[B. Presentation of Annual Comprehensive Financial Report , Ms. Deborah Judd, Assistant Superintendent for BusinessServices, Mr. Jay Staab, Director of Finance, and Mr. William Early Jr., CPA, Principal at CliftonLarsonAllen (CLA)]

THANK YOU. ALREADY WITH THAT WE'VE CHANGED THE ORDER OF MEANING A BIT. MISS JUDD. I KNOW YOU HAVE SOME GUESTS.

GOOD EVENING, DR MUELLER, OR I'M SORRY, PRESIDENT GAUTIER, VICE PRESIDENT EULER BOARD MEMBERS AND DR PAULSON. I'M DEBORAH JUDD , ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT FOR BUSINESS SERVICES WITH ME THIS EVENING. I HAVE J STOP OR DIRECTOR OF FINANCE. J AND HIS SMALL TEAM ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR GETTING US TO THE FINISH LINE EACH YEAR FOR OUR AUDIT. AND ALSO IS MR BILL EARLY, THE PRINCIPAL WITH CLA OR ON IT FIRM , AND HE IS HERE THIS EVENING TO SHARE THE RESULTS OF OUR JUNE 30 2022 FINANCIAL STATEMENT AUDIT, SO WITH THAT I WILL TURN IT OVER TO HIM AND HE'LL WALK US THROUGH THE PRESENTATION. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, DEBORAH. UM SOAP ON THE SCREEN. YOU'LL SEE OUR POWER POINT PRESENTATION. I'M GOING TO WALK THROUGH. UM QUICKLY AND THEN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. UM AGAIN, AS, UH, DEBRA SAID. I'M BILL EARLY ON THE PRINCIPLE ASSIGNED TO THE

[00:10:05]

ENGAGEMENT WITH ME WAS WORKING ON IT WAS ALEX WALTHER. ONE OF THE DIRECTORS WERE BOTH OUT OF OUR GOVERNMENT SERVICES TEAM OUT OF TIMONIUM. MARYLAND OFFICES. UM, WE ALSO HAD OTHER STAFF MEMBERS THAT WORKED ON THE ENGAGEMENT, INCLUDING I T PROFESSIONALS. AND OTHER MEMBERS FROM OUR GOVERNMENT SERVICES TEAM. UM I'M GONNA WALK THROUGH THE AUDIT, SCOPE OR APPROACH.

THE AUDIT RESULTS REQUIRE COMMUNICATION THAT GOES TO YOU ALL AS THE BOARD. UM, AND THEN I'LL GO THROUGH A QUICK GATSBY UPDATE, WHICH IS MORE DIRECT AND MORE FOR J PROBABLY THAN ANYONE ELSE IN THE ROOM AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. UM THE AUDIT SCOPE. WE DID AUDIT THE JUNE 30TH 2022 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. UM THEY WERE ISSUED TO MSD BY THE REQUIRED DEADLINE OF SEPTEMBER 30TH THIS YEAR THAT IS BECOMING MORE AND MORE OF A CHALLENGE EACH YEAR. YOU SHOULD BE EXTREMELY HONORED AND PROUD OF THE FINANCE TEAM YOU HAVE FOR THERE WERE SEVERAL COUNTIES THAT DID NOT MAKE IT BY THE JUNE 30. EVERYBODY SEPTEMBER 30TH DEADLINE. UM THE REASON IS WHEN WE'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS, BUT THE AMOUNT OF INFORMATION INCLUDING THIS ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT IS GROWING EACH YEAR AS THE GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD'S ISSUES MORE AND MORE REQUIRED DISCLOSURES AND REQUIRED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS SO WITH THAT IS TREMENDOUS UNDERTAKING THIS YEAR WAS IMPLEMENTED, YOU'LL SEE I'LL TALK ABOUT WHAT'S KNOWN AS GAZ, BT SEVEN. WHERE YOU HAD TO REPORT LEASES THAT YOU HAD THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. UM THAT COMBINED WITH JUST GETTING THE ALL THE INFORMATION FROM OUTSIDE PARTIES THAT SHE NEEDS SUCH AS ACTUARIES, THE TIMING AND THE STRANGER A LOT OF THOSE FIRMS AS EVERYBODY IS, YOU'RE HAVING HEARD DR BARRY MENTIONED STAFFING. UM YOU KNOW, STRANGE YOU GUYS ARE ALSO HAVING OTHER PROFESSIONAL FIRMS ARE HAVING THE SAME THING. SO A LOT OF THOSE REPORTS ARE COMING TO J AND HIS TEAM LATER AND LATER EVERY YEAR. SO THEY HAVE TO WORK FASTER AND FASTER AT THAT CLOSING PERIOD TO GET IT DONE SO AGAIN, YOU SHOULD BE EXTREMELY PROUD OF THE EFFORT THEY PUT IN TO MAKE SURE THAT IT IS ISSUED BY SEPTEMBER. 30TH DEADLINE. THE SINGLE AUDIT, UM, WHICH REQUIRED THAT SCHEDULE OF FEDERAL EXPENDITURES THAT WERE REQUIRED TO AUDIT THAT IS IN PROCESS THAT IS DUE TO MSD. BY 12 31. AND I CAN SAY AS OF NOW WE'RE ON TRACK, UM, TO HAVE THAT ISSUE ON TIME. WE ALSO ISSUED OUR REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER COMPLIANCE, AND WE ISSUED A LETTER TO THOSE CHARGED WITH GOVERNANCE, WHICH I'M GOING TO WALK THROUGH. WE USE A FOUR PHASE APPROACH FOR AUDIT WHEN WE COME IN THE AUDIT ACTUALLY RUNS WHILE WE'RE HERE REPORTING IN NOVEMBER, UM, IT ACTUALLY STARTS ABOUT THAT APRIL MAY TIMEFRAME.

WE START WORKING ON PRELIMINARY FIELDWORK. WE GET THAT DONE. THEN WE TAKE A LITTLE BREAK DOWN SOMEWHERE. THEY CLOSED THE BOOKS AND THEN WE COME IN AND WE PICKED BACK UP. UM HEAVY IN AUGUST AND THROUGH SEPTEMBER ISSUE BY THE SEPTEMBER 30TH DEADLINE. AND THEN AFTER THAT, WE WORK ON THE SINGLE AUDIT, WHICH WERE COMPLETING IN THE PROCESS OF COMPLETING NOW, SO IT IS ABOUT A SIX MONTH TO NINE MONTH PROCESS THAT CAN GO ON. SO, UM, AND IN ADDITION TO THAT THE NUMBER OF FEDERAL DOLLARS THAT YOU HAVE COMING THROUGH, UM , HAS INCREASED RAPIDLY OVER THE YEARS, SO THAT'S CAUSING ADDITIONAL RESOURCES TO BE PUT UNDER THE AUDIO REQUIREMENTS. SO IT IS A TREMENDOUS UNDERTAKEN BY THEM FOR A NINE MONTH PERIOD BECAUSE WHILE THEY'RE DOING THAT THEY'RE STILL MAKING SURE THAT THEY ANSWER ALL THE QUESTIONS. YOU ALL MAY HAVE ANYONE ELSE HAS ABOUT THE DAY TO DAY OPERATIONS. UM WE DO USE A SPECIALIZED TEAM, AS I SAID OF GOVERNMENT ORDERS OUT OF OUR GOVERNMENT SERVICES TEAM. WE DO USE A RISK BASED APPROACH. WE ARE DIFFERENT THAN LEGISLATIVE AUDIT INTERNAL AUDITS, ETCETERA, WHERE WE DO SET OF MATERIALITY. WE DO NOT AUDIT EVERY TRANSACTION. UM IT'S IN THESE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THAT'S NOT THE EXTERNAL AUDITORS , UM, JOB AND THAT'S WHAT ARE KIND OF WE SAY WE GIVE REASONABLE ASSURANCE. I'M NOT ABSOLUTE. WE DO HAVE COMMUNICATION, BOTH FREQUENT AND INFREQUENT. WITH DEBORAH AND J.

SOCIALLY THROUGHOUT THIS YEAR REGARDING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE GAZ BT SEVEN. UM AND GENERALLY JUST ACCOUNTING QUESTIONS AS THEY COME UP. UM AND WE ALSO DO USE SOME DATA ANALYTICS. EVERYTHING IS MOVING TOWARDS THAT FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING PURPOSES AND AUDITING PURPOSES. UM WE ISSUED AN UNMODIFIED OPINION. UM, IT DOES READ DIFFERENTLY. THERE WAS A NEW AUDIENCE STANDARD THIS YEAR, SO IT WHILE IT ISN'T A NEW FORMAT, IT BASICALLY READS THE SAME AS UNMODIFIED WHAT'S KNOWN AS A CLEAN OPINION ON THE FINISHED STATEMENTS AND THEN ANOTHER PROUD THING TO BE PROUD OF IS THAT YOU HAVE NO MATERIAL WEAKNESSES AND NO SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCIES NOTED WITHIN YOUR INTERNAL CONTROL REPORT. UM SO THAT'S ANOTHER GREAT STEP. THAT MEANS WHEN WE TESTED INTERNAL CONTROLS WE FOUND EVERYTHING TO BE OPERATING EFFICIENTLY EFFECTIVELY WHEN WE PERFORMED OUR TESTING. UM WE ALSO AGAIN WE DETAINED REASONABLE ASSURANCE.

NOT ABSOLUTE. WE DO ASSESS THE ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND THE SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATES USED BY MANAGEMENT PERFORMED TESTING AROUND OF THOSE ITEMS. WE DO EVALUATE THEIR OVERALL FINANCIAL PRESENTATION. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF MANAGEMENT. WE ACTUALLY HAVE THREE PAGES AND HEROES ARE DEPENDENT. EVERYTHING ELSE IS PREPARED BY J AND HIS TEAM. WE DO WE AGAIN? WE

[00:15:04]

MENTIONED UNMODIFIED OPINION. WE DID HAVE AN EMPHASIS OF MATTER FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF, UM GATSBY 87 YOU WERE REQUIRED TO IMPLEMENT IT WASN'T SOMETHING YOU WERE DOING WRONG. IN THE PAST. IT WAS A CHANGE IN AUDITING STANDARDS AND ACCOUNTING STANDARDS. YOUR SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ARE IN NOTE ONE OF YOUR FINANCIAL STATEMENT. THERE WAS A NEW ONE ADDED THIS YEAR FOR GAZ BT SEVEN. UM ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS USED BY MANAGEMENT THAT WE LOOKED AT WERE CAPITAL ASSETS. THE USEFUL LIVES FOR DEPRECIATION PURPOSES AND THEN YOUR YOUR EX WHERE YOU'LL PENSION OPEN ASSUMPTIONS. WE LOOKED AT. WE HAD NO SIGNIFICANT CORRECTED MISSTATEMENTS WE DID HAVE WHAT'S KNOWN AS ONE UNCORRECTED MISSTATEMENT. UM AND IT WAS BASICALLY WHAT'S CALLED A PASS ADJUSTMENT MEANS IT'S BELOW OUR MATERIALITY THRESHOLD. WE THEREFORE DID NOT HAVE TO BOOK IT FOR YOUR FINANCIAL MATERIALLY CORRECT AND BASICALLY, IT WAS RELATED TO THAT IMPLEMENTATION OF GAZ BT SEVEN. RATHER THAN GO BACK TO THE BEGINNING AND RESTATED IS IT WILL JUST RUN THROUGH THE FINISH STATEMENTS IN THE CURRENT YEAR. BECAUSE IT WAS NOT MATERIAL SO IT WOULD NOT ALTER THE RESULTS OF THE FINNISH STUDENTS IN ANY WAY. WE HAVE NO DISAGREEMENTS WITH MANAGEMENT MANAGEMENT WAS COOPERATIVE PROFESSIONAL DURING THE AUTO PROCESS. THEY DID NOT CONSULT WITH ANY OTHER ACCOUNTANTS, PART OF CONVERSATIONS WE HAD WITH NEW MAJOR ISSUES DISCUSSED WITH THEM PRIOR TO US BEING SELECTED AS THE AUDITORS. WE ACTUALLY ARE STILL UNDER CONTRACT AND WE'RE UNDER CONTRACT FOR THIS YEAR, UM FROM BEING SELECTED IN PREVIOUS YEARS. UH THE NEXT BIG ISSUE COMING UP YOU, HE SAID YOU HEARD ME MENTION 87 THIS YEAR WILL BE J HAS ALREADY STARTED WORKING ON THE IMPLICATION OF GATSBY 96, WHICH WILL REQUIRE THE RECOGNITION OF SUBSCRIPTION BASED INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AGREEMENTS. WHAT'S CALLED SABINA'S SO AGAIN WHEN WE FIRST STARTED, UM, WHERE I FIRST STARTED 20 SOME YEARS AGO, THERE WAS MAYBE ONE NEW GAS BE EVERY COUPLE OF YEARS, AND NOW THERE'S ABOUT ONE PER YEAR. IF NOT 2. TO 3 PER YEAR. YOU HAVE TO IMPLEMENT SO IT IS A CHALLENGE FOR SUCH A SMALL FINANCE TEAM.

SO UM, AGAIN A TREMENDOUS JOB BY THEM TO ISSUE THAT FINANCIAL ADVICE. SEPTEMBER 30TH. THAT ALL STOPPED AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. GREAT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ALL RIGHT. I ACTUALLY HAVE SOME QUESTIONS THAT I FIGURED THERE'S PROBABLY SOMEBODY ELSE THAT DOES, TOO. SO LET'S START DOWN THERE. DAVID QUESTIONS YOUR QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, SO, YEAH, I HAVE NO QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. TREAT. THANK YOU. AND YOU MUST BE SO PROUD TO HAVE YOUR TEAM. IT'S REALLY, REALLY GREAT.

THANK YOU. NO QUESTIONS. THANKS. JUST THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION AND THANK YOU FOR THE WORK THAT YOU DO. UM, DR HAROLD OR MR ROBINSON. ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS? DONE FOR ME. NONE FOR ME EITHER. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS PRESENTATION. I APPRECIATE IT.

ONLY QUESTION IS ABOUT THE GADDAFIS. YOU SAID THAT THERE'S AN UPTICK IN THEM. IS THERE ANY PARTICULAR REASON WHY I MEAN, I KNOW THAT IT'S NOT WITHIN OUR PURVIEW. I'M JUST CURIOUS LIKE I WOULD SAY NO, NOT REALLY. BESIDES, THEY'RE TRYING TO MORE LINE GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS, MAYBE WITH WHAT'S DONE IN BUSINESS PRACTICE WAS CALLED THE FEDS BE WORLD, SO WE'RE JUST TRYING TO CATCH UP TO THEM. A LITTLE BIT IS REALLY WHAT WE'RE SEEING SO COUNCIL. NO REAL REASON THAT I KNOW OF IF YOU HAVE A DIFFERENT VIEW. IT IS CHALLENGING, THOUGH IT HAS BEEN AN SHARE THOSE WITH US LATER. ALL RIGHT. NO QUESTIONS. THANK YOU SO MUCH. APPRECIATE YOUR TIME, AND WE ALWAYS APPRECIATE. ALRIGHT. NOW BACK TO OUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED THINGS.

[C. Public Comments]

GONNA READ THE FOLLOWING RULES FOR PUBLIC COMMENT. IN PERSON. SPEAKERS WILL PROCEED. FIRST THEY WILL BE CALLED BY THE BOARD SECRETARY. REMOTE SPEAKERS WILL PROCEED NEXT. THEY WILL BE ADMITTED TO THE MEETING BY AN HTTPS STAFF MEMBER WHEN IT IS THEIR TURN TO SPEAK. ALL SPEAKERS WILL RECEIVE THREE MINUTES DUE TO SPEAK DUE TO THE NUMBER OF REGISTERED SPEAKERS.

SPEAKERS MAY BE INTERRUPTED, BE GIVEN NOTICE WHEN THEY HAVE 30 SECONDS LEFT WHEN SPEAKERS HAVE REACHED THEIR THREE MINUTE MARK. THEIR TIME WILL EXPIRE, MISS RALLO PRESIDENT CORREA THIS EVENING. WE HAVE EIGHT IMPRISONED SPEAKERS. WE WILL START WITH CHRISTOPHER PROVIDENCE FOLLOWED BY LAURA, WAIT. GOOD EVENING, DR WILSON. PRESIDENT GAUTIER AND MEMBERS OF THE SCHOOL BOARD. MY NAME IS CHRISTOPHER PROVIDENCE MEMBER, THE HARFORD COUNTY IN A DEEP AND THE HARFORD COUNTY COMMITTEE OF THE MARYLAND LYNCHING MEMORIAL PROJECT, AND SO ON EXCELLENT FILM LAST WEEK CALLED TILL T I L L ABOUT THE HORRIFIC LEE. BRUTAL LYNCHING OF 14 YEAR OLD EMMETT TILL IN MISSISSIPPI IN 1955, AND THE EFFORTS OF HIS COURAGEOUS MOTHER, MAMIE TILL MOBLEY TO GET JUSTICE FOR HER SON. THIS FILM IS A POWERFUL REMINDER THAT WHITEWASHING, IGNORING AND

[00:20:02]

DOWNPLAYING THE DIFFICULT, UNCOMFORTABLE PARTS OF OUR HISTORY. DOES IT DISSERVICE NOT JUST TO MARGINALIZED PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY, BUT TO EVERY AMERICAN CITIZEN, INCLUDING OUR YOUTH. OUR STUDENTS DESERVE TO KNOW THAT WHAT THEY ARE LEARNING ABOUT HISTORY IS BASED ON TRUTH AND FACTS AND REFLECTIVE OF DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES, EVEN THOUGH SOME OF THESE TRUTHS AND FACTS MAY BE UNCOMFORTABLE. FOR YEARS, STUDENTS OF COLOR HAVE BEEN MADE TO FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE IN THEIR CLASSROOMS BY NOT HAVING THEIR HISTORIES, ACHIEVEMENTS, CONTRIBUTIONS AND STRUGGLES, ACKNOWLEDGED. DURING THE OCTOBER 24TH BOARD MEETING, A COURAGEOUS YOUNG STUDENTS SPOKE ABOUT BEING A TRANS STUDENT IN HARVARD COUNTY SCHOOLS THIS CHILD HAD TO ADVOCATE FOR THEIR SELF AND OTHER TRANS STUDENTS IN THE PRESENCE OF ADULTS USED JUDGMENTAL AND INFLAMMATORY WORDS TO EXPRESS THEIR DISAPPROVAL SUCH AS EVIL.

PERVERSION RADICAL POLITICAL IDEOLOGY AND CULTURAL MARXISM AND PHRASES SUCH AS THEY THINK THAT THEY ARE WHAT THEY ARE NOT SOME SPEAKERS SPOKE OUT AGAINST EQUITY, WHICH INDICATES THAT THEY BELIEVE THAT SOME GROUPS DESERVE FAIRNESS, RESPECT AND SAFETY, BUT OTHERS DON'T AS ADULTS. WE SHOULD BE MODELING, EMPATHY, COMPASSION AND THE WILLINGNESS TO EDUCATE OURSELVES ABOUT THINGS WE DON'T UNDERSTAND BEFORE SPEAKING AND ACTING OUT OF ANGER AND HOSTILITY, MUCH OF THIS ANGER IS ROOTED IN FEAR, FEAR OF THE CHANGING RACIAL DEMOGRAPHICS IN THIS COUNTRY, FEAR OF LOSING POWER CONTROL AND PRIVILEGE. FEAR OF THOSE WHO ARE DIFFERENT AND THOSE WHO THINK DIFFERENTLY. THIS FEAR IS FED BY LIES, MISINFORMATION, CONSPIRACY THEORIES AND A REFUSAL TO ACKNOWLEDGE FACTS, SCIENCE AND RESEARCH. AND THIS FEAR IS MANIFESTED AND DISRESPECT, DISRESPECT, THREATS, INTIMIDATION AND ACTS OF VIOLENCE. OUR SYSTEM IS A PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM. YOU CAN'T IMPOSE PERSONAL BIASES ON OTHER CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES UNDER THE GUISE OF PARENTAL RIGHTS. IT IS A PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEMS RESPONSIBILITY TO EDUCATE SUPPORT AND PROVIDE A SAFE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT FOR ALL STUDENTS, REGARDLESS OF THEIR RACE, RELIGION, DISABILITY , SEXUAL ORIENTATION OR GENDER IDENTITY. THANK YOU.

TRAESCH ARE ALWAYS SMILING AT ME. I APPRECIATE THAT. GOOD EVENING BOARD MEMBERS. ON SEPTEMBER 12TH 2022. I HUMBLY APPEAL TO THIS BOARD TO RESTORE THE SEVEN NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED OBSERVANCES THAT WERE QUIETLY REMOVED. FROM THE CURRENT PARENT STUDENT HANDBOOK CALENDAR WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE OR INPUT FROM THE PUBLIC. DURING THE SUBSEQUENT BOARD MEETING HELD ON SEPTEMBER 19TH. WE LEARNED THEIR REMOVAL WAS INTENTIONAL. AS DR BAUER INDICATED THE CALENDAR WAS TRIMMED DOWN A LOT BECAUSE IT CONTAINED A LOT OF RANDOM THINGS. WELL, I HAVE THE SAME MEETING. I WAS STUNNED TO HEAR DR MUELLER INDICATE THAT SHE FEELS IT'S IT IS SUCH A MINIMALIST CALENDAR THAT IT WOULD OPEN A CAN OF WORMS THAT HAVE NO NEED TO BE REOPENED.

SHOULD BE OBSERVANCES BE REINSTATED. TO BE CLEAR. THESE OBSERVANCES WERE TRADITIONALLY NOTED ON THE HANDBOOK CALENDAR. AND WITH THE EXCEPTION OF CONSTITUTION DAY, WHICH DOES REQUIRE A LESSON. THESE ARE NOT DAYS OFF, AND THEY DO NOT IMPACT THE INSTRUCTIONAL CALENDAR AT ALL. THEY'RE SIMPLE NOTATIONS LIKE MOTHER'S DAY FATHER'S DAY. WAS ANY THOUGHT GIVEN ABOUT HOW THIS TRIMMING APPEARS TO DISHONOR OR VETERANS, ACTIVE SERVICE MEMBERS. THE CONSTITUTION THE AMERICAN FLAG INTO THE LIVES LOST ON SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 AND DECEMBER 7TH 1941 THE DATE THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY. SOME OF US STOOD HERE TONIGHT AND PLEDGED OUR ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG. BUT OUR STUDENTS WOULDN'T KNOW WHAT DAY TO HONOR THE FLAG BECAUSE FLAG DAY WAS TURNED OUT. THE MEMORIAL RIGHT OUTSIDE OF THIS BUILDING HONORS THE LIVES OF OUR FORMER STUDENTS WHO MADE THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE FOR OUR FREEDOM, BUT WE HONORED THEM BY TRIMMING NATIONAL FREEDOM DAY. FROM THE CALENDAR. ON SEPTEMBER 11TH 2001 MORE THAN 35,000 HCPS. CHILDREN EXPERIENCE THE MOST HORRIFIC AND HISTORICAL EVENT OF THEIR LIFETIME. BUT OUR CURRENT CHILDREN ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SEE THE OBSERVANCE ON THE CALENDAR BECAUSE IT WAS TRIMMED FROM THEIR VIEW. SO IT'S CLEARING THAT THE DECISION WAS MADE TO LEAVE NATIONALLY BIKE TO SCHOOL DAY ON THE CALENDAR. AS WE LEAVE THIS EVENING, WE SHOULD SEEK TO HUMBLE OURSELF AT THE FOOT OF THE MEMORIAL RIGHT OUTSIDE OF THIS BUILDING. AND THINK ABOUT HOW WE WOULD RECONCILE THIS SOME PATRIOTIC ACT WITH THE FAMILIES OF THE FORMER STUDENTS WHO SACRIFICED AT ALL FOR FREEDOM.

[00:25:06]

AS A LONGTIME EMPLOYEE OF HCPS. IT IS DIFFICULT TO SPEAK UP CONCERNING MATTERS OF GREAT IMPORTANCE WITHOUT THOUGHT OF REPERCUSSION. BUT MY LOVE FOR GOD AND THIS COUNTRY FAR OUTWEIGH MY FEAR. THEREFORE, I AM ONCE AGAIN, PETITIONING THIS BOARD TO HONORABLY RESTORED THE SEVEN OBSERVANCES. AFTER ALL, WHAT GOOD IS ACCOUNT OR WITH NOTHING ON IT. THANK YOU. NIGHTS QUALIFY. WILLIAM MARTINO. PRETTY EVENING. TONIGHT I WANT TO TOUCH UPON THE WORD EQUITY. I HEARD A LOT OF PEOPLE USE IT IN THE LAST MEETING INCORRECTLY. I'D LIKE TO HELP EXPLAIN. WE THE HARFORD COUNTY IN ACP. DO EXPECT OUR NEW BOARD MEMBERS TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE OF EQUITY. EQUITY IS MAKING SURE THAT YOU GIVE SOMEONE ENOUGH TO BE ON EQUAL FOOTING WITH THE PERSON WHO HAS THE MOST. IT'S PROVIDING THE NECESSARY TOOLS TO GIVE THEM THE SAME STARTING POINT. SO THAT THEY CAN REACH THE SAME POTENTIAL. IF THEY DON'T HAVE THE SAME STARTING POINT, THEY'LL NEVER REACH THE SAME POTENTIAL. SOME OF OUR SCHOOLS HAVE SWIMMING POOLS. SOME DON'T SOME HAVE MORE ROBUST ATHLETICS. OTHERS DON'T SOME SCHOOLS WHO WERE BY DESIGN SET UP WHAT WERE SET UP WITH LESS. REQUIRE MORE TO CATCH UP WITH SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITIES WHO WERE BY DESIGN SET UP WITH MORE THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT EQUITY DOESN'T TAKE AWAY FROM ONE STUDENT AT ALL. BUT IT DOES EMPOWER THEM ALL. AND I ALSO WANT TO SAY TO THE PUBLIC. PLEASE GO OUT AND VOTE. THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT ELECTION, AND WE DO HAVE EXPECTATIONS OF THE BOARD AND WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE A SOLID BOARD FOR THE NEXT YEAR. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING. FOR THE LAST 4 TO 5 DECADES, THE MARYLAND PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM HAS DRIVEN GOD IN HIS STANDARDS OF GOOD OUT OF THE CLASSROOM. GOD'S STANDARDS OR TO PUT US OR NOT TO PUT US IN BONDAGE. BUT GIVE US LIBERTY.

FREEDOM FROM SINFUL DESIRES THAT WILL ENSLAVE US. ONCE THE LORD HAS BEEN ERADICATED BY THE SCHOOL BOARD. THEIR LEAVES A VOID OF MORALITY THAT DESPERATELY NEEDS TO BE FILLED.

ALONG COMES THE MARXIST AND ATTEMPTS TO FILL THAT VOID WITH NATURALISM AND SECULAR HUMANISM AS THE NEW RELIGION. THIS DEMANDS THE PUPILS WORSHIP THE STATE AND ACCEPT THE STATE ENDORSED MORALITY BELIEFS. PROVERBS TELLS US THERE IS A WAY THAT SEEMS RIGHT TO MAN. BUT ITS END IS THE WAY OF DEATH. FIRST CORINTHIANS. FOR THE MAN'S. FOR THE LORD'S FOOLISHNESS. THE FOOLISHNESS OF GOD IS WISER THAN IN MAN'S WISDOM, AND THE WEAKNESS OF GOD IS STRONGER THAN MAN STRENGTH. HISTORICALLY STATE SPONSORED MORALITY SYSTEMS HAVE PRODUCED DISASTROUS, DISASTROUS RESULTS. WHY DO YOU THINK IT'LL BE DIFFERENT THIS TIME? REMEMBER FAMOUS PSYCHIATRIST AND WHOLE CAST COST SURVIVOR, VIKTOR FRANKL WROTE. THAT THE WHOLE LACOSTE WASN'T THE RESULT OF THE GERMAN MINISTRY OF DEFENSE. BUT CAME FROM THE LECTURE HALLS OF ACADEMIA. WHAT FUTURE GENOCIDE IS WAITING AMERICA IF WE CONTINUE THIS PATH OF DESTRUCTION BY THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM. HARFORD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS HAS PUSHED THE AGENDA OF SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS. ALLOWED PERVERSION IN THE SCHOOLS, ALL WHILE SACRIFICING REQUIRED TRADITIONAL ACADEMICS. THE BOLSON REGIME, AND THIS BOARD WILL FOREVER BE REMEMBERED FOR BRINGING HARFORD COUNTY DISMALLY LOW TEST SCORES. INCREASED SUICIDES. LAWLESSNESS IN THE CLASSROOMS AND INCREASED IN DEPRESSION. THE RESULTS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES. HTTPS NEEDS NEW LEADERSHIP. HOW CAN WE FEEL A FUTURE JOBS IN THE FIELDS OF TECHNOLOGY AND MEDICINE, WITH STUDENTS PRODUCING DISGUSTINGLY LOW TEST SCORES AND TRADITIONAL ACADEMICS? THE STATE MORALITY PROGRAMS WILL NOT PREPARE THEM TO SATISFY THIS JOB MARKET. GET HARTFORD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS BACK TO TEACHING TIME HONORED TRADITIONAL ACADEMICS AND LEAVE MORALITY TO THE PARENTS. ALSO WANTED TO ADDRESS. EARLIER COMMENT ABOUT LOUDON, VIRGINIA SCHOOL. THIS CAME FROM THE NEW YORK POST TWO MONTHS AFTER THE NEW YORK TIMES STORY. THE CASE INVOLVED A 14 YEAR OLD SKIRT WEARING BOY WHO ATTACKED A 15

[00:30:05]

YEAR OLD GIRL IN THE BATHROOM. IT WAS ALLOWED TO TRANSFER TO A NEIGHBORING SCHOOL, WHERE HE STRUCK AGAIN ALLOWED BOYS AND THE GIRLS BATHROOM AND DISASTER HAPPENED. POLICE STOP! THANK YOU. THAT'S WE HAVE SUSIE SPOT, FOLLOWED BY NANNY SHAKA. GOOD EVENING. AND EVEN FINDING OUT WHAT THE VOTERS OF OUR COUNTY, STATE AND NATION HAVE TO SAY ONE OF THE HOT BUTTON ISSUES OF THE ELECTION WILL BE THE FIGHT FOR PARENTAL RIGHTS AND EDUCATION. FOR GENERATIONS. PARENTS HAVE COLLABORATED WITH SCHOOLS, PUBLIC, PRIVATE OR PAROCHIAL TO ASSIST THEM IN THE ACADEMIC FORMATION OF THEIR CHILDREN. WE TRUSTED OUR SCHOOLS WITH THE FORMATION OF OUR CHILDREN, BUT FOR GENERATIONS WE HAVE WATCHED AS OUR STUDENTS FALL FURTHER BEHIND IN WORLD EDUCATION RANKINGS. THIS IS NOT AN ALL OF A SUDDEN EVENT BROUGHT ON IN THE AFTERMATH OF PANDEMIC LOCKDOWNS BUT HAS BEEN SYSTEMATICALLY ROLLED OUT IN OUR HIGHER INSTITUTIONS OF LEARNING FOR DECADES. THE FUNDAMENTAL TRANSFORMATION OF EDUCATION ISN'T HAPPENING ONLY HERE AT HTTPS, BUT IN EVERY STATE, EVERY SCHOOL, PUBLIC OR PRIVATE THAT ACCEPTS MONEY FROM FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS. THAT IS TAXPAYERS WHO ARE APPALLED AT WHAT IS NOW OCCURRING IN OUR SCHOOLS ARE FOOTING THE BILL FOR IT. AMERICAN TAXPAYERS HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY DEFRAUDED BY THIS BAIT AND SWITCH, WHICH IS THE VERY THEFT OF ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE BEING REPLACED BY ALPHABET IDEOLOGIES. D E. I S C L. C S C AND ON AND ON. OUR CHILDREN ARE BEING ROBBED OF A SOLID ACADEMIC FORMATION AND INSTEAD OF BEING INSTRUCTED IN READING, WRITING, MATH, SCIENCE AND CIVICS THEY ARE BEING INDOCTRINATED BY A PEDAGOGY OF THE OPPRESSED. THE GOAL OF MODERN EDUCATION IS WHAT IS CALLED CONSCIENTIOUS HAITIAN WEIRD WORD TRANSLATED FROM THE PORTUGUESE CONCEPT GIVEN TO US FROM A BRAZILIAN MARXIST WHOSE WORK HAS BEEN INFLUENCING EDUCATION PREDICT GENERATIONS. HIS NAME IS PAOLO FERRARI AND HIS MAGNUM OPUS BOOK. PEDAGOGY OF THE OPPRESSED, HAS COMPLETELY CAPTURED AND REINVENTED EDUCATION. THE BALL OF FREE AREA IN EDUCATION. THIS CONSEQUENT IZATION IS ESSENTIALLY THE REPLACEMENT OF BEING EDUCATED OR LITERATE TO BECOMING POLITICALLY LITERATE OR POLITICALLY EDUCATED. THIS PROCESS IS SUCCESSFUL AT TRANSFORMING SO MANY OF OUR YOUNG PEOPLE INTO SOCIAL JUSTICE WARRIORS. IT IS ACTUALLY THOUGHT REFORM. WHAT IS OCCURRING IN OUR SCHOOLS IS INTRINSICALLY AND PSYCHOLOGICALLY ABUSIVE. EVERYTHING HAPPENING IN OUR SCHOOLS TODAY SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING, CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE , TEACHING ON AND ON ITS CONTINENTAL IZATION POSING IS EDUCATION. WE ARE BEING HANDED A BILL OF GOODS. AND IF YOU AND YOU SAY, IF YOU JUST TAKE CARE OF THE SOCIAL EMOTIONAL ISSUES WERE WELL, THAT THEY'RE LEARNING WILL TAKE CARE OF ITSELF. AH IRREPARABLE PSYCHOLOGICAL DAMAGE IS BEING CARRIED OUT ON OUR CHILDREN, THE SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING THAT IS ALL THE RAGE NOW IS DESIGNED TO DESTABILIZE THE SELF OF THE CHILD WITH THEIR VERY IDENTITY. IS IT ANY WONDER WE ARE SEEING RATES OF DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY AND PERSONALITY DISORDERS SKYROCKET IN OUR YOUTH? SO ON THE EVE OF OUR ELECTION, PLEASE REMEMBER POLITICS MATTERS BECAUSE POLITICS DETERMINES POLICY AND POLICY, ESPECIALLY THE POLICIES OF THIS SCHOOL BOARD AFFECT CHILDREN. AND OUR CHILDREN MATTER. THANK YOU.

GOOD EVENING. VETERANS HAVE KEPT US FIRMLY ANCHORED TO THE THINGS THAT MAKE THIS COUNTRY STRONG.

WE CELEBRATE OUR VETERANS AND VETERANS DAY WITH DEEP GRATITUDE FOR THEIR SACRIFICES. IN MY OPINION, THIS BOARD AND ADMINISTRATION IS WASTING TAXPAYER DOLLARS ON EQUITY, INCLUSION AND DIVERSITY. THE POINT OF SCHOOL IS TO EDUCATE CHILDREN. SCOTT SCIENCE SCORES WERE ABYSMAL. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HOW BAD READING AND MATH SCORES ARE GOING TO BE. THE SCHOOLS NEED TO STOP TRYING TO GROOM CHILDREN. STOPPED INDOCTRINATING THEM WITH CRT AND INTERSECTIONALITY. WE NEED TO GET BACK TO READING, MATH WRITING AND U. S HISTORY.

SPEAKING OF HISTORY. WHY DON'T WE UTILIZE THE 17 76 UNITES CURRICULUM FROM THE WOODSON CENTER? IT OFFERS AUTHENTIC, INSPIRING STORIES FROM AMERICAN HISTORY AND SHOWS WHAT IS BEST IN OUR NATIONAL CHARACTER AND WHAT OUR FREEDOM MAKES POSSIBLE , EVEN IN THE MOST DIFFICULT SITUATIONS. IT MAINTAINS A FOCUS ON STORIES THAT CELEBRATE BLACK EXCELLENCE. IT REJECTS VICTIMHOOD AND PROMOTES AND SHOWCASES AFRICAN AMERICANS WHO HAVE PROSPERED BY EMBRACING AMERICA'S FOUNDING IDEAS. THE WOODSON CENTER HAS LED BY ROBERT WOODSON, SENIOR WHO IS A CIVIL

[00:35:04]

RIGHTS LEADER AND HAS LED THE NATIONAL URBAN LEAGUE'S DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE. ON ANOTHER TOPIC, EXPLICIT SEXUAL CONTENT SHOULD NOT BE PART OF OUR CHILDREN'S EDUCATION. THE DESIRE OF THIS BOARD AND ADMINISTRATION IS REFLECTED AND TRAINING MATERIALS USED IN THE DISTRICT. THERE IS A BILL IN CONGRESS CURRENTLY. HR 91 97. IT'S CALLED STOP THE SEXUALIZATION OF CHILDREN ACT. THIS BILL AIMS TO STOP USING FEDERAL MONEY TO EXPOSE CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 10. TOO SEXUALIZED THINGS AND RADICAL GENDER THEORY. THIS BILL SIMPLY PROMOTES THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FROM IMPLEMENTING AND FUNDING SEXUALLY ORIENTATED PROGRAMS, EVENTS OR LITERATURE. FOUR CHILDREN. NOT SURPRISINGLY, THE TEACHERS UNION SCHOOL COUNSELORS ASSOCIATION AND SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGISTS ARE AGAINST THE BILL. PARENTS GRANDPARENTS AND CITIZENS OF HEALTH. HARTFORD COUNTY ARE HOPING THAT THIS BILL PASSES. THANK YOU. NEXT WE HAVE TINA ANOOSHA FOR BY THOMAS PADDINGTON. YES WE DO NEED GOD BACK IN OUR SCHOOLS. PROVERBS 29 18. WHEN PEOPLE DO NOT ACCEPT DIVINE GUIDANCE, THEY RUN WILD, BUT WHOEVER OBEYS THE LAW IS JOYFUL. THE SCHOOLS TODAY DID NOT SEEM TO BE FULL OF JOY. BY TAKING GOD OUT OF THE SCHOOLS.

WE HAVE CREATED A VACUUM FOR ALL THESE EVIL SCHOOL MATERIALS AND PRACTICES TO BE ALLOWED INTO THE SCHOOLS. YOU HAVE SEXUALLY EXPLICIT THEMES AND SCENES SCENES IN BOOKS ON THE SHELVES OF OUR SCHOOLS. THESE HAVE BEEN RED RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU, SO IT CANNOT BE DENIED THAT THEY EXIST. THERE ARE BOOKS, WHICH HAVE GRAPHIC ARTIST RENDITIONS OF PORNOGRAPHY IN THEM, THE NAMES OF THESE BOOKS AND THE SPECIFIC HARPER COUNTY SCHOOLS THEY ARE IN HAVE BEEN PROVIDED BEFORE. AND OF COURSE, THE BOARD HAS EASY ACCESS TO THAT INFORMATION. THERE ARE SPECIAL SECTIONS OF RETAIL BOOKSTORES, WHICH WARN PARENTS OF ADULT THEMED BOOKS. YET THESE BOOKS ARE ALLOWED TO BE FREELY ACCESSED BY OUR CHILDREN AT SCHOOL. WE NOW ALLOW STUDENTS WHO IDENTIFY AS THE OPPOSITE SEX TO BE ALLOWED IN THE LOCKER ROOM OF THEIR CHOICE. A RECENT EPISODE WAS BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF MR BOB CASSILLY, CURRENT MARYLAND STATE SENATOR.

A STUDENT WAS IN THE LOCKER ROOM OF THAT STUDENTS BIRTH GENDER AND TOLD PARENTS THAT A STUDENT OF THE OPPOSITE BROKE GENDER WAS ALLOWED IN THE LOCKER ROOM WHILE THE ORIGINAL STUDENT WAS SUPPOSED TO UNDRESS IN FRONT OF THIS PERSON. MR CASTLE REPORTED TO THIS THIS TO THE BOARD OF ED IN PROTESTS AND WE SUPPORT ENCOURAGE ALL WHO ARE COURAGEOUS AND BOLD ENOUGH TO STAND AGAINST THIS EVIL. THIS IS LITERALLY SYSTEMIC SEXUAL HARASSMENT. AND IF IN THE WORKPLACE THERE WOULDN'T THE VERY LEAST BE A LAWSUIT? THIS WAS MENTALLY AND EMOTIONALLY TRAUMATIC FOR THIS CHILD AND THIS CHILD SHOULD NEVER BEEN PUT IN THIS POSITION. ANY RATIONAL ADULT WOULD UNDERSTAND THAT CONSIDERING THAT EVERY ONE OF US HAS EXPERIENCED THAT AGE OF PUBERTY AND HOW DIFFICULT THAT IS, EVEN IN SAFE AND NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES. UNFORTUNATELY OUR CHILDREN THE MOST VULNERABLE OF OUR SOCIETY, ARE THE MOST TARGETED AND THE ONES PROMOTING THIS OR THE ADULTS IN THE SCHOOL SYSTEM SO THAT OUR CHILDREN ARE UNPROTECTED AND WHAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A SAFE ENVIRONMENT. WE NEED TO HAVE COMPASSION AND GIVE HELP TO THOSE CHILDREN THINKING THEY ARE WHAT THEY ARE. NOT IF THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE BIRDS, AND WE PROMOTED THAT FANTASY. THEY WOULD BE IN DANGER OF TRYING TO FLY OFF A BUILDING BELIEVING THEY'RE THE OPPOSITE SEX IS JUST AS DAMAGING TO THEIR EMOTIONAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL BEING AS WELL AS TO THEIR PEERS WERE BEING TAUGHT NOT TO BELIEVE THEIR EYES AND EARS ANYMORE. THE ADULTS WHO ARE ALLOWING THIS, IN ADDITION HAVE NO REASON TO STOP BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT. THERE HAVE NOT BEEN ANY CONSEQUENCES FOR THIS DANGEROUS AND HARASSING BEHAVIOR BEING ALLOWED. THE BOARD'S ANSWER TO MR CASTLE'S PROTESTS IS THAT THERE'S NO DISCIPLINARY CONSEQUENCE TO THIS BEHAVIOR, NOR WILL THERE BEGINNING DISCIPLINARY ACTION RELATING TO THE SITUATION. THE BOARD TALKED ABOUT NON DISCRIMINATION AGAINST TRANSGENDER OR GENDER, NOT CONFORMING STUDENTS AND OFFERING THEM RESPECT, SAFETY AND COMFORT. WHAT ABOUT THIS RESPECT , SAFETY AND COMFORT OF THE MAJORITY OF STUDENTS WHO ARE NOT IN THESE GROUPS? AND WHY IS IT AS THE BOARD SUGGESTS UP TO A CHILD TO TELL THE ADULTS IN THE SITUATION OF HIS OR HER NATURAL DISCOMFORT AND DISROBING IN FRONT OF THE OPPOSITE SEX? ISN'T THAT A KNOWN FACT IT SOUNDS LIKE THE RESPECT SAFETY AND COMFORT GOES TO A SPECIAL GROUP. IS THAT NOT DISCRIMINATION? PSALM 11 7 FOR THE LORD IS RIGHTEOUS. HE LOVES JUSTICE. THE UPRIGHT WILL SEE HIS FACE. GOD BLESS YOU ALL WITH WISDOM AND COURAGE TO STAND FOR GOD AND FOR THESE LITTLE ONES.

GOOD EVENING BOARD. UH, DR BAUER. WOW I HAVE TO CHANGE WHAT I WAS GOING TO SPEAK ABOUT TONIGHT JUST TO PUSH BACK ON SOME OF THE INFORMATION YOU SAID, LET'S GO WITH FACTS. THE BUOYANT SKIRT. COMMITTED A RAPE, SEXUAL ASSAULT. FACT FACT HE WAS TRANSFERRED AND THIS WAS HIDDEN

[00:40:02]

TO ANOTHER SCHOOL WHERE HE DID IT AGAIN FACT. THE BOY HAS BEEN SENTENCED FACT BECAUSE HE WAS GUILTY. AND TO THIS DAY NOW OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR THE STATE OF MARYLAND. IS INVESTIGATING SEXUAL ASSAULTS TAKING PLACE IN LOUDON COUNTY. ACTUALLY, IT'S IRONIC, BECAUSE IT'S KIND OF DOVETAILS INTO THE MEAT OF WHAT I WANTED TO TALK TO TODAY. JUST RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS AND THE PARENTS. AND IT'S OBVIOUSLY IT'S STRESSED, AND BUT AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO TO FIX IT. BUT DR BOWERS, THE OPINION YOU SHARED AND THE TRASH THAT WHATEVER IT IS, THE NEW YORK TIMES IS PUTTING OUT IT'S NOT RIGHT. MEANWHILE THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE HAS PUT OUT A LOT OF MEMOS OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST YEAR THAT IT MADE A LOT OF PRESS. BUT WE KNOW THAT THERE'S ONE MEMO THAT THAT REALLY CAUGHT MY ATTENTION, THOUGH IT'S DATED FOUR OCTOBER OF LAST YEAR, AND IT'S UH IT ADDRESSES IT'S TITLED VIOLENT THREATS AGAINST SCHOOL OFFICIALS AND TEACHERS AND IT READS. IN PART, THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT WILL ALSO CREATE SPECIALIZED TRAINING AND GUIDANCE FOR LOCAL SCHOOL BOARDS AND SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS. THIS TRAINING WILL HELP SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS AND OTHER POTENTIAL VICTIMS. UNDERSTAND THE TYPES OF BEHAVIOR THAT CONSTITUTES, UH, THAT CONSTITUTES A THREAT. DO YOU CONSIDER ME A THREAT? DO YOU CONSIDER THE PEOPLE IN THIS ROOM A THREAT? AND YOU KNOW, A THREAT IS NOT A ONE WAY STREET. IF THE SCHOOL BOARD FEELS THAT IN SOME WAY WE MAY CAUSE SOME STRANGE HARM TO YOU. IT'S NOT A ONE WAY STREET. I FEEL THREATENED. I FEEL THREATENED BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE I DON'T FEEL LIKE I KNOW THAT YOU ARE ATTACKING OUR FAMILY VALUES. I KNOW THAT YOU ARE ATTEMPTING TO PERVERT THE MINDS OF OUR CHILDREN. AND THEN, FURTHERMORE, YOU DOUBLE DOWN BY BRINGING IN A HATE FILLED, VENOMOUS ORGANIZATION, LIKE BLACK LIVES MATTER TO SHARE IT TO SHARE THIS INFORMATION THIS ORGANIZATION. WHY DO I FEEL THREATENED ON THIS BECAUSE THEY HAVE A HISTORY OF GOING AFTER PEOPLE WHO OPPOSE THEM LIKE I DO? I GUESS WHAT? I DON'T NEED A MEMO FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE TO IDENTIFY A THREAT WHEN I SEE IT. SO OKAY, WE'LL JUST GO AHEAD AND BRING IT ON.

BUT THAT YOU WOULD BRING THIS IN JUST JUST FOR THE FOR THE EDIFICATION OF THE AUDIENCE.

PEOPLE WHO AREN'T SO SURE ABOUT BLACK LIVES MATTER SOME OF THEIR MARCHING CHAMPS PIGS IN A BLANKET FRY THEM LIKE BACON. WHAT DO YOU WANT? DEAD COPS? WHEN DO YOU WANT THEM NOW? IRONIC. I WONDER HOW THE DEPUTIES IN THE BACK OF THE ROOM RIGHT THERE FEEL KNOWING. THESE DEPUTIES THAT YOU HAVE BACK THERE PROTECTING YOU FROM US. HOW DO THEY FEEL, KNOWING THAT YOU ASSOCIATE YOURSELF WITH ORGANIZATIONS AND GROUPS? THAT WOULD DESTROY THEM. GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY HONOR DUTY RESPECT WILL GO A LONG WAY FOR YOU ALL TO LEARN. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

MADAM PRESIDENT. THAT'S ALL THAT IN PERSON SPEAKERS THIS EVENING . ALRIGHTY MISS LATER. WOULD YOU LIKE TO START THE VIRTUAL SPEAKERS? GOOD EVENING. THANK YOU, PRESIDENT GAUTIER. AH GOOD EVENING.

NOW. JILL FERRARA. ON JUNE 22ND 2021, THE U. S DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION ISSUED AN INTERPRETATION OF TITLE NINE IN LIGHT OF THE SUPREME COURT DECISION IN BOTH STOCKS VERSUS CLAYTON COUNTY. THIS WAS A TITLE SEVEN. OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1964 KEYS, WHICH PROHIBITS EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION BECAUSE OF AN INDIVIDUAL'S RACE , COLOR, RELIGION, SECT OR NATIONAL ORIGIN AND HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH EDUCATION OR SEX SEGREGATED FACILITIES. JUSTICE ALITO DEFENSE ALONG WITH JUSTICE THOMAS STATE TITLE SEVEN OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1964 PROHIBITS EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION ON ANY OF THE SIDE BY GROUNDS AGAIN. RACE COLOR, RELIGION, SEX AND NATIONAL ORIGIN, NEITHER SEXUAL ORIENTATION OR GENDER IDENTITY APPEARS ON THAT LIST. NOR WAS IT CONSIDERED A CONCEPT OF DISCRIMINATION AS HE EXPRESSED GENDER IDENTITY WITH A CONCEPT THAT WAS ESSENTIALLY UNKNOWN. AT THE TIME. WELL THIS WAS A VICTORY FOR EMPLOYMENT PURPOSES , THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION UNLAWFULLY USED THIS TO ALLOW THEIR INTERPRETATION AND GET EXTRA RIGHT TO A POPULATION TO FURTHER THEIR AGENDA. MOVING ON TO M MAYBE VERSUS TALBOT COUNTY , THE FEDERAL CIRCUIT COURT. CLEAN GENDER IDENTITY IS PROTECTED BY FEDERAL LAW, WHICH IS FALSE AS STATED BY JUSTICE ALITO, THOMAS AND KAVANAUGH THE FACT WHICH TEETH UNDER THE CONSTITUTION'S SEPARATION OF POWERS THE RESPONSIBILITY TO AMEND TITLE SEVEN, AS WELL AS TITLE NINE, BELONGS TO CONGRESS AND THE PRESIDENT IN THE LEGISLATIVE PROCESS, NOT THE COURT. CONGRESS HAS HAD SEVERAL OPPORTUNITIES TO AMEND TITLE.

SEVEN AS WELL AS NINE BUT NO SUCH AMENDMENT HAS BEEN ENACTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS IN THE CONSTITUTION BASED OFF OF INTERPRETATION, NOT LAW. IT'S CPS HAS ALLOWED STUDENTS OF THE OPPOSITE SELF ACCESS TO SEX SEGREGATED FACILITIES, ALLOWING FOR THE EMBARRASSMENT, HUMILIATION AND MENTAL ANGUISH OF THE MAJORITY OF STUDENTS WHO HAVE A RIGHT TO PRIVACY AND MODESTY WHILE GIVING EXTRA RIGHTS NOT EQUAL RIGHTS TO A MINORITY CLASS OF STUDENTS.

FINALLY IN THE RULINGS I MENTIONED IT SHOULD BE KNOWN THAT IN BOTH CASES WHERE THE RULING WAS IN FAVOR OF NON DISCRIMINATION BASED ON GENDER IDENTITY, BOTH PLAINTIFFS HAD A CLINICAL DIAGNOSIS OF GENDER DYSPHORIA. UNLIKE THE GUIDANCE DPS HAS PROVIDED THAT MERELY STATING YOUR TRANSGENDER IS SUFFICIENT, SO I MUST ASK HOW HCPS PLANS TO REGULATE THIS POLICY. TO ENSURE THE SAFETY, HEALTH AND WELL BEING OF MALE AND FEMALE STUDENTS AND PROVIDE A TRUSTWORTHY ENVIRONMENT WHERE STUDENTS AND PARENTS DON'T FEEL THREATENED, CONFIDING IN SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS REGARDING THEIR DISCOMFORT. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING. YOU ARE NOW IN THE BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING BEFORE YOU BEGIN YOUR PUBLIC COMMENT, PLEASE STATE YOUR FIRST AND LAST NAME. YOUR TIME WILL CONCLUDE IN THREE MINUTES. YOU WILL HEAR A BELL RING WHEN YOU HAVE 30 SECONDS REMAINING, PLEASE INTRODUCE YOURSELF AND YOU MAY BEGIN YOUR PUBLIC COMMENT NOW. GOOD EVENING.
