[01:45:05]

DECISION ON PROPOSED REVISION TO BOARD POLICY 02-009-00 HOMEWORK. IN PRESENT. RODIER VICE PRESIDENT MUELLER, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD AND SUPERINTENDENT BOLSON ATTENDING WITH ME TONIGHT VIRTUALLY IS DR PETER CARPENTER , DIRECTOR OF ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND CONTINUOUS LEARNING. THIS PROPOSED REVISED POLICY WAS PRESENTED TO YOU AS A RECOMMENDATION AT THE PUBLIC BOARD MEETING ON JUNE 20TH 2022. IT WAS PRESENTED BY MS KIMBERLY NEAL, GENERAL COUNSEL. AND DR CARPENTER. THIS PROPOSED REVISED POLICY IS THE RESULT OF WORK THAT BEGAN IN THE FALL OF 2021.

DR SUSAN BROWN, WHO WAS AT THE TIME THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF CURRICULUM AND ASSESSMENT ASSEMBLED A TEAM TO REVIEW THE CURRENT HCPS HOMEWORK POLICY. THAT TEAM ULTIMATELY SHARED A DRAFT OF THE REVISED POLICY WITH THE GENERAL CURRICULUM COMMITTEE ON MAY 24TH. 2022. THE COMMITTEE THEN APPROVED THE REVISED POLICY AND THE POLICY WAS THEN PRESENTED TO YOU AS I SAID AT THE JUNE 20TH 2022 BUSINESS MEETING. FOLLOWING THAT PRESENTATION, THERE WAS THE 30 DAY PERIOD FOR PUBLIC COMMENT. THERE WERE THREE COMMENTS RECEIVED, WHICH WERE FORWARDED TO THE BOARD. THIS PROPOSED POLICY IS NOW BEFORE YOU FOR A DECISION THIS EVENING. HOWEVER I DO WANT TO NOTE THAT THERE IS A SMALL CLERICAL ERROR IN THE PROPOSED REVISED POLICY THAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU. IN SECTION THREE, A TWO THERE IS THE PHRASE HOMEWORK PROCEDURE. THAT FREES SHOULD READ HOMEWORK PROCEDURES. WITH PROCEDURES BEING PLURAL. THIS WAS ACTUALLY NOTED DURING THE JUNE 20TH 2022 MEETING. HOWEVER IT WAS NOT CORRECTED IN THE DRAFT THAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU. THEREFORE MY RECOMMENDATION IS THAT IF THE BOARD WAS OF THE MIND TO APPROVE THIS REVISED POLICY YOU ALSO APPROVED THE CHANGE OF THE WORD PROCEDURE TO PROCEDURES IN SECTION THREE, A TWO SINCE IT IS NOT A SUBSTANTIVE CHANGE. AND I HANDED BACK OVER TO YOU FOR A DECISION.

OKAY, UM MM. ANY QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THAT. CAN I JUST ADD? UM YES. CONFIRM NEWS, MR. BERT. THE POLICY WHERE. ADJUSTING 0 TO 0056 HOMEWORK. ONLY BECAUSE I THINK THE NOTES THAT MS CARDIO IS READING FROM 600. NOW I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE RECORD HAS THE RIGHT POLICY NUMBER. JUST SO WHEN WE DO THE MOTION THAT WE HAVE THE RIGHT NUMBER IN THERE THE POLICY HAS CHANGED NUMBERS. POLICY EXPLAINS IT ORIGINALLY NUMBER 04002. THE NEW REVISED POLICY IS NUMBERED 0 TO 0056000 . THE REVISED POLICY NUMBER REFLECTS THE MOVE OF THE POLICY FROM THE INSTRUCTIONAL SECTION TO THE STUDENT SECTION OF THE BOARD POLICY MANUAL. OKAY? SO GOOD TO KNOW, BUT ALSO ONE OR THE OTHER. I MADE MISTAKES. SO WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS POLICY 02-0056-000 HOMEWORK. WHICH GOT MOVED ACCURATE. OKAY, ALRIGHT. SO MAY I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO APPROVE THE CHANGE OF THE WORDS HOMEWORK PROCEDURE TO HOMEWORK PROCEDURES WITH AN S IN SECTION THREE. A TWO OF THE PROPOSED REVISED POLICY AND TO APPROVE THE PROPOSED REVISED POLICY AS AMENDED. THIS IS DAVID BELIEVE THE MOTION. TO CHANGE. THE POLICY SHOULD COME FIRST, SO I MOVED. TO I MOVE THAT WE ACCEPT THE UPDATED POLICY PROPOSAL WITH POTENTIAL AMENDMENT. OKAY? THAT'S PERMISSIBLE. OF COURSE, YOU CAN DO IT IN TWO STAGES. AND THE SECOND AND THIS IS SONIA I SECOND ALL RIGHT. SINCE THIS IS A POLICY ONE. LET'S DO A.

AT THAT TIME AND AS AN EFFORT TO COMPLY WITH CHANGES IN KUMAR. MR SNYDER INITIATED A REVIEW OF THE CURRENT HTTPS POLICY, WHICH WAS ENTITLED REPORT CARDS AND MARKING SYSTEMS. ULTIMATELY THE POLICY WAS REVISED TO COMPLY WITH THESE REQUIRED CHANGES. NAMELY THE FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS THAT LOCAL SCHOOL SYSTEM POLICY ADDRESS HOW ATTENDANCE IMPACTS GRADING PRACTICES. HOW FINAL COURSE GRADES ARE DETERMINED AT EACH LEVEL. AND HOW GREAT CHANGES OCCUR, INCLUDING THAT NO GRADE MAYBE CHANGED 45 DAYS. AFTER THE END OF A MARKING PERIOD.

[G. Decision on Proposed Revisions to Board Policy 22-0008-000, Public Participation at Board Open Meetings or Public Hearings, John E. Burke, Esq., Deputy General Counsel]

ACTION ITEM OR LAST. ACTUALLY, IT LOOKS LIKE DECISION ON PROPOSED REVISIONS TO BOARD POLICY. SURE I GOT THE RIGHT ONE HERE. 22-0. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION AT BOARD, OPEN MEETINGS OR PUBLIC HEARINGS. MR BURKE AGAIN. GOOD EVENING AGAIN. PRESIDENT DIRTIER VICE PRESIDENT MUELLER, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD AND SUPERINTENDENT PAULSON. THIS PROPOSED REVISED POLICY WAS PRESENTED TO YOU AS A RECOMMENDATION AT THE PUBLIC BOARD MEETING ON JULY 18TH 2022.

IT WAS PRESENTED BY MS KIMBERLY NEAL, GENERAL COUNSEL. THE PURPOSE OF THIS POLICY IS TO ESTABLISH GUIDELINES FOR THE CONDUCT OF OFFICIAL BUSINESS IN AN OPEN AND PUBLIC MANNER, KEEPING AS A PRIORITY, THE FOCUS OF THE BUSINESS MEETING AND ITS AGENDA. THE POLICY WAS INITIALLY ADOPTED IN SEPTEMBER OF 1992. THE POLICY WAS LAST AMENDED IN JANUARY OF 2005. AS PART OF THE WORK, MS NEAL ESTABLISHED WORK GROUPS IN ORDER TO CONDUCT A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF ALL SECTIONS OF THE POLICY IN LIGHT OF THE LENGTH OF TIME SINCE THE LAST AMENDMENT. THE IMPACT OF

[01:55:06]

THE COVID 19 PANDEMIC, WHICH HAS INCLUDED THE PRACTICE OF BOTH VIRTUAL MEETINGS AND HYBRID MEETINGS. AND EVOLVING PRACTICES AT BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETINGS OVER THE YEARS, INCLUDING THE WAY THAT THE PUBLIC COMMENTS ARE PRESENTED IN ORDER TO PROTECT THE SAFETY OF PARTICIPANTS. THE WORK GROUPS ALSO EXAMINED THE BEST PRACTICES, POLICIES AND AMENDMENTS OF OTHER PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEMS WITHIN MARYLAND. SPECIFIC GIGOLOS AND ARRUNDELL COUNTY, BALTIMORE CITY, BALTIMORE COUNTY. FREDERICK COUNTY, HOWARD COUNTY, PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY AND MONTGOMERY COUNTY. THE WORK GROUPS ALSO EXAMINED THE PRACTICES OF OTHER NON EDUCATIONAL BOARD AND COUNCIL MEETINGS. AS I MENTIONED THE NEW PROPOSED POLICY WAS PRESENTED TO YOU BY MS NEAL AT THE JULY 18TH 2022 PUBLIC BOARD MEETING. FOLLOWING THAT PRESENTATION, THERE WAS THE 30 DAY PERIOD FOR PUBLIC COMMENT. THERE WERE APPROXIMATELY 71 COMMENTS RECEIVED AND REVIEWED BY THE BOARD. THIS COUNT INCLUDES DUPLICATE AND SIMILAR COMMENTS IN SOME INSTANCES FROM THE SAME SENATOR. THESE COMMENTS WERE FORWARDED TO THE BOARD FOR REVIEW. THIS PROPOSED POLICY IS NOW BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING FOR A DECISION. ALL RIGHT. SO BEFORE WE CAN DISCUSS CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, WE NEED TO HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND AND THEN WE CAN HAVE A CONVERSATION. YES OKAY. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I WAS RIGHT. ALRIGHT WITH ANYONE LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION AND THE SECOND ON THIS POLICY. THIS IS DAVID. I MOVE THAT WE ACCEPT THE UPDATED POLICY WITH POTENTIAL AMENDMENTS. WITH POTENTIAL AMENDMENTS, OKAY? ANYONE WANT A SECOND THOUGHT? WITHOUT IT BEING SECONDED. WE CAN'T EVEN HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT IT. I'LL SECOND FOR THE PURPOSE OF DISCUSSION. THANK YOU, DR PHILLIPS. ALL RIGHT. UM DR BAUER SINCE YOU MENTIONED POTENTIAL AMENDMENTS, I'M GONNA LET YOU SPEAK FIRST. WELL ACTUALLY, I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK KIND OF IN SUPPORT OF THE PEOPLE WHO PUT THIS PROPOSAL TOGETHER. UM. I RECOGNIZE WE HAVE HAD A LOT OF COMMENTS. ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF PUBLIC INPUT. ON THIS TOPIC. WE GOT OVER 70 WRITTEN COMMENTS.

WE'VE ONLY HAD 29. PUBLIC COMMENTS AT THIS MEETING. INCLUDING THE ONES THAT WERE ABOUT CHEERLEADING ABOUT. SPECIAL EDUCATION PARA EDUCATORS. SO WE'VE ACTUALLY RECEIVED SIGNIFICANTLY MORE FEEDBACK ON THIS TOPIC. IN WRITTEN COMMENTS. REVENUE IS ALWAYS OPEN AND, FRANKLY ENCOURAGED. UM. WE ALSO DO HOLD SPECIALIZED. MEETINGS FOR PUBLIC INPUT. ON SPECIFIC TOPICS SUCH AS THE BUDGET EVERY YEAR. REDISTRICTING WHEN WE WENT THROUGH THAT BIG EFFORT. THERE ARE A LOT OF AVENUES FOR PUBLIC INPUT. SEPARATE FROM OUR BUSINESS, REALLY? NOW I'M VERY INTERESTED IN IS WHAT IMPROVEMENTS WE CAN MAKE TO THE PROCESS. IN TERMS OF. WHEN DURING THE MEETING SHOULD WE HAVE A PUBLIC COMPANY? I LIKE PUBLIC COMMENTS AT THE START OF THE MEETING. TO BE MORE OPEN TO PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY STUDENTS. UM YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO STAY UP. REAL LATE. AS HAVING PUBLIC COMMENTS AT THE END OF THE MEETING WITH LEAD TO THERE WAS A SUGGESTION ABOUT HAVING AN OVERFLOW OR AN ADDITIONAL COMMENT PERIOD AT THE END OF THE MEETING, AS OPPOSED TO THE START OF THE MEETING. UM SO BACK IN 2019. WE'D ALSO GONE THROUGH A PERIOD OF DISCUSSION. ABOUT HAVING COMMITTEES. AND IT SEEMED LIKE THE ONE THING THAT REALLY FUNK THAT WHOLE DISCUSSION. WAS THAT. WE ALSO TALKED ABOUT LIMITING PUBLIC COMMENTS TO ONE MEETING A MONTH. AS PART OF THAT SAME STRUCTURE. BASICALLY TO ALLOW TIME FOR THAT. I. I RECOGNIZE THAT WE DEFINITELY HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO I THINK WE NEED TO HAVE MORE OPTIONS FOR PUBLIC COMMENT. I DON'T KNOW IF IT SHOULD BE A SEPARATE MEETING.

MONTHLY MEETINGS. FOR SPECIFICALLY FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS SO THAT WHEN THINGS WRONG LONG

[02:00:04]

IT DOESN'T DELAY THE OTHER BUSINESS OF THE BULLET. UM. I DO NOT REMEMBER. WE HAVE POSTPONED TOPICS BECAUSE OF THE MEETING GOING PLATE. BUT I THINK THE LAST BOARD DID IF WE DIDN'T SO.

I UNDERSTAND THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE PUT IT, SUSPICION OF AUTHORITY RIGHT NOW. BUT A LOT OF LOGICAL THOUGHT WENT INTO THIS A LOT OF RESEARCH INTO BEST PRACTICES OF OTHER AREAS. I DO NOT SEE THIS AS A FREE SPEECH ISSUE. WE HAVE LOTS OF. CONSTRAINTS EFFECTIVELY. COUNTRY SPEECH. IT'S A LOT MORE THAN JUST YOU CAN'T YELL FIRE IN A CROWDED THEATER. THIS IS NOT MEANT TO BE A PRIMARY. THE PRIMARY PLACE FOR THE PUBLIC TO COME AND TALK AND TALK. IT IS MEANT FOR US TO DO OUR BUSINESS. UM I WOULD GIVE AN EXAMPLE OF AH THE STATE LEGISLATURE. WHERE. WE HAD BILLS THAT WE WERE INTERESTED IN. UM ASHLEY. TALK TO PEOPLE THERE ABOUT GIVING COMMENTS AND SOME OF THE HOUSE BILLS, THEY SAID. IT'S A LOCAL BILL. WE DO NOT EVEN ALLOW ORAL PRESENTATION. WRITTEN COMMENTS ONLY. SO WHEN WE WERE HAVING ARE SMALL GROUP DISCUSSIONS WE TALKED ABOUT 35 MINUTES WAS ALREADY LONGER THAN THE OTHER COMPARABLE ONES. ABOUT DISTRICTS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT. AND EXPANDING THAT I'M FINE. I DIDN'T TIME HOW LONG IT TOOK TONIGHT. I DIDN'T DO IT. UM. BEFORE WE HAD KIND OF SET TWO HOURS AS A LIMIT. UM WE WERE CUTTING TIME FROM THREE MINUTES DOWN TO TWO MINUTES BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER OF SPEAKERS AND WE DEFINITELY GOT COMPLAINTS WHERE PEOPLE SAY I HAVE PREPARED A WRITTEN THREE MINUTE SPEECH AND NOW I HAVE TO GIVE IT IN TWO MINUTES. SO. I SEE A LOT OF DISCUSSION STILL TO BE HAD ON THIS. UM. I'LL LEAVE IT THERE FOR NOW AND SEE WHAT OTHER PEOPLE SAY OKAY? ALRIGHT, MISS KELLY GONNA GO DOWN MY LIST. ANY COMMENTS ABOUT THIS CONCERNS. GENERAL STATEMENTS. UM, I THINK JUST GENERAL STATEMENT. I. I LISTENED TO ALL OF THE COMMENTS THIS EVENING, AND I AGREE. I MEAN, I THINK THAT I KNOW THAT MY ROLE. IN THE YOU KNOW. IN THIS POSITION IS TOO LISTEN TO OUR COMMUNITY. LISTEN TO OUR PARENTS. UM, LISTEN TO WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY. REGARDLESS OF WHAT IT IS. I'M A PARENT AND I WOULD HOPE TO BE AFFORDED THE SAME. UM THAT'S ALL I'M GONNA SAY. THAT'S FINE. UM DR PHILLIPS. UM. SO FIRST OF ALL, I WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE WITH DAVID'S LAST STATEMENT THAT THERE'S A LOT MORE TO DISCUSS ABOUT THIS. AND MAYBE THIS IS ULTIMATELY THIS MAY NOT COME TO A VOTE THIS EVENING. BUT I TOOK THE OPPORTUNITY OF BEING VIRTUAL TONIGHT TO, UM WHILE I WAS LISTENING TO EVERYBODY'S COMMENTS. LOOKING UP SOME ARTICLES AND, UM. POLICIES OF OTHER AREAS. AND FIRST OF ALL, SOMEONE MENTIONED SOMETHING ABOUT A LAWSUIT IN BUCKS COUNTY AND I DID HAPPEN TO REFERENCE THAT THIS IS FROM THE BUCKS COUNTY COURIER TIMES. FROM JULY 1920 22. THIS HAD TO DO NOT WITH TIME OF SPEAKING, UM BUT IT HAD TO DEAL WITH THERE ARE CITIZENS RIGHT TO COMMENT ON VARIETY OF ISSUES, INCLUDING THE SCHOOL DISTRICT'S BUDGET AND EQUITY AND EDUCATION INITIATIVE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH LIMITED PUBLIC SPEAKING IN TERMS OF TIME, WHO COULD SPEAK? IT WAS STRICTLY ABOUT THE BOARD OF EDUCATION.

LIMITING WHAT WAS BEING SPOKEN ABOUT, SO THAT THAT REALLY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WITH OUR POLICY TONIGHT. UM. THE ARLINGTON SCHOOL BOARD. ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA. UM FIRST QUESTION THAT THEY HAVE HERE IS AS FAR AS TIME EACH SPEAKER MAY SPEAK UP TO TWO MINUTES. OUR CLERK WILL START THE TIME WHEN THE SPEAKER BEGINS AND SPEAKER SHOULD CONCLUDE THE REMARKS FROM THE BUZZER SOUNDS. THE BOARD GENERALLY ALLOWS UP TO 30 MINUTES FOR A CITIZEN COMMENT.

UM IF LARGE NUMBER OF SPEAKERS ARE EXPECTING A PARTICULAR COMMENT. THE BOARD MADE LIMIT TOTAL TIME FOR COMMENT AND MAY REDUCE THE TIME ALLOTTED FOR EACH SPEAKER. UM SPEAKERS ARE

[02:05:03]

ENCOURAGED TO PREPARE THE REMARKS TO FIT WITHIN THE TWO MINUTE LEFT TO MINUTE LIMIT. NOT THREE, BUT TWO MINUTES. UM OHIO. THE SPORTS OF EDUCATION REQUIRED TO HAVE PUBLIC PARTICIPATION AT THEIR MEETINGS. NO I DON'T WANT TO READ THE REST OF IT, BUT NO IS THE ANSWER TO THAT CAN SCHOOL BOARDS IMPOSED LIMITATIONS ON PUBLIC COMMENTS? YES SCHOOL BOARDS HAVE FLEXIBILITY AND HOW THEY CAN STRUCTURE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR FROM COMMUNITY MEMBERS, STUDENTS, STAFF AND PARENTS. BOARDS OF EDUCATION CAN REGULATE TIME, PLACE AND MANNER OF PUBLIC PARTICIPATION. FOR EXAMPLE, BOARDS OF EDUCATION MAY LIMIT INDIVIDUALS. COMMENTS TO THREE MINUTES MAY LIMIT TOTAL TIME OF PUBLIC PARTICIPATE IN 30 MINUTES, AND THEY REQUIRE INDIVIDUALS ADDRESSING THE BOARD TO PROVIDE THEIR NAMES. ADDRESS. NEW YORK. UM BOARDS MY LIMIT THAT TIME ALLOCATION TO EACH SPEAKER IF SO TIME ROTATION TO BE IDENTIFIED AT THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE MEETING AND APPLIED UNIFORMLY, FOR EXAMPLE, THE BOARD MAY INDICATE THAT PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD WILL BE LIMITED TO 30 MINUTES WITH THREE MINUTES PER SPEAKER. SIMILAR, UM POLICIES IN NEW JERSEY. UH AND MASSACHUSETTS. I COULDN'T FIND THE SPECIFIC POLICY FOR PENNSYLVANIA. BUT OBVIOUSLY IT'S GOING TO BE DISTRICT BY DISTRICT. THE POINT IS THAT WE'RE NOT TRYING TO, UM, STIFLE SPEECH AS SOMEONE EARLIER HAD MENTIONED. UM AS AS DAVID SAID, YOU KNOW, WE'RE HERE TO CONDUCT BUSINESS. WE CERTAINLY ENCOURAGE PUBLIC INPUT. LOOK WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE PUBLIC INPUT ABOUT CHEERLEADING. UM THAT YOU KNOW, THE DECISION WAS MADE WITHOUT YOU KNOW, AND THANK YOU FOR THOSE CHEERLEADERS WHO DID SHOW UP TONIGHT AND SPEAK. WE APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT YOU APPRECIATE WHAT WE DID. UM BUT ALL THAT WAS DONE THROUGH, UM, EMAILS. WE READ EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOUR EMAILS FROM START TO FINISH QUITE ON. BELIEVE IT OR NOT, AT LEAST I DO. UM AND THAT WAS ACCOMPLISHED. YOU KNOW THAT THAT DECISION WAS MADE THROUGH THAT CHANNEL. IT DIDN'T REQUIRE. UM LARGE PUBLIC COMMENTS. WE HEARD YOUR VOICES. UM AND THIS THAT WAS TO ME. IT WAS QUITE HONESTLY. IT WAS A NO BRAINER. NO ONE IS TRYING TO SILENCE ANYBODY IN THE COMMUNITY. KNOW, I WAS, UH, MY KIDS WENT TO SCHOOL. I HAVE GRANDKIDS IN SCHOOL NOW. COURSE WE WANT TO STAY INVOLVED. WE WANT TO BE ACTIVE AND WHAT AND WHAT THEY'RE LEARNING. BUT THERE ARE OTHER WAYS OF ACCOMPLISHING THAT THROUGH, UM, DIRECT COMMUNICATION WITH THE TEACHER. AND IF THAT DOESN'T WORK, UM, GOING TO THE PRINCIPAL, AND IF THAT DOESN'T WORK, THEN YOU HAVE UM, THE BOARD OF EDUCATION TO COME, TOO, BUT A LOT OF TIMES WE FIND OURSELVES THE FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE RATHER THAN THE LAST LINE OF DEFENSE, AND I KNOW IT'S FRUSTRATING STARTING AT STARTING AT ONE LEVEL AND HAVING TO ESCALATE UP TO VARIOUS LEVELS TO FINALLY GET YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED. AND I DON'T MEAN TO KEEP GOING ON AND ON. I'M VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT THIS. UM I HAVE A HARD TIME VOTING FOR SOMETHING THAT IS SILENCING PEOPLE'S VOICE. BUT I THINK PEOPLE NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE THAT WE'RE NOT SILENCING THEIR VOICE WE'RE GIVING. THERE ARE CERTAINLY OTHER OPPORTUNITIES. AS WAS MENTIONED, UM AND, UM, WE STILL NEED TIME TO CONDUCT BUSINESS ACCORDINGLY. AND, UM. YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES WHEN THESE MEETINGS GO ON INDEFINITELY WITH NUMEROUS COMMENTS, IT DOES LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF BUSINESS THAT WE CAN CONDUCT AND I WILL. STIFEL MYSELF RIGHT NOW AND LET OTHER PEOPLE SPEAK. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR RICCARDI. THANK YOU, PRESIDENT GAUTIER. UM. I'M GOING TO REITERATE WHAT MY OTHER FELLOW BOARD MEMBERS HAVE SAID THE INTENT ON MODIFYING THIS. POLICY WAS TO ALLOW THE BOARD OF EDUCATION TO HAVE A BUSINESS MEETING. UM. AND WHEN PUBLIC COMMENT OVER THIS PAST YEAR WAS GOING INTO LIKE NINE O'CLOCK AT NIGHT. IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO GET THE BOARDS BUSINESS COMPLETED. REMEMBER GOING TO MEETINGS PAST ONE A.M. AND THAT'S WHAT I SIGNED UP FOR. I THINK SOMEONE IN THE AUDIENCE TODAY MENTIONED IT, AND I'M PROUD TO BE A PART OF THIS BOARD OF EDUCATION. UM I DO, HOWEVER, HAVE GREAT CONCERNS. OF THE PERCEPTION OF THIS BOARD WITH SOME OF THE MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY AND, UM, ALTHOUGH A PROPONENT OF CHANGING. UM.

THAT'S THE WAY WE HANDLE ARE THESE PUBLIC COMMENT AND I WILL SAY THAT MANY OF THE CHANGES THAT WERE MADE NEED TO BE MADE. THE CURRENT POLICY DOES NOT REALLY OUTLINE THE WAY WE ARE HANDLING BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETINGS IN HARTFORD COUNTY TODAY, SO THERE IS A NEED FOR CHANGE. HOWEVER I AM GOING TO SUGGEST THAT WE TABLE THE TIME LIMITS. UM THE WAY PROPOSED THE WAY IT'S BEEN PROPOSED BASED ON THE PUBLIC COMMENT THAT'S COME IN IN PERSON AND IN WRITING, AND , UM, YOU KNOW, SHARE WITH MY FELLOW BOARD MEMBERS. MAYBE THIS ISN'T THE TIME TO DO IT RIGHT NOW. ESPECIALLY WHAT WE'RE COMING OUT OF. I KNOW THE INTENT WAS THERE AND IT WAS, UH, A GOOD

[02:10:06]

INTENT. ALTHOUGH THE PUBLIC UNFORTUNATELY SOME OF THE PUBLIC MAY FIND THAT HARD TO BELIEVE.

BUT IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE GET TO THE BOARD MEETING. SO, UM, THAT'S THAT'S ALL. I'M GONNA SAY IT RIGHT NOW. AND IF WE WERE GONNA MAKE A MODIFICATION, MY MODIFICATION WOULD BE TO REMOVE THE LIMITS ON THE TIME AND THE NUMBER OF SPEAKERS AND THE SIGN UP POLICY, UM, TO MAKE IT AS EASY AS POSSIBLE FOR THE PUBLIC TO SPEAK. AND THAT'S WHERE I LEAVE IT. THANK YOU. UM, MISS KARWACKI. YES. SORRY. I HAVE THE LET ME PULL THE POLICY BACK UP IN FRONT OF ME. ALL OF THE SPEAKERS THAT HAVE PRECEDED ME. HAVE BASICALLY ALREADY EXPRESSED SOME OF THE CONCERNS THAT I HAVE BUT ADDITIONALLY. MY CONCERN. IT'S ALSO ABOUT THE SECTION OF THIS POWER. THAT, UM MAY INCONVENIENCE. SOME OF OUR PARENTS. AND THAT WOULD BE IN. THE IN NUMBER THREE. COMING DOWN TO UM. REQUEST. FOR YEAH, I THINK THE REQUEST FOR PUBLIC COMMENT WILL BE NUMBERED AND A TRACKING SYSTEM. IS CONFUSING TO SOME PEOPLE. AH IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT IT'S NOT RANDOM, BECAUSE WHETHER OR NOT PEOPLE ARE AWARE THERE IS A FUNCTION WITHIN EXCEL SPREADSHEET THAT ALLOWS YOU TO ENTER NAMES ANY NUMBER OF NAMES , AND IT WAS SIGN A RANDOM NUMBER. AND THEN YOU SIMPLY, UM NUMERICALLY ORDER THOSE BY DOING A SORT. SO THAT MAKES SENSE TO ME. BUT. MAKING THE SELECTIONS ON THE DAY OF THE MEETING AND LETTING PEOPLE KNOW BY TWO. I THINK IT'S INCONVENIENT, AND THAT'S THE PART THAT I'M REALLY CONCERNED WITH. BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY. MOST OF THE PEOPLE THAT ARE INTERESTED IN WHAT WE'RE DOING, HAVE CHILDREN. AND THERE ARE ISSUES WITH CHILD CARE. AND TRANSPORTATION AND SO MANY OTHER THINGS THAT COULD THEN PROHIBIT THEM FROM BEING PARTICIPANTS. SO BUT I DO LIKE THE FACT THAT WE ARE GOING TO CUT A FI, THE VIRTUAL COMMENT.

AND I THINK THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT FOR US TO KEEP AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY. OKAY.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. DR HAROLD. THANK YOU. UM AS I CONSIDER THE POLICY AS PRESENTED UM MY VIEW WOULD ECHO SONIA. UM IT'S SHE SAID. EXACTLY WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY. I THINK THAT, UM.

NOTIFYING, FOLKS. UM THE TWO THE TWO O'CLOCK TIMEFRAME. I THINK THAT IS INCONVENIENT. I THINK, UM UH, I DON'T THINK THAT WE CONSIDER UM. COURTESY TO THE PUBLIC IN THAT REGARD, AND THAT WOULD BE MY RECOMMENDATION. FOR A CHANGE. UM OTHERWISE. I CAN SEE JUSTIFICATION FOR THE REMAINING PIECES. AND THAT IS ALL. THANK YOU. OKAY. THANK YOU. MR ROBINSON. THANK YOU, RACHEL.

UM. I CANNOT SUPPORT THE POLICY AS WRITTEN. BOB'S LIBRARIES, BUT UM. UM I'M CONCERNED ABOUT PERCEPTION AND. AND IN THIS BUSINESS PERCEPTION IS REALITY. WHETHER THE INTENT WAS TO JUST UPDATE THE POLICY TO MAKE IT MORE CURRENT OR TWO TO MAKE THE POLITICS FIT WITH WITH WITH WHAT WE'RE DOING TODAY. OR SOMETHING ELSE IT THAT IT THAT PEACE DOESN'T MATTER. WHAT MATTERS IS WHAT THE PUBLIC PROCEEDINGS AND SO I CAN'T SUPPORT THAT PIECE. I THINK THAT WE COULD. WE COULD, UM ONE I LIKE TO ASSOCIATE. MY COMMENTS WITH PATRICE IS I THINK THAT CABLING THIS POLICY. SO

[02:15:08]

THAT WE CAN DO SOME SO THAT THERE CAN BE SOME MORE DISCUSSION. UM ABOUT IT DOWN DOWN DOWN THE ROAD. IS PROBABLY THE BEST OPTION. THE OTHER THING . I THINK THAT WE AND I UNDERSTAND THE CONCERN IS WE GOT IT. WE WANT TO, UM TAKE WE WANTED TO DO, UH, HANDLE A BUSINESS MEETING. WELL LOOK, WE DON'T HAVE TO CHANGE THE POLICY TO DO THAT. WELL, WE HAVE TO DO IT REARRANGED THE AGENDA. WE HAD A PUBLIC COMMENT. PUBLIC COMMENTER. UM UM. MENTION THAT TONIGHT AND ALL WE WE'D BE DOING IS REALLY FOLLOWING THE, UH THEY ACCEPT THE PUBLIC POLICY OR THE AGENDA OF THE COUNTY COUNCIL. THEY HAVE PUBLIC COMING AT THE END OF THE SESSION. AND THERE ARE NO AND I'M NOT. I'M NOT. I'M NOT CERTAIN, BUT I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY LIMITS ON THE ON THE TIME THAT MAYBE I DON'T THINK SO. BUT I THINK THEY'RE GOING FROM WHERE WE ARE. TO WHERE WE WANT TO GO, IS SUCH A DRASTIC CHANGE. ON THIS COMMUNITY AND EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE OTHER COMMUNITIES, OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS THAT THAT WOULD TRYING TO MIRROR TRYING TO THINK THAT AND WHERE WE ARE AND LOOK AT OUR COMMUNITIES WHEN YOU TAKE SOMETHING AWAY FROM SOMEBODY, YOU GOTTA YOU WANT TO PUT SOMETHING IN HIS PLACE OR OR OR SOMETHING ELSE? CROPS UP THAT THAT THAT'S UNDESIRABLE. AND I JUST I JUST THINK THAT WE NEED TO WE CAN WE CAN TABLE THE POLICY, REARRANGEMENT GENDER AND LOOK AT HOW THAT YOU KNOW. GIVE IT GET LOOK AT GIVING THAT SOMETIME. UM THAT WILL ALLOW US TO ADDRESS BUSINESS. OUR BUSINESS MEETING AND I AND I WOULD SAY THAT FOR THOSE WHO ARE CONCERNED ABOUT STUDENTS WHO MAY PARTICIPATE MAY WANT TO PARTICIPATE. UM IN THE MEETINGS IF YOU IF YOU LOOK BACK OVER THE OVER THE LAST YEAR OF HAVING MEETINGS, THE REASON WHY THE MEDIA WENT SO LONG BECAUSE OF THE PUBLIC COMMENT, SO PUBLIC COMMENTS TOOK UP A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF OUR TIME AND BY THE TIME THIS PART OF IT THE PUBLIC COMMENT AND HAD HAD HAD LEFT AND SO I JUST THINK THAT THAT IF WE MOVED IT TO THE END OF THE MEETING, UM WHAT HAPPENED? WELL WE'LL SEE SOME SOME SOME SOME BENEFITS FROM THAT AND HOW MANY TIMES HAVE HAD BOARD MEMBERS? I WISH THAT PUBLIC COMMUNIST HAS STAYED AROUND UNTIL THE END OF THE MEETING. TO HEAR SOME OF THE CONCERNS SOME OF THEIR CONCERNS HAVING BEEN BEEN ADDRESSED, AND I JUST THINK THAT IF WE JUST LOOK AT AGAIN THAT CHANGE IN THE AGENDA AND STUDIED THE POLICY FOR LATER. BUT THAT'S KIND OF MY ACCOUNT. OKAY. THANK YOU. UM THIS LINCOLN YEAH, THANK YOU.

SO, UM, FIRST, I'D LIKE TO SAY I AGREE WITH WHAT MISS KELLY SAID EARLIER. UM REGARDING THE PARENTAL CONCERN FOR THEIR STUDENTS. UM. AND THEN TO ALL OUR PUBLIC SPEAKERS TONIGHT.

THANK YOU ON BEHALF OF THE STUDENTS FOR COMING OUT AND SPEAKING YOUR VOICE AND TELLING US HOW YOU FEEL. UM. LET ME JUST ONE SECOND, UM. I UNDERSTAND IT'S AN INCONVENIENCE OF LETTING PEOPLE KNOW WHETHER THEY'RE SPEAKING OR NOT. BY TWO PM, UM AND THAT'S ALREADY WE'VE ALREADY SPOKEN ABOUT THAT. UM BUT YES, INTRODUCING MORE TIME TO THIS BILL, LETTING US THINK ABOUT IT A LITTLE BIT MORE. AND DISCUSS MORE DISCUSSION. MORE COMMENTS. WOULD NOT BE, UM, A BAD THING AT ALL. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU, DR MUELLER. I THINK TWO THINGS. I COUPLE OF THINGS I'M CONCERNED ABOUT. I FEEL LIKE SOME PEOPLE HAVE SOME MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT THIS. I'M NOT SAYING EVERYTHING. I'M JUST SAYING THERE'S A FEW ONE IS THE GENTLEMAN MENTIONED THAT IF YOU DON'T HAVE INTERNET ACCESS, YOU COULDN'T IT DOES SAY OR A PHONE CALL. IT DOES SAY OR PHONE CALL, SO WE WERE TAKING THAT INTO CONSIDERATION THAT SOME PEOPLE DIDN'T HAVE INTERNET ACCESS. ONE OF THE THINGS I'M SORRY WE WOULD LOSE BY NOT DOING THIS IS THE VIRTUAL COMMENT BECAUSE THE VIRTUAL COMMENT IS NOT PART OF OUR POLICY NOW, AND I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE THAT PART OF OUR POLICY FOR THE REASONS PEOPLE SAID, GETTING A BABY SITTER FOR SOMEBODY WITH A DISABILITY. IT CAN MAKE IT VERY DIFFICULT FOR THEM TO COME HERE AND I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO LEAVE THAT VIRTUAL OPTION OPEN FOR THEM. UM I MENTIONED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE MEETING AND I STILL STAND BY IT. I DON'T THINK I THINK THE THREE MINUTE TIME IS FAIR FOR EACH PERSON TO HAVE A THREE MINUTE TIME LIMIT, BUT I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD LIMIT THE NUMBER OF OVERALL COMMENTS IN MOST MEETINGS. THERE AREN'T THAT MANY COMMENTS, BUT SOMETIMES THERE'S AN ISSUE. I THINK THE

[02:20:01]

ONLY THING ANY OF HIS MIND IS WHEN PEOPLE READ OUT OF THE SCRIPT, AND WE HAVE 40 PEOPLE READING THE SAME SCRIPT, AND IT GOES ON ALL NIGHT. BUT I GUESS IF THAT'S WHAT THEY NEED TO DO, THAT'S WHAT THEY NEED TO DO. THAT'S WHAT THEY FEEL IS IMPORTANT FOR THEM TO READ THE SAME SCRIPT. LET THEM READ THE SAME SCRIPT. I MEAN, I CAN LIVE THROUGH IT. I HAVE FOR QUITE A FEW MEETINGS. I DO LIKE WHEN PEOPLE EMAIL US BECAUSE THEN WE HAVE A CHANCE TO WRITE BACK TO THEM. WE CAN ANSWER THEIR CONCERNS. WE CAN DO IT ONE ON ONE, AND THAT GIVES ME A BETTER IDEA. BETTER CHANCE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE CONCERNS REALLY ARE. SO I CANNOT SUPPORT . UM THIS CHANGE IN POLICY AT THIS TIME WITH THE WAY IT'S WRITTEN. OKAY? ALRIGHT. ANY OTHER COMMENTS? FROM ANY BOARD MEMBERS. I HAVE ONE MORE COMMON . I WANTED TO MAKE. UH RACHEL, IF THAT'S OKAY. THIS IS PATRICIA BACARDI. THANK YOU. UM THERE WAS A COMMENT MADE EARLIER IN THE PUBLIC COMMENTS THAT SAID THAT UH, OUR ATTORNEY AND OUR SUPERINTENDENT WAS PUSHING THIS AGENDA AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE IT'S CLEAR TO THE PUBLIC. THAT THIS POLICY WAS VERY OUTDATED AND AS A BOARD WE WANTED THE POLICY TO BE REVIEWED TO MAKE IT MORE INCLUSIVE, BUT WHAT WE WERE ACTUALLY DOING TODAY VERSUS WHAT THE POLICY STATED, AND AS I SAID IN MY COMMENTS EARLIER, MANY OF THESE CHANGES NEED TO BE MADE. BUT THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS INITIATED. BY THE BOARD OF EDUCATION, AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT'S CLEAR TO THE PUBLIC.

THANK YOU, PRESIDENT GARVEY. OKAY, SO THE WAY. DR BAUER PHRASED HIS MOTION WAS THAT WE WOULD HAVE THE CONVERSATION. WITH POSSIBLE AMENDMENTS. DOES ANYONE AT THIS TIME WANT TO MAKE AN AMENDMENT? TO THIS POLICY. IF NOT THEN WE'RE GOING TO JUST VOTE ON IT AS IT STANDS. CAN CAN WE MAKE AN AMENDMENT TO TABLE. FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION. NO WE'RE GOING TO VOTE ON IT ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. WE HAVE THE MOTION. THIS IS DAVID. I WOULD CLARIFY. I THINK THAT TABLE ENGLISH TAKE PRECEDENT OVER VOTING YES OR NO ON THE POLICY. SO JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS TO CONSIDER, UM. ONE THING REGARD WITH REGARD TO ADJUSTING POLICIES IS, IF WE MAKE ANY SUBSTANTIVE CHANGES, WE SHOULD PUT IT BACK OUT MORE TIME. SO RATHER THAN STABLING. A STRATEGY THAT MIGHT BE MORE PRODUCTIVE IS TO DISCUSS WHICH CHANGES THE BOARD'S INTERESTED IN, INCLUDING AND ESSENTIALLY ANY CHANGE. ANYTHING BEYOND. PUNCTUATION AND YOU KNOW, GRAMMAR BECOMES ESSENTIALLY.

I'LL TURN TO MY ATTORNEY TO REINFORCE THAT HE'S NODDING HIS HEAD THAT ANYTHING BEYOND GRAMMAR OR PUNCTUATION, OR, YOU KNOW, SIMPLE WORD. ANYTHING THAT REALLY CHANGES HOW THE POLICY READ. THE IMPACT OF THE POLICY WOULD BE SUBSTANTIVE. WHICH WOULD MEAN THAT SHOULD WE PROPOSE AMENDMENTS THAT NEEDS TO GO OUT FOR ADDITIONAL COMMENT PERIOD. AND THAT WOULD BE YOU CAN GO A COUPLE OF WAYS YOU CAN VOTE ON IT AS IT IS UP OR DOWN, AND THEN THE CONVERSATION COULD BE OVER. YOU CAN SUGGEST CHANGES, WHICH WOULD MEAN IT COMES BACK FOR ADDITIONAL CONVERSATION AGAIN. THAT CAN KEEP HAPPENING IF IT NEEDS TO. UH UM. IN THROUGH FUTURE MEETINGS. UH UM. BUT. AND I WON'T GET INTO ANY OF THE COMMENT OF WHAT WAS DISCUSSED.

LIKE I SAID, I MEAN, THIS REALLY HAS BEEN DISCUSSION THAT THE BOARD HAS BEEN ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN AND THERE'S A LOT OF OPINIONS AMONG YOU AND YOU REPRESENT SOME OF THE THINGS I'VE TALKED ABOUT AS WELL. SO I'LL LEAVE THAT TO ALL OF YOU. BUT THE DIFFERENT I THINK THE DIFFERENT APPROACHES APPROACHES FOR HOW TO MOVE THROUGH THIS POLICY. WHETHER WE WANT TO SUGGEST AMENDMENTS LET PEOPLE COMMENT ON THAT. THAT MIGHT BE MORE CLEAR FOR FOLKS THAN JUST TABLING. THEN WE START OVER IF WE TABLE BUT THAT WOULD THAT WOULD MEAN JUST 30 DAYS. PUBLIC PUBLIC COMMENT RIGHT PUBLIC? YES ANYTHING THAT WE AMEND IF WE JUST IF SOMEBODY INTRODUCES AN AMENDMENT, SO SOMEBODY MENTIONED DOCTOR MILLER MENTIONED LEAVING VIRTUAL COMMENTS AND THAT WOULD BE AN AMENDMENT. IF THAT WAS SOMETHING WE WOULD PUT IN, UM, NOTIFICATION ON THE DAY OF SOMEBODY WANTED TO SUGGEST THAT THAT BE DROPPED OR CHANGED OR WHATEVER THOSE ARE ALL SENSITIVE. CHANGES AND WHILE WE COULD VOTE ON THEM, IT JUST GOES BACK OUT TO THE PUBLIC FOR ANOTHER 30 DAY. TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND MAKE A COMMENT PERIOD. YES THAT THAT THAT'S CORRECT. SO DR WILSON SAID IT CORRECTLY, SO THE INTENTION OF THE EVENING INITIALLY WAS TO COME AND VOTE ON THE POLICY AS PRESENTED BY MS NEAL ON JULY 18TH. NOW YOU HAVE A COUPLE OF OTHER OPTIONS. UM, PERHAPS THERE IS A CHANGE OR AN AMENDMENT THAT THE BOARD WOULD LIKE TO MAKE IN THE POLICY AND

[02:25:06]

AS DISCUSSED IF IT'S NON SUBSTANTIVE. YOU CAN VOTE. TO MAKE THAT AMENDMENT AND THEN HAVE A VOTE ON THE POLICY AS AMENDED. BUT IF IT IS AN AMENDMENT THAT IS SUBSTANTIVE THEN. THAT. FIRST OF ALL, YOU WOULD HAVE TO VOTE TO MAKE THAT AMENDMENT AND YOU'D HAVE TO BE SPECIFIC ABOUT WHAT AMENDMENT IS BEING MADE TO THE POLICY. THE REMOVAL OF SUCH AND SUCH SO THAT WE KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THE POLICY LOOKS LIKE WHEN THE MEETING ENDS TONIGHT, AND THEN IF IT'S SUBSTANTIVE, IT DOES NEED TO GO BACK OUT TO THE PUBLIC FOR A 30 DAY PERIOD. UM AND AS DR BOLSON MENTIONED, WE WOULD GO THROUGH THE VARIOUS SUGGESTIONS FOR AMENDMENTS THAT BOARD MEMBERS MIGHT HAVE AND EACH ONE OF THOSE AMENDMENTS. WE NEED TO BE VOTED ON. SO THAT AT THE END OF THIS PRESENTATION WE KNOW WHAT IS GOING OUT TO THE PUBLIC. IT IS THE POLICY THAT MS NEAL PRESENTED WITH THESE AMENDMENTS. THE OTHER OPTION IF THERE'S AMENDMENTS CANNOT BE DECIDED UPON TONIGHT IS THE TABLING OPTION. NOW, IF YOU WANTED TO DO THAT, YOU WOULD ALSO NEED TO DO VOTE. TO ESSENTIALLY NOT VOTE ON THIS YEA OR NAY TONIGHT BUT TO RETURN IT TO THE WORKGROUPS. AND TO TABLE IT. AND THEN THOSE NEW DISCUSSIONS IN NEW AMENDMENTS THAT WERE WORKED ON OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS OR WEEKS WITHIN IT TO BE BROUGHT BACK AND RECOMMENDED AGAIN. I'M GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS AGAIN. OKAY? MR KERR. WELL YOU'VE GOT YOUR HAND UP. YES I DO. I REALLY THINK THAT WE NEED TO TABLE IT BECAUSE UM, THE AMENDMENTS WERE TALKING ABOUT OUR SUBSTANTIVE AND QUITE FRANKLY, I DIDN'T REWRITE THE PART THAT I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE CHANGED. SO. I THINK THAT, UM I WOULD NEED TIME. TO BE ABLE TO PRESENT IT IN A REASONABLE AND CONSTRUCTIVE MANNER. OKAY? MR CARDI, YOU HAVE YOUR HAND UP. YES, I DO. THANK YOU. UM I GUESS I'M REITERATING WHAT MS KAWASAKI SAID, BECAUSE. SOME OF THE OPTIONS THAT WERE BROUGHT FORWARD BY THE PUBLIC WHERE IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT. UM AND I THINK THIS BLANKET REFERRED TO IT TOO. AND I KNOW ONE OF THE, UM COLLINS. VIRTUAL CALLERS MENTIONED IT TO. I'M NOT SURE HOW TO CHANGE THOSE SECTIONS THAT WOULD MAKE IT EASIER FOR PARENTS TO YOU KNOW, WE TALKED ABOUT TWO O'CLOCK THAT DAY. IS IT OKAY? IS THAT A GOOD TIME? IS IT A BAD TIME? I JUST THINK THERE'S TOO MUCH INVOLVED IN MODIFYING. THIS THAT WE COULD ACCOMPLISH TONIGHT AND IF WE'RE GOING TO EXTEND THE TIME PERIOD FROM 45 MINUTES TO AN HOUR OR TWO HOURS, OR WHATEVER THAT MIGHT BE. THAT MAY BE MORE ACCEPTABLE TO THE PUBLIC, BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE'RE GOING FROM, UH. TO ALMOST AN UNKNOWN BASED ON PUBLIC REQUEST ALMOST COMPLETE NIGHT OF PUBLIC COMMENT , WHICH HAS NOT HAPPENED THUS FAR. SO UM, I WANT TO HEAR WHAT THE PUBLIC IS SAYING, BUT I DON'T THINK I'M PREPARED TO MAKE THE MODIFICATION TONIGHT, AS MR KARWACKI SAID, AND THANK YOU. OKAY? DAVID SORRY, DOCTOR, MOM.

OKAY, SO WHY DID TO CLARIFY. READING THROUGH MY NOTES, UM. THE LIMIT ON THE NUMBER OF SPEAKERS WAS THE MAIN CONCERN. THE SIGN UP WITH THE SECOND CONCERN. IF WE AH, ELIMINATE THE LIMIT ON THE NUMBER OF SPEAKERS. THEN THAT VERY EASILY RETURNS US TO THE CURRENT PRACTICE OF SIGN UPS. AH! UP UNTIL THE START OF THE MEETING OR SO. SO ARE THERE. OTHER AREAS OF THE POLICY THAT WE WANT TO DISCUSS BESIDES THOSE TWO UM, FOR EXAMPLE, THE POLICY DOES NOT SPECIFY WHEN IN THE MEETINGS. WE HAVE PUBLIC COMMENT. I DO NOT BELIEVE. SO THAT MOVING PUBLIC COMMENT TO THE END OF THE MEETING. WOULD NOT BE COVERED HERE. OR OTHER DECISIONS LIKE THAT. SO IS YOUR QUESTION DOES ANYONE ELSE SO ARE THERE OTHER THINGS IN THE POLICY THAT WE NEED TO DISCUSS? OTHER

[02:30:05]

THAN REMOVING THE LIMIT ON SPEAKERS AND OPENING UP, SIGN UP TO INCLUDE DAY OF IN PERSON. SO MY UNDERSTANDING BASED ON WHAT EVERYBODY WAS SAYING WAS THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO AT LEAST HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT LEAVING THE VIRTUAL COMMENT. PEACE OPEN AS WELL, GIVING THAT AS AN OPPORTUNITY I WILL SEE. YEP. CLEAR IF I THAT NOPE. IT'S NOT IN THE POLICY CYBER OPTION COLLINS OR NOT. PART OF THIS POLICY AS I MAYBE I'M JUST LOOKING AT THE WRONG END OF IT.

I THOUGHT IT WAS IN THERE, THOUGH. I THOUGHT THAT WAS ONE OF THE CHANGES. THAT MISS NEIL PUT IN THERE. WE READ A LOT OF THINGS, AND SOMETIMES EVERYBODY'S MEMORY ISN'T AS PERFECT AS YOURS MIGHT BE. SO WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S IN THERE. THAT'S IMPORTANT TO US COMMENT. IT IS IN THERE. I WAS READING THE WRONG END. AND I AGREE WITH WHAT DAVID'S PROPOSED. THOSE ARE THE TWO CHANGES THAT I SEE. THAT I'VE IF DAVID WERE TO MAKE. A MODIFICATION TO THE AMENDMENT. THAT'S WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR. OKAY SO IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO MAKE AN IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO MAKE AN AMENDMENT AMENDMENT NOW WOULD BE THE TIME. THIS CROAKY MR ROBINSON. OTHER COMMENTS ON WOULD THAT BE SUFFICIENT OR IS THERE OTHER TOPICS THAT WE NEED TO DISCUSS WITHIN THIS. YES DAVID, THIS IS SONIA. UM SECTION THREE. SECTION THREE IS THE ENTIRETY OF PUBLIC COMMENT ABOARD BUSINESS MEETINGS. CAN YOU BE MORE SPECIFIC? I WAS SPECIFIC IN THE COMMENTS THAT I GAVE EARLIER. I DO NOT THINK THAT IT NOTIFYING PEOPLE ON THE DAY OF THE MEETING THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE SELECTED. IS APPROPRIATE. I THINK IT'S. SO INSENSITIVE. CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG. IF WE HAVE NO LIMIT ON THE NUMBER OF SPEAKERS, THEN THERE'S NO SELECTION. THEN THERE'S NO TWO O'CLOCK TIME LIMIT. AM I WRONG ON THAT? THAT'S WHAT I UNDERSTAND THAT THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING. ALSO. THAT'S CORRECT. SO AND THEN AND DAVID TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION THAT THAT WOULD WORK FOR ME. OKAY SO I'M LOOKING AT THE LEADING SECTION THREE DOT A DOT TWO. AND THEN THREE DOT A DOT THREE. BYE.

THINK. COVERS IT. WE WOULDN'T NEED TO THEN DO THE SAME IN SECTION FOUR SO FORWARD THAT A THAT 24.8 DOT THREE I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE. IN THOSE SECTIONS THAT WE MIGHT NEED TO KEEP. RIGHT CAN I ASK A QUESTION AND SUPPORT OF WHAT DAVID IS SAYING? I GUESS I HAVE A QUESTION. THE QUESTION IS, IF WE. I'M ASSUMING THAT IF WE VOTE ON THIS, THE CHANGES ARE SUBSTANTIVE. SO HOW DOES IT GO BACK TO THE PUB REVIEW SO WE WOULD MAKE THE AMENDMENT HE WOULD HE WOULD HE WOULD MOVE ON THIS AMENDMENT, WHICH WOULD BE DELETING THESE SECTIONS. IT WOULD THEN BE VOTED ON. AND THEN AFTER WE VOTE ON IT, IT GOES BACK OUT TO THE PUBLIC. LIKE YES, THAT'S WHAT WE WANTED TO SAY. IT GOES BACK OUT TO THE PUBLIC FOR 30 DAYS FOR THEM TO COMMENT ON IT AGAIN WITH THOSE CHANGES. AND THEN IT COMES BACK TO US IN ANOTHER MEETING TO VOTE ON IT AS YES, WE'RE GONNA GO AHEAD AND PUT IT INTO POLICY. OR NO, WE NEED TO MAKE SOME OTHER CHANGES. THANK YOU. MEANTIME FOR THOSE 30 DAYS IS THAT IS IT AN ACTION THEN? SO IF THERE'S A BOARD MEETING IN BETWEEN THAT 30 DAYS CONTINUE ON AS WE HAVE, OKAY, SO THANK YOU TO BOARD MEETINGS WILL BE WITHIN THAT 30 DAY WINDOW. YES. AND THEY'LL REMAIN AS HOW WE'RE DOING THEM NOW, AS WE'VE DONE IT, THANK YOU. AND THIS IS SONIA AGAIN. WE ALSO NEED TO REMOVE SECTION FOUR. THE ENTIRETY. I ASSUME YOU MEAN 4.3 ARABIC NUMBER FOUR? YES. CAN I MAKE A SUGGESTION?

[02:35:13]

SHERIFF. CAN WE ASK DAVID TO MAYBE WITHDRAW HIS MOTION AND JUST BRING THIS BACK AND CLEAN IT UP AND TABLE IT AND BRING IT BACK AND CLEAN IT UP BECAUSE IT WAS OBVIOUSLY A LOT GOING ON HERE THAT NEEDS TO BE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND IT'S CHILDREN. REMOVING CAN ASK HIM TO DO THAT , BUT WE WOULD STILL NEED TO MAKE A VOTE TO TABLE. IT. UNDERSTOOD BACK TO THE WORK GROUPS SO WE CAN TABLE THAT ONE. BUT WE STILL NEED TO VOTE ON THAT TRYING TO JERRY RIG A POLICY UM THE WAY WE'RE TRYING TO DO IT RIGHT NOW. IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME. I THINK IT'S BEST JUST TO WITHDRAW THE MOTION. TABLE AND GO BACK. CLEAN IT UP. WE ALL WE ALL KNOW WHAT THE COMMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE. SEND THOSE COMMENTS TO, UM, JOHN AND KIMBERLY AND LET THEM TIDY IT UP A BIT. SO YOUR REQUEST IS THAT DR BAUER? RETRACT HIS MOTION. AND THEN I'LL NEED ANOTHER MOTION. TO TABLE IT AND SEND IT BACK TO THE WORK GROUPS. YES. YES, THAT'S WHAT I'M ASKING, OKAY. DR BAUER. YOU WILLING TO DO THAT, ACTUALLY LIKE THAT, ASK QUESTIONS. UM.

GET. SO THIS IS DAVID AH. SO WE HAVE TWO MORE BOARD MEETINGS LESS THAN 30 DAYS FROM TODAY. SO IF WE BASICALLY PUT THIS OUT, I GUESS TODAY AS HERE'S THE NEXT VERSION THAT WE WON'T COMMENT OY WITHDRAW THAT AND REISSUE THAT AT THE NEXT MEETING OR THE ONE AFTER THAT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE QUESTION. I'M SORRY. SO. I'M LOOKING FOR THE POLICY AND THE SECTIONS TO ME. LOOK TO BE PRETTY. CLEANLY DONE SUCH THAT WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO DELETE THE FOUR PARAGRAPHS AND THAT'S IT.

HMM. BUT IF WE FIND THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE WE NEED TO CHANGE. WE CAN, BASICALLY AT THE NEXT MEETING. SAY OKAY, WE WANT TO CANCEL THAT VERSION AND PUT OUT THE NEW VERSION. IT WOULD RESET THE 30 DAY. OH WINDOW. I ASSUME I ASSUME THERE'S NO PROBLEMS WITH US BASICALLY CANCELING THE PROPOSAL. WELL, I BELIEVE YOU COULD DO THAT TO GET TO THAT POINT TONIGHT. AS MENTIONED, YOU WOULD NEED TO HAVE VOTES. ON EVERY AMENDMENT THAT YOU WISH TO PUT INTO THE POLICY. TO CLOSE UP THE DISCUSSION THIS EVENING AND SEND IT OUT. SO IF THE BOARD COULD HAVE VOTES ON EACH ITEM, AND THEN. THERE'S AMENDMENTS ARE APPROVED BY A TWO THIRDS VOTE.

THEN YES, YOU COULD LEAVE THIS EVENING WITH A AMENDED POLICY THAT GOES OUT FOR 30 DAYS. TO DO SO YOU'D HAVE TO DO THAT WORK BEFORE THEN. TO VOTE ON EVERY SINGLE AMENDMENT. AND HAVE IT PASSED. BY TWO THIRDS VOTE. OKAY TO CLARIFY. UH I CAN SPECIFY ONE AMENDMENT THAT WAS JUST DELETES THE FOUR PARAGRAPHS. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE FOUR DIFFERENT AMENDMENTS. CORRECT. THANK YOU.

OKAY BALL'S IN YOUR COURT. WOULD YOU LIKE TO RETRACT YOUR PROMOTION? OR WOULD YOU LIKE TO CONTINUE ON AND MAKE YOUR AMENDMENT WOULD LIKE TO OFFER AN AMENDMENT? I WOULD LIKE.

PROPOSED THAT WE DELETE PARAGRAPHS. 3.82. THREE THAT 83. OR DOT A DOT TO 4.8 DOT. THREE ALL RIGHT. LET ME JUST READ IT BACK TO YOU. AND MAKE SURE THAT MR BURKE HAS THESE AS WELL. SO YOUR AMENDMENT. IT IS. YOU WOULD LIKE US TO VOTE ON IT WITH THE AMENDMENT THAT WE ARE DELETING FROM THE POLICY IS WRITTEN. THREE A. THREE DOT TWO WHICH IS THE SCROLL UP. ORDER OF BUSINESS OF ANY REGULAR MEETINGS WILL INCLUDE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC TO ADDRESS THE BOARD THROUGH UTILIZATION OF THE PROCEDURES OUTLINED IN SUBSECTIONS 12 AND THREE TO BEING THE ONE THAT SAYS THAT SAYS REQUESTS FOR PUBLIC COMMENT WILL BE NUMBERED IN ATTRACTING SYSTEM IN THE EVENT, MORE THAN 15 REQUESTS TO PROVIDE PUBLIC COMMENTS RECEIVED. THE WORDS ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT COORDINATOR WILL PROVIDE PRIORITY TO REQUEST FOR COMMENT ON THE BOARD AGENDA ITEM AND MORE RANDOMLY SELECTED 15 REQUESTS TO BE GRANTED USING THE

[02:40:03]

NUMBER TRACKING SYSTEM. THE BOARD RESERVES THE RIGHT TO CONSIDER THE NUMBER OF REQUESTS FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS RECEIVED ON A TOPIC WHEN MAKING THE RANDOM SELECTION IN AN EFFORT TO FAIRLY AND PROPORTIONATELY GRANT COMMENT ON AS MANY TOPICS REQUESTED AS POSSIBLE. THE BOARD ALSO RESERVES THE RIGHT TO SELECT UP TO FIVE ALTERNATES WHO MAY PROVIDE PUBLIC COMMENT IN THE EVENT THAT AN INDIVIDUAL OR GROUP SELECTED FOR PUBLIC COMMENT DECLINES. THE OPPORTUNITY OR FAILS, FAILS TO APPEAR IN PERSON OR VIRTUALLY AT THE BOARD MEETING. SO THAT WOULD BE ONE OF THE PIECES. WE THE FIRST PIECE THAT WE DELETE. THE SECOND PIECE WOULD BE INDIVIDUALS. SAME THING. 3.8 DOT THREE INDIVIDUALS OR GROUPS SELECTED TO PROVIDE PUBLIC COMMENT OR SELECTED AS AN ALTERNATE, WILL BE NOTIFIED BY EMAIL AND PHONE CALL BY TWO PM ON THE DAY OF THE BOARD MEETING, IN WHICH PUBLIC COMMENT WILL BE OFFERED. INDIVIDUALS OR GROUPS SELECTED TO PROVIDE PUBLIC COMMENT WILL BE PROVIDED WITH REQUIREMENTS FOR PUBLIC COMMENT.

WHICH MAY BE AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME BY THE BOARD OF EDUCATION, BUT SHALL INCLUDE THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF TIME IN WHICH EACH SPEAKER MAY PRESENT PUBLIC COMMENT. PROHIBITED TOPICS FOR PUBLIC COMMENT PROHIBITED BEHAVIORS WHEN OFFERING PUBLIC COMMENT OTHER HELPFUL GUIDELINES FOR PUBLIC COMMENT WOULD DELETE THAT AS WELL. AND THEN IT WOULD ALSO DELETE. FOR A TWO WHICH IS FOR A IS THE ORDER OF BUSINESS AT A PUBLIC HEARING SHALL INCLUDE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR CITIZENS TO ADDRESS THE BOARD THROUGH UTILIZATION OF THE PROCEDURES OUTLINED AND SUBSECTIONS 12 AND THREE BELOW TWO IS REQUESTS. INTERRUPT OKAY. UM, MY WRONG NO, I MADE A MISTAKE, OKAY? I MEAN, THE REASONS TO JUST TABLE AND COME BACK WHEN WE CLEAN IT UP. SORRY.

CONTINUE PLEASE CONTINUE OKAY FOR A TWO REQUESTS FOR PUBLIC COMMENT WILL BE NUMBERED IN A TRACKING SYSTEM IN THE EVENT MORE THAN 15 REQUESTS PROVIDE PUBLIC COMMENTARY RECEIVED. THE BIRDS ADMINISTRATORS SUPPORT COORDINATOR WILL RANDOMLY SELECT 15 REQUESTS TO BE GRANTED USING THE NUMBER TRACKING SYSTEM. THE BOARD RESERVES THE RIGHT TO CONSIDER THE NUMBER OF REQUESTS FOR PUBLIC COMMENT ON THE BOARD HEARING AND TO ALLOW MORE THAN 15 REQUESTS TO BE GRANTED. THE BOARD ALSO RESERVES THE RIGHT TO SELECT 25 ALTERNATES WHO MAY PROVIDE PUBLIC COMMENT IN THE EVENT THAN INDIVIDUAL OR GROUP SELECTED FOR PUBLIC COMMENT TO CLEANSE THE OPPORTUNITY OR FAILS TO APPEAR. PERSON OR VIRTUALLY AT THE BOARD MEETING. BASICALLY JUST MIRRORING WHAT WAS ALREADY SAID. AND THEN FOR A THREE, WHICH ALSO MIRRORS WHAT WE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT THREE, WHICH IS INDIVIDUALS OR GROUPS SELECTED TO PROVIDE PUBLIC COMMENT OR SELECTIVE AND ALTERNATE WILL BE NOTIFIED BY EMAIL AND PHONE CALL BY TWO PM ON THE DAY OF THE BOARD MEETING, IN WHICH PUBLIC COMMENT WILL BE OFFERED INDIVIDUALS OR GROUPS SELECTED TO PROVIDE PUBLIC COMMENT WILL BE PROVIDED WITH REQUIREMENTS FOR PUBLIC COMMENT, WHICH MAY BE AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME BY THE BOARD OF EDUCATION. BUT SHALL INCLUDE THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF TIME IN WHICH EACH SPEAKER MAY PRESENT. PUBLIC COMMENT. PROHIBITED TOPICS FOR PUBLIC COMMENT PROHIBITED BEHAVIORS, ONE OFFERING PUBLIC COMMENT AND OTHER HELPFUL GUIDELINES FOR PUBLIC COMMENT.

THOSE ARE THE FOUR PIECES ESSENTIALLY JUST MIRRORING EACH OTHER IN THREE AND FOUR. CORRECT WE SHOULD GET RID OF THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT AS WELL BE. YEAH DAVID WOULD LIKE TO PUT THAT IN HIS AMENDMENT. THAT IS FINE WITH ME. PUBLIC COMMENT BY FOR FOUR FT OR PHOEBE. THAT'S A PUBLIC COMMENT AT A BOARD. PUBLIC HEARINGS SHOULD ADDRESS ONLY THE TOPIC, WHICH IS THE SUBJECT OF THE HEARING. THAT'S VERY HEARING NOT FOR THE BOARD MEETING. THAT'S NOT FOR A BOARD MEETING. SO FOR INSTANCE, IF WE WERE DOING HEARING ABOUT WE JUST RATING REDISTRICTING PASSING.

WHATEVER LIKE A PUBLIC INTEREST TOPIC THAT COMES UP BECAUSE WE'RE DOING SOMETHING. CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION? SURE WHAT ABOUT JANSEN'S COMMENT ABOUT MOVING PUBLIC COMMENT AND TO THE END OF THE MEETING IS THAT IS THAT ADDRESSED? ANYWHERE IN THE AMENDMENTS. NO, IT'S NOT.

NOWHERE IN THE POLICY. DOES IT TALK ABOUT WHERE THE COMMENT IS , AND I THINK THAT'S ANOTHER BIG DISCUSSION BECAUSE I THINK INPUT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE MEETING BEFORE WE DISCUSS TOPICS IS IMPORTANT. OTHERWISE, THINK ABOUT ALL THESE PEOPLE CAME TODAY TO TALK ABOUT THIS POLICY . WE WOULDN'T GET THEIR INPUT TILL AFTER WE VOTED ON IT. THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME. WELL, WE ALREADY HAVE THEIR INPUT BY EMAILS. WE KNEW WHAT WAS GOING TO BE SAID. IT WAS JUST THEY JUST CONFIRM WHAT WE'VE BEEN READING FOR THE PAST 30 DAYS. NO, I UNDERSTAND, BUT IF WE MOVE IT FOR FUTURE MEETINGS. THEN WE WOULDN'T HAVE HAD THAT OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY. PRIOR TO A VOTE. I THINK THAT THIS IS JOYCE. I THINK THAT KEEPING OUT THE ORDER NOT PUTTING THAT IN THE POLICY ALLOWS US TO FLEX THE FLEXIBILITY TO MODIFY THE ORDER OF BUSINESS. UM, AS WE SEE FIT. AND I THINK THAT'S APPROPRIATE BECAUSE THERE'S BEEN TIMES

[02:45:02]

WHERE, UM YOU KNOW THAT WE'VE HAD TO DO THAT. FOR EXAMPLE, THE SUPERINTENDENT UM AH. SOMETHING.

THE PRESENTATION THAT DR WILSON GIVES ABOUT CONTINENTS, CONTINUITY OF LEARNING, WHICH SHIFTED BECAUSE WE CAN MODIFY. THE ORDER OF BUSINESS, SO I DON'T THINK THAT IN MY OPINION, I DON'T THINK THAT THAT SHOULD BE A PART OF THE POLICY WHERE WE HAVE PUBLIC COMMENTS. EXACTLY WHAT PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW WHAT YOU KNOW IF THEY'RE GONNA COME AT 6 30 EXPECTING TO SPEAK AT 6 45. AND THEY DON'T GET TO SPEAK TILL 9 30 OR 10 O'CLOCK. THEY'RE GOING TO BE A LITTLE THEY MAY NOT QUITE HONESTLY, THEY MAY NOT WANT TO STAY FOR THE WHOLE MEETING. THEY MIGHT WANT TO JUST COME THERE. PEACE AND MOVE ON AND THIS WAY, RIGHT? WE STILL THINK THAT'S THE SAME CONVERSATION. I DON'T THINK THAT THAT SHOULD BE. UM, PRESENTED IN THE POLICY. YEAH I THINK THAT'S A WHOLE SEPARATE CONVERSATION. WE CAN HAVE A DIFFERENT TIME. OKAY? SO. THE WAY I'M UNDERSTANDING IT IS DAVID'S MOTION IS TO VOTE ON THE POLICY AS PRESENTED WITH THE AMENDMENT THAT WE ARE DELETING. 3.8 DOT 23.8 DOT 34.8 DOT 24.8 DOT THREE IS THAT CORRECT? I BELIEVE WE SHOULD VOTE ON THE AMENDMENTS SEPARATE FROM THE WHOLE POLICY. A GREEN PRETTY SURE WE HAVE TO VOTE ON THE AMENDMENT. FIRST MADAM PRESIDENT THAT THAT IS CORRECT, SO JUST SORT OF TO REMIND EVERYONE OF WHERE WE ARE AT THIS MOMENT. IF WE GO DOWN THIS ROAD OF AMENDING THE POLICY THAT MS NEAL PRESENTED SUCH AS DR BAUER HAS SUGGESTED. THEN WE TAKE A VOTE ON IT. WITH TWO THIRDS YEA OR NAY. AND IF IT'S YES THEN THOSE AMENDMENTS PRESENTED BY DR BAUER BECOME PART OF THE DOCUMENT THAT WE ALL HAVE IN FRONT OF US. I WOULD ALSO RECOMMEND THAT THEN IF WE DO GO DOWN THIS ROAD THAT EVERY BOARD MEMBER BE GIVEN THE CHANCE TO DO SOMETHING. SIMILAR AND SAY , WELL, I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO DO SOMETHING TO SECTION X WHATEVER IT BE. THE INTENT OF THIS STRATEGY WOULD BE TO ARRIVE AT A DOCUMENT AT THE END OF THE EVENING. THAT EVERYONE HAS VOTED ON AND IT'S GOING UP AND IT'S GOING OUT TO THE PUBLIC. SO THERE IS THAT METHOD SO THAT YOU CREATE A DOCUMENT BASED ON THE EDITS, SUGGESTED AND VOTED UPON. WHERE THERE IS THE PATH OF TABLING. AND I THINK YOU KNOW YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU EITHER. OF THOSE TWO CHOICES. OKAY. ALL OF THE BOARD MEMBERS DO OKAY? SINCE HE IS CONTINUING ON WITH HIS MOTION. THEN I AM HONORING THAT MOTION WITH THIS AMENDMENT AND ASKING BASICALLY, IF ANYBODY ELSE HAS ANY OTHER AMENDMENTS THEY WOULD LIKE TO MAKE. AND THEN WE WILL VOTE ON IT. AS ONE WHOLE, LIKE WE'RE VOTING ON HIS AMENDMENT AND HER AMENDMENT THAT AMENDMENT IN THIS AMENDMENT. I THINK WE SHOULD VOTE ON THE AMENDMENTS INDIVIDUALLY. SO DAVID'S FIRST AND THEN SEE IF ANYBODY ELSE HAS ANOTHER AMENDMENT. YES THE AMENDED POLICY. THAT'S RIGHT, OKAY.

ALRIGHT LET ME SAY ALSO, IF DAVID'S DR BOWERS AMENDMENTS DON'T PASS, IT DOESN'T MEAN THE OTHER BOARD MEMBERS DON'T HAVE A CHANCE TO ALSO PROPOSED AMENDMENTS. OKAY? BUT THEY WOULD ALSO AT THAT TIME HAVE A HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE A MOTION TO TABLE IT AND SEND IT BACK TO THE WORKGROUP. YES BECAUSE AT SOME POINT IN THE EVENING, WE NEED TO DISPOSE OF THIS CONVERSATION AND DO SOMETHING. FORWARD, SO IT'S EITHER UH, YOU KNOW, COME TO A CONCLUSION ABOUT THE CONVERSATION AND HAVE AN IDEA OF WHERE WE'RE TAKING THE POLICY SO IT COULD BE A VOTE SIMPLY YEA OR NAY WILL GO BACK TO WHAT MISS NEIL PRESENTED OR IT COULD BE A TABLING. METHOD, OKAY? FIRST WE'RE GOING WITH THIS GOT IT. FOLKS, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO. WE'RE GONNA VOTE ON DR BOWERS. MOTION WITH THE AMENDMENT OF THESE DELETIONS. YEAH CAN I JUST CLARIFY SOMETHING, SO I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY IT FOR THE PUBLIC. THAT'S HERE, AND IT'S LISTENING.

IS THIS WOULD REMOVE THE TIME LIMIT. OF THE TOTAL NUMBER SPEAKERS. THIS WOULD REMOVE THE RESTRICTION ON THE TOTAL NUMBER SPEAKERS, EITHER AT A BOARD MEETING OR AT A PUBLIC HEARING.

WHAT IT DOESN'T TAKE OUT IS THAT WE WOULD STILL HAVE THE VIRTUAL COMMENTS THAT YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS COULD BE FILLED OUT ON A FORM ON THE INTERNET OR CALLED IN SO THAT THE OPPORTUNITY FOR

[02:50:03]

PEOPLE TO DOCKS YOU WOULD BE REDUCED. ELIMINATED UNLESS YOU FILL OUT THE FORM WHEN YOU'RE HERE THAN SOMEBODY COULD LOOK OVER YOUR SHOULDER. I CAN'T CONTROL EVERYTHING. THAT'S SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT FOR THE AMENDMENT RIGHT NOW TO REMOVE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN THE RESTRICTIONS. WE HAVE A QUESTION. CAN I ANSWER IT? NO I'M NOT GOING TO START. OKAY VOTE ON THIS FIRST AND NOT INTRODUCE ANOTHER QUESTION JUST YET, DAVID. THAT'S ONE I'M GOING TO HAVE A SECOND MINOR AMENDMENT AFTER THIS. OKAY? MADAM PRESIDENT IF I MAY JUST STATE FOR THE RECORD JUST TO REMIND US THAT ONCE WE TAKE THIS VOTE, AND LET'S SAY DR BOWERS AMENDMENTS ARE APPROVED AND PUT INTO THE POLICY, THEY ARE SUBSTANTIVE, CORRECT STEP. THAT'S WHY WE'RE SENDING IT BACK TO THE PUBLIC FOR 30 DAY PERIOD, AND THEN THEY WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO.

THAT ALL OVER AGAIN. THAT'S CORRECT, OK? HMM. OKAY. IS IT SOMETHING THAT YOU WANTED TO ADD TO THIS AMENDMENT? DR BAUER? I GUESS SO. OKAY? SO I'M LOOKING SORRY. SECTION 3.8 TO 1.

CURRENTLY DOES SPECIFIED BY NOON ON THE DAY OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING. UM SO WE WOULD NEED TO EXPAND THAT. UNFORTUNATELY IT'S NOT GOING TO BE AS CLEAN AS JUST DELETING PARAGRAPHS. SO THAT'S ACTUALLY WHAT WE ALREADY DO AT THIS POINT IN TIME. THEY HAVE UNTIL NOON OF THE DAY. OF MEANING. SO THEY HAD, FOR INSTANCE, UNTIL NOON TODAY TO SIGN UP. THE ONLY THING THAT WAS ADDED TO THAT. WAS THE LOCAL ADDRESS. OKAY. AGENDA ITEM. AND THAT'S IT BECAUSE IT WILL. NO, THAT'S NOT IT WHETHER THE SPEAKER SEEKS TO PROVIDE IMPERSONAL VIRTUAL BECAUSE ALL THE ONES THAT WE GET ONLINE ARE CURRENTLY VIRTUAL. SO I GUESS WE WOULD NEED TO ADD. A NEW SECTION OR, UM, OR COMMENT TO THIS THAT SPECIFIES AN IN PERSON SIGNED UP OPTION. DO YOU MEAN FOR SOMEBODY TO WALK IN THE NIGHT OF THE MEETING AND MAKING IN PERSON COMMENT? OKAY? I'M CHECKING THE OLD POLICY FOR THE LANGUAGE THEY USE. ALRIGHT, LET'S SINCE THAT'S GOING TO REQUIRE SOME WORDS, SOMETHING FOR SURE. LET'S GOING ON. WHAT YOU HAVE IN TERMS OF DELETIONS WILL GIVE YOU A SECOND TO THINK ABOUT WHATEVER IT IS, YOU MIGHT WANT TO ADD IN. WHAT'S THE VOTE ON THE MOTION AS IT STANDS, WHICH IS TO APPROVED. THE POLICY AS WRITTEN WITH THE DELETION OF 38.238 POINT 348.2 AND 48.3. MADAM PRESIDENT. I DON'T LIKE THE LANGUAGE THERE. I THINK. I THINK TO AMEND THE PROPOSAL BY DOING WHATEVER NOT TO ACCEPT THE POLICY. SO THE MOTION, IN EFFECT NOW IS TO AMEND THE POLICY IN FRONT OF US. NOT TO ACCEPT IT. OKAY? GO AHEAD AND SAY IT, HOWEVER, YOU WOULD LIKE TO SAY IT. OKAY GOING TO WRITE IT DOWN, SO I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS EMOTIONAL, JUST OFFERING AMENDMENT. HMM. THE CHARGE BEFORE TO DELAY THE FOUR PARAGRAPH. I NEED TO SAY MORE THAN THAT. THAT COVERS IT IN THE SENSE THAT YOU YOU NEED TO MAKE A MOTION TO AMEND THE POLICY THAT IS BEFORE US THIS EVENING AND THEN AND YOU NEED TO EXPLAIN WHAT YOUR AMENDMENTS ARE SO MOTION IS TO AMEND THE POLICY BEFORE US BY DELETING PARAGRAPHS 3.8 DOT 23.83. 4.824 DOT 8.3.

OKAY? ALRIGHT WITH THAT. MR ALI, I'M GONNA HAVE YOU DO A REAL CLAVELL. I'M SORRY. I NEED A SECOND FOR THAT SECOND. RACHEL ARE WE FINISHED WITH THE DISCUSSION? YES WE'RE SONIA WITH THIS PART OF THIS AMENDMENT. OKAY, BECAUSE ALL RIGHT. SO I NEED A SECOND FOR DAVID'S MOTION

[02:55:05]

OF AMENDING THE POLICY. BY DELETING 3.8 POINT 23.8 POINT 34.8 POINT 24.8 POINT. THREE AND THERE ARE PORTIONS, THOUGH, OF THREE A DOUBT. 3.8 DOT ONE THAT ALSO NEED TO BE REVISED. OKAY, BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT HIS MOTION IS RIGHT NOW WE CAN ONLY VOTE ON THE MOTION BEFORE US. BUT FIRST I NEED A SECOND FOR THIS MOTION BEFORE WE CAN EVEN VOTE ON IT. AND I DON'T THINK SONYA'S UNDERSTANDING THAT WE'RE GOING TO GET TO THAT LATER. SONIA THIS IS JUST A FIRST PAST WITH WHAT DAVID IS PROPOSING CORRECT. THIS IS JACKSON AND I SECOND. WHAT? THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. DR BOWERS MOTION. MR ROBINSON SECOND, MISS RALLO. ROLL CALL VOTE, PLEASE. DR BAUER. YES. DR HAROLD YES. MS KARAKI. YES, BUT I'LL BE BACK. MISS KELLY. YES I AGREE WITH SONIA. I THINK YEAH, THEY'RE MORE DISCUSSION. DR PHILLIPS. I'M NOT SURE. PHILLIPS. I BELIEVE YOU'RE ON ME. YEAH, I'M BACK. IT'S MY TURN. YES, YES, YES. LET'S RICCARDI YES. MR ROBINSON. YES. HIS BLANKET. YES.

VICE PRESIDENT MUELLER. YES. PRESIDENT KOREA YES. MOTION PASSED, OKAY. SO WE'VE GOT THAT PART. STRICKEN. ALRIGHT, NEXT PART OF THE CONVERSATION. AND WE'LL GO IN ORDER AGAIN. SO MISS KELLY DO YOU WANT TO MAKE ANY AMENDMENTS? AT THIS TIME, OR WOULD YOU PREFER SOMEONE ELSE TO GO? I JUST THINK WE NEED I DON'T KNOW. HOW TO BREATHE THAT, UM BUT I AGREE WITH A LOT OF THE CONVERSATION THAT MAYBE WE SHOULD TABLE IN SEND IT BACK TO THE WORKING GROUP. OKAY? SO WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION? TO TABLE IT AS IT HAS BEEN VOTED ON AN AMENDED TO GO BACK TO THE WORKGROUPS TO CONTINUE TO REFINE IT. WE ASKED FOR ANY OTHER AND WE ASK FOR ANY OTHER CHANGES FIRST BEFORE WE TABLE IT BECAUSE ULTIMATELY I DON'T THINK IT'S A BAD IDEA TO GO BACK. BUT I'D LIKE TO GET ALL OUR THOUGHTS CAPTURED BEFORE WE JUST TABLE IT AT THIS POINT. SURE. I AGREE THIS CHOICE. I AGREE WITH THAT. ALRIGHT MADAM PRESIDENT IF I CAN MAKE A COMMENT, AND I THINK YOU HIT ON IT CORRECTLY, I WANTED TO SET FOR THE RECORD WHAT IS NOW OPEN FOR DISCUSSION IS THE AMENDED POLICY THAT WOULD JUST VOTED ON AS SUGGESTED BY DR BAUER. ANYTHING THAT WE MIGHT THE BOARD MIGHT FURTHER DISCUSSES, EDITS OR MIGHT SEND FOR TABLING NOW HAS PIECES.

THOSE THINGS HAVE BEEN STRICKEN. BECAUSE OF THE VOTE THAT JUST PASSED, SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT'S CLEAR FOR THE RECORD. OKAY? I THINK WE'RE GOOD. SO THE AMENDED POLICY THAT WAS JUST VOTED ON IS WHAT WE'RE NOW DISCUSSING. SO ALL OF THE PIECES IN TERMS OF LIMITING SPEAKERS. 15 REQUESTS UM. TIME DATE, ETCETERA. OH, LOOK ON YOURS. WHO WOULD LIKE TO GO FIRST IN TERMS OF MAKING OTHER SUGGESTIONS OR ACTUALLY, AT THIS POINT, IT'S GOING TO BE MOTIONS TO AMEND. DR BAUER. THANK YOU. OKAY? SO FOR REFERENCE AND BORROWING THE LANGUAGE FROM THE OLD POLICY. HERE TO SIMPLIFY THIS. I WOULD LIKE TO AMEND. PARAGRAPH 3.8 DOT ONE UM. AND.

OTHER PEOPLE CAN SUGGEST BETTER WORDSMITHING, BUT. AFTER THE FIRST SENTENCE. THAT STARTS INDIVIDUALS RECOGNIZED GROUPS AND WITH BY NOON ON THE DAY OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING.

I WANT THE SECONDS SENTENCE. UM BUT I DON'T. OR THEY MAY DO SO BY OBTAINING FROM THE DIRECTOR

[03:00:05]

OF INFORMATION IN COMPLETING A QUOTE REQUEST TO APPEAR BEFORE THE BOARD AND QUOTE CARD. THIS MUST BE SUBMITTED PRIOR TO THE OPENING OF THE MEETING. REFERENCE EXCEPT FOR THE. STIR THE SENTENCE THAT IS FROM PARAGRAPH 3.8 DOT TWO OF THE OLD POLICY. OKAY SO IN THE OLD POLICY, IT'S A CITIZENS WISHING TO SPEAK ON ANY AGENDA ITEM OR TO COMMENT ON ANY ITEM NOT ON THE AGENDA MAY DO SO BY OBTAINING FROM THE DIRECTOR OF INFORMATION AND COMPLETING REQUEST TO APPEAR BEFORE THE BOARD CARD. SO BASICALLY FILLING OUT YOU WANT THEM TO BE ABLE TO FILL OUT THE CARDS. IN ADDITION TO BEING ABLE TO SIGN UP ONLINE EMAIL OR PHONE CALL. OKAY? AND THEN THE SAME LANGUAGE CHANGE. WOULD BE DONE TO PARAGRAPH 4.8 DOT ONE. OKAY HOLD ON. I'M TRYING TO WRITE THIS ALL. THREE POINT. OKAY? ALRIGHT, SO. AND THE SECOND SENTENCE, WHICH IS ESSENTIALLY THE FIRST PART OF 3.2 IN THE OLD POLICY. CORRECT. YES OKAY. AND WHAT WAS YOUR SECOND THING? SAME THING. OH, FOR SO IT'S THE SAME THING WITH THE HEARINGS. UM, I SCROLLED PAST IT TO FIVE. OKAY, SO THEN IT WOULD ALSO BE FOUR POINT FOR POINT A QUITE ONE. MIRROR.

LANGUAGE. ADDED. FOUR. THREE POINT A 3.0.1. WHICH WOULD BE. SURE THERE IS. OKAY SO THE SECOND SENTENCE IN THAT PART WOULD THEN BECOME CITIZENS WISHING TO SPEAK ON ANY AGENDA ITEM OR TO COMMENT ON ANY ITEM NOT ON THE AGENDA MAY DO SO BY OBTAINING FROM THE DIRECTOR OF INFORMATION AND COMPLETING A REQUEST TO APPEAR BEFORE THE BOARD CARD. THIS MUST BE SUBMITTED PRIOR TO THE OPENING OF THE MEETING. CORRECT. MADAM PRESIDENT. I WAS NOT INTENDING TO COPY THE FIRST PART OF THAT SENTENCE. RACHEL COULD YOU READ THAT AGAIN, PLEASE? YES, MA'AM.

SO IT'S ON. PAGE TWO OF THE OLD POLICY. THREE POINT. SHOOT TO 3.8 POINT TWO SORRY. THOSE CITIZENS WISHING TO SPEAK ON ANY AGENDA ITEM OR TO COMMENT ON ANY ITEM NOT ON THE AGENDA MAY DO SO BY OBTAINING FROM THE DIRECTOR OF INFORMATION. AND COMPLETING A REQUEST TO APPEAR BEFORE THE BOARD CARD. THIS MUST BE SUBMITTED PRIOR TO THE OPENING OF THE MEETING. OKAY? AND THEN ARE WE GOING TO HAVE A COMMENT? FOR PEOPLE WHO WILL BE SPEAKING VIRTUALLY. HE JUST WANTS TO ADD THIS. IN ADDITION TO THE PEOPLE WHO CAN SPEAK VIRTUALLY IT'S TOO I I'M PUTTING WORDS IN YOUR MOUTH, DR BAUER. IT'S TO ENABLE THEM TO BE ABLE TO COME IN AND SIGN UP AS THEY HAVE BEFORE. YES OKAY, SO THEN I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION. AND THE UM THE NEWLY WRITTEN POLICY. THREE A ONE.

SAYS INDIVIDUALS ARE RECOGNIZED GROUPS WISHING TO SPEAK ON AN AGENDA ITEM. OR COMMENT ON EDUCATION RELATED MATTER, NOT ON THE AGENDA. MAY REQUEST TO DO SO BY SENDING AN EMAIL TO PUBLIC COMMENT OR CALLING BY NOON ON THE DAY OF THE BOARD MEETING, BUT IS THAT FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE REQUESTING TO CALL VIRTUALLY YES , BECAUSE IF YOU LOOK UNDER THAT, IT ALSO SAYS UM. UNDER SIX ROMAN NUMERAL SIX WHETHER THE SPEAKER SEEKS TO PROVIDE IN PERSON OR VIRTUAL PUBLIC COMMENT. OKAY, UM. BUT IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE IN PERSON WOULDN'T THEY JUST FILL OUT THE CARD WHEN

[03:05:08]

THEY COME? YES THE CURRENT THE CURRENT POLICY AS WE JUST VOTED ON IT. DOES NOT ALLOW FOR THAT.

SO DAVID IS DAVID IS TRYING TO REINTRODUCE THAT BACK INTO IT SO THAT PEOPLE DO HAVE THE OPTION OF COMING AND FILLING OUT THE CARD. I UNDERSTAND THAT BUT. IF I'M COMING TO THE BOARD MEETINGL AND TELL YOU I'M COMING AND I'M GOING TO SPEAK. YES, MA'AM. OKAY? THANK YOU. ALRIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ONE'S ABOUT THIS. YES, SIR. I WANTED TO CLARIFY THE LANGUAGE OF MY AMENDMENT. MY INTENT WAS TO PICK UP STARTING AT THE WORD MAY IN THAT SENTENCE. MAY REQUEST TO DO SO. MADE YOU SO. BY SENDING AN EMAIL. APOLOGIES THE LANGUAGE AND COPYING FROM THE OLD POLICY.

UM, I WAS NOT INTENDING TO REPEAT. THE PART. CITIZENS WISHING TO SPEAK ON ANY AGENDA ITEM OR THE COMMENT ON ANY ITEM NOT ON THE AGENDA. BECAUSE I FEEL THAT THAT PART IS ALREADY COVERED. BY THE LANGUAGE AND THE NEW POLICY. I AM SIMPLY TRYING TO ADD THE. ABILITY TO DO SO.

OKAY, HOLD UP. SO. YOU JUST WANT TO ADD. MADE YOU SO BY OBTAINING FROM THE DIRECTOR OF INFORMATION AND COMPLETING A REQUEST TO APPEAR BEFORE THE BOARD CARD BUSINESS BE SUBMITTED PRIOR TO THE OPENING OF THE MEETING. YOU'D HAVE TO ADD SOMETHING ALONG TH , YES. SO OKAY? I THINK I KNOW WHAT I SAID BEFORE THERE WAS THEY ALSO SO THEY ALSO MADE YOUD TRAINING FROM THE DIRECTOR OF INFORMATION DOT DOT DOT. ALL RIGHT. LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION. WOULD IT MAKE MORE SENSE? TO ADD ANOTHER LETTER IN PERHAPS SAYING THAT IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE INDIVIDUALS OR RECOGNIZED GROUPS MAY ALSO MAKE IT A NEW FOR THAT A DOT. TO I WAS THINKING ABOUT THAT, BUT I KIND OF WANT TO KEEP THE REST OF THE UH, LANGUAGE THERE. UM BASICALLY THE. IF FORMACION THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE CONTAINED ON THE SIGN UP. NO I UNDERSTAND THAT. WHAT I'M WHAT I'M SAYING IS, WE KEEP EVERYTHING THE WAY IT IS. FOR ONE. AND THEN JUST ADD AS A TWO. CITIZENS MAY ALSO LITERALLY JUST LIFT OUT THAT PIECE AND SAY THEY CAN ALSO FILL OUT A CARD. I'M FINE WITH THAT WAY TO DO IT. I WOULD CHANGE THE LANGUAGE. SHOULD BE THE INDIVIDUALS ARE RECOGNIZED GROUPS TO MATCH THE NEW POLICIES, LANGUAGE. MADAM MADAM PRESIDENT MAY ASK A QUESTION. DR BAUER. THE WAY THAT I READ CURRENTLY 3.8 DOT ONE THE FIRST SENTENCE. IS ESSENTIALLY THAT THERE ARE TWO METHODS TO CONTACT . THERE'S THE EMAIL AND THERE'S THE PHONE NUMBER. AND I THINK WHAT I'M HEARING IS, YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADD THE CARD AS A THIRD METHOD. YES, YES, WE COULD SIMPLY ADD. REFERENCE TO THE CARD IN THAT SENTENCE. IT WOULD BE 123. BUT THERE IS A DIFFERENCE THAT I WANT TO POINT OUT TO YOU WHEN REFERRING TO THE ORIGINAL POLICY. THE ORIGINAL POLICY, SAID THAT THE CARD CAN BE SUBMITTED PRIOR TO THE OPENING OF THE MEETING. BUT THE OTHER TWO METHODS IN THE NEW POLICY SAY THAT IT MUST BE SUBMITTED BY NOON. SO WHAT YOU COULD DO IS YOU COULD JUST ADD THE CARD. INTO THAT LIST.

CURRENTLY THAT LIST IN SECTION ONE HAS TWO METHODS OF COMMUNICATION. BUT THAT SENTENCE NUMBER ONE ALSO STATES BY NOON. SO YOUR INTENSITY AT THE END OF THE SENTENCE TO AVOID THE TIME RESTRICTION. SO IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE CARD AS THE OPTION I THINK YOU ADDED AS A

[03:10:04]

SECOND SENTENCE. INCLUDING YOUR NO TIME RESTRICTION. LIMIT. BECAUSE YOU DON'T. IF I'M HEARING YOU CORRECTLY, YOU DON'T WANT THERE TO BE A TIME RESTRICTION ON THE CARD THE WAY THERE IS FOR THE EMAIL AND THE PHONE NUMBER, THE TIME RESTRICTIONS SKIRTED. CORRECT.

SO IT SO IF THAT'S YOUR INTENT, THEN I THINK YOU NEED TO ADD A SECOND SENTENCE. AFTER THE WORD BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING TO DISCUSS YOUR CARD OPTION. THAT YOU'RE TAKING FROM THE ORIGINAL PROPOSAL. I THINK THAT'S PROBABLY THE CLEANEST WAY TO GO, OKAY? OKAY? SO WHAT YOU'RE SUGGESTING IS WE'RE JUST ADDING THE SECOND STATEMENT. 23.8 DOT. ONE CORRECT. ANYONE. SO I CAN. I HAVE TO CHECK THE RECORDING TOMORROW, BUT I THINK MY ORIGINAL AMENDMENT IS STILL WHAT I WANT. PROPOSAL HERE. UM SO TO REPEAT THE LANGUAGE. SO AFTER THE FIRST SENTENCE WHERE ENDS YOU KNOW BY NOON ON THE DAY OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION READING PERIOD THEY ALSO MAY DO SO BY OBTAINING FROM THE DIRECTOR OF INFORMATION AND COMPLETING A REQUEST TO APPEAR BEFORE THE BOARD CARD. THIS MUST BE SUBMITTED PRIOR TO THE OPENING OF THE MEETING. THERE HAVE BEEN CONTINUE. THE REQUEST TO PARTICIPATE IN PUBLIC COMMENTS MUST CONTAIN LIST. COME WITH US.

JUST TRYING TO GET IT ALL WRITTEN DOWN. BE CORRECT IN ASSUMING THE ONLY INFORMATION THE CARD WOULD NOT HAVE DONE AS WHETHER THEY SEEK TO VARIETY IN PERSON OR VIRTUAL BECAUSE THEY'D BE HERE. OKAY? THEY COULD POTENTIALLY FILL THE CARD MUCH EARLIER, FOR EXAMPLE, IF IT'S EMPLOYEE WHO WORKS IN THE BUILDING THEY COULD FILL THE CARD BEFORE THEY LEAVE FOR THE DAY AND THEN CALLING FROM HOME. OKAY. ALL RIGHT, SO JUST LEAVE IT. TRYING TO CLEAN THIS UP.

WHERE AGAIN? SO THAT IS YOUR AMENDMENT THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADD THE SECOND SENTENCE THAT WILL READ. THEY ALSO MAY DO SO BY OBTAINING FROM THE DIRECTOR OF INFORMATION AND COMPLETING A REQUEST TO APPEAR BEFORE THE BOARD CARD. THIS MUST BE SUBMITTED PRIOR TO THE OPENING OF THE MEETING. THAT'S GOOD. ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT. SO YOUR EMOTION IS YOU WOULD LIKE TO AMEND THE POLICY THAT WE HAVE ALREADY VOTED ON. DELETED THOSE PIECES. AND ADD UNDER THREE POINT A 0.0.1. IT WOULD THEN READ. INDIVIDUALS WERE RECOGNIZED GROUPS WISHING TO SPEAK ON AN AGENDA ITEM OR TO COMMENT ON AN EDUCATION RELATED MATTER NOT ON THE AGENDA MAY REQUEST TO DO SO BY SENDING AN EMAIL TO GHANA CALLING BY NOON ON THE DAY OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING. THEY ALSO THIS WOULD BE THE ADDITIONAL SENTENCE. THEY ALSO MAY DO SO BY OBTAINING FROM THE DIRECTOR OF INFORMATION AND COMPLETING A REQUEST TO APPEAR BEFORE THE BOARD CARD. THIS MUST BE SUBMITTED PRIOR TO THE OPENING OF THE MEETING. AND THEN WE GO ON TO READ THE REQUEST TO PARTICIPATE IN PUBLIC COMMENT MUST CONTAIN AND THEN IT WOULD BE ROMAN NUMERAL 12345 AND SIX YES, MADAM PRESIDENT. OKAY IDENTICAL CHANGES TO SECTION FOUR. SHOULD THERE BE A TIME LIMIT? AT WHAT TIME THAT PART CAN BE TURNED IN. BEGINNING OF THE MEETING IS THE BEGINNING OF THE MEETING. SO LIKE GET THE MEETING STARTS AT SIX. SOMEONE CAN TURN ONE IN 5 59. YEP. THAT'S WHAT THEY CAN DO NOW. YEP, OKAY. OKAY SO IT ALSO BE ADDED TO. FOR POINT A 0.0.1. MIRROR THE SAME LANGUAGE. OKAY? SO THAT IS YOUR MOTION. YES WE NEED A SECOND ON THAT MOTION. YES. ALRIGHT LET ANYONE LIKE TO SECOND, ADDING SOUNDS GOOD, OKAY? ANYONE LIKE TO SECOND, ADDING IN TO BOTH 3.8 POINT TWO I'M SORRY. 3.8 POINT 112 OTHER

[03:15:02]

THOUGHTS HERE. ADD YOU 3.8 POINT ONE AND 4.8 POINT ONE THEY ALSO MAY DO SO BY OBTAINING FROM THE DIRECTOR OF INFORMATION AND COMPLETING A REQUEST TO APPEAR BEFORE THE BOARD CARD. THIS MUST BE SUBMITTED PRIOR TO THE OPENING OF THE MEETING. I NEED A SECOND FOR THAT MOTION. THIS IS CAROLINE. SECOND WE BOTH SONIA, I'M GOOD WITH YOU THERE EITHER ONE. SONIA. I DON'T CARE. WORKS FOR ME, ALL RIGHT? IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT? I DON'T SEE ANY HANDS RAISED HERE OR VIRTUALLY ALRIGHT. SO MISS RALLO ROLL CALL VOTE. FOR DR BOWERS MOTION. TO CHANGE. I'M SORRY NOT TO CHANGE TO ADD TO 3.8 POINT ONE AND 4.8 POINT ONE AS THE SECOND SENTENCE. THEY ALSO MAY DO SO BY OBTAINING FROM THE DIRECTOR OF INFORMATION AND COMPLETING REQUEST TO APPEAR BEFORE THE BOARD CARD. THIS MUST BE SUBMITTED PRIOR TO THE OPENING OF THE MEETING. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE VOTING ON, FOLKS. DR BAUER. YES. DR HAROLD YES. MS KARAKI. YES. MISS KELLY. YES. DR PHILLIPS. DR PHILLIPS. I BELIEVE YOU'RE ON ME. WELCOME BACK TO MS RICCARDI. EXCELLENT. YES. YES.

SORRY. THANK YOU. MR ROBINSON. YES. YES. MS BLANKEN? YES. VICE PRESIDENT MILLER. YES. PRESIDENT GAUTIER. YES, THIS MOTION PASSES. ALL RIGHT. I THINK, PERHAPS IN THE NEXT THING SO.

DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANOTHER AMENDMENT THEY WOULD LIKE TO MAKE. ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. THIS AMENDED POLICY AMENDED AMENDED POLICY IS GOING TO GO OUT FOR ANOTHER 30 DAYS. IS THERE ANY OTHER PIECE OF THIS? ANYONE ELSE WOULD LIKE TO AMEND. DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN'T AMEND IT AGAIN AFTER THE 30 DAY. PUBLIC COMMENT. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THE SAME CONVERSATION AGAIN. SO YOU HAVE OPPORTUNITIES. BUT IS THERE MORE TO THIS SUBSTANTIVELY? WE SEEM TO HAVE ADDRESSED ALL THE THINGS THE TIMING OF THE COMMENTS. MAKING SURE THAT MORE PEOPLE CAN SPEAK. TABLED OKAY, THAT PART WE DIDN'T TABLE THAT CHANGE THE NOTIFICATION. AND THE VIRTUAL COMMUNIST STILL THERE.

AND THEN WE TOOK OUT THE TIME LIMITS. SO ALL OF THE ISSUES THAT WERE RAISED AS CONCERNS HAVE BEEN EITHER ELIMINATED. OR ADDED IN SO THAT THEY WERE A POSSIBILITY AGAIN. ALRIGHT, I'M GOING AROUND. DR BAUER. ANYTHING ELSE? NOPE. MISS KELLY. NO, THANK YOU. DR PHILLIPS. ANYTHING ELSE? I CAN COME BACK TO DR PHILLIPS, MISS. NO NO, NO, NO, NO, THANK YOU. MR RICCARDI.

ANYTHING ELSE? NO, THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, MISS KARWACKI. ANYTHING ELSE? NO, THANK YOU, DOCTOR, HAROLD. JUST LIKE ROY? NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. OKAY. MR ROBINSON. ANYTHING ELSE TO ADD, SUBTRACT. I DON'T EVEN KNOW NOPE. NOPE I DON'T EVEN WANT TO ADD, MULTIPLY AND DIVIDE IS AN OPTION, YOU KNOW, MARRIED TO A MATH TEACHER AND NOT A MATH TEACHER, MR BLINKEN. ANYTHING ELSE, PLEASE? NO FOR ACTIONS. I'M OKAY. THANK YOU, DR MUELLER. I'M GOOD. ALL RIGHT. SO, MR BURKE. WHAT WE HAVE NOW GONE THROUGH. WE ARE TAKING AWAY FROM ADDING TO THAT IS GOING TO GET AMENDED IN THE NEXT DAY OR SO YOU'LL REWRITE IT. FIX IT. TAKE IT OUT. MAKE IT LOOK PRETTY AND THEN IT WILL BE OUT ON THE WEBSITE HTTPS WEBSITE TO GO OUT FOR PUBLIC COMMENT AGAIN AS IT HAS BEEN AMENDED. THAT'S CORRECT . SO WHAT HAS PASSED TONIGHT IS AN AMENDED VERSION OF THE POLICY THAT MS NEAL ORIGINALLY PRESENTED. THERE'S AMENDMENTS ARE SUBSTANTIVE, SO THEY NEED TO GO BACK OUT TO THE POLICY FOR A 30 DAY PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD. AND THAT WILL WILL HAPPEN AFTER THIS MEETING. SO WE'RE GETTING A 30 DAY PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD AND THEN AFTER THAT IS UP, WE WILL COME BACK TOGETHER AGAIN. YOU WERE MISS NEIL WILL COME BEFORE US AGAIN. WE WILL GO THROUGH THIS AGAIN IN TERMS OF VOTING ON IT AFTER WE HAVE SEEN THE PUBLIC COMMENTS, CORRECT. THE EDITS THAT WERE MADE WILL BE MADE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE SO THERE CAN BE IN A FORMAT THAT GOES OUT ON THE WEBSITE. OKAY WE'LL COMMENCE THE 30 DAY PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD. ALRIGHT. SOUNDS GOOD WITH THAT.

[03:20:04]

I BELIEVE YOU'RE PART OF THIS IS OVER. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE. I WILL. I HAVE EVERYTHING WRITTEN DOWN TOO. SO MAYBE AFTER THE MEETING YOU AND I CAN GET TOGETHER AND JUST MAKE SURE WE'RE BOTH ON THE SAME PAGE AND HAVE IT ALSO HAVE MR ELLOS NOTES AND THE RECORDING

AND THE FABULOUS MR VALENTINO, OUR MASTER PLAN UBER FABULOUS, FABULOUS. AS YOU RECALL, UM JULY 18TH WE PRESENTED TO THE BOARD ARE 2024 C I P WE'RE HERE THIS EVENING TO HAVE ANOTHER DISCUSSION ABOUT OUR CAPITAL PROGRAM. UM, AS YOU'RE AWARE UM EVERY YEAR, ELIA'S ARE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT THEIR CAPITAL PLAN TO THE STATE FOR APPROVAL. SO WE'RE HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE STATE'S SUBMISSION. AND A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. WE KIND OF CHANGED THE PROCESS A LITTLE BIT WHERE OUR LOCAL REQUEST THAT IS DUE TO OUR COUNTY EXECUTIVE WILL COME BACK TO YOU LATER ON IN THE FALL TO HAVE SOME DISCUSSIONS ABOUT OUR SUBMISSION THAT WOULD GO WITH THE OPERATING BUDGET IN JANUARY, FEBRUARY SO TONIGHT'S PRESENTATION IS TO A LOT OF BOARD TO GET SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THE 2024 CAPITAL PROGRAM AND THEN ASKING QUESTIONS, AND WE'RE HERE TO PROVIDE ANY INFORMATION THAT YOU LIKE. WITH THAT. I'D LIKE TO TURN IT OVER TO MS VALENTINO, AND SHE'LL GET A STARTED EVENING. MR BROWN SAID. WE ARE HERE TONIGHT. FOCUSED ON THIS STATE. WE HAVE TWO MAIN SOURCES OF FUNDING FOR CAPITAL PROGRAM THAT IS THE STATE AND LOCAL SIDE . THE STATE PROJECTS ARE THOSE LARGER MAJOR RENOVATION AND SYSTEMIC TYPE PROJECTS OVER $200,000 IN REQUESTS. UM AND THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT, UM, ITEMS THAT WE NEED TO MEET FOR TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR THAT STATE FUNDING. JUST TO BRIEFLY GO OVER THE TIMELINE FOR OUR STATE. C I P. UM WE WILL BE REQUESTING THE BOARD TO APPROVE OUR SUBMISSION TO THE STATE ON SEPTEMBER 12TH 2022 FROM THERE, WE WILL ALSO BE COMMUNICATING WITH OUR LOCAL GOVERNMENT TO GET THEIR SUPPORT . UM ON THOSE PRIORITIES THAT ARE GOING FORWARD TO THE STATE.

ON SEPTEMBER 22ND 2022. WE WILL BE MEETING WITH THE DESIGNEES AT THE HARKER ACADEMY TO DISCUSS OUR SUBMISSION. THAT'S MISSION IS DUE OCTOBER. ACTUALLY, IT'S ACTUALLY FOURTH THIS YEAR.

TYPICALLY, IT'S THE FIFTH, UM TO THE STATE. AT THAT TIME. UM WE HAVE UNTIL NOVEMBER TO MAKE ANY AMENDMENTS TO THAT PROCESS. AND THEN THE I C WILL START RELEASING THEIR 90% PROJECTED FUNDING, UM, IN FEBRUARY, AND THE FINAL WILL COME OUT IN MAY AND THOSE FUNDS WILL BECOME A VALUABLE AVAILABLE JULY 23. UM. THIS YEAR. OUR TOP PRIORITIES ARE THE SECOND YEAR OF FUNDING FOR THE HARVARD TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL LIMITED RENOVATION PROJECT. THEY HAVE DEGREES ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ROOF REPLACEMENT PROJECT. THE ABERDEEN MIDDLE SCHOOL SYSTEMIC RENOVATION. AND THE HARTFORD ACADEMY. WE WILL BE REQUESTING LOCAL PLANNING APPROVAL FROM THE STATE THIS YEAR, WHICH WILL LOCK THEM INTO A COMMITMENT FOR FUNDING OF THEIR PORTION OF THE PROJECT. AND WE WILL ALSO BE REQUESTING THE LOCAL PLANNING AND DESIGN FUNDING REQUIRED TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT PROJECT. ANOTHER ITEM. I WILL LET MR MARTIN DISCUSSES THE HOMESTEAD WAKEFIELD PROJECT. THANKS MISSY. SO, UH, AS YOU'RE AWARE. YOU KNOW, WE HAVE RECEIVED LOCAL AND FOR THE BILL TO LEARN ACT STATE SUPPORT FOR THE HOMESTEAD. WAIT TILL PROJECT. AH! YOU KNOW? THE

[03:25:03]

PRODUCT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE BIDDING AWARDED THIS SUMMER. I'M NOT GOING TO GET INTO, YOU KNOW, LEGAL, BUT CURRENTLY THAT IS GETTING PUSHED. WE KNOW WE GO BACK BEFORE THE PLANNING COMMISSION SEPTEMBER FOR A FINAL DECISION FROM THERE WERE DECIDE. BUT AH! THE BUDGET WAS BASED ON BID AND AWARD AND TWO YEARS TO BE OPEN. 24 25 AND WE'RE LOOKING AT LEAST THE FOLLOWING YEAR. SO WE'RE ASKING THE CME TO UPDATE THE ESTIMATE BECAUSE WE KNOW WHAT INFLATION IS, AND WE CAN TAKE A LOOK AT THAT. LEAVE THE BUDGET ALONE AND WE COULD ALWAYS GO TO AN OUT HERE IF WE NEED TO.

THAT WOULD BE MY RECOMMENDATION . ALSO WE KNOW THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THAT AT LEAST PAYMENTS ON THE RELOCATED THAT WAS ONLY PUT IN PLACE FOR A TWO YEAR LEASE AND WE KNOW WE'RE GOING TO GO BEYOND THAT LEAST PERIOD. SO JUST TO GIVE THE BOARD UH YOU KNOW THE IMPACTS AND THEN ALSO, WE ARE MOVING AHEAD WITH THE PHASE THREE IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE'VE ALREADY COMMITTED TO IN OUR UNDER DESIGN. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS ALRIGHT QUESTIONS. DIDN'T REALIZE ABSOLUTELY EDITORIALIZE AWAY. I WAS GOING TO INCLUDE THIS IN THE SUPERINTENDENT REPORT, BUT I THINK IT FITS HERE. UM, I GUESS WE WOULD LIKE TO STATE FROM THE DAIS. IN THE CLEAREST TERMS POSSIBLE. THERE IS EXACTLY ONE THING. CAUSING A DELAY TO THIS PROJECT. AND IT IS THE CONNECTOR ROAD REQUIREMENT PUT IN BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION IN THE TOWN OF BEL AIR. THEY'VE LISTED. THEY'VE WRITTEN LETTERS. THEY'VE THEY'VE PROVIDED A NUMBER OF OTHER THINGS I BELIEVE SOLELY IN AN EFFORT TO OBVIOUS, KATE. EVERYTHING ELSE. THIS TEAM SITTING IN FRONT OF US KNOWS HOW TO BUILD SCHOOLS. AND THINGS LIKE PERMITS AND PLANS. WE DO THAT REALLY WELL. AND WE DO IT ON TIME. UM, SO THE ONLY REASON ANY OF THOSE THINGS HAVE BEEN PUT UP AS EXCUSES FOR WHY THIS IS DELAYED AGAIN. JUST OBFUSCATION. ON THE PART. UM.

THE TOWN PLANNERS. I WOULD ARGUE MORE SO THAN THE PLANNING COMMISSION. THE STAFF. UM WE ATTENDED. NUMBER WE HAVE BOARD MEMBERS. I KNOW DR MUELLER SPOKE AND, UH DR HAROLD SPOKE AND THERE ARE OTHER BOARD MEMBERS THERE. WE HAD A LOT OF SUPPORT FROM THE COMMUNITY. WE ATTENDED A MEETING OF JULY 28TH WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION. WHERE THEY HEARD FROM MANY, MANY MEMBERS OF THIS COMMUNITY. THAT THEY ARE NOT INTERESTED IN A CONNECTOR ROAD FOR PUBLIC USE. ACROSS THAT SCHOOL CAMPUS, NOT BEHIND THE SCHOOL, NOT DOWN THE MIDDLE OF THE CAMPUS, AND NOT BETWEEN WAKEFIELD AND MIDDLE SCHOOL BECAUSE THOSE ARE KIND OF THE THREE ROUTES THAT ARE POSSIBLE ON PAPER. BUT ALL PROBLEMATIC AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION HEARD EXTENSIVELY ABOUT THAT IN PUBLIC COMMENTS THAT EVENING. UD THEN WE JUST WE GOT A LETTER FOLLOWING THAT THEY THEY PUSHED THE MEETING TO SEPTEMBER. WE GOT A LETTER FOLLOWING THAT, IN THE FIRST PARAGRAPH OF THE LETTER BASICALLY SAID, AS WE CONTINUE OUR DISCUSSIONS TO IDENTIFY WHERE THIS ROAD WILL GO.

BASICALLY LEAVING IN THE REQUIREMENT FOR PUBLIC CONNECTOR ROAD. UM AND AGAIN. THAT IS THE SOURCE OF THE DELAY. THE MONEY. WE'RE ASKING YOU. UM. TO RECOGNIZE WILL ADD TO THE COST.

IS. 100% THE RESULT OF THAT PUBLIC CONNECTOR ROAD REQUIREMENT. THAT THIS COMMUNITY, THE RESIDENTS OF THE YOU KNOW, THE HOMESTEAD WAKEFIELD COMMUNITY WE HEARD FROM OTHERS WHO DON'T HAVE KIDS IN THE SCHOOL WHO LIVE ON THE FIELD ROAD, WHO AGAIN ARE NOT INTERESTED IN THE PUBLIC CONNECTOR. UM SO AGAIN. I KNOW I'M EDITORIALIZING A LITTLE BIT.

BUT YOU KNOW, THIS IS A THIS IS A TREMENDOUSLY IMPORTANT PROJECT , AND THAT COMMUNITY HAS BEEN WAITING VERY LONG TIME. FOR THAT SCHOOL AND THE AND THE POLITICS ARE PROBLEMATIC. SO I MEAN, I FEEL THEY DON'T HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO REQUIRE THIS AND YOU KNOW, UNFORTUNATELY, WE I DON'T SEE THEM SHIFTING. BECAUSE EVERY TIME THEY SENT A NEW LETTER THEY JUST CHANGED THE WORDS. AND LEAVE IN THE SPIRIT OF THE REQUIREMENT OF THE CONNECTOR REVENUE TRIED TO FIND DIFFERENT WAYS. ONE OF THE SUGGESTIONS THEY MADE THAT EVENING IS THAT WE COULD BUILD THE ROAD, BUT WE COULD STILL KEEP THE PROPERTY WHICH IS AMONG THE MOST ABSURD SUGGESTIONS I'VE EVER HEARD THAT WE WOULD MAINTAIN THE LIABILITY FOR PUBLIC ROAD BUT NOT TURN THAT ROAD OVER TO THE TOWN OR TO THE COUNTY. SO AGAIN, I'LL STOP THERE. JUST WANTED THAT TO BE CLEAR. UM AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH TO GET THIS SCHOOL BUILT AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. I TRUST

[03:30:05]

HIS TEAM. TO DO THAT. UM, BUT WE ARE WE'RE STRUGGLING WITH THE POLITICS HERE, SO OKAY. AND WITH THAT. UM. I'M GOING TO KEEP SOME OF MY WORDS AND FEELINGS TO MYSELF AND LET SOMEBODY ELSE SAY SOMETHING. DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE A COMMENT? MR CARDI, YOUR HAND IS UP. THANK YOU SO. DR BOLSON.

I WOULD LIKE TO ASK WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS? YOU'VE BEEN KIND IN UPDATING US ALL ON THE STATUS OF WHERE WE ARE AND WHAT'S HAPPENING. BUT WHAT ARE OUR NEXT STEPS OF RECOURSE? UM. WELL, THERE'S A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT WILL BE HAPPENING AT ONCE. WE WILL BE UM, WEARING TO SEE THE RESOLUTION. FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION WHEN THEY BRING THIS UP AGAIN. IN THE SEPTEMBER MEETING, WHICH THEY'VE SCHEDULED, UM BUT AGAIN, THE COMMUNICATION WE'VE HAD FROM STAFF LEADING UP TO THAT. ISN'T SUGGESTING TO US THAT UH UM. WE'RE GOING TO GET WHERE WE NEED TO BE FOR THAT MEETING, SO THAT ESSENTIALLY JUST CREATED AN ADDITIONAL DELAY. UM FRANKLY, THE NEXT STEPS ARE ENTIRELY LEGAL. UM AND SO WE'LL BE PURSUING. THE LEGAL ACTION NECESSARY TO BE ABLE TO MOVE THIS PROJECT FORWARD. OKAY? AGAIN KEEPING MY WORDS TO MYSELF , DR. BAUER. ANY COMMENTS, QUESTIONS? JUST GONNA ASK FOR QUESTIONS. SO. EXTENDING THE RELOCATE HERBAL CLASSROOMS AT LEAST BY YEAR. DO YOU KNOW THE COST JUST OF THAT PART? IT'S ROUGHLY A MILLION A YEAR. THANK YOU. WELL. MILLION A YEAR. SO THE LONGER THEY PUT OFF PERMISSION. THE LONGER WE'RE GOING TO BE PAYING FOR THAT, AS WELL AS THE FACT THAT THE KIDS AREN'T GOING TO GET THE SCHOOL THAT THEY DESERVE AND HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YEARS AND JUST THROWING THAT OUT THERE. I AM KEEPING MY WORDS NICE. MISS KELLY. ANY COMMENTS? QUESTIONS NO, I'M GOOD. THANK YOU. LET'S BLANKET. I WENT TO BELLAIRE MIDDLE. UM SO IT'S UM NEAR AND DEAR, BUT I MEAN, SENDING ELEMENTARY SCHOOLERS ACROSS 24. OR ROAD SIMILAR TO 24, OR LET'S EVEN SAY IDLE WHILE DOESN'T SEEM LIKE THE BEST IDEA. I MEAN, I DON'T THINK YOU GUYS WOULD SEND YOUR 56 YEAR OLD ACROSS THAT ROAD. EVEN I WOULDN'T WALK ACROSS IT ALONE. THAT'S JUST ME.

JUST FOOD FOR THOUGHT. DOCTOR MILLER. I KNOW YOU WERE AT THE MEETING. I APPRECIATE YOU GOING TO THE MEETING. I JUST FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT ANYBODY CAN THINK THAT PUTTING A ROAD THROUGH AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL THAT'S GOING TO POTENTIALLY BE A VERY BUSY ROAD IS A GOOD IDEA WHEN THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD PUT A SPEED REDUCTION DEVICE EVERY 10 FT. I'M LIKE, REALLY, YOU'RE JUST GOING TO HAVE A ROAD OF SPEED BUMPS. AND YOU STILL HAVE TO RUN THE ROAD THROUGH THERE, SO I JUST THINK IT'S KIND OF LUDICROUS AND I LOVED WHEN THEY SAID TO MOVE IT TO THE EDGE OF THE PROPERTY BECAUSE THE PEOPLE WHOSE BACKYARDS THEY WERE IN OUR NOT RESIDENTS OF THE TOWN OF BEL AIR, SO THEY'RE PUSHING THE PROBLEM AND COUNTY RESIDENTS AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS PRECIOUS.

THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY. REAL QUICK. I'M SURE THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS COME UP IN OTHER PLACES. AND THEY'VE INTRODUCED SOMETHING LIKE A YOU KNOW A TIME WHERE THIS ROAD CAN'T BE IN USE OR WHATEVER PRODUCED SPEED LIMITS. IT'S NOT. IT'S NOT A SOLUTION OF THE PROBLEM. SPEED BUMPS, TRAFFIC CAMERAS, NOTHING . THERE'S NOT A SOLUTION TO THIS THAT INVOLVES A ROAD. GOING IN FRONT OF FIVE YEAR OLDS. YEAH SO I'M GONNA THROW IT OUT THERE THAT I'M SORRY. I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE MONEY THAT THE TOWN OF BEL AIR IS CONCERNED ABOUT. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE LIVES OF OUR TEACHERS AND THE LIVES OF OUR STUDENTS AND THE FACT THAT THEY WILL BE TAKING THEIR LIVES IN THEIR HANDS TO CROSS THEIR STUDENTS AND THEIR STUDENTS LIVES IN THEIR HANDS TO CROSS YOU KNOW, I MEAN, AND THAT'S TALKING ABOUT LIKE WE'RE ASSUMING THAT NO DRUNK DRIVERS WILL GO DOWN THAT ROAD. NOBODY WHO'S IMPAIRED WILL GO DOWN THAT ROAD. YOU KNOW EVEN THAT HIGH SCHOOLERS LEAVING BELLER HIGH SCHOOL. I MEAN, WHEN I WAS IN DRIVER'S ED, WE TOOK A CLASS AND THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS A GUY LEFT, UH, SELLER HIGH SCHOOL AND SPENT JUST FOR FUN AND GOT SEVEN POINTS ON HIS LICENSE BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT LIKE 80 IN A 45 OR SOMETHING IN A SCHOOL ZONE. 100% IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN FRONT OF A BUNCH OF FIVE YEAR OLDS. LIKE WHAT? WHY WOULDN'T IT SO IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE THE BEST IDEA? MISS CAR WALK. YOU NEED COMMENTS, QUESTIONS? I'M JUST

[03:35:05]

FLABBERGASTED THAT THE TOWN. COMMISSIONERS. UM I THINK THAT THIS IS A SOLUTION. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT. AND DR BOLSON AND OUR LEGAL STAFF. AND CORNELL AND YOUR STAFF. PLEASE KEEP FIGHTING . OUR BABIES DESERVE A SAFE ENVIRONMENT. AND. THIS NEEDS TO BE STOPPED, NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT THE CHANGES IN THE ROAD THEY WANT US TO PAY FOR. SO YES, THIS IS ABSURD. FIGHT THISY COMMENTS QUESTIONS? I, IT'S YOUR YOU KNOW THE SCHOOL. WELL, I'M I KNOW YOU HAVE COMMENTS. IT'S ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS TO LISTEN TO THE COMMISSIONER'S EMPHATICALLY STATED THEY BELIEVE THAT THEY HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO PUT A ROAD THROUGH THIS SCHOOL ON THE CAMPUS THAT IS NEEDED TO THE SCHOOL SYSTEM. IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. IT'S A IT'S AN OLD, UH, PLANNING, UH, PLANNING GOAL. THAT CAN BE CHANGED. TO HAVE A SERVICE ROAD, A CONNECTOR ROAD. ON A SCHOOL CAMPUS WAS A PART OF AN OLD PLAN THAT CAN BE CHANGED. YEAH I JUST CANNOT BE AND THEY WILL NOT BUDGE. THEY THEY, THEY SAY JUST LIKE DR BOLSON SAID. EVERY SINGLE CORRESPONDENCE. IT IS.

LITERALLY STAYING IN THE SAME POSITION. SAYING WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE'RE GOING TO GET THIS ROAD. AH, ON THIS CAMPUS. BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE THEY HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO DO SO BASED ON AN OLD OUTDATED POLICY, I MEAN PLAN. AND THERE WERE THERE WERE PEOPLE THERE WERE COMMUNITY MEMBERS ASKING FOR ANSWERS AS TO HOW WE AS A COMMUNITY. HAVE A SAY IN HOW TO CHANGE THAT PLAN BECAUSE PLANS CAN CHANGE BASED ON THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY. UM. IT'S ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS THAT THEY WOULD PLACE AN OLD OUTDATED PLAN. AHEAD OF THE NEEDS OF OUR STUDENTS. THE NEEDS AND. THE DENISE LIVES, EVEN IF. THE ABSOLUTELY IT'S A SAFETY CONCERN. NO DOUBT. BUT WHY WOULD YOU STOP? ON NEXT SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION PROJECT. WHEN WE CAN ONLY DO ONE AT A TIME. WE CAN ONLY BUILD ONE SCHOOL AT A TIME. AND YOU STOPPING THAT? WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO OUR COMMUNITY? THAT WOULD BE MY QUESTION. WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO OUR COUNTY? WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO OUR FUTURE? FOR CONNECTOR ROAD REALLY? OUTRAGEOUS AND THEY SHOULD BE ASHAMED. AND THAT IS WHAT I'M GOING TO SAY. THANK YOU , DOCTOR. HAROLD THIS IS SONIA.

I THINK THAT WE SHOULD SEND EVERY MEMBER A SHOVEL. WITH A RED BOW ON IT AND TELL THEM TO START DIG DIGGING THE TUNNEL. THANK YOU ONLY WAY IT SHOULD HAPPEN. MR MR ROBINSON. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS YOU'D LIKE TO MAKE. YES I GUESS THE QUESTION AT WHAT POINT OF THIS PROCESS WITH A RISK ASSESSMENT. BE UM, PERFORM IF AT ALL. AT WHAT POINT WOULD A RISK ASSESSMENT BE DONE FOR THE ROAD? WHAT FOR? WHAT SO IS THAT FOR THE ROAD FOR WHAT? THE FOR THIS ENTIRE PROJECT AND WHAT HAVE THIS ROAD WOULD PRESENT. I'M NOT EVEN CLEAR OF THE QUESTION. SO I'M NOT SURE THEY DO RISK ASSESSMENTS. I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, BUT I DON'T THINK THEY DO RISK ASSESSMENTS FOR THAT. AND THEN DOES THE ARE YOU SAYING? BASICALLY WHAT POINT DO THEY WAY DOES THE CHANGE NO, NO . WHAT POINT AND YOU MAY HAVE ANSWERED MY QUESTION THAT THEY PROBABLY DON'T WE DON'T DO THAT IS NOT DONE. I WOULD IMAGINE THAT IT COULD BE AT THE UM.

PRIOR TO CONSTRUCTION WHEN YOU IMAGINE WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO BUILD IN.

THIS IS WHAT WE DO. WE CONDUCTED RISK ASSESSMENTS TO DETERMINE WHAT HAZARDS UM. STRUCTURE SO I

[03:40:01]

WE DID A FEASIBILITY STUDY RIGHT TO LAY OUT. YOU KNOW THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE SCHOOL PROJECT AND THROUGH THE DESIGN PROCESS WE'VE EVALUATED. UM YOU KNOW, TRACK TRAFFIC PATTERNS AND THINGS OF THAT SORT. TO IDENTIFY THE IMPACT ON THE SCHOOL PROJECT IN THE SCHOOL PROJECT, UM, ON THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY. MOVING FORWARD IF THE TOWN WHICH IS TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE ROAD, THEY WOULD, UM, CONTRACT WITH TRAFFIC ENGINEERS THAT WOULD DO FURTHER STUDIES TO DETERMINE WHAT THE IMPACT OF THE YOU KNOW. CONNECT THE ROAD WOULD BE ON THE SCHOOL PROPERTY AND IN A SURROUNDING, YOU KNOW, COMMUNITY. AND SO IT'S NOT I'M SORRY COULD GO DOWN. MR ROBINSON. IF I COULD ADD TO THAT. YOU KNOW WHEN THIS FIRST STARTED AH CORNELL MED. AND OFFERED TO ASSIST WITH UH, PARTICIPATING IN THE REGIONAL TRAFFIC STUDY. REGIONAL TRAFFIC STUDY. WAS OUTSIDE OF THEIR PURVIEW TO REQUIRE US TO DO FOR OUR PARTICULAR PROJECT. WE DID WHAT WAS REQUIRED. WE MET WITH THEM. THEY ASKED US TO DO ADDITIONAL AH! TO EXPAND OUR TRAFFIC STUDY. WHICH WE DID FULL COOPERATION, AND WE DO THE TRADITIONALLY WITH OTHER MUNICIPALITIES. IT WAS REASONABLE. AH THEY KNEW THAT THEY COULDN'T ASK US TO DO THE REGIONAL TRAFFIC STUDY. YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE REALLY LOOKING FOR. AND WITHOUT HAVING DONE THAT REGIONAL TRAFFIC STUDY THE IMPACT TO ATWOOD THE IMPACT TO ROUTE 2040 IMPACT OPPORTUNITIES AND PEAK. AH I THINK THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR, AND THAT REALLY WOULD BE A REQUIREMENT OF THE TOWN. OKAY, AND SO THAT'S A TRAFFIC FORCES, BUT THERE ARE OTHER THERE OTHER IMPACTS THE OTHER RISK THAT PLACING. OF ROAD IN THE MIDDLE OF A SCHOOL WITH WOULD PRESENT AND WE HAVE WE HAVE. WE HAD A GENTLEMAN ASKED THE QUESTION EARLIER ABOUT PLACING POLICE IN SCHOOLS AND SO ON. MY CONCERN IS CENTERS AROUND AND NOT JUST THE TRAFFIC PIECE.

BUT THE BUT BUT WHAT? WHAT WE BRING THROUGH THAT CAMPUS? WHAT WHAT? WHAT? WHAT? WHAT OTHER RISKS? UM UH, GO THROUGH THAT CAMPUS AS A RESULT OF THAT THAT PUBLIC HAND WAVE COMING THROUGH THERE, BUT I CAN TELL YOU CAN TALK ABOUT THAT AND NOTHING BUT ANOTHER POINT. I DON'T WANT TO BE LABOR. THE POINT TONIGHT. OKAY? MR CARDI. THANK YOU. YES THANK YOU. THERE'S ONE MORE POINT I WANTED TO MAKE THAT WE HAVEN'T DISCUSSED AND OF COURSE, THE STUDENT SAFETY IS PARAMOUNT . BUT ONE OF THE THINGS WE HAVEN'T MENTIONED TO REMIND THE PUBLIC IS THAT BY DEALING THAT LANDOVER SHOULD WE AGREE IT REALLY HAS AN IMPACT ON OUR VIRTUAL FUTURE GROWTH OF THIS, UH, SCHOOL AREA AS A CAMPUS. IMPACTING ANY FURTHER. UM ENHANCEMENTS WE MIGHT MAKE TO THE MIDDLE SCHOOL. UM SO I JUST WANTED TO MENTION THAT BECAUSE THAT'S ALSO ON THE TABLE. BEYOND THE SAFETY OF THE STUDENTS. YOUR CORRECT THAT IS TRUE. ALRIGHT WITH THAT. NO FURTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM ANYONE ELSE. GOING ONCE GOING TWICE. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU. THAT YOU DO YOU APPRECIATE YOU ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE ANOTHER. FABULOUS TEAM COMING FORWARD

UM THIS YEAR AT THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL LEVEL, WE DID IMPLEMENT A NEW IDENTIFICATION PROCESS TO ENSURE THAT STUDENTS WHO MET THE CRITERIA WERE ABLE TO PREREGISTER BEFORE THE PROGRAM OPENED UP TO THE, UM TO ALL STUDENTS, SO TEACHER AND STUDENT RECOMMENDATIONS WERE BASED ON STUDENT SUCCESS IN CURRENT INTERVENTION PROGRAMS, AS WELL AS STUDENT REPORT CARD GRADES.

THIS CRITERIA WAS DEVELOPED WITH ELEMENTARY PRINCIPLES MYSELF AS WELL AS THE DIRECTOR OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL INSTRUCTION AND PERFORMANCE. SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS MADE THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS AND PROVIDED THE REGISTRATION INFORMATION DIRECTLY TO THE FAMILIES WHO ATTEND THOSE BUILDINGS. STUDENTS WHO ARE IDENTIFIED AS A CANDIDATE FOR THE ELEMENTARY SUMMER LEARNING PROGRAM, WHO ATTENDED A TITLE ONE SCHOOL WERE ABLE TO REGISTER AND ACCESS THE REGISTRATION LINK TWO WEEKS PRIOR TO OPENING UP TO EVERYONE ELSE. AND IDENTIFIED STUDENTS FROM NON TITLE ONE SITES WERE ABLE TO ACCESS THE REGISTRATION LINK ONE WEEK BEFORE IT OPENED TO OTHERS TO THE REST OF THE STUDENTS. THIS YEAR, THE ELEMENTARY PROGRAM WAS STRUCTURED AROUND READING, WRITING, MATHEMATICS AND SOCIAL, EMOTIONAL LEARNING. FOR LANGUAGE ARTS STUDENTS PARTICIPATED IN THE UNITS OF STUDY PROGRAM THROUGH HYNEMAN. WHERE THEY FOCUSED ON REINFORCING THEIR CURRENT GRADE LEVELS OF THE CONTENT THAT THEY WERE EXPOSED TO IN THE 21 22 SCHOOL YEAR, WHICH IS ALIGNED TO THE MAJOR IN COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS STANDARDS TO PREPARE THEM FOR THE UPCOMING SCHOOL YEAR. AS WELL AS TO REDUCE THOSE POSSIBLE INSTANCES OF THAT SUMMER SLIDE. WITHIN THE READING SECTION OF THE SUMMER PROGRAM. STUDENTS PARTICIPATE IN DAILY READING AND MATHEMATICS ARE IN WRITING ACTIVITIES. I'M SORRY. AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL FOR MATHEMATICS STUDENTS PARTICIPATED IN THE DO THE MATH CURRICULUM. UM THOSE MODULES ARE ALIGNED TO MAJOR CONTENT AT EACH GRADE LEVEL AND FOUNDATIONAL CONCEPTS THAT SUPPORT LEARNING FOR THE NEXT GRADE LEVEL. SO AGAIN, REDUCING THAT SUMMER SLIDE AND GETTING THEM READY FOR THE NEXT GRADE LEVEL. SO THE LAST PART OF THAT WAS OUR SCL OR OUR SOCIAL, EMOTIONAL LEARNING TIME, AND WE HAD HIRED COUNSELORS AT EACH OF THE FIVE ELEMENTARY SITES, THESE COUNSELORS DEVELOPED A THREE WEEK SCL SUMMER PROGRAM, WHICH FOCUSED ON GRADE LEVEL APPROPRIATE LESSONS AROUND SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING. OUR TEACHERS ALSO JUMPED ON BOARD WITH THAT, UM, AND PLANT CAMP LIKE ACTIVITIES FOR OUR STUDENTS WHEN THEY WERE THERE. SUCH AS CRAFTS IN NATURE HUNTS AND PROJECTS. AT THE END OF THE PROGRAM. WE DID ADMINISTER A SURVEY TO TEACHERS AND STUDENTS REGARDING THEIR EXPERIENCE WITH THE PROGRAM, AND I JUST HAVE A FEW FINDINGS FROM THAT 86% OF STUDENTS REPORTED HAVING FUN AT THE SUMMER LEARNING PROGRAM, AND 80% OF OUR STUDENTS AGREE THAT THEY PARTICIPATE IN ACTIVITIES THAT MADE THEM FEEL REALLY GOOD ABOUT THEMSELVES. THE MIDDLE SCHOOL SUMMER LEARNING PROGRAM HAD A TOTAL OF 167 PARTICIPANTS ACROSS THREE SITES. THE MIDDLE SCHOOL LEVEL. WE ARE SITES WERE AT EDGEWOOD MIDDLE, HAVE DEGREES AND NORTH HARFORD MIDDLE SCHOOL. AGAIN WE DID HAVE AN ADDITIONAL 72 STUDENTS WHO REGISTERED BUT

[03:50:01]

DID NOT ATTEND AND REPORTED THIS NAME REASONS THAT THEY DID AT ELEMENTARY OTHER 167 STUDENTS WHO ATTENDED UM, THE ATTENDANCE RATE ACROSS ALL THREE OF THE SUMMER SCHOOL SITES WAS ABOUT 84. CRIMINAL SCHOOL PROGRAM RAN FOR FOUR WEEKS ON A MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY BASIS FROM 7 45 UNTIL 11 A.M. AND AGAIN TRANSPORTATION MEALS. MATERIALS CHROMEBOOKS WERE PROVIDED TO STUDENTS AT NO CHARGE. WE HIRED THREE SITE COORDINATORS, 21 TEACHERS AND THREE COUNCILORS.

AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL LEVEL. WE ALSO IMPLEMENTED A NEW IDENTIFICATION PROCESS VERY MUCH LIKE THE ELEMENTARY PROCESS. TEACHER ADMINISTRATIVE RECOMMENDATIONS WERE BASED ON REPORT CARD GRADES. BUT AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL LEVEL, WE ALSO FOLDED IN SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING INDICATORS. A FEW OF THOSE EXAMPLES INCLUDE SHOWING MOTIVATION TOWARDS SCHOOL. IT HAS DIFFICULTIES SHOWING MOTIVATION TOWARDS SCHOOL, HAVING DIFFICULTY INTERACTING AND COMMUNICATING WITH PEERS INTERACTING AND COMMUNICATING, WITH STAFF, EXPRESSING THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS, MAKING DECISIONS AND MAKING FRIENDS. THE CRITERIA FOR THIS WAS DEVELOPED BY MIDDLE SCHOOL PRINCIPALS, MYSELF AND THE DIRECTOR OF MIDDLE SCHOOL INSTRUCTION AND PERFORMANCE.

SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS AGAIN MADE THE RECOMMENDATIONS AND PROVIDED THOSE REGISTRATION LINKS DIRECTLY TO FAMILIES WHO ATTEND THEIR SCHOOLS. UM AND STUDENTS WHO WERE IDENTIFIED, WERE GIVEN ACCESS TO REGISTRATION ONE WEEK PRIOR TO REGISTRATION, OPENING UP TO STUDENTS AROUND THE COUNTY. THE MIDDLE SCHOOLS PROGRAM WAS ALSO STRUCTURE AROUND A READING, WRITING, MATHEMATICS AND SOCIAL NOTIONAL LEARNING. THE LANGUAGE ARTS CURRICULUM WAS CENTERED AROUND THE TRACK SERIES BY JASON REYNOLDS. UM WE'RE DAILY INSTRUCTION FOCUSED ON GRADE LEVEL STANDARDS THROUGH ENGAGING IN COMMON LIKE TEXT THAT CONNECTED TO GRADE LEVEL TO THE GRADE LEVEL NOVEL. WE CHOSE THREE OF THE SERIES THERE IS FOR BUT MIDDLE SCHOOL. WE DID 1/6 7TH AND EIGHTH UM, AND STUDENTS AGAIN HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY TO READ, WRITE AND DISCUSS THE TEXT EACH DAY. THE MATH CURRICULUM AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL LEVEL WAS DEVELOPED BY HARFORD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND FOCUSED ON BUILDING AND STRENGTHENING NUMERICAL REASONING. THE MATH LESSONS FOCUSED ON UM, MAKING THAT VISUAL THROUGH THE USE OF NEBULAS, DIAGRAMS AND DRAWINGS.

AND PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS TO THINK REASON MAKES SENSE OF AND COMMUNICATE MATHEMATICAL IDEAS DURING CLASS DISCUSSIONS AND COLLABORATIVE GAMES MATH GAMES. STUDENTS ALSO HAD ACCESS TO DREAM BOX TO REINFORCE THE DAILY MATH SKILLS AND CONCEPTS. THE SCL CONNECTION AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL IS A LITTLE BIT WE KIND OF THOUGHT OUT OF THE BOX AND UNIQUE. WE BASED THE TRACK SERIES. AROUND THERE'S ISSUES THAT EACH OF THE BOOKS STUDENTS FACE IN EACH OF THOSE BOOKS THAT ARE STUDENTS IN HARTFORD COUNTY ALSO FACE. SOME OF THOSE TOPICS INCLUDE FITTING IN AT A NEW SCHOOL, PARENT, CHILD RELATIONSHIPS COMMUNITY, UM, VARIOUS FAMILY DYNAMICS DEATH. SO WHAT WE DID IS WE HAD OUR COUNSELORS CREATE TWO DAYS OF LESSONS AROUND THOSE TOPICS.

AND THEN THE OTHER TWO DAYS OF THE WEEK, STUDENTS WERE FOCUSING ON READING THE NOVEL AND DISCUSSING WITH THEIR PEERS AND THEIR TEACHERS. THERE WAS SOME DISCUSSION QUESTIONS THAT WENT ALONG WITH IT. UM AND THROUGH THOSE LESSONS AND THOSE DISCUSSIONS WITH THEIR TEACHERS THEY HAD TIME TO PICK A TOPIC WHERE THEY CAME UP WITH PROJECTS AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE SCREEN, HOW TO MAKE FRIENDS HOW TO BE SUCCESSFUL. UM AND THEY DISPLAY THESE PROJECTS AT THE END TO HELP THEIR PEERS. MAYBE SOMEBODY IN THEIR LIFE DEAL WITH SOME OF THESE ISSUES OR EVEN THEMSELVES.

AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL LEVEL AS YOU CAN SEE UP ON THE SCREEN, THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER THERE.

ALSO GUEST SPEAKERS. SO UM, THAT IS FORMER HCPS STUDENT. N B A PLAYER EMMANUEL QUICKLY FOR THE NEW YORK KNICKS CAME AND GIVE A GREAT MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER OR SPEECH TO THE STUDENTS ENCOURAGE THEM TO WORK HARD. UM, FOLLOW THEIR DREAMS, AND IT WAS JUST IT WAS A FABULOUS EVENT. UM WE ALSO DID A SURVEY AT THE END OF THIS PROGRAM. 73% OF OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS AGREE THAT PARTICIPATING IN ACTIVITIES OTHER THAN READING AND MATH, HELP THEM FEEL GOOD ABOUT THEMSELVES AND THAT THEY ENJOYED THE EXPERIENCE. 70% OF OUR STUDENTS FELT MORE PREPARED ABOUT STARTING THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR. NEXT UP IS OUR HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAM. WE HAD, UM, A TOTAL OF 526 PARTICIPANTS WITHIN THE MAJORITY OF OUR STUDENTS BEING AT THE 10TH AND 11TH GRADE. OUR HOST SITES. THIS YEAR. WE'RE ABERDEEN HIGH SCHOOL IN PATERSON MILL HIGH SCHOOL, ALTHOUGH WE DID HAVE ONE PE CLASS AT BELLAIRE HIGH SCHOOL. WE DO HAVE TO HAVE AN ADDITIONAL 120 STUDENTS REGISTER OUTSIDE OF THAT OR ON TOP OF THAT 526 BUT DID NOT ATTEND AND AGAIN, UM, THE DIFFERENCE IN REPORTING. THE REASONS FOR THIS ONE WAS THAT THE STUDENT ACTUALLY PASSED THE CLASS DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR AND AT THIS POINT NO LONGER NEEDED TO ATTEND. THIS PROGRAM RAN FOR FOUR WEEKS ON A MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY BASIS FROM 7 30 AM TO 7 30 AM TO 11:30, A.M. AND AGAIN TRANSPORTATION, MEALS, MATERIALS AND LAPTOPS ARE PROVIDED TO STUDENTS AT NO CHARGE. WE HAD TO SITE COORDINATORS, 38 TEACHERS AND COUNSELORS. THE REGISTRATION PROCESS, AND THE IDENTIFICATION PROCESS IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT AT THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL. EACH OF THE 11 HIGH SCHOOLS HAVE A

[03:55:05]

DESIGNATED SUMMER SITE COORDINATOR THAT WE HIRE IN FEBRUARY. AND THEY WORK WITH THE SCHOOL COUNSELORS AND STUDENTS TO IDENTIFY STUDENTS WHO ARE IN DANGER OF FAILING AFTER THE THIRD MARKING PERIOD, THEY WORK WITH INDIVIDUAL FAMILIES, STUDENTS TO GET THEM INFORMATION THEY NEED FOR REGISTRATION. THE HIGH SCHOOL SUMMER PROGRAM PROVIDED STUDENTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO EARN CREDIT RECOVERY IN ENGLISH, MATHEMATICS , SCIENCE AND SOCIAL STUDIES IN ORDER TO REMAIN ON TRACK FOR GRADUATION. WE ALSO OFFER GEOMETRY AND ORIGINAL CREDIT PE UM, I'M SORRY. GEOMETRY P FOUR ORIGINAL CREDIT. UM SUMMER LEARNING PROGRAM AT THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL. UM STUDENTS WERE ABLE TO ACCESS CONTENT THROUGH A VARIETY OF STRUCTURES. SO OUR ORIGINAL CREDIT COURSES SUCH AS THE GEOMETRY, PE AND ANY COURSE THAT IS A TESTED AREA COURSE, WHICH WOULD BE ALGEBRA ONE ENGLISH 10, GOVERNMENT AND BIOLOGY WERE TAUGHT IN THE TRUE FACE TO FACE FASHION. AMUSING HCPS CREATED CURRICULUM. THE REMAINDER OF THE CLASSES FOR CREDIT RECOVERY WERE OFFERED AN 80 20 MODEL 20 MODEL COMES FROM THE MARYLAND STATE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, WHERE 80% OF THE INTERACTION WITH THE CONTENT IS DONE INDEPENDENTLY BY THE STUDENT IN A DIGITAL FORMAT, AND 20% IS DIRECT INSTRUCTION BY THE TEACHER. THOSE ARE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS 80% AND 20% AND BECAUSE WE REQUIRE ALL OF OUR STUDENTS TO COME IN CLASS OR IN SCHOOL FOR THIS PROGRAM, THEY DID RECEIVE WAY MORE THAN THAT MINIMUM OF 20% WITH DIRECT INSTRUCTION FROM A TEACHER. UM AS YOU CAN SEE UP ON THE SCREEN 94% OF THE STUDENTS, UM, THAT CAME TO SUMMER SCHOOL THIS YEAR EARNED AT LEAST ONE HIGH SCHOOL CREDIT, WHICH IS VERY EXCITING.

AND 100% OF THE ELIGIBLE SENIORS WALKED AWAY WITH A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA. FEW STATS FROM THE END OF SURVEY. FROM THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL. 85% OF STUDENTS REPORTED THAT THEY ARE THEY ARE SOMEWHAT OR COMPLETELY SATISFIED WITH THE PROGRAM. 75% OF STUDENTS REPORTED THAT THE SUPPORT FROM THEIR TEACHER HELPED THEM EARN THE CREDIT AND 72% OF THE STUDENTS REPORTED FEELING MORE PREPARED ABOUT STARTING A NEW SCHOOL YEAR. LAST BUT NOT LEAST ACADEMIC TUTORING. SO THE HCPS ACADEMIC SUMMER TUTORING PROGRAM OFFERED ONE ON ONE AND SMALL GROUP TUTORING SESSIONS FOR STUDENTS IN GRADES K THROUGH 12 . THE FOCUS FOR GRADES K THROUGH EIGHT WERE LANGUAGE, ARTS AND MATHEMATICS AND THE FOCUS FOR NINE THROUGH 12 WERE ENGLISH, MATH, SCIENCE AND SOCIAL STUDIES. ACADEMIC PROGRAM ACADEMIC TUTORING PROGRAM RAN FOR FOUR WEEKS WHERE STUDENTS ATTENDED TO 40 MINUTE SESSIONS, WHICH WAS AN INCREASE FROM LAST YEAR. LAST YEAR, THEY HAD ONE SESSION A WEEK. THIS YEAR, WE OPTED TO TWO SESSIONS A WEEK WHERE THEY ATTENDED THE SESSIONS, VIRTUALLY STUDENTS PARTICIPATE IN THIS PROGRAM WERE ALSO GIVEN AN HTTPS DEVICE TO ACCESS TO DURING THE TUTORING SESSION. STUDENTS WHO ARE IDENTIFIED FOR ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOL SUMMER SCHOOL PROGRAM. UM THOSE SAME STUDENTS WERE ALSO GIVEN EARLY ACCESS TO REGISTER FOR THE ACADEMIC TUTORING PROGRAM. AND LAST, BUT AT LEAST WE HAD 169 TUTORS AND WE SERVICE 597 KIDS. ANDY. SINCERELY AND EVEN SILLIER SUPERVISOR OF SCIENCE HAS BEEN SPEARHEADING ARE STARS OF SUMMER PROGRAM SINCE THE PANDEMIC, AND SO HE WILL SHARE SOME INFORMATION ABOUT THAT PROGRAM. GOOD EVENING. THE STARS OF SUMMER PROGRAM IS AN ENTIRELY ONLINE AND INTERDISCIPLINARY PROGRAM DESIGNED FOR RISING FIRST THROUGH NINTH GRADE STUDENTS. THIS SUMMER. THE PROGRAM RAN FOR A TOTAL OF THREE WEEKS BETWEEN JULY 18TH IN AUGUST, 5TH. WORKSHOPS WHICH ALL HCPS TEACHERS WERE INVITED TO CREATE AND TEACH VARIED FROM 1 TO 3 HOURS IN LENGTH. BECAUSE WE INVITE ALL TEACHERS TO PARTICIPATE, WERE ULTIMATELY ABLE TO OFFER A VIBRANT AND DIVERSE SET OF WORKSHOPS TO OUR STUDENTS WHO ARE ELIGIBLE TO REGISTER FOR UP TO THREE. AS YOU CAN SEE. THIS YEAR WE HAD 34 PARTICIPATING TEACHERS WITH 45 DIVERSE WORKSHOPS OFFERED RESULTING IN 832 REGISTERED STUDENTS. THE START OF SUMMER PROGRAM IS IN ITS THIRD YEAR AND CONTINUES TO PRIORITIZE THE ATTRIBUTES THAT YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN. MOST IMPORTANTLY, INSTRUCTION IS PREDOMINANTLY LIVE FOR THE PURPOSE OF ENGAGING STUDENTS AND MEANINGFUL AND INTERACTIVE CONTENT, ALL IN A DYNAMIC AND SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT.

THE PROGRAM HAS ALSO BEEN DESIGNED TO PROVIDE FAMILIES WITH MAXIMUM OPPORTUNITIES TO PARTICIPATE, WHICH RESULTS IN A PROGRAM SCHEDULE THAT AFFORDS STUDENTS MAY DATE AND TIME CHOICES. WITH 45 WORKSHOPS CREATED BY OUR TEACHERS. MANY WERE AVAILABLE. THE MULTIPLE GRADE BANDS AND MANY WERE REPEATED AT VARIOUS TIMES ACROSS THE THREE WEEK PROGRAM. THAT THE TABLE DISPLAYED HIGHLIGHTS THE OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO STUDENTS IN EACH OF THE THREE MAJOR GREAT BANDS. AS MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY. 34 HARFORD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS , TEACHERS WERE INVOLVED IN THIS SUMMER'S PROGRAM. THEIR INNOVATIVE AND CREATIVE IDEAS RESULTED IN MANY OPTIONS FOR STUDENTS TO CHOOSE FROM. ON THE SCREEN, OR SEVERAL EXAMPLES OF WORKSHOPS THAT WERE OFFERED. WE

[04:00:04]

ARE PARTICULARLY PROUD THAT WE HAVE SO MANY CONTENT AREAS REPRESENTED IN THE START OF THE SUMMER PROGRAM. AS YOU CAN SEE, WE HAVE 22 WORKSHOPS RELATED TO MATH, READING SCIENCE, THE SOCIAL SCIENCES AND WRITING AND 23 RELATED TO FAMILY AND CONSUMER SCIENCE, FINE ARTS, HEALTH AND WELLNESS, PHYSICAL EDUCATION, TECHNOLOGY AND WORLD LANGUAGE. TO WRAP THIS UP. WE HAVE SHONDA KRANTZ, OUR SUPERVISOR OF WORLD LANGUAGE AND ENGLISH LEARNERS TO TALK ABOUT AN ENGLISH LEARNER CAMP THAT WE PARTNER WITH GLASSES TO CREEP FOR OUR COMMUNITY. THANK YOU.

GOOD EVENING. UM THIS IS OUR SECOND YEAR OF PARTNERING WITH LOSSES TO RUN OUR EEL SUMMER CAMP LAWSUITS, IS A WONDERFUL BUSINESS PARTNER THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF WORLD LANGUAGES AND ENGLISH LEARNING HAS AND WE VALUE VERY MUCH THEIR SUPPORT. AND, UM. DEDICATION TO MEETING THE NEEDS OF OUR REAL STUDENTS FOR CAMP THIS YEAR, WE HAD 189 STUDENTS WHO ENROLLED. 165 OF THOSE ATTENDED. THE 24 THAT DID NOT ATTEND CITED REASONS OF CHANGES AND FAMILY OBLIGATIONS.

VACATION SO ON AND SO FORTH. WE DO OFFER THIS CAMP FOR PRE K THROUGH 12TH GRADE. WE RUN FROM JUNE 27TH TO JULY 22ND FROM 8:30 A.M. TO 3:30 P.M. MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. WITH THE SUPPORT OF LOSSES WE ARE ABLE TO OFFER OUR CAMP TO STUDENTS ON DAYS WHEN SCHOOL THE SCHOOL SYSTEM ITSELF IS CLOSED. SO WE ARE OFF SITE. WE GO TO CALVARY BAPTIST CHURCH ON FRIDAYS. WHEN WE WERE CLOSED FOR WEATHER. WE ENDED UP GOING TO CALVARY BAPTIST CHURCH AS WELL WITH THE SUPPORT OF LOSSES AND REALLY STRUCTURING THE TRANSPORTATION. EFFORTS AS WELL. THERE IS NO CHARGE FOR PARTICIPANTS FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROGRAM, AND WE DO OFFER BREAKFAST AND LUNCH FOR OUR STUDENTS. STUDENTS ARE ABLE TO SIGN UP FOR ONE WEEK OR FOR ALL FOUR WEEKS. PROVIDED WITH OPPORTUNITIES TO LEARN ABOUT THEIR COMMUNITIES THROUGH DIVERSE RIGHT DIVERSIFIED LESSONS ROOTED IN MATH, READING SCIENCE AND SOCIAL SCIENCES. EXAMPLES OF WORK INCLUDE READING NOVELS, BUOYANCY LABS, GROWING PLANTS, POLYMER DEVELOPMENT AND USAGE. VIRTUAL NATIONAL PARK VISITS, MATHEMATICS, ESCAPE ROOMS VOCABULARY DEVELOPMENT ROLE PLAYING. AND PHYSICAL FITNESS OPPORTUNITIES. ADDITIONAL LEARNING CENTERED AROUND CARING FOR ONESELF, FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT. CULMINATING ACTIVITY THIS YEAR WAS A REGATTA RAIN GUTTER RACE IN WHICH STUDENTS DESIGNED THEIR OWN WOODEN BOATS AND RACED WITH FELLOW CAMPERS TO MOVE THEIR BOATS DOWN A RAIN GUTTER BY BLOWING THROUGH A STRAW. IT WAS A GREAT HIT. UM STUDENTS WITH LOWER ENGLISH PROFICIENCY LEVELS , OR THOSE WHO ARE NEWLY ARRIVED ARE PROVIDED ADDITIONAL ENGLISH LANGUAGE ACQUISITION LESSONS WITH AN ENGLISH TUTOR. STUDENTS WERE ABLE TO EXPLORE THEIR COMMUNITY AND ITS RESOURCES AS WELL AS BUILD LASTING CONNECTIONS WITH FELLOW E L STUDENTS. WE HAD THE ABILITY TO HIRE 10 TEACHERS. ALL HCPS TEACHERS FOR TUTORS TO HIGH SCHOOL HELPERS, AND WE HAD EIGHT HIGH SCHOOL VOLUNTEERS. ON THIS PARTICULAR SLIDE. YOU CAN SEE THE LIST ON THE RIGHT OF ALL OF OUR PARTNERS THAT WE PARTNERED WITH TO MAKE THIS CAMPUS SUCCESS AND IT'S QUITE EXTENSIVE. BUT. WITH THE EXPERIENCES THAT WE PROVIDED STUDENTS WE WERE ABLE TO PRODUCE 85.81% OF GROWTH FROM A PRE ASSESSMENT TO POST ASSESSMENT WITH OUR STUDENTS. THE ASSESSMENTS THAT WE GAVE STUDENTS WERE AGE APPROPRIATE.

RANGING FROM WORD ASSESSMENTS TO COUNTING TWO BASIC MATHEMATICAL FUNCTIONS AND ORAL COMMUNICATION. BECAUSE THE L CAMPERS RANGE IN AGE PRE K THROUGH 12. OUR OVERARCHING GOAL IS FOR STUDENTS TO DEMONSTRATE GROWTH IN THEIR ENGLISH LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY. THE VEHICLE BY WHICH WE ENCOURAGE GROWTH WAS LINKED TO WELL DEVELOPED PROJECT BASED LESSONS. CAMPERS ARE ALSO ENCOURAGED TO SPEAK ONLY ENGLISH DURING OUR STRUCTURED ACTIVITIES , BUT OF COURSE, WE ALSO ALSO AFFORD THEM OPPORTUNITIES TO USE THEIR NATIVE TONGUE AS WELL. THE PARTNERSHIPS LISTED ALLOWED HCPS AND LOSSES AGAIN TO PROVIDE A RICH LEARNING ENVIRONMENT THAT KEPT STUDENTS ENGAGED THROUGHOUT THE MONTH OF CAMP. THANK YOU, SANDRA. CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE PARTICIPANTS DATA THROUGH THE FALL SO THAT WE CAN EVALUATE THE IMPACT OF THESE PROGRAMS AND MAKE NECESSARY ADJUSTMENTS MOVING FORWARDS, BUT WE ARE HOPEFUL THAT THIS PROGRAMMING ALLOWED OUR STUDENTS TO BE PREPARED FOR THEIR NEXT GRADE LEVEL AND START TO MITIGATE ANY LEARNING LOSS THAT THEY MAY HAVE EXPERIENCED. I WOULD LOVE TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD. THIS TIME. CHANGEABLE

[04:05:10]

LIKE ROLL BACK TO THAT HCPS AND LASSOS ONE ONE MORE. THAT LITTLE ONE IN THE CORNER. I WANT TO TAKE HOME. OH MY GOD. SO FREAKING CUTE. OKAY THAT'S MY COMMENT FOR RIGHT NOW. MR CARDI ACTUALLY HAS A SERIOUS QUESTIONS. WE'LL LET HER GO. IT'S REGARDING. OKAY? I DON'T KNOW WHO CAN BE SERIOUS AND 10 OF 11. BUT ANYWAY, UM SO HERE'S HERE'S A QUESTION THAT I HAVE AND SOMETHING THAT I HAD HEARD. UM INITIALLY. I DON'T KNOW WHO WAS SPEAKING FIRST. HE WAS SPEAKING FIRST. I'M SORRY BECAUSE I'M RITUAL AND I CAN ONLY YOUR VOICE IS HEATHER. AT THIS POINT, WE ALL HEAR VOICES. BUT ANYWAY, HEATHER IF YOU GAVE THE FIRST PART OF THE PRESENTATION, YOU TALKED ABOUT THE ENROLLMENT, UM FOR ELEMENTARY, MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL, AND YOU TALKED ABOUT THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS THAT ENROLLED VERSUS THE NUMBER. THE STUDENTS SEPARATIST HATED BECAUSE THE NUMBER HAD CONFLICTS. UM WAS THERE ANY OPPORTUNITY FOR THE STUDENTS THAT WANTED TO TAKE SUMMER SCHOOL THAT WANTED TO RUIN SUMMER SCHOOL THAT COULDN'T BECAUSE WE WERE ALREADY FULL? I COULD CHOOSE ITS BECKY. UM WE WERE STILL ABLE TO STILL, UM SOME OF THOSE SPOTS, BUT BECAUSE OF THE TIMELINE, NOT ALL OF THE STUDENTS AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL WERE ABLE TO GET IN THERE IS ABOUT A DOZEN OR TWO WHO IT WAS JUST ONCE WE FIGURED OUT WHO WAS COMING IN. WHO WASN'T WE WEREN'T ABLE BEHIND THE SCENES TO GET IT AND BEFORE THE PROGRAM IS OVER, BECAUSE IT WAS IT WAS REALLY QUICK. UM BUT AT THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL, THERE WERE A FEW THAT WE COULDN'T GET IN IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL LEVEL. EVERYBODY WHO WANTED TO GET IN GET IN. AS THE NUMBERS WERE SO LOW SO MY SUGGESTION. IS THERE ANY WAY SOME WE CAN INCORPORATE THIS INTO OUR PLAN NEXT YEAR, SO THAT WE CAN I KNOW WE DON'T HAVE ANY CONTROL OVER THE STUDENTS THAT WANT TO ENROLL AND THEN THEY DON'T. BUT I HATE TO HAVE THE STUDENTS THAT WANTED TO PARTICIPATE AND NOT BE ABLE TO, ESPECIALLY AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL. IS THIS SOMETHING THAT YOU'RE GOING TO INCORPORATE IN YOUR PLANS NEXT YEAR TO TRY BETI CANNOT LOSE THOSE STUDENTS. YEP.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PLAN IS YET, BUT ONCE I HAVE IT, I'LL LET YOU KNOW. YEAH. NO IT'S OK.

I HAD HEARD I'VE GOTTEN SOME PARENTAL FEEDBACK. THEY WERE UPSET. THEY WANTED THEIR STUDENTS TO GET IN. AND THEY COULDN'T AND SO I KNOW YOU. DID A GREAT JOB OF ARTICULATING THE PERCENTAGE OF STUDENTS THAT PARTICIPATED DOES THAT NUMBER INCLUDE THE ONES THAT COULDN'T PARTICIPATE BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T ACCEPTED OR IS THAT ONLY OF THE ONES THAT WERE ACCEPTED? WHO PARTICIPATED? THAT WAS THAT NUMBER IS JUST THE AMOUNT OF STUDENTS WHO WERE ABLE TO GET IN AND PARTICIPATED. SO I WOULD BE INTERESTED SEPARATELY. IF YOU COULD SHARE THE NUMBERS AS IN ITS ENTIRETY. UM STUDENTS THAT DIDN'T OKAY? YEP YES, AND IT'S JUST DOESN'T HAVE TO BE ANYTHING FORMAL. I'M SURE THE BOARD WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT ALSO, BUT JUST HAVE THE REAL CONCERN THAT WE NEED TO SERVICE. ALL THE STUDENTS THAT WANT TO AND I KNOW YOUR TIMELINE AND I'M NOT 20 FINGERS AT ALL THAT I'M JUST SAYING. IS THERE ANY WAY WE CAN BUILD THIS GOING FORWARD TO AVOID THIS IF AT ALL POSSIBLE FROM HAPPENING? SO PATRICE. ONE THING I WOULD ADD TO THIS AND THIS IS MORE OF A THINK ABOUT FOR THE BOARD. UM WE HAD SOME MUCH OF PRE PANDEMIC. WE HAD A VERY SMALL SUMMER OFFERINGS, MOSTLY BECAUSE OF FUNDING. UM HAVE A YOU MAY HAVE AN ANSWER THIS WITH THE HOW MUCH OF THESE SUMMER PROGRAMS WAS PAID FOR WITH FEDERAL FUNDS THAT ARE PART OF A GRANT THAT'S GOING TO EXPIRE. UP NEARLY 100% OF STAFFING WAS PAID FOR THROUGH GRANTS. OKAY SO SOME OF THE SUPPLIES THAT WE KNOW THE HIGH SCHOOL CREDIT RECOVERY. WE'VE DONE THAT IN THE PAST, BUT STUDENTS HAD TO PAY A PORTION, SO IT DIDN'T I MEAN, THAT WAS LESS OF A COST US, BUT THAT PARTICIPATION WAS SO MUCH GREATER. UM AND SO THIS IS AMONG THE MANY THINGS THAT ARE IN THE FEDERAL FUNDING. I MEAN THE MONEY WAS DESIGNED AS TO HELP WITH ADDRESSING LEARNING LOSS AND THE LONG TERM RECOVERY, BUT THIS IS SOMETHING WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO CONFRONT. IN PUBLIC COMMENT TONIGHT. YOU HEARD ABOUT YOU KNOW SOME KIND OF A BUDGET IMPACT. QUESTION ABOUT THAT STRIVE IN THIS YEAR, T PARA EDUCATOR AND OUR, UM SORRY. UM.

THAT'S NOT THE RIGHT. DON'T SAY THAT, SIR. MIXING MY ACRONYMS UP LATE AT NIGHT CSP PERIOD.

EDUCATORS THANKS, RACHEL. BUT THE POINT IS, I MEAN, I MEAN, WE'RE EARLY IN THE YEAR AND WE'VE ALREADY BEGUN TALKING ABOUT SOME OF THE THINGS I MEAN, THIS WAS A GREAT OUTGROWTH.

[04:10:03]

WE'VE HAD SUCH AMAZINGLY INNOVATIVE THINGS THAT HAPPEN. I MEAN, WE DID START THIS SUMMER THAT FIRST YEAR OF COVID, AND WE'VE BUILT ON THAT AND IT'S REALLY BEEN COOL STUFF, AND I WAS SO EXCITED TO SEE THAT THE ENGLISH. LEARNERS STUFF. I MEAN, EVERYONE KNOWS THAT. THAT'S WHERE I STARTED MY CAREER. SO THAT'S NEAR AND DEAR TO MY HEART. UM SO THESE ARE GREAT THINGS. THE QUESTION IS, HOW DO WE SUSTAIN EVERYTHING WE'VE BEEN DOING? WHEN THE FEDERAL FUNDS DISAPPEAR, SO WE HAVE SOME HARD CONVERSATIONS AHEAD. THIS IS SORT OF A CAUTIONARY THING, BUT SO PATRICE THE THOUGHT ABOUT THE SUSTAINABILITY AND IMPROVING THIS. WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO HAVE SOME REALLY CHALLENGING BUDGET CONVERSATIONS GOING FORWARD TO THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU. RIGHT. ANYONE ELSE? QUESTIONS, COMMENTS. DR BAUER. THANK YOU. UM. AT THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL. I WANTED TO CLARIFY ABOUT THE CREDIT RECOVERY. SO. YOU DESCRIBED AS BASICALLY TWO TRACKS. UM CERTAIN TESTED CLASSES. WERE. MOSTLY OR ENTIRELY FACE TO FACE AND THEN OTHERS WERE 80 20 MODEL EVEN IF WE EXCEEDED THE 20. SO FOCUSING ON THE TESTED CLASSES. WAS THAT STILL SOME I GUESS COMBINATION OF FACE TO FACE PLUS HOMEWORK OR OUT OF CLASS TIME. SO MY NEXT PROJECT IS REALLY TO GET ALL OF OUR RECOVERY COURSES IN A FASHION WHERE IT'S ALL HCPS CURRICULUM AND NOT USING A VENDOR. SO WE ALREADY HAD THE THOSE TESTED AREA COURSES BUILT.

UM AND THAT'S ALWAYS OUR FIRST CHOICE IS TO USE OUR HCPS CONTENT. UM, BUT THE STRUCTURE OF THAT WAS JUST AS A DAILY CLASSROOM WOULD RUN EXCEPT INSTEAD OF CHANGING CLASSES TO GO TO DIFFERENT CLASSES FOR THE FOUR HOURS THEY WERE IN ONE CLASS THE WHOLE TIME. UM SO THERE WAS A CURRICULUM SET FOR THE 15 DAYS OR 16 DAYS. UM AND STUDENTS FOLLOWED ALONG THAT WAY WITH WITH LIVE LESSONS. DOES THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION? I THINK MOST OF IT SO WE'RE LOOKING AT UM ABOUT 80 HOURS FOR ONE CREDIT FOR VERY COVERAGE. SO IT'S. 16 DAYS OF THIS YEAR WAS 15, AND IT'S FOUR HOURS A DAY. SO IT'S ABOUT 60. HOURS. WITHIN THE HAITI 20 MODEL. STUDENTS ARE REALLY ENCOURAGED BECAUSE THEY HAVE THAT FREEDOM OF MOVING FORWARD. UM BECAUSE IT'S A DIGITAL CONTENT THAT THEY CAN WORK ON FRIDAYS WHEN WE'RE NOT THERE IN THE EVENINGS. I THINK HE HAD A QUESTION. ANOTHER TIME THAT WE HAD DISCUSSED. THIS WAS HOW CAN STUDENTS TAKE MORE THAN ONE? AND THAT IS THAT IS AN EXAMPLE OF HOW WE CAN STUDENTS THAT THEY CAN COMPLETE MORE THAN ONE. I CAN'T TALK IS LATE. HOW THEY CAN COMPLETE MORE THAN ONE COURSES THAT IN THE 80 20 MODEL . THEY HAD THAT FREEDOM OF WORKING WHEN THEY'RE NOT IN SCHOOL. THANK YOU. NO FURTHER QUESTIONS. ALRIGHT MISS KELLY ANY QUESTIONS? COMMENTS? I JUST WANTED TO, UM. SAY THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THIS TOGETHER. YOU KNOW, I'VE HAD A LOT OF QUESTIONS FROM COMMUNITY MEMBERS ABOUT HOW WE ARE. WHAT PLANS WE HAVE IN PLACE TO MITIGATE LEARNING LOSS, SO I THINK THIS IS A REALLY GREAT START, AND IT'S IT REALLY? MIRRORS, BUT WE'RE DOING IN HIGHER EDUCATION. UM BUT TRYING TO PROVIDE INTERVENTIONS AND PROGRAMS OVER THE SUMMER BECAUSE WE HAVE STUDENTS THAT ARE COMING IN IN THE FALL WITH, YOU KNOW, HAVING THE LAST TWO YEARS BEING POTENTIALLY TAUGHT VIRTUALLY SO WE'RE SEEING IT AT THAT LEVEL, TOO, AND I FEEL LIKE A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT YOU'RE DOING IS REALLY MIRRORING WHAT WE'RE DOING, BUT YOU'RE DOING EVEN MORE SO THAT'S AMAZING. UM AND I PERSONALLY LIKE MY THEY DIDN'T. UM, MY DAUGHTER DIDN'T ATTEND THIS SUMMER. BUT IN PREVIOUS AND HE WAS LAST SUMMER, SHE DID THE STARS OF SUMMER, WHICH IS AWESOME. UM, SHE HAD AN ACADEMIC TUTOR, WHICH IS PHENOMENAL, SO I AM VERY THANKFUL FOR THOSE PROGRAMS AS A PARENT. AND I'D BE INTERESTED. YOU KNOW, TO HEAR HOW EFFECTIVE YOU KNOW, THIS HAS BEEN ON OUR STUDENTS AS THEY GO INTO THIS ACADEMIC YEAR, SO THANK YOU. MS KARWACKI ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? JUST THAT . I THINK THE PROGRAMS ARE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, AND I THINK THAT WHEN WE DO THOSE. INITIAL ASSESSMENTS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SCHOOL YEAR. IT SHOULD GIVE US UH, REALLY A CLEAR PICTURE.

OF THE IMPACT OF THE SUMMER PROGRAMS ON STUDENTS. I THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR DEDICATION TO

[04:15:02]

OUR KIDS AND I KNOW THAT. I WISH WHEN I WAS A KID. THAT THEY HAD DLL PROGRAMS. BE BECAUSE I THINK I WOULD HAVE BENEFITED FROM THOSE AND WHAT YOU'RE DOING. TO MOVE CHILDREN FORWARD IS AMAZING. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, UM DR HAROLD QUESTIONS, COMMENTS. JUST TO ECHO WHAT I SAID. AND OUR SMALL GROUP MEETINGS. UM LOVE THE WORK. THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION.

UM, THANK YOU SO MUCH. MR ROBINSON. QUESTIONS, COMMENTS. NO COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS, ALL RIGHT. THIS BLANKET FROM THE STUDENT'S PERSPECTIVE, ANY QUESTIONS? COMMENTS I MEAN, I COULD SAY A LOT, BUT IT'S LATE. UM, IF YOU WANT ME TO TALK, I 100% CANNON WILL, BUT NO QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS JUST THANK YOU AGAIN. EXACTLY REALER. THEY'RE AWESOME. WHAT ELSE CAN I SAY? THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THE WORK YOU DO EVERY DAY. I HEARD TONS OF POSITIVE COMMENTS , ESPECIALLY ABOUT STARS OF SUMMER. PARENTS REALLY LOOK FORWARD TO THAT AND TALK TO THEIR KIDS ABOUT IT. SUMMER SCHOOL. MAYBE NOT AS MUCH. THAT'S OKAY. I DO IT TOO. UM BUT WE APPRECIATE ALL THE OPPORTUNITIES YOU WERE ABLE TO PROVIDE KIDS THIS SUMMER.

HOPEFULLY WE'LL BE ABLE TO FIND SOME GRANTS AND FUND SOME THINGS OUT AND GET SOME MORE DONE NEXT SUMMER, BUT THE CONTINUITY IS GREAT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR SPEARHEADING ALL OF THAT, AND I REALLY DO WANT TO TAKE THAT KID HOME. OH, MY GOD. SO CUTE. A LITTLE PUNCHY HERE, SO TIRED MY FIRST DAY BACK WITH TEACHERS, SO ALL RIGHT. YOU GUYS ARE OFF THE HOOK, BUT THERE'S MORE. MR

[J. Presentation on Proposed Athletic Changes, Mr. Mike O'Brien, Executive Director of Middle & High School Performance - Secondary, and Ms. Deborah Basler, Supervisor of Physical Education and Health - Secondary]

O'BRIEN AND MR BACHELOR. COME ON DOWN. PRESENTATION ON PROPOSED ATHLETIC CHANGES. WHICH I ALREADY KIND OF. DID THE SPOILER FOR YOU GOTTA HURRY UP. YOU'RE LOSING THE AUDIENCE OLOGY. WE'LL BE REALLY FAST, OKAY? ALREADY SPOILED THE END. YOU CAN ASK FOR THAT. I'LL ACT SURPRISED WE WILL RISE. THE HEROES OF THE HOUR.

YEAH. THE MARYLAND PUBLIC SECONDARY SCHOOL ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION, WHICH WE CALL MPS S A WORK FOR THE MARYLAND STATE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AND ARE 24 LOCAL ELIA'S TO PROVIDE INTERSCHOLASTIC ATHLETICS TO OUR PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOLS IN MARYLAND . THE MPS S A PROVIDES BYLAWS, ROLES AND INTERPRETATION THAT ARE FOLLOWED BY ALL PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN MARYLAND. WITHIN THE GUIDELINES OF THE M P S S A OUR LOCAL SCHOOL SYSTEMS, UTILIZED LOCAL ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATIONS AND PROCEDURES IN IMPLEMENTING AND MAKING CHANGES TO INTERSCHOLASTIC ATHLETICS. EACH YEAR. WE HAVE OUR OWN. WE CALLED R A L. C R ATHLETIC LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE, WHICH COMES TOGETHER TO REVIEW AND STUDY THE REGULATIONS FOR GOVERNING AND THE PROCEDURES FOR ADMINISTRATING INTERSCHOLASTIC ATHLETICS HERE LOCALLY. THE MEMBERS OF THIS GROUP INCLUDE PRINCIPLES, ATHLETIC DIRECTORS, COACHES, UM, MISS, POSSIBLY THE SUPERVISOR OF ATHLETICS AND MYSELF, THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOLS.

SO THIS PAST SPRING, A PROPOSAL CAME BEFORE A LSI TO ELIMINATE A WINTER SPORT AND ADD A WINTER SPORT IN ITS PLACE. THE PROCESS FOR ADDING OR ELIMINATING SPORTS ARE PART OF OUR LOCAL REGULATIONS AND POSTED UP ON THE SCREEN. ONCE A MEMBER OF SCHOOL MAKES A PROPOSAL TO ADD OR DELETE OF SPORT IN HARTFORD COUNTY, THE L. C CONSIDERS THIS REQUEST AND ULTIMATELY VOTES ON IT.
