YOU GOT PRETTY MUCH UNIFORM ACCEPTANCE UP HERE, AND I THINK YOU GET UNIFORM ACCEPTANCE. THAT THROUGH THE COMMUNITY THROUGH OLD POST ROAD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, AND I'M CALLING IT THAT ALREADY. IT'S A COMMON COURTESY. TO TELL. THE SCHOOL OR TO ASK THE SCHOOL. HOW DO YOU THIS IS WHAT WE COME UP WITH. ARE YOU COMFORTABLE WITH IT? HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT IT? AND ASSUMING THERE ARE NO NEGATIVE THOUGHTS OR RESERVATIONS ABOUT IT. THEN. WE WILL VOTE AFFIRMATIVELY PROBABLY 100% APPROVAL NEXT WEEK. SO IF THERE IS A NEW NAME PRESENTED BY SCHOOL COMMUNITY, WHICH THAT'S ALWAYS A POSSIBILITY. THEN WE'D HAVE TO WAIT ANOTHER 60 DAYS. IF WE APPLY THIS POLICY AND SO IF THERE WAS A NEW NAME AFTER THAT PERIOD, WE'D HAVE TO WAIT. ANOTHER 64 CAN ALWAYS SAY THAT WOULD BE UP TO ACCEPT. IT WILL BE UP TO US TO ACCEPT IT OR NOT. THE BOARD DOES NOT HAVE TO CHANGE THE NAME UNDER THIS POLICY THAT THE BOARD, CAN YOU COULD CHANGE THE NAME EVERY WEEK, BASICALLY, UNDER UNDER THIS POLICY. CITED BUT YOU WOULD HAVE TO BE PLEASE, LET'S NOT SUBJECT TO THE 60 DAYS. REALISTICALLY SPEAKING, I DON'T THINK ANYBODY EXPECTS A PROBLEM WITH THIS NAME. I THINK, SINCE WE DON'T EXPECT IT THAT WE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH THE VOTING, COURTESY TO THE COMMUNITY MEMBER WHILE SCHOOLS AND STILL IN SESSION. CAN I MAKE A COMMENT? PLEASE RACHEL, DO YOU MIND IF I MAKE A GO AHEAD? NONE JANSON, JANSON. I SEE YOU, I PROMISE. UM WE HAD A FORMAL REQUEST FROM JOHN ARCHER. AND I JUST THINK IT'S ONLY FAIR TO THIS COMMUNITY . WE DON'T KNOW HOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN WITH JOHN ARCHER. I JUST THINK IN FAIRNESS WE NEED IT'S A BRANDING OF A SCHOOL. IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO GO ON FOR A VERY LONG TIME. I THINK IT'S A COURTESY TO THE COMMUNITY TO JUST GET A CONFIRMATION. THIS IS THE NAME.

WE'RE LOOKING FOR CONFIRMATION. AND I THINK WE'RE GOING TO GET IT. BUT I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE

[02:55:03]

SAYING. THERE'S ALWAYS THAT IF AND THANK YOU. KIMBERLY FOR THAT. CLARIFICATION SO THANK YOU , MR ROBINSON. LET ME LET YOU JUMP IN. THANK YOU, RACHEL. SO I WANT TO GO BACK TO THE POLICY EXCEPT IT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE. OKAY? GIVE ME NOW. THANK YOU. OKAY. I WANT TO GO BACK TO THE POLICY. IF WE. IF WE MODIFY THE POLICY IT THEN BECOMES A NEW POLICY. CAME UP. IS THAT CORRECT, MR NEIL OR. THAT IF WE IF THERE WAS A MODIFICATION TO THE POLICY LIKE A FORMAL MODEL MODIFICATION. IT WOULD GO OUT FOR PUBLIC COMMENT ON THAT AS WELL AND THERE WOULD BE A VOTE ON THAT. THIS IS AN EXCEPTION. WE'RE NOT ASKING TO MODIFY POLICY IS THAT CORRECT? NOT AT THIS TIME. YEAH BUT I BUT BUT AGAIN IF WE. SO WE CAN WE CAN'T . WE CAN'T MAKE AN EXCEPTION TO POLICY AND IT NOT CHANGE BECAUSE WHAT WE WHAT WE IN. IN ESSENCE, WHAT WE DO IS SET PRECEDENT. I HEAR WHAT YOU'RE SAYING JANSA. SO JUST A PARTY. WHAT IF WE WENT AHEAD AND VOTED ON IT? CHANGED THE NAME TO OLD POST ROAD. BUT ASSURED THE COMMUNITY IF THERE'S AN UPROAR THAT WE WILL RECONSIDER CHANGING THE NAME AGAIN, I THINK THEY'RE JUST OPENED UP A CAN OF WORMS AGAIN.

WELL I THINK WE'RE OPENING UP A CAN OF WORMS BY SAYING THAT CONTINGENT UPON THEIR APPROVAL WITH NO CONCRETE MEASURE OF WHAT CONSTITUTES THEIR APPROVAL. I AGREE. I AGREE THIS IS DUE. IT'S AND THAT'S AND THAT'S EXACTLY MY POINT. I MEAN, WE'VE HEARD FROM THE COMMUNITY. INDIVIDUALLY AND IN A PUBLIC FORUM. THEY ARE FAVORABLE TO MAINTAINING ALL PRO STROLL ELEMENTARY. THERE IT SO THERE'S NO REASON FOR US TO BE LABOR. AND MODIFY AND MEND. AH, BYPASS OUR POLICY. THAT IS SOUND AND HAS WORKED IN THIS PROCESS. I THINK WE'VE HAD TWO VOTES FOR A POST ON THERE. IS THAT CORRECT ? WHEN I LOOK AT THAT ONE ALSO HEARD FROM THE COMMUNITY. I KNOW I HAVE. SONJA HAS AND OTHERS.

SHARING THAT, UM, YOU KNOW THEY ARE IN FAVOR OF OLD POST ROAD AND ALL OF US ARE SAYING THE SAME THING TO SAY WE THINK THAT THIS IS A GOOD UH, YOU KNOW, GOOD FOR THE COMMUNITY, A GOOD WAY FORWARD. IS YOU KNOW, ABIDING BY OUR POLICY AND WHAT WE INTEND TO DO WITH OUR VOTE PREVIOUSLY. THERE'S NO REASON TO BE LABOR. IT REALLY ISN'T AGREE. SO LET ME LET ME JUST JUMP IN WITH THIS ONE QUESTION. AND THEN I SEE JOHNSON AND DAVID HAVE THEIR HANDS UP AGAIN. HAS ANYBODY HEARD FROM MR WOODEN? WHO IS THE PRINCIPAL? TODAY TONIGHT. CURRENTLY MR WOODEN. IF YOU'RE LISTENING, AND YOU WANT TO EMAIL ME, I'D BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO READ YOUR EMAIL. MR WOODEN HAS INDEED. RECENTLY. THAT YOU KNOW HE AND HIS STAFF AGAIN. THERE'S NO UNIVERSAL.

OBVIOUSLY NOT EVERYONE AGREES. WE HEARD BUT I BELIEVE THE SCHOOL IS IN SUPPORT OF THIS.

AND MR WOULDN'T INDICATED THAT TO ME. I DON'T KNOW WHAT WOULD CHANGE IN A MESSAGE GOING AT THAT. AS WE'VE HEARD, THAT'S NOT THE SAME STORY. DIFFERENCE HAVING HAD COMMUNICATION. AND IF YOU RECALL THAT, YOU KNOW, HE HAD A CONVERSATION WITH. PARTICULARLY WITH HIS STAFF, AND HE PUT SOMETHING OUT TO HIS COMMUNITY. PRIOR YOU KNOW, BEFORE THIS COMING ON OUR AGENDA THE FIRST TIME WHEN WE MADE THE CHANGE, SO THEY HAVE HAD A LITTLE LONGER TO GIVE THEM PUT INTO THIS AND ENGAGE WITH THIS, SO HE HAS SHARED RESULTS OF THAT WAS, YOU KNOW, THAT'S SOMETHING AT LEAST AGAIN WITH THOSE WHO SPEAKING TO WE KNOW THIS IS JUST NOT UNIVERSAL FOR SUPPORT FOR THIS WEEK FOR DEPTH THROUGHOUT THE COMMENT PROCESS. IT IS SOMETHING I WOULD ALSO SAY FROM JUST FROM A LEGAL STANDPOINT, THE AGENDA NOTING A DECISION WAS MADE PUBLIC PURSUANT TO THE OPEN MEETINGS ACT. UM THE PRIOR DECISION AND ALL OF THE ASSOCIATED DOCUMENTATION, INCLUDING THE POLICY, UM, WAS POSTED DURING THAT 60 DAY PERIOD AS WELL. UM AND AGAIN WAS PART OF THAT SO JUST AGAIN FROM THAT FROM THE OPEN MEETINGS PERSPECTIVE FROM WHAT OUR POLICY SAYS. THIS WOULD BE THE TIME TO MAKE A VOTE AND DOESN'T PROVIDE FOR ANY PARTICULAR CONDITIONS EXCEPTION. SEND SOME COMMENT. THEY SINCE UNFORTUNATELY, I HAVEN'T HEARD. WITH DR BOLSON HAD SAID ABOUT HIS HIS INTERACTION WITH MR WOODEN. THAT IS INDEED THE CASE. THEN UM I

[03:00:03]

WITHDRAW MY MOTION AND RECOMMEND THAT WE RE VOTE ON DAVIDSON. OKAY? DAVID, YOU HAVE YOUR HAND RAISED. WELL, IN LIGHT OF DR PHILLIPS WITHDRAWING HIS MOTION. I GUESS I WILL RE PROPOSE. AH I GUESS I'LL MOVE THAT WE AH SAID THE NEW NAME FOR ONE PICKER SLASH OLD POST ROAD ELEMENTARY TO BE OLD POST ROAD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. ALRIGHT I THINK YOU FADED OUT FOR JUST ONE SECOND, BUT I THINK I GOT THE MOTION AS YOU ARE MAKING THE MOTION THAT WE CHANGE WILLIAM PICKLE OLD POST ROAD TO THE OLD POST ROAD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. YES THE OLD OR OLD. I'M JUST GOING WITH OLDA LEGITIMATE THANK YOU FOR CLEARING THAT UP. I'M SORRY TOO MUCH WITH THE OHIO STATE, ITS SECOND OLD POST ROAD ELEMENTARY. ALRIGHT I HAVE A I HAVE A FIRST AND A SECOND. I'M GOING WITH THIS ONE. MISS RALLO, WE'RE GONNA ROLL CALL VOTE THIS AGAIN. DR BAUER. YES. DR HAROLD YES. MS KARWACKI? YES. MISS KELLY. YES BASED ON OUR CURRENT CONVERSATION. THANK YOU. DR PHILLIPS. YES. MS RICCARDI? YES. MR ROBINSON. YEAH. MISS HOLCOMB? YES. VICE PRESIDENT MILLER. YES.

I APPRECIATE YOU. ALL RIGHT. BUSY, IS HE. SURE HOW WAS EASY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU ALL MOVING ON TO THE NEXT ONE, HOWEVER. DECISION ON PROPOSED NAME FOR JOHN ARCHER SCHOOL. HERE WE GO.

SO SAME CONVERSATION, SAME THINGS. I'M GOING TO GO AROUND THE ROOM AGAIN AND LET ME GO LEFT. AND THIS TIME, MISS KARWACKI IS ASKED TO GO LAST. MISS MISS HOLCOMB, DO YOU WANT TO GO FIRST? YOU WANT JUST SOMEWHERE IN MIDDLE LAST OH, MY LORD. OKAY. DR. BAUER, YOU'RE GOING FIRST. OKAY? UM SO I WILL START OFF BY SAYING OF THE SUGGESTED NAMES. I THINK I HAVE A SLIGHT PREFERENCE FOR CENTER FOR EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENT AT CAMPUS HILLS. UM HOWEVER, I DON'T HAVE A STRONGER FOR PREFERENCE ON THE SCHOOL AND I'M ALSO OPEN. TO AH, POSTPONING THE DECISION ON THIS ONE, UH, AFTER WE'VE DISCUSSED NAMES MORE AS REQUESTED BY THE PRINCIPAL EARLIER. OKAY? I HEAR THE GIGGLING ALREADY. DR HAROLD, WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE YOUR COMMENT? DON'T SOUND SO HAPPY ABOUT IT, RACHEL. I'M TRYING NOT TO LAUGH BECAUSE SONIA'S GIGGLING AND IT'S JUST IT'S ABOUT TO GET UGLY HERE. OKAY I THINK IT'S TIME, OKAY? UM. ALL RIGHT. A COUPLE OF THOUGHTS. UM I THINK THAT CENTER WELL, LORD, HELP ME. UM. I THINK CENTER FOR EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENT. CAMPUS HILLS IS A MOUTHFUL. I THINK IT'S A BIT TOO LONG. UM I DO LIKE CAMPUS HILLS SCHOOL. I REALLY DO. UM I APPRECIATE ALL THE COMMUNITY FEEDBACK. UM I WOULD LIKE THE ARCHER SCHOOL TO BE TAKEN OFF THE TABLE. I THINK THAT IS A DEPARTURE FOR WHAT WE VOTED ON. UM AH TO ACCOMPLISH WITH THE NAME CHANGE. UM AND I HAD A QUESTION. UM DO WE DO WE KNOW, UM, WHICH OF THESE ON THE LIST? UM SO HARTFORD SCHOOL OF SPECIAL EDUCATION ROD EWING SCHOOL, THOMAS RUN ROAD SCHOOL, CAMPUS HILL SCHOOL, RANDY GEIR. OKAY, PRINCIPLE. OH MY GOODNESS . GREAT, RANDY! OH HEART SCHOOL, JACKIE HA! CENTER. SLASH SCHOOL SLASH ACADEMY, THE ARCHER SCHOOL SLASH ACADEMY ALFRED B. HILTON. THE AXIS ACADEMY AND THE CENTER FOR EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENT AT

[03:05:08]

CAMPUS HILLS. UM DO WE KNOW? UM IF ANYONE FROM THE SCHOOL COMMUNITY HAS, UM, PUT ANY OF THESE ON THE LIST HAS SHARED ANY OF THESE. I KNOW WE JUST PUBLIC COMMENT, AND I CAN ANSWER THAT.

IF THAT'S ALRIGHT. I KNOW WE'VE HAD PLENTY OF SUGGESTIONS. GO RIGHT AHEAD. I BELIEVE THE SCHOOL. UM AND I WISH THE PRINCIPLE IS HERE RIGHT NOW. I BELIEVE THE SCHOOLS SUGGESTIONS FROM THE, UM THE STAFF WAS HARFORD SCHOOLS, SPECIAL EDUCATION. UM THE. MHM OH, GOD.

WHAT WAS THE OTHER ONE HARVARD SCHOOL INVEST REAL EDUCATION. THERE WAS TWO INDIVIDUALS.

JACQUELINE HAAS. THERE WAS HARRIET TUBMAN, WHICH IS NOT ON THIS LIST. AND THERE WAS ONE OTHER SCHOOL THAT CAME FROM THE STAFF. AND YOU CAN SEE THE JACQUELINE HAAS CENTER. UM THERE WAS 18 FOR THAT PARTICULAR BUT THERE WAS 1/4. AND MAYBE WE CAN GET MR GEIR TO TEXT YOU, RACHEL ON WHAT? THAT FOURTH SCHOOL WAS. MR GEIR, IF YOU'RE LISTENING, MAYBE HOPEFULLY, IF YOU WANT TO SEND ME AN EMAIL, I'D BE HAPPY TO READ IT. OKAY JUST FINISH WITH MY COMMENTS. SURE. I'VE HAD A LOT OF CONVERSATION WITH THE SCHOOL. AND UM, I APPRECIATE WE'RE GOING TO CHANGE THE NAME AND I THINK WE SHOULD CHANGE THE NAME BUT THIS IS WITH THIS PARTICULAR SCHOOL. IT'S MORE ABOUT BRANDING, AND THEY REALLY FELT THAT UM, CENTER AND CENTER FOR EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENT WAS A MOUTHFUL. JOYCE TO SUPPORT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. AND THE THOUGHT OF BEING CAMPUS HILL SCHOOL WITH THE CAMPUS HILL SCHOOL REALLY DOESN'T GIVE THEM ANY DIFFERENTIATION OR BRANDING , AND I BELIEVE THEY WANTED TO BE KNOWN AS SOMETHING. AT CAMPUS HILLS, SINCE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT CAMPUS SALES, SO I THINK THAT WAS THE LOGIC FROM WHAT I HEARD AND WHY THEY WERE REALLY STRONG TENDENCIES TOWARDS THE JACQUELINE HAAS CENTER. UM. AND I THINK IT WAS DIFFERENT THAN THAT AGAIN. I'M GOING TO ASK MR GEIR TO TELL ME WHAT THAT WAS. BECAUSE BUT THEY REALLY WANTED SOME BRANDING, AND THEY REALLY WANTED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE NAMING ON THIS, SO I KNOW THEY'VE HAD 60 DAYS, BUT I THINK THERE WAS A STRONG PLEA THAT HE MADE WHEN HE CAME AND SPOKE ON BEHALF OF HIS STAFF. SO THANK YOU. I'M GONNA JUMP IN AND I DON'T USUALLY BECAUSE I LIKE TO HEAR EVERYBODY ELSE'S STATEMENT, BUT JUST TO PIGGYBACK ON WHAT PATRICE IS SAYING. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT EVERYBODY KEEP IN MIND. WHEN WE'RE DISCUSSING THIS AND THAT IDENTITY IS VERY IMPORTANT. TWO. NOT JUST THE TEACHERS AND STAFF AT JOHN ARCHER. UM BUT THE FAMILIES BECAUSE THIS IS A SCHOOL THAT IS AND CAN BE NOT NECESSARILY FOR ALL. BUT IT CERTAINLY CAN BE A LIFETIME SCHOOL. THIS IS A SCHOOL THAT SOME KIDS START AT FIVE AND THEY DON'T REALLY LEAVE UNTIL 21. UM THIS IS PART OF WHO THEY ARE. THIS IS HOW THEY SEE THEMSELVES. UM. AND AGAIN, IT'S THE FAMILIES. IT'S THE COMMUNITY. IT IS A COMMUNITY THAT COMES FROM ALL OVER. THERE IS NO OTHER SCHOOL IN OUR COUNTY LIKE JOHN ARCHER, UM THE WORK THEY DO IS IMMENSE AND MEANINGFUL AND. YOU KNOW, THEY CELEBRATE TOGETHER. THEY WEEP TOGETHER. THEY IT IS ABSOLUTELY ABSOLUTELY ONE OF THE BEST PLACES YOU'LL EVER SPEND TIME. IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN THERE ALREADY. UM BUT THIS FOR THEM AND BRANDING SOUNDS SO COMMERCIAL, BUT IT IS MEANINGFUL TO THEM. IT'S NOT. IT'S MORE THAN A NAME. THEY NEED MORE THAN A NAME. IT IS IMPORTANT TO THEM AND WHO THEY SEE THEMSELVES AND HOW THEY SEE THEMSELVES. AND I THINK THAT WE DO NEED TO TAKE THAT PART SERIOUSLY AND HONOR THAT WHILE STILL HONORING OUR COMMITMENT. TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT THINGS THROUGH AN EQUITY LENS. A CURRENT EQUITY LENS AGAIN. I UNDERSTAND WHAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE SAYING. I GET IT. I GET IT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR THE CLARIFICATION ON BRANDING. BUT YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT? I'M ABSOLUTELY UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU MEAN. INTERJECT TO THOUGH JUST UNDER THE POLICY, SO THE EXISTING POLICY FOR NAMING RENAMING? MM HMM. IT ACTUALLY DOESN'T SO MUCH INCLUDE A BRANDING TYPE ASPECT IS REALLY THE IT WOULD BE THE PUBLIC SCHOOL BUILDINGS SHALL BE THAT OF THE COMMUNITY, LOCATION, ROAD OR STREET. WHERE THE PUBLIC SCHOOL BUILDING IS LOCATED. A SIGNIFICANT AND DISTINGUISHABLE LANDMARK, WHICH WILL IDENTIFY THE SCHOOL'S LOCATION FOR THE PERSON LIVING OR DEAD HAS MADE SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTIONS. OKAY I'M JUST GONNA GO BACK TO THAT. SO YOU'RE SAYING A PERSON WHICH WE HAVE KIND OF SAID, BUT HAVE NOT. BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO DISCUSS THE POLICY PART LATER. UM, WE'RE NOT REALLY DOING

[03:10:01]

PEOPLE. SO THAT LEAVES US WITH LOCATION. SIGNIFICANT GEOGRAPHIC LANDMARK. ANYBODY GOT ANYTHING AROUND CAMPUS HILLS, RIGHT? I'M JUST KINDA SEPARATE TO DISCUSSIONS. OKAY. CAN WE FIRST DECIDE? WE'RE GOING TO HONOR MR GEITHNER'S REQUESTS. TO DELAY IT. REQUESTED OF US EARLIER. I MEAN, WE HAVE TO HAVE THE DISCUSSION. IF SO, THEN I THINK WE'LL MAKE IT A LOT EASIER. TO SIP SEPARATE, THEN WE CAN JUST FOCUS ON THE NAME RIGHT NOW. WE'RE GOING TO NAME AND VOTE TODAY, OR ARE WE GONNA NAME TODAY AND THEN PUT IT BACK TO THE COMMUNITY. I THINK IF WE CAN JUST GET THAT PART OFF THE TABLE THAT WOULD MAKE THE DISCUSSION ABOUT THE NAME OF AWFUL LOT EASIER, AND WE HAVEN'T VOTED ON POLICY THAT IT CAN'T BE A NAME. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IT, BUT WE HAVEN'T CHANGED THE POLICY YET. NO, WE HAVE NOT. BUT CAN WE EVER ANYBODY AGREE WITH ME THAT MAYBE WE SHOULD THAT'S A THAT'S A THE HARD AND FAST YES OR NO? ARE WE GOING TO PUT IT OFF FOR A WEEK AS HE REQUESTED? FOUR. WE GOING TO VOTE ON IT TONIGHT. I AGREE WITH YOU. RIGHT. THIS IS ARIAN.

OKAY. DAVID. THANK YOU, UM. I DON'T THINK WE NEED A SORT OF MOTIONED TO SAY WE'RE GOING TO PUT IT OFF IF WE'RE CONTINUING THE DISCUSSION. UM I AM FINE WITH. SAYING YEAH, LET'S PUT OFF THE DECISION ON THE SCHOOL. I DO THINK THAT THAT DOES CHANGE THE NATURE OF THE DISCUSSION SOMEWHAT BECAUSE THEN MAYBE IT SAYS, HEY, WE'RE NARROWING THIS DOWN TO TOP TWO. INSTEAD OF TRYING TO AGREE ON ONE. OKAY FOR AN EASIER DISCUSSION. I THINK SO. THEN LET ME ASK THIS QUESTION OF YOU, KIMBERLY. THINK HOW SAME AS COULD WE. COULD WE COME UP WITH? TWO NAMES. FOR INSTANCE, TONIGHT. VOTE ON YES, THESE ARE THE TWO NAMES THAT ARE FINALISTS WERE GOING TO VOTE.

WE'RE GOING TO GET THE OPINION OF THE ARCHER COMMUNITY. WE WILL VOTE ON WHICH OF THOSE NAMES. WE ARE GOING TO USE NEXT MONDAY AND THAT MIGHT COUNT. SO. I KNOW. I WILL SAY LEGALLY, YES. SO IN READING THIS FOR ABOUT THE 100TH TIME NOW, UM, SO EVEN THOUGH WE SHIP WE DID. YOU SHALL HAVE THE 60 DAY PERIOD. YOU SHALL PRESENT THE NAMES ACTUS MEETING AND YOU SHALL THE THEN IT SAYS AFTER RECEIVING THE NAMES ON THE LIST SUGGESTED BY THE PUBLIC. THE BOARD SHALL VOTE REGARDING THE NAME TO BE SELECTED FOR THE PUBLIC SCHOOL BUILDING IN QUESTION. UM, IT DOESN'T THAT PARTICULAR PARAGRAPH D DOES NOT SAY ON THAT 60TH. ON THE MEETING IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE 60 DAY PERIOD. PARAGRAPH C DOES, BUT PARAGRAPH D DOES NOT. IT DOES SAY THE BOARD MAY AND TAKING SUCH A VOTE. SELECT ANY NAME PROVIDED BY THE PUBLIC OR THE SUPERINTENDENT OR ANY OTHER NAME IT DEEMS APPROPRIATE AND CONSISTENT WITH THIS POLICY. DOES HER NAME SINGULAR. ALL RIGHT. SO. MY LITTLE PEA BRAIN IS VERY TIRED RIGHT NOW. UM SO WE. YOU'RE GONNA VERY GOOD GIRL YOU WANT TO GO AROUND? JUST MAKE ONE COMMENT BECAUSE I DIDN'T GET A CHANCE. MM. THE DRAWING ARCHER. COMMUNITY IS A VERY UNIQUE COMMUNITY IN THIS COUNTY. AS AS YOU SAID EARLIER. MHM. I HAVE. PATIENTS WHO ARE WHO WORKED THERE. THEY WOULD LIKE HIM PUT. I HAVE PATIENTS WHO HAVE HAD CHILDREN OR GRANDCHILDREN. OR COUSINS OR NIECES OR NEPHEWS THAT HAVE GONE THERE. UM WHO I'VE SEEN WITHIN THE PAST 60 DAYS, AND THEY MADE VARIOUS COMMENTS AND YOU KNOW THEY ARE CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT THE NEW NAME OF THEIR SCHOOL IS GOING TO BE. UM I THINK I WOULD LIKE THE IDEA OF GIVING THEM THE OPPORTUNITY. TWO. HERE TWO OR THREE. HOPEFULLY JUST TWO NAMES THAT WE CAN GIVE TO THEM. AND COME BACK WITH A, YOU KNOW, POLICY. I'M SURE THERE'S. LEGAL WAYS AROUND IT, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER THE POLICY SAYS. UM WE'RE NOT BREAKING ANY LAWS. I DON'T THINK IF WE DELAY THIS BY ONE WEEK, I THINK I THINK THEY DESERVE. WE'RE ALL THE EFFORT AND EVERYTHING THAT THAT COMMUNITY DOES. FOR THEMSELVES AND FOR THEIR FOR THEIR STUDENTS . I THINK THEY TRULY DESERVE TO HEAR WHAT THEIR POTENTIAL NAME IS GOING TO BE IN TO COMMENT ON THEM. SO GET BACK TO US IN THE NEXT WEEK. WE CAN MR GEIR. GOD LOVE HIM IS ACTUALLY LISTENING

[03:15:07]

AND SAID, WOULD IT BE EASIER IF I CALLED IN? I'M LIKE, NO, I DON'T THINK SO. BUT HANG ON. IF YOU HAVE NAMES WERE THAT YOU GUYS HAVE COME UP WITH THAT WOULD BE GREAT TO HEAR. SO WHAT IF I'M JUST TRYING TO WORK WITH YOU. UM WHAT YES, WE COME UP WITH THOSE TWO NAMES. WE VOTE AND SAY, HEY, THESE TWO NAMES ARE OUR CHOICES, BUT WE'RE GOING TO TABLE IT. UNTIL NEXT. MONDAY.

THEREBY GIVING MR GEIR TIME TO PUT ON MICROSOFT FORM THAT HE'S ONLY SENDING OUT TO HIS PEOPLE.

HIS FAMILY'S HIS STAFF. SO THERE'S NOT AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE REST OF THE PUBLIC FOR JUST THIS. COMMUNITY. TO WEIGH IN. AND THEN HE SENDS US THOSE RESULTS OR HE COMES IN PERSON AND TELLS US THOSE RESULTS BECAUSE I KNOW HE'S LISTENING. I'M PUSHING THE IN PERSON THING.

UM AND WE HAVE THAT VOTE AFTER WE KIND OF HEAR FROM THEM. WOULD THAT BE LEGAL ENOUGH. I BELIEVE SO BECAUSE PARAGRAPH C SPECIFICALLY TALKS ABOUT AT THE FIRST REGULAR BOARD MEETING FOLLOWING EXPIRATION OF THE SIX DAY PERIOD IS THE PRESENTATION OF THE LIST. OKAY, BEGIN WITH THAT SAME LANGUAGE. IT JUST SAYS AFTER RECEIVING THE NAMES ON THE LIST DID NOT SPECIFICALLY TIE IT TO THE FIRST BOARD MEETING AFTER THE 60 DAYS. SO I WOULD SAY ANYTIME AFTER RECEIVING THE NAMES ON THE LIST SUGGESTED OKAY, SO IT SOUNDS LIKE WE MAY HAVE IT. I KNOW. LIKE THAT.

YOU'RE WILLING TO WORK WITH ME. ALL RIGHT? SO WHAT MR GEIR JUST SENT ME WAS THE HARTFORD SCHOOL OR ACADEMY. ALL OF THESE ARE ON THE LIST THAT WE ALREADY HAVE. THE ONES THAT HIS COMMUNITY CAME UP WITH THEMSELVES WAS THE HARTFORD SCHOOL OR ACADEMY. SO EITHER THE HARTFORD SCHOOL OR THE HARTFORD ACADEMY UM, WHICH WE COULD ALWAYS PARLAY INTO THE HARTFORD ACADEMY AT CAMPUS HILLS . BUT THEN THEY HAVE THEIR OWN THING. AND CAMPUS HILLS WOULD BE A DIFFERENT THING. THE ARCHER SCHOOL, THE HARRIET TUBMAN SCHOOL OR THE JACKAL IN HIGH SCHOOL. SO THAT'S KIND OF WHAT THEY HAVE COME UP WITH. THAT'S KIND OF WHERE WE ARE IN TERMS OF WE WOULD HAVE THE DISCUSSION. WE CAN COME UP. WE CAN VOTE ON. THESE ARE THE TWO NAMES THAT WE ACCEPT. AND WE'RE GONNA TABLE THAT DECISION AND LET MR GEIR COME BACK, OF COURSE, WOULD NEED A MOTION THAT DIDN'T COME FROM ME FOR ALL OF THAT. BUT LET'S HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT THAT POTENTIAL. HOW ABOUT THAT? HEY, RACHEL, THIS IS JOYCE. YES, MA'AM. I'D LIKE TO WRITE DOWN THOSE THOSE WHAT YOU JUST SAID.

SO THE HARTFORD ACADEMY I LIKE THE HARTFORD ACADEMY. I WOULD VOTE ON THAT RIGHT NOW. YEAH ACADEMY BETTER THAN THE HARTFORD SCHOOL ONLY BECAUSE WE HAVE THE HARTFORD DAY SCHOOL. AND I WOULD I WOULD GOODMAN, JUST HARD FORGETTING MISTER HARPER. HARFORD ACADEMY CAMPUS CELLS. MR FREAKING VOTE ON THAT RIGHT NOW . DOES HE WANT US TO WAIT? I'M SORRY. I'M JUST A LITTLE GIGGLY AT 10 O'CLOCK IN THE NIGHT. YOU FEEL OUR PAIN. HARFORD ACADEMY. IT LOOKS WHEN YOU WRITE IT THE HEART, ADDING THE LOOKS BETTER ANYWAY. ALRIGHT WITH THE HARTFORD ACADEMY. WHAT ARE THE OTHER ONES? ARCHER SCHOOL. UM I NEED THAT OFF THE TABLE, MR GEIR . OKAY. GO AHEAD. THE HARRIET TUBMAN SCHOOL, NOT THE JUST HARRIET TUBMAN SCHOOL. OKAY WELL, WE'RE NOT DOING PEOPLE GO AHEAD, JACQUELINE HIGH SCHOOL. OH, ALL THESE TECHNIQUES. OKAY SO WELL, THAT'S KIND OF WHERE WE ARE. SO HERE'S THE QUESTION THAT I HAVE FOR MY COLLEAGUES, OKAY? AND I'M SURE I'M TRYING. I'M LISTENING TO EVERYBODY. AND I THINK THAT AS A BOARD WE'RE GETTING CLOSER TO SAYING WE'RE NOT. WE WOULD LIKE TO WORK AS TO WHERE MOVING FORWARD. WE DON'T NAME SCHOOLS AFTER PEOPLE SO THE ONLY ONE ON THAT LIST THAT, UM, THAT IS IN THAT DIRECTION IN THAT VEIN IS HARD FOR THE ACADEMY. UM WHAT DO WE DO NOW? DO WE VOTE ON THAT? OR DO WE GIVE THE SCHOOL COMMUNITY SOMETIMES YOU SHARED? UM AND THEN IF WE DO REALLY HAVE ONE THAT WOULD MEET THAT CRITERIA.

SO WHERE DO WE GO FROM THAT POINT? THEY'VE SEEN AS THE SCHOOL SEEN THE SAME THING ENTIRE LIST BECAUSE MAYBE THEY HAD AWARE OF SOME OF THE NAMES THAT THEY HAVE. JUST MR GEIR JUST EMAILED ME AGAIN AND SAID VOTE ON HARFORD ACADEMY NOW, WITH LOTS OF LITTLE SMILEY FACES. OKAY, HE'S LISTENING. OKAY, SO I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE. THAT WE CHANGED THE NAME OF THE JOHN ARCHER SCHOOL TO HARTFORD ACADEMY. A 2ND A SECOND. ALL RIGHT, WE'VE GOT A SECOND OR THIRD, I'M OPEN TO FOURTH CAMPUS HILLS AND JUST HEARTBREAK CAN DO THAT. I CAN'T PROTECT. YOU KNOW , I KIND OF LIKE CAMPUS HILLS HILLS. HOW TO GET YEAH. HARFORD ACADEMY AT CAMPUS HILLS. AND I

[03:20:07]

KNOW I'M NITPICKING. BUT CHOICE LIKES THE DO WE LIKE THE WAY IT SOUNDS LIKE WE NEED TO. WE NEED THE JOYS AND WE GET JOHN. CAN WE GET RANDY GEIER'S RELYING ON THAT? NO OKAY. I LIKE HARTFORD ACADEMY AT CAMPUS SALES ACADEMY . CAMPUS HILLS IS MY MOTION THEN , AND EVERYBODY SECONDED THAT ALREADY, RIGHT? YES. OKAY. 2ND, 3RD AND 4TH. DOES ANYBODY NEED TO HAVE ANY DISCUSSION ABOUT HARFORD ACADEMY AT CAMPUS HILLS GOT RANDY GEIER'S BUYING. GOT RANDY GUY RIGHT HERE, SAYING VOTE ON HARFORD ACADEMY NOW.
