[E. Presentation on Stop Arm Camera Enforcement Program , Mr. Cornell Brown, Assistant Superintendent for Operations,Ms. Cathy Bendis, Director of Transportation, and Mr. Erik Robey, Harford County Sheriff's Office Director ofLegislative and Community Affairs Harford County Public Schools and Harford County Sheriff's Office Stop Arm Camera Enforcement Presentation]

O'CLOCK. THANK YOU. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THIS TRANSITION BECAUSE NEXT IS THE PRESENTATION ON START ARM CAMERA ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM. THANK YOU FOR COMING. WOULDN'T BE GOOD. I'LL DO IT BEFORE THE NEXT ONE. SORRY.

DON'T YOU DO AND IN YOUR. INVOLVED IN MY NAME IS CORNELL BROWN. I'M JUST SECOND SUPERINTENDENT. ALRIGHT, DIRECTOR OF TRANSPORTATION AND MR ERIC BROKE. THE DIRECTOR. THE BEARS. PERFECT COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE. THAT YOU'RE AWARE OF. WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE. IMPLEMENT OR. I WAS AWARE HERE THIS EVENING JUST PRESENTATION. OKAY. SORRY.

YEAH. WE'RE HERE TO GIVE A PRESENTATION TO THE BOARD AND TO THE COMMUNITY ON THIS INITIATIVE THAT THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE ROLLED OUT LAST MONTH. UM WE HAD GIVEN A PRESENTATION TO THE COUNTY COUNCIL. UM AND WE JUST THOUGHT IT WOULD BE IN THE BEST INTEREST OF OUR COMMUNITY TO COME BEFORE OUR BOARD TO, YOU KNOW, SHARE THE INFORMATION WITH YOU AND ALLOW THE BOARD TO ASK US ANY QUESTIONS. SO WITH THAT, I'D LIKE TO TURN IT OVER TO MR BENDER'S AND MR ROBIE, AND THEN THEY'LL JUST WALK US THROUGH THIS EVENING'S PRESENTATION AND AGAIN WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS. GREAT THANK YOU VERY MUCH. DOCTOR BROWN. THANK YOU. SCHOOL BOARD. SUPERINTENDENT WILSON. GOOD TO SEE YOU, UM SO WE CAN GO AHEAD TO THE FIRST SLIDE, AND WE'LL JUST JUMP RIGHT INTO THIS FIRST. LET ME JUST SAY ON BEHALF OF SHERIFF GAYLOR AND ALL THE MEN AND WOMEN FROM THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE. THIS IS EXCITING PARTNERSHIP TO HAVE WITH THE SCHOOL SYSTEM. THIS IS ONE WHERE YOU KNOW OUR FOLKS ARE OUT. THERE ARE TRAFFIC UNITS OUT THERE DAILY DOING ENFORCEMENT DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR FOLLOWING SCHOOL BUSSES, MAKING SURE THAT OUR KIDS ARE SAFE. IS THERE ON THEIR WAY TO AND FROM SCHOOL. SO PRETTY SIMPLE TO PURPOSES. YOU KNOW, WE WANT TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE PASSING SCHOOL BUSSES TO KEEP OUR KIDS SAFE AND GET THE NEXT SLIDE. KIND OF TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BACKGROUND ON HOW THIS STARTED IN 2014. THE COUNTY COUNCIL ACTUALLY PASS LEGISLATION. THIS WAS AFTER THE STATE PASSED LEGISLATION IN 2011 , GIVING THE ABILITY FOR LOCAL JURISDICTIONS TO ENACT AUTOMATED ENFORCEMENT PROGRAMS UTILIZING SCHOOL BUS STOP ARM CAMERAS, SO THE COUNTY COUNCIL PASSED 14 30 THAT GAVE THE SHERIFF THE AUTHORITY TO SET UP A PROGRAM HERE IN HARTFORD COUNTY. WHAT WE DID IS WE GOT A COMMITTEE OF TRAFFIC SAFETY ADVISORY BOARD COMMITTEE, WHICH MISS BENDIS MYSELF AND A NUMBER OF MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENT . THE SCHOOL BUS CONTRACTORS, FOLKS FROM THE MARYLAND DEPARTMENT TRANSPORTATION, THE COUNTY DPW. ALL OF THESE INDIVIDUALS SIT ON THAT COMMITTEE AND WHAT WE DID IS WE SPENT A WHILE RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE, TALKING TO DIFFERENT VENDORS. AND THEN IN 2008, WE PUT SOME RECOMMENDATIONS FORWARD AND BEGAN BEGAN THE PROCESS OF

[01:35:02]

LOOKING TO FIND A VENDOR TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS PROGRAM. WE WENT AHEAD AND DID THAT IN 2019 WITH A COMPANY CALLED BUS PATROL. THEY PLAYED. THEY PLACE CAMERAS ON 10 BUSSES HERE IN THE COUNTY, AND WE CERTAINLY SAW THAT THERE WAS A NEED, UM AND NEED FOR THIS PROGRAM AND A NEED TO HAVE THIS AUTOMATED ENFORCEMENT TOOL UP HERE WITH US . UNFORTUNATELY, BUS PATROL COULD NOT MEET SOME OF OUR NEEDS . WE HAD SOME CHALLENGES WITH THIS VENDOR, SO WE WENT AHEAD AND WENT WITH ANOTHER VENDOR CALLED ANGEL TRACKS THEY INSTALLED THOSE CAMERAS ACTUALLY DID THAT. A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO. ALL THOSE CAMERAS WERE PUT ON PROGRAM WENT LIVE ON FEBRUARY 15TH, AND WE'VE BEEN WE'VE NOTICED QUITE A FEW VIOLATIONS IN THE FIRST MONTH AND A HALF OF THE PROGRAM. MHM. CAPITAL TURNOVER SO MUCH SO WE ACTUALLY HAVE 100 BUSSES THAT ARE OUTFITTED AT NO COST TO HCPS OR HARFORD COUNTY. YOU HAVE THAT INFORMATION IN THE EXHIBIT, SO WAS PROVIDED TO YOU. AND ESSENTIALLY, THIS IS A PICTURE OF WHAT THAT ACTUAL CAMERA SYSTEM LOOKS LIKE. SO AGAIN. THOSE ARE ON 100 BUSSES. THOSE BUSSES WERE SELECTED BASED ON STOP ARM DATA, WHERE REQUIRED TO DO A NATIONAL STAFF ARMED REPORT ONCE EACH YEAR. UM AND THAT IS HOW WE SELECTED THE BUSSES TO TRY TO ENSURE THAT THOSE THAT WERE REPORTING THE HIGHEST VIOLATIONS RECEIVED THOSE CAMERA SYSTEMS. UM WHAT HAPPENS WITH THIS IS THAT THE MOTORIST? IS IT FOUND IN VIOLATION? THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE ACTUALLY REVIEWS ALL OF THOSE CITATIONS.

THEY DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT IT WAS A VIOLATION OR NOT BASED ON , UM WHAT THE VIDEO FEED REVEALED, AND I'LL SHOW YOU AN EXAMPLE OF THAT IN A SECOND. UM AND THEN THE VENDOR ACTUALLY GOES AHEAD AND MALES THOSE CITATIONS OUT TO VIOLATORS ONCE THAT HAS BEEN APPROVED. AND YOU'LL NOTICE IN THE EXHIBIT THAT WAS PROVIDED TO YOU THAT IT IS A 50 50 SPLIT BETWEEN THE VENDOR UM AND HARFORD COUNTY GOVERNMENT, UM, FOR ANY CITATION THAT IS RECEIVED THAT DOES PAY FOR THE POSITION WITHIN HARFORD COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE TO COMPLETE THE CITATIONS BECAUSE THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A POSITION THAT IS REQUIRED TO FULFILL THOSE VIOLATIONS. AND THEN ANY ADDITIONAL FUNDS WOULD BE PUT INTO AN ACCOUNT THAT WOULD BE DISTRIBUTED FOR ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS THAT MAY BE MADE FOR SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS FROM THE TRAFFIC SAFETY ADVISORY BOARD.

HERE IS A SAMPLE OF ACTUALLY ONE OF THE VIOLATIONS THAT WAS SEEN ON OLD PHILADELPHIA ROAD ON THE VERY FIRST DAY THAT THE SYSTEM WENT LIVE. UM SO YOU CAN SEE THIS ACTUALLY IN ACTION, AND I'M HOPING THIS IS GOING TO WORK WHEN I CLICKED. THERE IT GOES. THERE IT GOES. SO IT IS SOMEWHAT SHOCKING, UM, THAT WE CONTINUE TO HAVE MOTORISTS THAT ARE ACTUALLY PASSING OUR BUSSES. UM WE CURRENTLY ARE AT ABOUT 340 CITATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN APPROVED AND THEN ISSUED. UM SO AGAIN. THE NUMBER STAGGERING IN THE HOPE IS REALLY TO REDUCE THAT WITH BRINGING AWARENESS THROUGH THIS PROGRAM. UM I DO WANT TO MENTION THE GREAT PARTNERS WE HAVE FOR SAFETY SHERIFF GAYLOR AND THE TRAFFIC UNIT IN PARTICULAR. I HAVE JUST BEEN SUCH A GREAT PARTNER IN GETTING THIS PROGRAM OFTEN RUNNING. IT HAS TAKEN A LITTLE BIT OF TIME. BUT THE COMMITMENT TO SAFETY OF OUR STUDENTS, UM, ALWAYS AT THE FOREFRONT, AND WE GREATLY APPRECIATE THAT.

MARYLAND STATE POLICE ARE ALSO ONE OF OUR PARTNERS IN SOME OF OUR BUSSES DO TRAVEL ON STATE ROAD WAYS. AND THEN AGAIN, THE TRAFFIC SAFETY ADVISORY BOARD HAS SPENT A LOT OF TIME MAKING RECOMMENDATIONS AND WAS A GREAT PARTNER IN THIS EFFORT, AS WELL AS THE HARFORD COUNTY SCHOOL BUS CONTRACTORS ASSOCIATION. SEVERAL OF THE CAMERAS ARE ON THEIR BUS. SAYS AND THEY AGAIN ASSISTED US IN GETTING THOSE ON THOSE ON THEIR BUSSES. UM ONE OF THE GREAT THINGS ABOUT THIS. NOT ONLY ARE WE GOING TO BE ABLE TO ENSURE THAT THERE IS AN AWARENESS AND THEN THE CITATIONS ARE GOING OUT, BUT WE CAN ACTUALLY PULL REPORTS TO REALLY PINPOINT AREAS WHERE WE MAY NEED ADDITIONAL TARGETED LAW ENFORCEMENT ACTION. UM, SO IF AN OFFICER ACTUALLY, UM, OBSERVES SOMEONE VIOLATING THE SCHOOL BUS IN ACTION, THAT IS NOT, UM THE FINE AMOUNT THAT IT WOULD BE IF IT IS A CAMERA ENFORCEMENT. SO WE CAN ACTUALLY PINPOINT AREAS WHERE WE MAY REQUEST FROM THE HARTFORD COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE, THE TRAFFIC UNIT TO COME OUT AND ACTUALLY WRITE TICKETS, AND THIS IS GOING TO BE A MUCH BETTER USE OF RESOURCES FOR, UM YOU KNOW, THEY'RE STANDPOINT, WE CAN GIVE THEM ADDRESSES, EXACT LOCATION AND TIME OF DAY. AND THAT'S REALLY IT. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? EDITORIALIZED FOR SECONDS. UM. YOU GUYS DID A NICE JOB OF AVOIDING THE POLITICS OF THIS GONNA BRING IT UP. SO ON THURSDAY AT ONE O'CLOCK AND THE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE IN THE SENATE THE SAME TIME THAT HOSPITAL 19 BEING HEARD IN DIFFERENT COMMITTEE. THERE IS. BILL HEARING ON HOUSE BILL 8 49. WHICH, UM. I BELIEVE IF IT PASSES, IT WILL PRETTY MUCH DESTROYED THIS PILOT BECAUSE WE THINK IF IT PASSES MY UNDERSTANDING, AND YOU GUYS CAN CORRECT ME, MR ROBY MAYBE HAVE BETTER CLARITY ON THIS, BUT IF

[01:40:04]

IT PASSES, IT WOULD MAKE THE FIRST VIOLATION FOR ANYONE A WARNING AND MANDATORY. THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE A WARNING AND BECAUSE THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF THESE ARE FIRST VIOLATIONS UM, THE FEAR IS THE VENDORS WHO PROVIDE THE CAMERAS FOR FREE AND THEY OBVIOUSLY MAKE MONEY. WE UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT THEIR INCENTIVE BEING IN THIS BUSINESS IS TO MAKE IT VIABLE.

AND IF THE LAW PASSES AND THEY'RE REQUIRED TO GIVE WARNINGS ON THE FIRST VIOLATION IS VERY LIKELY THAT UP A PROGRAM LIKE THIS WOULDN'T BE VIABLE FOR THOSE PRIVATE PROVIDERS. UM THAT MEANING THAT WE BELIEVE IF IT WERE TO PASS THAT THIS PILOT WOULD PROBABLY BE DIFFICULT TO SUSTAIN IF THE COMPANY IS NOT WILLING TO STAY IN WITH US BECAUSE THE SCHOOL SYSTEM MAKES NO MONEY ON THIS. WE'RE NOT TRYING TO, YOU KNOW, THERE'S NO BENEFIT TO US ADVANCING IT. SO ANYWAY, THAT BILL IS BEING HEARD. ONE PM PRODUCER COMMITTEE , THE SENATE HOUSE BILL 8 49.

AND IF YOU WANT TO EXPAND ON THAT A LITTLE, YOU KNOW, I THINK YOU YOU BRING UP A LOT OF VALID POINTS. I KNEW THAT A NUMBER OF MEMBERS THAT I SPOKE WITH IN THE HOUSE AND THE SENATE. THEY ARE, SIR. ONLY AWARE OF THAT. UM I KNOW CERTAINLY THAT SMALLER COUNTIES SOME OF OUR MORE RURAL COUNTIES, EASTERN SHORE, WESTERN MARYLAND THAT HAD THESE PROGRAMS ARE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THAT LEGISLATION BECAUSE I THINK THAT THOSE VENDORS CERTAINLY WOULD NOT SEE, UM, BUT WOULD PROBABLY LOSE MONEY IF THEY HAVE TO ISSUE A WARNING FOR THE FIRST DEFENSE FOR EVERYBODY, BUT WE'RE STILL WE'RE STILL HOPEFUL THAT SOME AMENDMENTS WILL BE PUT ON THAT. I THINK THE ORIGINAL LEGISLATION WAS BROUGHT UP BY BY A DELEGATE FROM MONTGOMERY COUNTY, AND THE ISSUE THEY WERE TRYING TO ADDRESS WAS A CERTAIN PORTION OF THEIR DISTRICT. AND I THINK IT HAS A REALIZED QUICKLY THAT THEY HAD TO MAKE THIS A STATE WALL, SO I KNOW IT DID GET OUT OF THE HOUSE, BUT WE'LL SEE. YOU KNOW, I'D LIKE TO SAY THE SENATE'S KIND OF THE MORE EDUCATED CHAMBER AND WE'RE FINE WITH CERTAIN AMENDMENTS, AS LONG AS HE'S PILOTS REMAIN BUYABLE BECAUSE I MEAN IT'S CLEAR THE SAFETY ISSUE WE'RE DEALING WITH. AND I'D I'D HATE TO SEE THIS GO AWAY. THANK YOU. MIGHT JUST TOUCH ON THE HOUSE BILL. UM MY UNDERSTANDING IS IT'S ONLY A SPECIFIC VIOLATION THAT WOULD WARRANT THAT FIRST OFFENSE. WE DO NOT HAVE AS MANY, UM FOR LANE UNDIVIDED HIGHWAYS WHERE TRAFFIC IS COMING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION, WHICH IS WHAT WAS PRESENTED, ALTHOUGH WE ARE VERY CONCERNED WITH ANYTHING THAT WOULD BE PUT THROUGH THAT WOULD POTENTIALLY JEOPARDIZE STUDENT SAFETY, PARTICULARLY EVEN IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS. WE WANT THE FOCUS TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE ARE STOPPING FOR THE SCHOOL BUS. UM SO I DON'T REMEMBER. THANK YOU. THANKS FOR THE PRESENTATION. UM SO WHEN WE'RE TRACKING THE OFFENSES, ARE WE PAYING ATTENTION TO SECOND OFFENSES THERE? I KNOW IT'S ONLY BEEN 30 DAYS. BUT IS THERE A PLAN? TWO IF THIS SOMEBODY IT'S 1 25 PER FOR VIOLATION, IT'S GONNA BE 1 25 PER SECOND VIOLATION. BUT ARE WE TRACKING THOSE 2ND AND 3RD VIOLATIONS? SO WE WILL BE BRINGING A UM, ANOTHER EMPLOYEE AT THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE ONLINE BEGINNING JULY ONE. ONCE WE START TO SEE REVENUE COME IN FROM FROM THE PROGRAM. UM SO THAT WILL BE PART OF THAT EMPLOYEES WILL BE PART OF THAT EMPLOYEE'S RESPONSIBILITY. YOU COULD TRACK IT IF YOU CORRECT WILL BE ABLE TO WILL BE ABLE TO DO A LOT WITH IT, DAD. I THINK IT'S UH, DIRECTOR VENDORS SAID THEY WILL CERTAINLY BE ABLE TO.

THEY HAVE MAPPING TECHNOLOGY SO WE CAN SEE THAT ONLY CAN WE SEE HOW MANY TIMES PEOPLE ARE OFFENDED, BUT WE CAN SEE THE AREAS OF THE COUNTY WHERE WE'RE SEEING THE LARGEST NUMBER OF VIOLATIONS SO THAT THAT'S CERTAINLY ONE THING WE DO AT THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE IS IT'S ALL ABOUT YOU KNOW IT, COMSTAT. WE'RE LOOKING AT DATA. SO WE'RE SAYING, YOU KNOW, OLD PHILADELPHIA ROAD AT THIS LOCATION THIS TIME OF DAY. WE'RE SEEING MULTIPLE DAYS WHERE WE'RE SEEING INDIVIDUALS RUNNING THE SCHOOL BUS. SO IS THIS AN ISSUE WHERE WE NEED TO HAVE YOU KNOW, DIRECTED PATROLS, SHERIFF'S OFFICE ENFORCEMENT, OR IS THIS A IS THIS AN ENGINEERING ISSUE IS THERE ARE SOME ISSUES WITH YOU KNOW SOME SITE SITE LIMITATIONS ON WHERE THAT BUSSES STOPPING THAT WE NEED TO WORK WITH DPW ENGINEERING OR STATE HIGHWAY OR TRANSPORTATION AND WHAT PERCENTAGE OF THE BUSSES HAVE THE CAMERAS ABOUT? 20% IS THERE A PANT PLAN TO EXPAND? WELL WE'LL BE REVIEWING THE DATA IN FEBRUARY. HOPEFULLY THE HOUSE BILL DOESN'T IMPACT WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO TO DR WILSON'S POINT, BUT WE WOULD BE LOOKING AT THIS POTENTIALLY TO EXPAND NEXT FEBRUARY IS WHAT WE'RE THINKING ONCE WE HAVE A YEAR FULLY UNDER OUR BELT, UM WITH THIS, SO YES, IT'S A GRADUAL EXPANSION. CORRECT AND I'M ASSUMING THEY WOULD BE WILLING TO UM, EXPANDED AT THE SAME RATE OR THEY'RE GONNA ARE WE GOING TO BE REQUIRED TO PURCHASE CAMERAS . WE WILL BE REVIEWING THAT WITH THEM, I HOPE WOULD BE THAT THEY WILL BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN YOU KNOW WHAT WE WOULD CURRENTLY BE DOING WHERE THERE'S NO COST, AND IT WOULD JUST BE A 50 50 SPLIT.

I THINK YOU SAID THERE WERE I DIDN'T GET THE 306 OR 340, I BELIEVE IS WHERE WE ARE APPROXIMATELY TO THIS POINT. AND SO THAT'S FIVE WEEKS. INTO IT. AND RIGHT THERE, YOU'RE ALMOST

[01:45:01]

EUR $40,000. SO IT'S AND THAT'S AT $125. SO UM, THAT TO ME. THE CITATION. IT'S I GUESS IT SEEMS LOW, BUT I CAN SEE WHERE POLITICALLY YOU DON'T WANT TO START IMPOSING FEES ON RESIDENTS, BUT SOME CHILD COULD BE KILLED. I MEAN, THAT'S IT SEEMS LOW. SO YOU'RE RIGHT. SO THE IF IT IS A POLICE OFFICER OR SHERIFF'S OFFICE DEPUTY THAT MAKES THAT STOP. I BELIEVE IT'S A $470. FINE IS THE MAX FIND THAT THAT THAT'S WRITTEN ON THAT CITATION. THE COURTS CAN CERTAINLY REDUCE THAT IF THEY SWEEP IT, UM SO THE STATE OF MARYLAND THE MAX, FOR AN AUTOMATED CITATION IS $250. HARFORD COUNTY, THE CODE AND HARVARD COUNTY SAYS WE'RE AT $125 HERE ACCOUNT. SO I GUESS THAT'S SOMETHING MOVING. TAKING A LOOK AT. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT IS BEING LOOKED AT. YES, THE BIG HOPE IS IT'S DIMINISHING RETURNS OVER CORRECT, GREAT STOPPING THE VIOLATORS. FAILED. HAD A LIST OF QUESTIONS. SO WHAT DIFFERENTIATES BETWEEN LIKE 1 25 VERSUS A 470 LIKE OBVIOUSLY A POLICE ACTUAL OFFICER BEARING WITNESS, BUT WHAT'S GOING TO WHAT IS IT IF THEY SPEED UP LIKE, HOW DO WE DECIDE OR IS IT JUST HAD THAT OFFICERS FEEL LIKE WHAT'S THE SO UNDER STATE LAW? THERE'S THE AUTOMATED ENFORCEMENT, WHICH IS THE SCHOOL BUS STOP ARM CAMERA, SO THAT'S THE VIDEO, ACTUALLY CATCHING THE VIOLATOR RUNNING THAT STOP ARM.

AND THEN THERE'S THE ACTUAL DEPUTY OR THE OFFICER THAT'S OUT THERE IN THE FIELD. WHEN THEY MAKE THAT STOP, THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO ISSUE THAT HIGHER CITATION. THE AUTOMATED CITATION ISN'T AS HIGH KIND OF THE SAME WAY WITH SPEEDING TICKETS IF YOU'RE IN THE SCHOOL ZONE UM OKAY. DOES THIS SITE THANK YOU. DOES THIS CITATION GOAT OUTFITTING MORE BUSSES LIKE IF YOU GET THERE LIKE BEING SAID $44,000 HAVE BEEN COLLECTED NOW FROM THE FINES. WHERE IS THAT IS PRETTY CLEAR IN WHAT WE CAN USE THAT MONEY FOR SO THE MONEY WILL GO INTO THE COUNTY GENERAL FUND.

UM BUT THAT ITS SPECIFIC ON WHAT THAT CAN BE USED FOR THE WALL. PRETTY MUCH SAYS IT'S USED FOR MAINTENANCE ON THE CAMERA SYSTEMS FOR THE BUSSES. IT'S USED FOR PERSONNEL. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE USING FOR THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE TO HIRE PERSONNEL TO ACTUALLY ADMINISTER THE PROGRAM REVIEW ALL THE CITATIONS. PREPARE THE DOCKET. GO TO COURT, UM AND THEN OTHER PEDESTRIAN SAFETY PROJECTS. OKAY THANK YOU . THAT WASN'T A LONG LIST. WELL YOU HIT MY OTHER QUESTION ABOUT UPDATES AND ALL THAT JUNK. SO THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME. DR PHILLIPS. UM I THOUGHT IT WAS KIND OF IRONIC THAT THE BUS PATROL PROGRAM WAS STOPPED BECAUSE OF ISSUES WITH POLICING FOR PROFIT, WHICH IS BASICALLY THE SAME THING AS SPEED CAMERAS AND RED LIGHT CAMERAS TO BE QUITE HONEST WITH YOU BECAUSE THEY REALLY DON'T IDENTIFY A PERSON. THEY JUST IDENTIFIED A VEHICLE. UM BUT I THINK THE POINT THAT WE NEED TO MAKE ONE OF THIS IF WE ALL YOU ALL GET A CHANCE TO TESTIFY IN THE IN THE SENATE ON WEDNESDAY IS THAT THIS IS FOR CHILD SAFETY. THAT WE CAN'T LET THAT BE TAKEN AWAY FROM FROM THE MAIN THEME OF THIS IS NOT FOR ANYBODY'S PROFIT OF THE MONEY THAT'S GOING RIGHT BACK INTO ENFORCING THE PROGRAM. UM AND, UH, I THINK IF WE KIND OF KEEP THAT AT THE FOREFRONT IT WILL HAVE A LITTLE BETTER. OPPORTUNITY TO DO NOT FAIL. IN THE SENATE, KEEP OUR FINGERS CROSSED. ARE THERE PLANS TO TESTIFY? UM AS IT STANDS NOW, WE ARE NOT SHERIFF'S HARVEY COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE IS NOT GOING IS NOT TAKING A POSITION ON THIS. I CAN TELL YOU. IT HASN'T BEEN A DISCUSSION OF THE DIRECTORS GROUP. UM AND THERE HAS BEEN SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT POTENTIALLY TESTIFYING ON WEDNESDAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. I THINK IT'S A GREAT PROGRAM. APPRECIATE IT.

APPRECIATE YOU KEEPING YOUR KIDS SAFE. THANK YOU. OKAY WE ARE GOING TO TAKE A 10 MINUTE BREAK.

APPRECIATE IT WILL BE BACK HERE . UM, 25 AFTER.

PRESENTATION OF HARFORD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS. ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE REVIEW FOR 2021 22 MS HEATHER CULTURE AND HER TEAM.

THAT'S A PRETTY GOOD SIZED TEAM , AND I COULD GO DOWN THE NAMES. I LIKE IT. IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU ALL. THANK YOU. AGAIN. GOOD EVENING BOARD PRESIDENT MUELLER , VICE PRESIDENT SEWELL, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD SUPERINTENDENT WILSON, OUR DIRECTOR OF CURRICULUM, INSTRUCTION AND ASSESSMENT, AND EVEN ZOLI. AND I ARE HERE THIS EVENING WITH MEMBERS OF OUR TEAM TO SHARE STUDENT PERFORMANCE DATA FROM THE 21 22 SCHOOL YEAR, AS WELL AS AN OVERVIEW OF SOME OF THE WAYS THAT FOUR OF OUR CONTENT OFFICE'S SUPPORT THE INSTRUCTIONAL PRACTICES OF TEACHERS SO THEY CAN MOVE STUDENTS TOWARDS CONTENT MASTERY OF THE STANDARDS ASSESSED BY STATE TESTS. THIS PRESENTATION IS BY NO MEANS EXHAUSTIVE OF THE STUDENT PERFORMANCE DATA GATHERED DURING THE PREVIOUS SCHOOL YEAR NOR EXHAUSTED EXHAUSTIVE OF THE VARIOUS INDIVIDUALS AND TEAMS ACROSS THE DISTRICT AND THE COMMUNITY WHO ARE WORKING TO BUILD ADULTS CAPACITY TO ANALYZE PERFORMANCE DATA, AND IT JUST PRACTICES TO INCREASE THOSE RESULTS. RATHER THIS PRESENTATION WILL PROVIDE PERCENTAGES RELATED TO SPECIFIC STATE ASSESSMENTS FOR ALL HCPS STUDENTS WHO TOOK THAT ASSESSMENT LAST YEAR AND COMPARE THOSE NUMBERS TO OTHER DISTRICTS THAT MARY HCPS IN TERMS OF STUDENT POPULATIONS. OUR SUPERVISOR OF ACCOUNTABILITY FILL SNYDER WILL PROVIDE THE NUMBERS FOR US AND THEN OUR SUPERVISOR OF READING ENGLISH AND LANGUAGE ARTS, CHRIS SCARY. SUPERVISOR OF MATHEMATICS, JOANNE MCCORD. ACTING SUPERVISOR OF SCIENCE, HOWARD EAKES. AND OUR SUPERVISOR, SOCIAL SCIENCES, ERIN LANG. WE'LL SHARE SOME OF THE WAYS THEY WORK WITH THE TEACHERS IN THEIR CONTENT AREAS TO SUPPORT AND GROW THEIR TEACHING. MR SNYDER. GOOD EVENING BOARD MEMBERS AND I DO LOVE THESE PEOPLE HERE. I'M JUST TRYING TO KEEP MY GERMS AWAY FROM THEM. SO YOU MAY BE FAMILIAR ON THE MD REPORT CARD.

THIS IS THE RATING SYSTEM THAT IS USED IN THE STATE OF MARYLAND, AND THAT WOULD BE ALL PUBLIC SCHOOLS. TONIGHT IS WANTING TO GIVE YOU THE LINK TO THAT THAT IS ON THE MARYLAND REPORT CARD, AND THAT DATA CAME OUT FROM THE 21 22 SCHOOL YEAR. IT WAS DELAYED BECAUSE WE HAVE A NUMBER OF CHANGES IN THE ASSESSMENTS AND WE'RE GOING TO GET INTO THAT TONIGHT TO EXPLAIN ALL OF THE REASONS BUT YOU CAN SEE THE CHART THERE ON THE BOTTOM OF THE STAR RATINGS ONE THROUGH FIVE STARS AND HOW MANY SCHOOLS IN OUR PERCENTAGE, AND IF WE LOOK AT THE HIGH END WE HAVE 64% OF OUR SCHOOLS AND DRINK FOUR OR FIVE STARS. THIS IS THE M CAP ASSESSMENT, SO I'M CAP STANDS FOR MARYLAND COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT PROGRAM. THESE ARE ALL ARE REQUIRED STATE ASSESSMENTS AND I HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW. ANY CHANGE TO THE ASSESSMENT AND YOU CAN SEE THERE. E L. A IN MATH AND SCIENCE AND SOCIAL STUDIES AT GRADE EIGHT AND AS WELL AS GOVERNMENT GRADE NINE. WE HAVE MAJOR CHANGES FROM PREVIOUS ASSESSMENTS. SO THE REASON I HIGHLIGHTED THAT IS, AS WE LOOK AT PRIOR YEARS, WE HAVE TO USE CAUTION IN COMPARING ONE ASSESSMENT TO ANOTHER BECAUSE THEY ARE VERY DIFFERENT. HERE'S THE TIMELINE IN JUST BRIEFLY TO GO THROUGH IT IN THE 2013 14 SCHOOL YEAR. WE WERE UNDER THE PARK CONSORTIUM, WHICH ABOUT CATHOLICS. HALF OF THE COUNTRY WAS UNDER THAT, AND THERE WAS ANOTHER CONSORTIUM. AND THEN

[02:10:05]

THAT BASICALLY THAT CONSORTIUM WAS DISBANDED OVER TIME. IN THE 2019 AND 2020 SCHOOL YEARS. 2019 2020 21, OBVIOUSLY, WITH COVID. WE DID NOT HAVE ANY STATE TESTING. SO WHAT WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT TONIGHT IS THAT LAST GREEN BAR R M CAP TESTS THAT ARE GIVEN IN THE 21 22 SCHOOL YEAR.

I DO. EXCUSE ME. I DO WANT TO KEEP YOU AWARE OF SOME GRADUATION ASSESSMENT REQUIREMENTS COMING UP. IN THIS YEAR, AND IN PREVIOUS YEARS WE HAD ONLY STUDENTS NEEDED TO TAKE THE ASSESSMENT IN ORDER TO GRADUATE. PREVIOUSLY MANY YEARS AGO, STUDENTS HAD TO PASS THAT ASSESSMENT. THAT IS NOT THE CASE FOR THE NEXT SCHOOL YEAR. STUDENTS IN ALGEBRA ONE END ENGLISH 10 IN THOSE COURSES WILL TAKE THE ASSESSMENT AND THEN AGAIN, THEY ARE NOT REQUIRED TO PASS. STUDENTS TAKING BIOLOGY AND GOVERNMENT. THESE WOULD BE OUR NINTH GRADE STUDENTS. THERE IS A REGULATION NOW THAT THEY WILL TAKE THE STATE ASSESSMENT AS THE FINAL EXAM AND IT WILL COUNT AS 20% OF THEIR OVERALL COURSE. GRADE UM, THAT WAS DELAYED BY THE STATE DEPARTMENT ONE YEAR JUST TO GIVE SOME GUIDANCE AND TECHNICAL EXPERTISE TO SCHOOL SYSTEMS. UM, SO THAT WILL DEFINITELY BE ON BOARD FOR NEXT SCHOOL YEAR. THIS IS A RANKING OF WHERE WE PERFORM AGAINST ALL 24 PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEMS IN THE STATE OF MARYLAND . SO, FOR EXAMPLE, IF WE LOOK AT THE FIRST LINE IN GRADE THREE IN BOTH THE ELA AND MATHEMATICS WE RANKED EIGHTH OUT OF 24TH. AND IF WE WERE TO TAKE THE AVERAGE, WE'RE AVERAGING 10TH IN L, A AND ABOUT NINTH PLACE IN MATHEMATICS , AND I'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE MATHEMATICS COMPARISON THAT WE CANNOT MAKE.

IN SOME OF OUR CHARTS HERE. AND AT THIS POINT, I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO MR ONES. I LIKE TO TALK ABOUT SOME SUPPORT FOR OUR SCHOOLS. EVENING, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE NEXT PART OF OUR PRESENTATION WILL INCLUDE MR SNYDER SHARING ELEMENTARY, MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL DATA BY SUBJECT AREA AND AS MRS KUCHER PREVIOUSLY SHARED WITH YOU, EACH OF OUR CONTENT AREA SUPERVISORS WILL SHARE WITH YOU. THE SPECIFIC SCHOOL BASED SUPPORTS. THAT ARE OFFERED TO SCHOOLS THROUGHOUT OUR COUNTY TO HELP ADDRESS NEEDED AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT AND AREAS TO CELEBRATE IN TERMS OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS MADE YOU WILL HEAR, AND YOU WILL SEE VARIOUS COMPONENTS INCLUDE OVERLAP, SUCH AS THE EXCELLENT DEGREE OF SUPPORT THAT THESE FOLKS PROVIDE TO SCHOOLS WITH REGARD TO TEACHER EVALUATION, BE IT THROUGH THE FORMAL OBSERVATION PROCESS OR INFORMAL SCHOOL WALK THROUGHS. YOU WILL ALSO LEARN A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE COUNTYWIDE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT THAT IS PROVIDED IN SUPPORT OF OUR SCHOOLS. SUCH AS DEPARTMENT CHAIR MEETINGS, COUNTY WIDEN SERVICE DAYS DURING HER EARLY DISMISSAL DAYS AND THE LIKE, AND OUR SUPERVISORS WILL ALSO SHARE SPECIFICS RELATED TO THE NUANCES OF EACH CONTENT AREA. SO THAT'S SETTLED TO PASS IT BACK TO MR SNYDER, WHO WILL BEGIN WITH ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS. SO REQUIRED GRADE LEVELS. IS THAT WIN MARYLAND WE TEST STUDENTS IN GRADES THREE THROUGH 10, AND ALSO A GREAT TIME AT THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL. AND SO AGAIN AS WE LOOK AT THE DATA, LET'S JUST KEEP IN MIND THAT WE ARE COMPARING TO A PREVIOUS ASSESSMENT IN 2022 IS A DIFFERENT ASSESSMENT. UM, WE SCORED AT THE 50 TO 52% OF OUR STUDENTS SCORED PROFICIENT OR ADVANCED ON THIS ASSESSMENT. YOU CAN SEE HER SCORES THERE FROM THE OTHER TESTS OVER TIME. WE ALWAYS LIKE TO SEE. HOW DO WE COMPARE AGAINST SOME OF OUR COUNTERPARTS? SO WE'VE BEEN LOOKING AT THESE NUMBERS OF COUNTIES THERE WE HAVE AN ARRENDEL, THE SECOND BAR, THERE WOULD BE BALTIMORE COUNTY. I JUST WANT TO POINT THAT OUT VERSUS BALTIMORE CITY AND CAN SEE THE OTHER COUNTIES. WE HAD LISTED THAT LAST BAR IN RED WILL BE OVERALL. HOW DOES THE STATE PERFORM SO YOU CAN SEE THE STATE'S PERFORMANCE AT 44% ON L A. FOR GREAT THREE THROUGH FIVE.

COMPARED TO WHAT THE LIGHT BLUE BAR IN THE MIDDLE AND A 52. FOR OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS. WE ARE GENERALLY, UM VERY ONLINE TO PREVIOUS YEARS AT ABOUT 46. AND AGAIN OUR COUNTY COMPARISON TO THE STATE AS WELL AS OTHER JURISDICTIONS. OUR HIGH SCHOOL HAS STUDENTS IN THE 10TH GRADE TAKE ENGLISH TOO, AND THEY ARE ASSESSED AND AGAIN. KEEP IN MIND THAT STUDENTS ONLY HAD TO PARTICIPATE, NOT PASS, AND WE KNOW AS THAT CHANGES THERE. THE RATES WERE OBVIOUSLY WITH STUDENTS WILL PUT MORE TIME AND EFFORT INTO THE ASSESSMENT WERE STUDENTS IN OUR DISTRICT SCORED AT THE FIFTIES 57% PROFICIENT. AND AGAIN HERE IS OUR COMPARISON . WHERE, AGAIN WHERE THE LIGHT BLUE IN THE MIDDLE COMPARED TO THE STATE IN OUR OTHER COUNTERPARTS. AND AT THIS POINT , I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO MRS GARY OR SUPERVISOR OF RILA. OKAY GOOD EVENING, JUST TO HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THE WORK THAT'S HAPPENING IN OUR SCHOOLS , AND I THINK IT'S ESSENTIAL. I

[02:15:04]

WANT TO CELEBRATE OUR ELEMENTARY TEACHERS WHO ARE LEARNING A NEW CURRICULUM AND WORKING WITH OUR STUDENTS DAILY ON THE ESSENTIAL SKILLS OF BEING A READER AND A WRITER. AND THEY REALLY HAVE DEDICATED SO MUCH TIME ONE OF THE ITEMS YOU'LL SEE AS A SUMMER INSTITUTE THAT WE OFFERED. AND NOT KNOWING AHEAD OF TIME HOW MUCH INTEREST OR PARTICIPATION WE WOULD GET. WITHIN A WEEK. I WAS THRILLED TO SEE EVERY SEAT WAS TAKEN EVERY TICKET TO COME TO A SUMMER INSTITUTE, WHERE TEACHERS WERE GIVING UP TIME TO COME TOGETHER AS COLLEAGUES ACROSS SCHOOLS TO TALK ABOUT KIDS TO LOOK AT READING INSTRUCTION. WE HAD A SUMMER INSTITUTE IN JULY FOR A FOUR WEEK WITH FULL ATTENDANCE, AND THEN WE OFFERED IT AGAIN IN AUGUST, K 25. AND EVERY SEAT WAS TAKEN OVER 300 TEACHERS PARTICIPATING IN THE SUMMER, UM , INSTITUTE TO LEARN ABOUT THE TEACHING OF READING BECAUSE IT REALLY ISN'T ABOUT A PROGRAM. IT'S ABOUT HOW DO WE CONTINUE TO BUILD THE CAPACITY OF OUR TEACHERS TO MEET THE NEEDS OF STUDENTS? ONE MIGHT JOKE THAT TEACHING READING IS ROCKET SCIENCE. IT TAKES A LOT TO LEARN ALL OF THE WAYS TO MEET THE NEEDS OF STUDENTS AND OUR TEACHERS HAVE COME TO PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT.

THROUGHOUT THIS YEAR. WE'VE OFFERED EARLY DISMISSAL, UM, COUNTYWIDE ON ALL FOUR AROUND.

WHAT DO WE HEAR FROM OUR TEACHERS THAT THEY CONTINUE TO LIKE SUPPORT? THEY'RE VERY REFLECTIVE PRACTITIONERS, AND I HAVE TO HIGHLIGHT THE WORK OF THE ELEMENTARY READING SPECIALIST. UM, I THINK WE'RE SO FORTUNATE AS A DISTRICT TO HAVE AT LEAST ONE ELEMENTARY READING SPECIALISTS IN EACH OF OUR BUILDINGS, AND THEY WORK TIRELESSLY WITH KIDS, BUT ALSO WITH TEACHERS. THEY ALL I'VE HEARD ABOUT THREE LEFT THE MEETING LAST WEEK GO BACK TO THEIR SCHOOLS TO OFFER PARENT FAMILY NIGHTS ALL AROUND READING AND LITERACY. AND SO, UM, WHAT THEY ARE DOING AS FAR AS INTERVENTION. AND OUR CORE PROGRAM. UM I JUST CELEBRATE THE WORK THAT THEY'RE DOING. WE USE DATA CONTINUALLY. UM BECAUSE WE'RE NOT RESTING ON OUR ON OUR SCORES. WE LOOK AT EACH STUDENT AND WE CONTINUE TO WANT TO SUPPORT THEM IN THEIR LITERACY DEVELOPMENT. WE HAVE A VARIETY OF RESOURCES AND PROGRAMS EVEN BEING IN SCHOOLS TODAY. UM IT WAS NICE TO SEE HOW LITERACY IS ACROSS ALL CONTENT AREAS AND SO SEEING OUR STUDENTS TODAY, UM READING. AMERICAN REVOLUTION TO BUILD THEIR THEIR SOCIAL SCIENCES AND AROUND ANIMALS AND THIRD GRADE. UM IT REALLY IS A VARIETY OF BOOKS ONLINE AND IN THEIR HANDS TO ENGAGE OUR KIDS AS LEARNERS. AND THE INTERVENTION IS CRITICAL. WE HAVE A VARIETY OF PROGRAMS, AND WE MAKE SURE ALL OF OUR ELEMENTARY UM EDUCATORS WHO ARE DELIVERING TO OUR STUDENTS WHO ARE MOST STRIVING. STUDENTS HAVE THE TRAINING THEY NEED TO IMPLEMENT THE PROGRAMS. AT SECONDARY. THE UM PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT REALLY COMES IN PHASES. WE HAVE A DEPARTMENT CHAIR ROLE. AND WE WORK DIRECTLY WITH OUR DEPARTMENT CHAIR SO THAT THEY CAN GO BACK AND SUPPORT OUR ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS TEACHERS THIS YEAR I WAS PROUD TO BE ABLE TO USE THREE LITERACY SPECIALISTS TO SUPPORT UM, SOME OF OUR PRIORITY SCHOOLS WITH JOB EMBEDDED PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. YOU'LL SEE SPECIALIST IN CLASSROOMS COACHING CO PLANNING MODELING FOR OUR TEACHERS. THIS BECOMES SO IMPORTANT WHEN I THINK ABOUT THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS OFFICE THIS YEAR. I HAVE 56 NON TENURED , UM SECONDARY ENGLISH TEACHERS AND 28 1ST YEAR AND THAT'S IN THE TIME I'VE BEEN THE SUPERVISOR. THAT'S THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF FIRST YEAR TEACHERS THAT WE'VE HAD. THAT MEANS. WE NEED TO BE OUT THERE SUPPORTING , UM TEACHERS AS THEY GROW IN THEIR CONTENT AS THEY BECOME FAMILIAR WITH OUR DISTRICT. AND WITH OUR CURRICULUM. AND ON OUR LAST SIDE JUST KIND OF AGAIN. WE CONTINUE TO OFFER INTERVENTION PROGRAMS THROUGH SECONDARY AND WE CONTINUE TO THINK ABOUT WAYS WE OFFERED A SUMMER WRITING INSTITUTE AS WE STARTED TO REALLY FOCUS ON MIDDLE SCHOOL WRITING, AND, UM, HAD TEACHERS COME OUT TO ABERDEEN MIDDLE SCHOOL THIS SUMMER IN ORDER TO AGAIN BUILD THEIR PEDAGOGY. AND AT THIS POINT EXCUSE ME AT THIS POINT, WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT OUR MATHEMATICS DATA AND AGAIN. WE TEST THAT GREAT SWEET THROUGH WAIT AT THE HIGH SCHOOL. THE REQUIRED TEST IS ALGEBRA, ONE THAT WOULD CONCLUDE STUDENTS THAT WE OFFER ALGEBRA WANTED THE MIDDLE SCHOOL LEVEL SO THAT WOULD INCLUDE THOSE SCORES AS WELL. IF WE LOOK AT OUR ELEMENTARY DATA, AND WE CAN AGAIN WE COMPARED THIS OVER TIME , WE CAN SEE THAT THE PREVIOUS ASSESSMENT IN THIS YEAR'S ASSESSMENT SCORES ARE VERY DIFFERENT, AND THAT IS SOMETHING THAT IS STATEWIDE AND SOMETHING THAT IS DISCUSSION POINT. IT IS A RIGOROUS ASSESSMENT. IT'S A VERY RIGOROUS ASSESSMENT, AND THERE WERE MAJOR SHIFTS IN THE ASSESSMENT OVERALL. LET'S LOOK AT OUR ACCOUNTING COMPARISON AGAIN, WHERE THE LIGHT BLUE BAR

[02:20:08]

IN THE STATE ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE. THIS SLIDE IS LOOKING AT OUR STUDENTS IN MIDDLE SCHOOL, AND I PUT THE CAUTION ON HERE BECAUSE THE STUDENTS WHO TAKE ALGEBRA ONE GEOMETRY WOULD BE PULLED OUT OF THIS MIX HERE, SO WE DO NOT INCLUDE THOSE SCORES. THIS WOULD BE STUDENTS TAKING GRADE SIX GRADE SEVEN OR GRADE EIGHT. THE MATH, REGULAR MATHEMATICS COURSE NOT THE HIGH SCHOOL COURSES. SO AGAIN, WE'RE LOOKING AT OUR PERFORMANCE THERE VERSUS THE PREVIOUS ASSESSMENT.

UNDER PREVIOUS YEARS. OUR COUNTY COMPARISON ACROSS THE STATES BELOW THE BARS. YOU SEE WHAT SCHOOL SYSTEMS OFFER ALGEBRA ONE OR GEOMETRY AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL LEVEL AND AWARD THEM THE HIGH SCHOOL CREDIT FOR AND ARRUNDELL . THEY OFFER ALGEBRA ONE LOOKING AT THEIR WEBSITE. I CAN'T TELL IF IT'S GREAT EIGHT ONLY, OR GRADE SEVEN OR GRADE SEVEN AND EIGHT, SO THAT'S SOMETHING WE ALSO HAVE TO KEEP IN MIND. THE OTHER JURISDICTIONS AND GREEN DO OFFER ALGEBRA ONE GEOMETRY.

HOWEVER WE KNOW SOME OF THEM OFFER MAYBE IT ONLY AT EIGHTH GRADE. NOT SEVENTH GRADE. ONE COUNTY THERE YOU CAN SEE DOESN'T OFFER ANY EITHER ALGEBRA ONE OR GEOMETRY AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL LEVEL. YES. CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION? SO I'M A LITTLE CONFUSED BY THIS SO WHEN THEY OFFER THE ALGEBRA ONE GEOMETRY, THIS WOULD BE THE MATH SCORERS WITH THOSE HIGHER LEVEL STUDENTS REMOVED SO THE HIGH SCORES WOULD BE REMOVED FROM THE MIDDLE SCHOOL DATA CORRECT AND IT WOULD BE AND THE HIGH SCHOOL DATA AND YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THAT ALGEBRA ONE SEPARATED THAT MIGHT ACTUALLY BECAUSE WE HAVE YOUNGER STUDENTS TAKING THOSE PLACES THAT MAY ACTUALLY LOWER OUR SCORES. AND THOSE HIGH SCHOOL SUSPECT THAT IS YES. WANTED TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTOOD HOW THIS WAS SET UP. THAT WASN'T PERFECT QUESTION. GREAT QUESTION. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. UM SO HERE IS THE ALGEBRA ONE. IT IS WITH ALL OF OUR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS, AND WE HAVE MANY, MANY MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS WHO TAKE ALGEBRA ONE AND YOU CAN SEE, OBVIOUSLY, THERE'S A BIG SHIFT THERE. UM AND THESE STUDENTS ARE ACCELERATED STUDENTS AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL LEVEL AND THEN AT THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL, UM, GENERALLY IT'S GRADE NINE STUDENTS, BUT WE DO HAVE SOME UPPERCLASSMEN WHO MAY NEED TO REPEAT THE COURSE. OR BEGIN THE COURSE FOR THE FIRST TIME IF THEY HAVE AN INTERVENTION COURSE IN THEIR NINTH GRADE YEAR. AND AGAIN THE COMPARISON TO OTHER COUNTIES. BUT IT IS THERE AND I DID INDICATE AGAIN, WHICH COUNTIES HAS WHICH PROGRAM. AND AT THIS POINT, AND WE'RE GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO MRS MCCORD, OR SUPERVISOR OF MATHEMATICS.

GOOD EVENING, THE MATH OFFICE, LIKE THE REAL OFFICE SUPPORTS OUR SCHOOLS AND OUR TEACHERS IN MANY WAYS MANY OF THE SAME WAYS AS FAR AS OUR COUNTYWIDE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, EARLY DISMISSAL, PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND OUR DEPARTMENT CHAIR MEETINGS, BUT A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT ARE UNIQUE FROM MATHEMATICS, PARTICULARLY FOR THIS YEAR, WE HAVE REVISED OUR COURSE NOTES FOR ELEMENTARY MATH TEACHERS TO INCLUDE MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE CONTENT SPECIFIC. LESSONS THAT STUDENTS LEARN IN THE PROGRESSION NOT JUST IN THAT PARTICULAR SCHOOL YEAR. FOR EXAMPLE, IF A STUDENT IS IN THIRD GRADE, THE TEACHER NOTES FOR THIRD GRADE ALSO INCLUDES SOME OF THE CONTENT INFORMATION THAT THE STUDENT WOULD HAVE RECEIVED IN SECOND GRADE. WE KNOW OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS WE'VE BEEN DEALING WITH A LOT OF CHALLENGES, AND SO THERE'S SOME UNFINISHED LEARNING AND SO TO HELP INCREASE TEACHER CAPACITY. WE'VE ENHANCED OUR COURSE NOTES FOR ALL OF OUR ELEMENTARY TEACHERS FOR EACH GRADE LEVEL. UM IN ADDITION, WE'VE ADDED SOME ELEMENTARY TEACHERS SPECIALIST TO OUR TITLE, ONE SCHOOLS THAT STARTED IN THE 2021 SCHOOL YEAR. OLIVER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ALL OF OUR TITLE. ONE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS NOW HAVE A MATHEMATICS SPECIALIST, AND THEIR ROLE IS TO HELP TEACHERS PLAN THEIR LESSONS AND SUPPORT THEM WITH THEIR CURRENT BUILDING CONTENT CAPACITY, BUT ALSO AROUND THE PLATE AGO, SHE SPECIFIC TO MATHEMATICS INSTRUCTION. EXCUSE ME ONCE AGAIN. I APOLOGIZE. DO THEY ALSO DO OBSERVATIONS AND OFFERS SUGGESTIONS THEN TO THE TEACHERS AS THEY'RE WORKING WITH THEIR STUDENTS, THE TEACHER SPECIALIST DO PLAN WITH THEM. THEY GO TEACH WITH THEM. THEY WILL, UM, OBSERVED THEM TO COLLECT DATA, BUT THEY ARE NON EVALUATIVE. OKAY BUT THEY'RE WORKING WITH THEM. ALL OF YOU. YES. UM AND THEN, FINALLY THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. WE ALSO HAVE TO DISTRICT LEVEL TEACHERS SPECIALIST TO SUPPORT OUR NON TITLE ONE SCHOOLS, AND THEY GO INTO THE SCHOOLS UPON THE SCHOOLS REQUEST TO DO INFORMAL WALK THROUGHS WITH THE ADMIN TEAM TO PLAN WITH THE ELEMENTARY TEACHERS. MATHEMATICS UM, ONE FOCUSES MORE ON THE PRIMARY.

THAT'S ACTUALLY A GRANT POSITION. THAT WILL END THIS YEAR. SHE FOCUSES ON PRE K 22, AND THEN THE OTHER ONE IS FOCUSED 3 TO 5. SHE WAS IN THE POSITION BEFORE AND PREVIOUSLY

[02:25:04]

SHE FOCUSED PRE K 25. BUT NOW WE HAVE SOMEONE FOR THAT EARLY CHILDHOOD NICHE. AND THEN IN OUR SECONDARY MATHEMATICS, CLASSROOMS AND BUILDINGS. WE DO NOT HAVE MATH SPECIALIST. WE DO HAVE ONE CURRICULUM SPECIALISTS THAT SUPPORTS OUR SECONDARY SCHOOLS AND SIMILAR TO WHAT MISCARRY SHARED ABOUT REAL. AH. THAT IS SHE IS SUPPORTING A LOT OF TEACHERS THIS YEAR WE HAVE AT OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL 34% OF OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL TEACHERS ARE NON TENURED AND AT OUR HIGH SCHOOL 27% OR NON TENURED, SO SHE IS ALSO VERY BUSY WORKING WITH TEACHERS ACROSS THE DISTRICT.

SHE DOES EVALUATE TEACHERS AND SUPPORTS THOSE SCHOOLS WITH THEIR FORMAL APPRAISAL AND EVALUATION. PROCESS OKAY. I GUESS WHAT? I'M ASKING ABOUT THAT. IT'S NOT. I DON'T WANT IT TO BE A PEANUT PUNITIVE THING. I WANTED TO BE SOMETHING WHERE YOU'RE HELPING THE TEACHERS TO GET BETTER WHAT THEY'RE DOING. I THINK THE BIG TAKEAWAY FROM ALL THIS, AT LEAST FOR ME IS WHEN WE'RE COMPARING TO OTHER DISTRICTS WERE COMPARING APPLES AND ORANGES SOMETIMES BECAUSE THEY DON'T TEST THE SAME WAY THAT WE TEST. AND THEN THE FACT THAT THIS WAS A BRAND NEW TEST THIS YEAR YOU CAN SEE ACROSS THE STATE. ALL THE SCORES WERE LOWER . WOULD THAT BE A CORRECT ASSESSMENT OF THIS? I THINK THAT WOULD BE A PERFECT ASSESSMENT. YES, THANK YOU. OKAY WE'RE GOING TO MOVE INTO SCIENCE AT SCIENCE IS REQUIRED BY FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS THAT WE TEST ONE AT EVERY GRADE LEVEL. MARYLAND HAS CHOSEN TO TEST GRADE FIVE GRADE EIGHT AND AT THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL WE TEST EXCUSE ME. THAT SHOULD BE GREAT NINE AND BIOLOGY IN NINTH GRADE STUDENTS TO TEST IN BIOLOGY. UM, SO LET'S LOOK AT HER DATA FOR THIS IS THE MIS ASSESSMENT. MARYLAND INTEGRATED SCIENCE ASSESSMENT. FOR GRADE FIVE. THIS ASSESSMENT ACTUALLY IS THE ONLY OF THE COM FOUR CONTENT AREAS THAT HAS REMAINED OVER TIME, AND WE CAN ACTUALLY COMPARE TRUE APPLES TO APPLES IN THIS SLIDE, SO YOU CAN SEE THERE THAT WERE THE BLUE BAR WORRIED ABOUT 34. THIS IS ALSO AN ASSESSMENT THAT IS USED OVER MULTIPLE GRADE LEVELS. SO THE NOTE AT THE TOP. THERE ARE MANY THIRD GRADE ITEMS. MANY FOURTH GRADE ITEMS INCLUDED ON THIS ASSESSMENT. IT'S NOT GEARED TO JUST ONE SCHOOL YEAR. AGAIN THE RED BAR WOULD BE THE STATE PERFORMANCE. AT THE EIGHTH GRADE LEVEL WE HAVE ABOUT 43% PASS RATE OR PROFICIENCY RATE COMPARED TO THE STATE AND ABOUT 35. AND THIS IS A BRAND NEW ASSESSMENT. THE LIFE SCIENCE BIOLOGY ARE GETTING GREAT NINE.

WE ARE ACTUALLY AT 57% AND TIED THERE RIGHT ALONG AGAIN. THESE STUDENTS DO NOT NEED TO PASS THE ASSESSMENT. THEY JUST NEEDED TO TAKE IT. AT THIS POINT, WE'RE GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO MR EKES ARE ACTING SUPERVISOR OF SCIENCE . GOOD EVENING, EVERYBODY, MUCH LIKE MY REEL OFF AND MATHEMATICS FOLKS WERE DOING MUCH OF THE SAME IN ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY . WE DO TALK CLOSELY WITH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL EILTS TO DIG DOWN IN THIS DATA. WHAT WE'RE SHARING TONIGHT IS JUST A SNIPPET OF WHAT WE COULD SEE ABOUT HOW STUDENTS PERFORMED. ON THE MIX UP. OUR CURRICULUM SPECIALIST IS VERY ACTIVE WITH SCIENCE, GOLD TEAM DISCUSSIONS, STRENGTH BASED WALK THROUGHS TO HIGHLIGHT WHAT ARE ELEMENTARY TEACHERS ARE DOING WELL IN THE SCIENCE CLASSROOM AND TO CELEBRATE AND TO MODEL THAT AND GRADE LEVEL COLLABORATIVE PLANNING SESSIONS TO FOCUS ON SCIENTIFIC LITERACY. SCIENCE IS READING, WRITING DOING AND SPEAKING LIKE A SCIENCE. IT'S MORE THAN JUST THE MEMORIZATION OF A BODY EFFECTS. UM WE'RE ALSO PILOTING 1/5 GRADE ASSESSMENT SYSTEM THAT I'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT ON THE NEXT SLIDE. SO SECONDARY SCIENCE FOR ALSO DOING PERFORMANCE DATA REVIEW WITH OUR HIGH SCHOOL DEPARTMENT CHAIRS, MEMBERS OF MR SNYDER'S OFFICE HAVE COME OUT AND HELP OUR SCIENCE DEPARTMENT SHARES TO DRILL DOWN IN THAT DATA DOWN TO THE EVIDENCE STATEMENT, WHICH I'LL TALK ABOUT IN A MOMENT WE ARE SUPPORTING BUILDING CAPACITY RELATED TO THE USE OF CURRICULAR EVIDENCE STATEMENTS WHICH ARE MENTIONED THIS YEAR. WE'VE HAD SUSTAINED PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT ON CUE FT. IT IS QUESTION FORMULATION TECHNIQUES AND AS YOU'RE SEEING TONIGHT AT THIS MEETING ASKING GOOD QUESTIONS, UNDERSTANDING THE QUESTION AND WHERE IT'S COMING FROM, HELPS US ALL TO MAKE SENSE OF THE DATA OR THE INSTRUCTION. WE WANT KIDS TO SHARE THEIR QUESTIONS IN THE CLASSROOM AND TO REFINE THEM INTO SOMETHING THAT THEY CAN RESEARCH OR TAKE SOME ACTION ON WE HAVE LOTS OF NEW TECHNOLOGY TOOLS THAT HELP STUDENTS MAKE SENSE OF ABSTRACT CONCEPTS. MANY OF THOSE CAME TO BEAR DURING COVID WHEN WE HAD TO RELY ON VIRTUAL LABS, VIRTUAL ACTIVITIES AND WE'RE STILL USING THE GOOD ONES THAT CHERRY PICKED ONES THERE. OUR CURRICULUM SPECIALIST , VERY BUSY PROVIDING INDIVIDUAL

[02:30:06]

SUPPORT TO DEPARTMENTS AND TEACHERS. AND OUR FORMAL TEACHER OBSERVATION IN CLASSROOM WALK THROUGHS HIGHLIGHT THE STRENGTHS THAT WE SEE. CINDY ASSESSMENT SYSTEM IS CALLED INNER ORBIT. WE HAVE SIX HIGH SCHOOLS, SIX MIDDLE AND SEVEN ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS PARTICIPATING IN INNER ORBIT ORBIT. DOES THE SCIENCE INSTRUCTION IT'S LIKE THE TWINE WITH THREE STRINGS. YOU HAVE YOUR DISCIPLINARY CORE IDEA YOUR CONTENT IF YOU WILL SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING PRACTICES AND CROSSCUTTING CONCEPTS THAT GO THROUGH ALL SCIENCE CONTENT. THE INNER ORBIT SYSTEM ALLOWS TEACHERS TO SELECT QUESTIONS THAT ARE THREE DIMENSIONAL. THEY CAN BUILD ASSESSMENTS FROM THIS POOL OF QUESTIONS. THEY CAN EVEN CREATE THEIR OWN ASSESSMENT. THEY ASSIGNED THOSE TWO CLASSES . AND WHEN I SAY ASSESSMENT AND ASSESSMENT COULD BE SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS YOU COME IN, AND YOUR DRILL IS SEEING WHAT BACKGROUND WHAT SCHEME OR YOU'VE BROUGHT TO THE SCIENCE CLASSROOM TO SEE WHERE WHERE EVERYBODY IS THAT DAY, SO IT COULD BE A WARM UP. IT COULD BE A FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT TO GIVE TEACHER DATA IT COULD BE AN EXIT TICKET AT THE END OF THE DAY TO SEE IF THE STUDENTS IN THE CLASS UNDERSTOOD THE DAY'S LESSONS. TEACHERS ARE GIVEN IMMEDIATE FEEDBACK ON INTO ORBIT. THEY CAN SEE HOW WELL EACH MEMBER OF THE CLASS DID, AND THEN THEY CAN REFOCUS THEIR LESSONS FOR RICH TEACHING OR NEEDED OR MY HOPE IS ENRICHMENT. BECAUSE THE STUDENTS IN FRONT OF THEM THAT DAY GRASP THE CONCEPT UNDERSTOOD THE SCIENCE THAT WAS BEING DELIVERED THAT DAY. SO THOSE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE HIGHLIGHTS THAT WE'RE DOING IN THE SCIENCE DEPARTMENT. THANK YOU. OKAY WE'RE GONNA MOVE TO OUR FINAL CONTENT FOR TONIGHT AND SOCIAL STUDIES. I'M GOING TO SHOW HERE WE CAN GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE AND EXCUSE ME. UM WE DO NOT HAVE THE DATA FOR THE ORDER TO COMPARE. SO I WANT TO POINT THAT OUT THAT FOR SCIENCE AND SOCIAL STUDIES. I COULDN'T DO THE SLIDES BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THAT DATA. IN SOME CASES IN SOCIAL STUDIES. THE STATE DOESN'T EVEN PUT DATA ON THE WEBSITE INDEED REPORT CARD BECAUSE THE REQUIREMENT IS THAT AMERICAN GOVERNMENT IN THE SOCIAL STUDIES IS NOT A FEDERAL REQUIREMENT, SO THAT DATA WE CANNOT COMPARED TO LET'S LOOK AT OUR FIRST TIME THE STUDENTS TAKE THE TEST AGAIN. THERE WERE SOME SHIFTS FROM PREVIOUS ASSESSMENT . SO ARE STUDENTS FROM TAKING THE COVID BREAK THERE, AND WE'RE OUT OF 64% PROFICIENCY OR ADVANCED. RIGHT THERE AND AGAIN THAT STUDENTS WHO ARE JUST TAKING THE TEST NOT REQUIRED TO PASS. AND AT THIS POINT WE'RE GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO MISS LANG, OUR SUPERVISOR OF SOCIAL SCIENCES. GOOD EVENING. NOW, WHILE WE DON'T HAVE A STATE OR FEDERAL TEST AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL, I WOULD BE REMISS IF I DIDN'T CHAMPION THE WORK THAT OUR TEACHERS ARE DOING TO SUPPORT THE SUCCESS OF OUR STUDENTS ON STANDARDIZED TESTING , AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE SLIDE , UH, FORDHAM INSTITUTE LONGITUDINAL STUDIES SHOWED THAT MORE INSTRUCTIONAL TIME AND SOCIAL SCIENCES SPECIFICALLY INQUIRY BASED SOCIAL SCIENCE INSTRUCTION. CORRELATED WITH GREATER READING GROWTH FROM FIRST TO FIFTH GRADE BY 15% AND THAT WAS OVER ALL OF OUR SUBGROUPS, INCLUDING OUR SUBGROUPS THAT ARE PERFORMING AT THEIR LOWEST SOCIAL SCIENCE TEXT . INFORMATIONAL TEXT IS A LARGE PORTION OF OUR E L A ASSESSMENTS AND SO THE WORK THAT WE DO IN SOCIAL SCIENCES IN THE CURRICULUM IS REALLY SUPPORTING THE WORK THAT'S BEING DONE IN THE OTHER ASSESSMENT AREAS. SOCIAL SCIENCE IS REALLY A CROSS CURRICULAR CONTENT IN WHICH THERE IS DATA ANALYSIS. THERE IS LITERACY, INCLUDING READING COMPREHENSION. IT BUILDS SCHEMA AND BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE THAT REALLY SUPPORTS STUDENT SUCCESS.

IN THE TEST SUBJECT AREAS. NOW, WHEN I SAY INQUIRY ARC, I DID WANT TO CLARIFY WHAT I MEAN BY THAT, BECAUSE INQUIRY IS THE BASIS OF SOCIAL SCIENCE INSTRUCTION FROM PRE K THROUGH 12 IN HARFORD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND WHAT THE INQUIRY ARE REALLY IS ABOUT IS STUDENTS AND TEACHERS ASKING COMPELLING QUESTIONS. QUESTIONS THAT ARE OPEN ENDED THAT REQUIRE IN DEPTH ANALYSIS AND CRITICAL THINKING TO ANSWER. AND THE SOCIAL SCIENCE DISCIPLINE. WE THEN USE OUR FOUR DISCIPLINARY TOOLS OF CIVICS, ECONOMICS, GEOGRAPHY AND HISTORY THAT ARE EMBEDDED THROUGHOUT OUR CONTENT TO THEN ANALYZE AND EVALUATE SOURCES AND PROVIDE EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THE CONCLUSIONS THAT OUR STUDENTS ARE MAKING AND THEN, LASTLY, COMMUNICATING THE CONCLUSIONS THAT THEY ARE MAKING IN A VARIETY OF WAYS. ONE OF THE BEST LITERACY TOOLS THAT WE HAVE IN SOCIAL SCIENCES IS WHAT WE CALL THE SHADE HISTORICAL THINKING FRAMEWORK, SO IT'S THINKING LIKE AN HISTORIAN, MUCH LIKE MR X MENTIONED THINKING LIKE A SCIENTIST, AND SO IN THE SOCIAL SCIENCE WORLD, WE ANALYZED A VARIETY OF TAX WHETHER THAT IS INFORMATION OR I'M SORRY, IMAGE BASED TEXTUAL BASE VIDEOS BY SOURCING THAT INFORMATION. SO WHERE IS IT COMING FROM AN ANALYZING THAT SOURCE. CONTEXTUALIZING IT. SO WHERE IS IT IN THE BROADER SCHEME OF

[02:35:05]

THINGS. DURING A CLOSE READING OR CLOSE ANALYSIS AND THEN CORROBORATING THAT INFORMATION.

SO WHAT INFORMATION DO WE NEED TO REALLY UNDERSTAND THE FULL PICTURE OF WHAT THIS INFORMATION IS TELLING US? UM SO IN THE SOCIAL SCIENCE WORLD, WE ARE FOCUSING A LOT ON MEANINGFUL PERFORMANCE BASED ASSESSMENTS THAT PROVIDES TEACHERS WITH AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A FEEDBACK LOOP WITH OUR STUDENTS TO GROW THEIR CAPACITY AND A VARIETY OF WAYS. IT ALSO GROWS THOSE REAL WORLD SKILLS THAT ARE BEING ASSESSED ON ALL OF OUR STATE TESTS AND ALL OF OUR CONTENT AREAS. ONE OF THE WAYS THAT WE'RE DOING. THIS IS THROUGH A PERFORMANCE BASED LEARNING APPROACH, ESPECIALLY IN OUR FIELD TEST OF OUR EXPLORATIONS OF WORLD HISTORY CURRICULUM.

THERE HAVE BEEN THREE STUDIES RECENTLY THAT ARE PEER REVIEWED ONE FROM THE CENTER FOR ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL RESEARCH AT USC, ONE FROM MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY AND ONE FROM STANFORD THAT SHOWED THAT STUDENTS IN PERFORMANCE BASED LEARNING CLASSROOMS FROM A VARIETY OF BACKGROUNDS, SO ALL OF OUR SUBGROUPS OUTSCORED PEERS IN THE TRADITIONAL CLASSROOM ON A VARIETY OF STATE ASSESSMENTS THAT STANDARDIZED ASSESSMENT AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL AS WELL AS ON COLLEGE BOARDS. AP ASSESSMENTS AT THE SECONDARY LEVEL, SO THAT FOR PROJECT BASED LEARNING APPROACH IS REALLY POWERFUL AND ELEVATING WHAT STUDENTS ARE DOING BOTH IN TERMS OF THEIR CONTEXTUAL IZATION OF REAL WORLD SKILLS AND ALSO IN THE PERFORMANCE ON STANDARDIZED TESTING. WE'RE ALSO PROVIDING BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR TEACHERS, MUCH LIKE WE'RE DOING IN MATHEMATICS, SO WE'RE PROVIDING INFORMATION IN OUR CURRICULUM THAT CONTEXTUALIZE IS AND SUPPORTS TEACHERS AND PROVIDES RESOURCES TO THEM. THIS IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL WHERE WE HAVE OUR CONTENT GENERALISTS. WE IDENTIFY MISCONCEPTIONS AND OUR HISTORIC ROADBLOCKS AND SUPPORT OUR TEACHERS IN BUILDING THEIR OWN SCHEMA TO SUPPORT THEIR STUDENTS. AND THEN SOME OF THE WAYS THAT WE ARE SUPPORTING AND OUR ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY FOLKLORE THROUGH THE SAME PROCESS IS THAT WE ARE DOING WITH THE REST OF OUR CONTENT AREAS, AND MY PEERS HAVE ALREADY MENTIONED MANY OF THEM. ONE OF THE ONES I WOULD LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT ON MY MONTHLY NEWSLETTERS. MANY OF YOU HAVE GOTTEN THEM WHEN YOU'VE REQUESTED THEM. THERE'S NEWSLETTERS. FUTURE INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGY SPOTLIGHTS TO SUPPORT ONGOING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR TEACHERS, AS WELL AS CELEBRATIONS OF EXEMPLAR TEACHERS TO REALLY HAVE THAT PERFORMANCE BASED APPROACH TO REALLY A STRENGTH SPACE LEARNING. AND WE ARE ALSO DOING A LOT OF SIDE BY SIDE PLANNING AND CO TEACHING. I'M A SMALL BUT MIGHTY OPPOSITE TO I HAVE ONE CURRICULUM SPECIALIST TO SUPPORT ALL 55 OF OUR SCHOOLS, AND WE ARE CONSTANTLY IN SCHOOLS DOING SIDE BY SIDE TEACHING, DOING CO PLANNING AND REALLY SUPPORTING TEACHERS IN SETTING GOALS FOR THEMSELVES AND THEN GROWING THEIR OWN PRACTICES TO SUPPORT THEIR STUDENTS. AND LASTLY, WE DO A LOT WITH GROWING OUR DEPARTMENT SHARES AND THEIR LEADERSHIP CAPACITY TO BRING BACK THEIR LEARNING TO THEIR TEACHERS. AND MOST RECENTLY, WE'VE BEEN ENGAGING IN VERTICALLY TEAMED WALK THROUGHS WITH OUR SECONDARY DEPARTMENT CHAIRS, AND SO THAT'S WHEN I HAVE MY MIDDLE SCHOOL D C AND MY HIGH SCHOOL DC, WORKING TOGETHER TO DO WALK THROUGH TOGETHER, SETTING GOALS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE DAY AND DISCUSSING THEIR LEARNING AND SETTING GOALS, REALLY EMBEDDING THAT LEADERSHIP CAPACITY TO SUPPORT ALL OF OUR TEACHERS. THANK YOU, MRS LANG. SO INCREASING STUDENT PERFORMANCE AS MEASURED BY STATE ASSESSMENTS OR THE MYRIAD OF OTHER SUCCESS. CRITERIA CONNECTED TO EDUCATION IS A PRIMARY GOAL OF EVERY PERSON IN HCPS, AS WELL AS THE COMMUNITY AND FAMILIES THAT SURROUND THE STUDENTS. THERE ARE MANY THINGS THAT YOU HEARD TONIGHT THAT ARE BEING DONE TO SUPPORT ENHANCEMENTS IN THESE DATA RESULTS. HOWEVER, THERE'S A LOT OF OTHER THINGS THAT WE DIDN'T GET TO PRESENT TO YOU. FOR EXAMPLE, THE COUNTLESS HOURS THAT WE KNOW PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS ARE SITTING SIDE BY SIDE WITH THEIR CHILDREN WORKING ON HOMEWORK AND PRACTICING CRITICAL SKILLS. THE POSITIVE IMPACT THAT ARE THREE DUTY CENTERS HAVE ON OUR YOUNGEST LEARNERS TO BE READY TO GO TO KINDERGARTEN. THE SOCIAL, EMOTIONAL LEARNING AND ORGANIZATIONAL SKILLS THAT ARE INFUSED INTO STUDENTS DAILY ROUTINES BY TEACHERS. THE FOCUS ON STUDENT DATA THAT INDIVIDUAL TEACHERS AND DEPARTMENTS OR GRADE LEVEL UH TEAMS HAVE DURING THEIR PROFESSIONAL LEARNING COMMUNITY AND TEAM PLANNING TIME. THE ENHANCED AND FOCUSED PROCESS OF SCHOOL PERFORMANCE AND ACHIEVEMENT, BETTER KNOWN AS SPA OCCURRING IN EVERY SCHOOL AND THE MANY, MANY, MANY HOURS OF WORK OF EDUCATION SERVICES STUDENT SERVICES, THE SPECIAL EDUCATION OFFICE, THE TITLE ONE OFFICE SPA FACILITATORS, INSTRUCTIONAL DATA SPECIALISTS, THE OFFICE OF FAMILY AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND MANY, MANY OTHERS. THERE ARE MANY HOPEFUL, OPTIMISTIC PIECES OF THIS DATA. THERE ARE REASONS TO CELEBRATE. AND THERE ARE MANY PIECES THAT ARE GUIDING OUR WORK TO CONTINUE TO CHANGE AND MAKE ADJUSTMENTS SO THAT WHEN WE COME BACK IN A YEAR WITH DIFFERENT DATA, IT SHOWS INCREASED PERFORMANCE BY ALL OF OUR STUDENTS. AT THIS TIME, WE'LL BE HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS. ME, MR KIRBY. YOU CAN BE NEXT, DR PHILLIPS. THANKS FOR THE EXTENSIVE PRESENTATION GREATLY

[02:40:03]

APPRECIATE IT. BASIC QUESTION THAT, UM. MENTIONED REPEATEDLY DURING THAT TALKS ABOUT TAKING THE TEST BUT NOT REQUIRED TO PASS THE TEST. WOULD YOU EXPLAIN THAT? SURE SO IN PREVIOUS YEARS PRIOR TO THE NUMBER OF YEARS AGO STUDENTS AND IT CHANGES VERY BY THE STATE DEPARTMENT. THEY WILL COME UP WITH THE REGULATION OF THIS YEAR. WE WERE REQUIRING STUDENTS TO TAKE CONTESTS INTO PASS IT IN ORDER TO GRADUATE IN UNDER THOSE ROLES, THEIR STUDENTS DIDN'T PASS THE TEST.

THEN THEY HAD TO RETAKE THE TEST AT SOME POINT NOW BECAUSE WE'VE HAD MAJOR CHANGES IN ASSESSMENTS , THE STATE HAS ABANDONED THAT PHILOSOPHY. AND UNTIL WE GET THIS ASSESSMENT GOING ON FOR CONTINUOUS GREAT QUESTION, THANK YOU UNDERSTAND THAT. THANK YOU. DR PHILLIPS. UM. SO OBVIOUSLY I MEAN, THE NUMBERS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES. THEY'RE NOT PRETTY BUT IT DOES LEAVE A LOT OF ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT. OBVIOUSLY, UM. THE MOST DIFFICULT PART IN SOLVING A PROBLEM, THOUGH, IS IDENTIFYING WHERE THE PRIMARY PROBLEM IS. AND I'M JUST WONDERING. IF I KNOW THIS IS STATE DATA, BUT DO WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO BREAK IT DOWN BY SCHOOL? AND IF SO, CAN WE YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY IF WE HAVE 50% BUT ONE SCHOOL IS PERFORMING AT 80% PERFORMING 20% WE SHOULD MAYBE FOCUS OUR RESOURCES THAT THAT SCHOOL THAT'S 20% AND. NOT THAT WE'RE HAPPY WITH 80, BUT IT'S CERTAINLY BETTER THAN 20. WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO TRACK THAT, SINCE IT'S A STATE THEY DO. WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO TRACK THAT DATA DOWN SCHOOL BY SCHOOL. AND IF SO, HAVE WE DONE SO? AND ARE WE GOING TO LOOK TO TRY TO FOCUS ON WHERE THE PRIMARY PROBLEM LIES WITH SOME OF THESE SCHOOLS. CORRECT SO LET ME JUST TALK TO YOU A LITTLE BIT OF THE GREAT QUESTION ABOUT THE RESOURCES WE HAVE. WE HAVE A PLATFORM CALLED PERFORMANCE MATTERS THAT ALL OF OUR TEACHERS, ALL OF OUR ADMINISTRATORS AND OTHERS IN THE SCHOOL SYSTEM. IF THEY'RE INVOLVED WITH STUDENTS EDUCATION , THEY HAVE ACCESS TO THIS PLATFORM, AND THAT WILL BE VERY SPECIFIC TO EACH STUDENT. THEY CAN SUMMARIZE IT. I HAD A GRADE LEVEL. UM THEY CAN DO IT BY STUDENT GROUP. SO IF WE WANT TO LOOK AT A PARTICULAR STUDENT GROUP, WE CAN CERTAINLY COMPARE THAT THAT'S ONE TOOL THAT THEY HAVE TO HAVE THE DATA AT THEIR FINGERTIPS. OUR OFFICE HAS ALSO BUILT A DIFFERENT DASHBOARD. UM FOR ADMINISTRATORS RIGHT NOW, AND THAT HAS JUST ROLLED OUT TO THEM TO ACTUALLY TAKE THE MARYLAND REPORT CARD SITE AND EASILY PORTRAY IT OVER TIME, ALL ON ONE PAGE. SO THAT IS A TWO POOLS THERE, BUT YES, WE DO. LOOK AT THE DATA BY SCHOOL, AND WE HAVE CONVERSATIONS WITH EACH SCHOOL ABOUT THEIR DATA, AND THEN THEY CERTAINLY WILL REACH OUT WHETHER TO MY OFFICE OR TO THIS SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT OFFICE THUS FAR OFFICE OR TO THESE FOLKS RIGHT HERE, SO WE'RE ALL INVOLVED. IN LOOKING AT THE DATA AND REVIEWING IT. ANY REPLY.

THAT'S PART OF IT. ANY REASON WHY THAT ISN'T SHARED WITH US, OR IS IT WHICH PARTICULAR SCHOOL BY SCHOOL DATA? GENERALLY WE SHARED IT WITH THE BOARD. BUT IN IN THE PUBLIC FORUM, WE'VE JUST LOOKED AT OUR COUNTY DATA COMPARED TO THE STATE, BUT WE CAN AVAILABLE ON CARDS SO ANYONE CAN GO AND LOOK AT IT. YEAH THAT WOULD MAKE IT FOR A VERY LONG PRESENTATION. IF WE WERE TO DO THAT, BUT, UM YOU KNOW, LIKE I SAID, I'M NOT I DON'T THINK ANY OF YOU ALL ARE, YOU KNOW APPARENTLY THE OTHER ON THE BACK, SAYING WE'RE DOING A GREAT JOB HERE BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY COVID HAD A LOT TO DO WITH THAT. I THINK EVERYBODY IN THE WORLD RECOGNIZES THAT BUT AT THE SAME TIME, I THINK WE NEED TO MAYBE FOCUS MORE HEAVILY ON WOULD PARTICULAR SCHOOLS AND AS PATRICE WAS JUST MENTIONING, DEMOGRAPHICALLY, I'M SURE WE PROBABLY HAVE AN IDEA OF WHICH ONES ARE BETTER PERFORMING SCHOOLS AND WHICH ONES ARE NOT, AND THAT'S WHERE I THINK WE NEED TO BRING THOSE NUMBERS UP AND KIND OF BRING MUCH UP FROM A SCHOOL THAT'S PERFORMING AT 80.

THE SCHOOL WAS PERFORMING 2030% YOU HAVE A LOT OF ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT. ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY COMMENTS? THEY'D LIKE ME, DIANE. I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS SO LOOKING AT THE DATA THAT'S AVAILABLE ON THE WEBSITE. IT SAYS THAT IT'S FOR YEARS 2022 2021, THEN THERE'S SOME BACK YEARS AS WELL AVAILABLE. UM, THE DATA THAT WE WERE PRESENTED TONIGHT IS FROM 2022 EXACT CORRECT, CORRECT, 21 22 SCHOOL YEAR, WHICH WE TESTED IN THE SPRING, BASICALLY, APRIL AND MAY OF 2022. OKAY AND WELL, WHEN WILL THAT BE POSTED ONTO THE PUBLIC SITE? THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. I HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR THE STATE DEPARTMENT THAT QUESTION THEY DON'T HAVE A TECHNICAL ANSWER YET THAT I CAN SHARE. THEY SAID IT WAS. IT'S COMING IN A FEW WEEKS FOR THE SPECIFIC IF YOU GO UNDER THE TAB THAT SAYS ASSESSMENTS, THAT'S WHERE YOU'RE REFERRING TO. THAT INFORMATION WILL BE COMING IN A FEW WEEKS, AND THAT'S THE ONLY ANSWER THAT I CAN SHARE WITH AT

[02:45:03]

THAT TIME. OKAY AND I ALSO I HAD A QUESTION ABOUT THE STAR RATING . SO IT'S A IT'S A FIVE STAR RATING. CORRECT I CAN. CAN YOU TELL ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW THE THAT RATING WHAT FACTORS GO INTO DETERMINING DETERMINE THE NUMBER OF STARS? TO ANSWER IN A BRIEF RESPONSE AND INCLUDES A NUMBER OF THINGS WE'RE LOOKING AT TEST SCORES WERE LOOKING AT STUDENT GROWTH. WE'RE LOOKING AT CHRONIC ATTENDANCE OR LOOKING AT STUDENTS IN CERTAIN COURSES IN THEIR LETTER GRADES ADMINISTERED BY THEIR TEACHERS WERE LOOKING AT STUDENTS, ENROLMENT AND MANY COURSES. THERE IS ACTUALLY A FRAMEWORK THAT I CAN PUT TOGETHER HAPPY TO SHARE THAT WITH THE BOARD. BY LEVEL SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT PERCENTAGE MATCHES EACH METRIC AND HOW IT ALL TOTALS UP TO 100 POINTS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. I PRESENT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. I JUST HAVE A QUESTION. UM WHAT. THESE THESE NUMBERS ARE. I MEAN, SINCE 2016 LIKE IN ALL OF THE CATEGORIES ARE NUMBERS HAVE DROPPED. UM HOW ARE WE SUPPORTING OUR STUDENTS? UM TO INCREASE THEIR PROFICIENCY IN ALL OF THESE CATEGORIES. LIKE EACH I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW THAT IT'S VERY. I KNOW THAT YOU GUYS SEE IT. I'M JUST ASKING. WHAT ARE WE DOING SPECIFICALLY TO SUPPORT. THIS STUDENTS THAT ARE STRUGGLING IN ALL OF THESE CATEGORIES TO IMPROVE THEIR PROFICIENCY. BIG QUESTION, SO TRY TO ADDRESS SOME OF THE PIECES THAT WE HAVE IN PLACE.

SOME SOME VERY LARGE SYSTEM WIDE PIECES WOULD BE THINGS LIKE OUR SUMMER PROGRAMMING FOR STUDENTS . WE DO PRIORITIZE ATTENDANCE AT THOSE PROGRAMS FOR STUDENTS WHO HAVE DEMONSTRATED THEY HAVE GAPS IN THEIR LEARNING AND WOULD NEED THAT ADDITIONAL SUPPORT IN THE CONTENT AREAS OVER THE SUMMER.

WE ALSO HAVE AS WE'VE SHARED WITH THE BOARD. UM A COMPANY THAT WE PARTNER WITH CALLED PHOEBE TUTOR THAT OFFERS, UM AFTER SCHOOL TUTORING THAT CAN BE SCHEDULED REGULARLY DROPPING HOMEWORK HELP, AS WELL AS HIGH DOSAGE TUTORING, WHICH MEANS AT LEAST 3 30 MINUTE SESSIONS PER WEEK IN A PARTICULAR CONTENT AREA. THOSE ARE REAL PEOPLE, ONE ON ONE WITH A STUDENT. THEY CAN SEE OUR WHATEVER THE CHILD IS WORKING ON. IT CAN BE SHOWN THROUGH THROUGH THEIR WHITE BOARD. WHAT YOU CALL THAT? YES PLATFORM. UM SO THOSE ARE THOSE ARE TWO BIG WAYS. WE ALSO HAVE OUR OWN HCPS TUTORING SO STUDENTS, FAMILIES CAN SIGN UP AND GET THAT ADDITIONAL TUTORING. SO WE HAVE AN E O PROGRAM OVER THE SUMMER, SO THOSE ARE LARGE PIECES. THERE ARE A LOT OF A LOT OF WHAT WE DO FOR STUDENTS AND IS IN TERMS OF ON A DAY TO DAY BASIS. ASSESSING WHERE THEY ARE IN TERMS OF THE OBJECTIVE OF THAT LESSON, OR THE MASTER OF THE STANDARD ARE CURRICULAR STANDARDS ARE THE SAME ONES THAT ARE ASSESSED ON THE HONESTY ASSESSMENT, SO IT DOES ALIGN SO THAT DAY TO DAY WORK OF TEACHERS TO FIGURE OUT WHERE THE STUDENTS ARE, AND THEN WE SUPPORT BY PROVIDING STRATEGIES, ADDITIONAL CONTENT KNOWLEDGE FOR THOSE TEACHERS SO THEY CAN ADDRESS THAT. UM I THINK THIS TIES IN WITH SOME OF THE ADDITIONAL SUPPORTS. WE HAVE IN SOME OF OUR SECONDARY COURSES SUCH AS MATH COURSES THAT ARE DAILY. SO IT'S ONE MATH COURSE.

BUT IT'S ACTUALLY OFFERED DAILY . SO STUDENTS HAVE TWICE AS MUCH TIME WITH THE TEACHER TO GET SUPPORT IN THAT CURRICULUM. WE'RE LOOKING AT THAT IN TERMS OF ENGLISH AND SOME COURSES THAT STUDENTS MIGHT NEED SUPPORT ON IN HIGH SCHOOL AS WELL. SO THERE'S THAT IS NOT AN EXHAUSTIVE LIST. BUT THOSE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS I THINK DAY TO DAY AND ALSO LARGE PICTURE THAT WE'RE DOING FOR THE STUDENTS THEMSELVES. WE TALKED MAINLY ABOUT ADULTS, BUT YOU'RE RIGHT. THERE'S A LOT THAT'S HAPPENING WITH OUR STUDENTS. I THINK AS I LOOK AT ALL THE DATA THAT YOU PRESENTED, THE MOST DIFFICULT THING IS WE HAVE NOT HAD A CONSISTENT TEST. SO WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE THE SAME TESTS THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT YOUR IF YOU YEAR AFTER YEAR, IT'S HARD TO MAKE A COMPARISON. OBVIOUSLY THE TESTS THAT WE'RE USING RIGHT NOW AND, UH, MATHEMATICS WAS MORE DIFFICULT BECAUSE EVERYBODY SCORES DROPPED. IT WASN'T JUST OURS. NOW I'M NOT SAYING THAT'S A GOOD THING THAT IT'S NOT THAT WE CAN'T DO BETTER AND CAN'T INCREASE. BUT I THINK WHEN YOU'RE COMPARING APPLES AND ORANGES, IT'S HARD TO SAY OUR SCORES HAVE GONE DOWN STEADILY BECAUSE WE HAD A DIFFERENT TEST . AND THE WAY THE TEST WAS ADMINISTERED WAS DIFFERENT YEAR TO YEAR. SO I THINK THE WHOLE THING MAKES IT IF THEY CAN'T FIND SOMETHING TO STICK WITH, WHERE WE CAN COMPARE YEAR AFTER YEAR, IT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT FOR US. AGAIN NOBODY LIKES THAT.

IT'S A 35% PROFICIENCY ON A TEST . BUT ON THE OTHER HAND, YOU CAN'T HAVE A TEST WHERE EVERYBODY GETS AN A AND GET ANY GOOD RESULTS FROM IT, BECAUSE THAT DOESN'T SHOW YOU WHERE YOU'RE GROWING EITHER. JUST SOME COMMENTS QUESTION AS FAR AS THE GRANULARITY OF DATA THAT YOU

[02:50:05]

GET. ARE YOU ABLE TO GET INFORMATION. GRANULAR DATA TO LOOK AT WHAT AREAS IN MATHEMATICS ARE YOU HAVING DIFFICULTIES WITH VISIT DIVISION ? OR IS IT YOU KNOW, IS IT YOU KNOW, FACTORING OR YOU KNOW WHAT IS THERE? IS THERE INFORMATION THAT YOU GET ADDITIONAL THAT YOU CAN HELP WITH DECIDING HOW TO FOCUS YOUR CURRICULUM THAT THAT'S AN EXCELLENT QUESTION.

YES, WE DO SO THE STATE PROVIDES US NOT ONLY A SCALE SCORE, BUT WE GET OTHER SCALE SCORES AND OTHER PROFICIENCY LEVELS WITHIN FEBRUARY'S DOMAINS FOR MATHEMATICS THAT WOULD BE IN CONTENT MODELING AND REASONING. AND THEN WE CAN ACTUALLY SEE WHERE OF THE THREE AREAS WHERE DOES THE STUDENTS HAVE STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES? IN THE L. A WE ALSO HAVE THE SAME SCORES. WE HAVE THE WRITING PORTION OF THE TEST, WHICH IS TWO THIRDS OF THE TEST. WE HAVE. EXCUSE ME. THE READING IS TWO THIRDS OF THE TEST. THE WRITING SCORE IS ONE THIRD OF THE TEST, AND WE KNOW HOW CLOSELY READING AND WRITING ARE ALIGNED. SO THOSE SCORES ARE SEPARATED. AND THEN UNDER THERE , THERE ARE DIFFERENT SUB SCORES AS WELL. SO WE CAN ACTUALLY PINPOINT WITH A LOT OF ACCURACY, STUDENT'S STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES. AND SIMILARLY FOR SCIENCE. SCIENCE REPORTS COME OUT DOWN TO THE EVIDENCE STATEMENT LEVEL AS MR X REPORTED , AND THAT PROVIDES TEACHERS AND THE CURRICULUM OFFICE WITH A VERY MUCH GREATER THE LEVEL OF DETAIL. MS ALVAREZ IN TERMS OF SPECIFIC LESSON OBJECTIVES IN WHICH CAN HELP GUIDE IMPROVEMENTS TO CURRICULUM, DEVELOPMENT, TEACHER SUPPORT AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. THE INNER ORBIT ASSESSMENT SYSTEM THAT MR EEK SPOKE TO IN TERMS OF OUR ELEMENTARY, MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL PILOT. IS INTENDED TO BOLSTER THAT TYPE OF DATA TO BETTER ARM OUR TEACHERS, IF YOU WILL, WITH MORE ONGOING SOURCES OF DATA DAY DATA TO HELP DRIVE THOSE TYPES OF IMPROVEMENTS THAT YOU'RE SPEAKING OF. MR SEWELL.

YES SO THANK YOU ALL FOR THE PRESENTATION. SOMETHING THAT'S NOT, UM SHOWN HERE. IS, UH, SOME SORT OF INFORMATION ON RESOURCES THAT THE DIFFERENT COUNTIES HAVE YOU KNOW, FUNDING PER ON A PER PUPIL BASIS. CLASS SIZES. I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DON'T TALK ABOUT MUCH, BUT, UM, IT WAS DEFINITELY A CHALLENGE WITH THIS DISTRICT. IS THAT FOR 11 YEARS STRAIGHT, WE HAD THE COMPOSITIONS. DUE TO CHRONIC UNDERFUNDING. UM, AND THE ONLY THING THAT CHANGED THAT WAS COVID. UNTIL LOTS OF MONEY FLOWED INTO THE SYSTEM. WE WERE ABLE TO THEN START HIRING BACK THIS POSITIONS. MM. SO KEEPING THAT IN MIND. PERFORMANCE. ISN'T SOMETHING THAT CAN BE CHANGED IN A WEEK. RIGHT YOU'RE GROWING THE STUDENT OVER YEARS. UM, SO YOU KNOW WHEN A SCHOOL SYSTEM HAS TO CUT POSITIONS YEAR AFTER YEAR. LEADING TO, YOU KNOW, POOR PERFORMANCE. AMONG THE STUDENTS , AND THEN FINALLY WE GET A CHANCE TO START BUILDING IT BACK. IT'S GOING TO TAKE SOME TIME RIGHT TO BUILD THAT CAPACITY WITH OUR TEACHERS. UM I THINK I HEARD THAT ALMOST A THIRD OF OUR MATH IS MATH TEACHERS. SCHOOL MATH AREN'T TENURED. SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? THAT MEANS THAT THEIR FIRST YEAR , SECOND YEAR OR ON THEIR THIRD YEAR OF TEACHING, RIGHT, SO YOU'RE GROWING THAT RESOURCE UM WHAT I'M SAYING IS THAT HOW? HOW IMPORTANT IS WHAT I'M SAYING. TO WHAT WHAT YOU'RE SEEING. WELL, I CAN. CERTAINLY TAKE A STAB AT THAT AND THINK BACK TO SEVERAL YEARS BACK. EACH OF OUR DEPARTMENTS HAD TO SECONDARY CURRICULUM SPECIALISTS ASSIGNED TO EACH MAJOR CONTENT AREA AND DUE TO BUDGET CUTS THAT WAS BROUGHT DOWN TO ONE AND ONE INDIVIDUAL THAT EACH OF THESE DEPARTMENT HAS THEY DO TREMENDOUS WORK, BUT WITH TWO ADDITIONAL PEOPLE TOTAL OF TWO PEOPLE ON STAFF TO PROVIDE THAT DAY TO DAY SUPPORT TO TEACHERS.

IT IS TRULY CRITICALLY IMPORTANT TO THEIR SUCCESS, SO THAT WOULD BE ONE AREA OF NEED THAT I WOULD CALL OUT WITH REGARD TO THE BUDGET. BUT ALSO SAY JUST THE INCREASE IN CONDITIONALLY CERTIFIED TEACHERS OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS HAS HAD AN IMPACT. UM, AND IN 2018. WE DID LOSE A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF THE INSTRUCTIONAL COACHES. WE CALL THEM NOW MENTORS AT THE TIME WHO SUPPORTED WHO SUPPORT OUR NON TENDER TEACHERS. AND SO IN THAT SCHOOL YEAR, WE HAD EIGHT TO SUPPORT. UM OVER 700 NOT TENURED TEACHERS, AND SO IS OUR CONDITIONAL. TEACHERS COME IN.

MANY OF THEM HAVE DO THEY DO NOT HAVE COURSEWORK OR INTERNSHIP EXPERIENCES WITH TEACHING, SO THEY'RE REALLY LEARNING TO TEACH. UM COMPLETELY ON THE JOB , AND SO WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GROW SOME OF THOSE POSITIONS AND WE ARE VERY GRATEFUL FOR THAT. BUT THAT HAS BEEN IN RECENT

[02:55:03]

HISTORY. YES SO I GUESS MY POINT IS, YOU KNOW WE KEEP WE ASK, WHAT CAN WE DO TO IMPROVE STUDENT SCORES? WELL. WE NEED THE RESOURCES TO DO IT. FAMOUS AND THOSE RESOURCES WERE GROWING OVER TIME. AH YOU KNOW, THERE'S NON TENURED TEACHERS. IT'S GONNA TAKE SOME TIME. FOR THEM TO BECOME YOU KNOW? JUST INCREASE REALLY AFFECTED LIKE SUPER EFFICIENT IN THE CLASSROOM, YOU KNOW, REALLY CONNECTING WITH THE STUDENTS, THAT TYPE OF THING. UM SO YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE THINGS I NOTICED THAT WAS KIND OF STRIKING IS ON THE SLIDE, WHERE IT'S THE MIDDLE AND HIGH ALGEBRA ONE COMPARISON OTHER COUNTIES HOWARD COUNTY. UH, HAD 32% PROFICIENCY VERSUS R 14. WHAT ARE THEY DOING? DIFFERENT DIFFERENTLY THAN US. SO HOWARD COUNTY, THEY DO HAVE A MUCH LARGER SUPPORT STAFF. I DON'T HAVE EXACT NUMBERS, BUT MANY OF THEIR BUILDINGS ACTUALLY HAVE A RESOURCE TEACHER OR MENTOR. TEACHER. UM SPECIFIC TO MATHEMATICS ASSIGNED TO THAT BUILDING TO WORK WITH THOSE TEACHERS. GREAT WELL, I REALLY APPRECIATE THE PRESENTATION AND THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU DO AND OUR TEAMS AND I KNOW THAT KIND OF STRETCHED THIN IN MANY PLACES TO PUSH THAT STUDENT PERFORMANCE. SO, UH, YOU KNOW? TRUST ME. I KNOW HOW MUCH YOU'RE DOING, AND THE TEAMS ARE DOING WITH SO LITTLE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. CAN I? JUST A COUPLE OF SORRY GUYS, YOU WOULD LOOK LIKE YOU WERE ITCHING TO GO. BUT I WANTED TO SO WE TOUCHED ON A LOT TONIGHT. UM. WE HAVE A LOT OF EXCUSES. WE COULD GO ON WITH EXCUSES, RIGHT? OUR TEST CHANGE. 11 YEAR HISTORY OF CUTTING BUDGETS DIDN'T TURN AROUND. THAT WAS UNTIL FY 20 TEACHER SHORTAGE. MORE NON TENURED TEACHERS. UM. LAST I HEARD WE WERE 24TH IN THE STATE IN TERMS OF PER PUPIL FUNDING. THAT'S IN 24 DISTRICTS. I THINK WE MAYBE 21 22 NOW BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T RELEASED THAT REPORT RECENTLY. UM HOWARD COUNTY IS NOT IN THE BOTTOM HALF. BUT. ALL THOSE EXCUSES ASIDE A. I MEAN, YOU SEE, YOU SEE WHERE WE DID KIND OF RANK WISE ON THESE ASSESSMENTS. YOU DIDN'T SEE ANY NUMBERS IN THE HIGH TEENS OR TWENTIES WERE PERFORMING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PACK. WILL. SOME OF THE WHAT THE SORT OF SLIMMEST RESOURCES IN THE STATE. THAT BEING SAID OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS WE HAD A CHANCE TO GROW WITH THE STAFF. WE'VE HAD A CHANCE TO INVEST IN A STAFF. HAD A CHANCE TO BRING BACK SOME OF THE SUPPORTS FOR TEACHERS AND SUBSEQUENTLY SUPPORTS FOR STUDENTS THAT WERE CUT DURING THAT 11 STRAIGHT YEARS. HE SCORES ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH. WE'RE NOT SATISFIED. I THINK EVERYONE UP THERE IS NODDING THE HEAD. THEY KNOW THAT WE KNOW THAT. I SEE A LOT OF GREAT WORK GOING ON. YOU KNOW, I TALKED.

REALLY I ABSOLUTELY APPRECIATE THE WORK GOING ON AROUND READING . I SEE FANTASTIC THINGS THAT WOULDN'T BE SUPPORTING THE WORK. WE'RE DOING THIS CURRICULUM IF IT DIDN'T LOOK SO STRONG. UM AND I'M JUST TEAM. A. I'M HOPEFUL ABOUT THIS YEAR'S TESTS. MOSTLY I'M LOOKING BECAUSE I DON'T MATH TEST IS STILL CHANGING. UH UM. SO WE'RE NOT GOING TO GET A GREAT READ ON THAT. BUT UM, I DO KNOW THAT'S AN AREA. I MEAN, JUST TO BE COMPLETELY FRANK. I MEAN, JOAN'S HAD, UNFORTUNATELY HEAR ME SAY EVERY YEAR GUYS WERE DOING LITERACY. OUR ENERGY IS 90% LITERACY, AND JOAN'S HAD TO TRY TO MAKE DO WITH WHAT'S LEFT OF THE TRAINING SCHEDULE AND THE TIME TO FOCUS AND SHE DOES A GREAT JOB. ON BUT WITH THAT SAID, WE ARE FOCUSED ON READING. AND UM, I DO BELIEVE WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO SEE OUR READING SCORES IMPROVED. BUT ANOTHER. LEGACY OF BOTH COVID BUT ALSO FOCUS. IN THE SCHOOL SYSTEM HAS TO DO WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF CERTAIN GROUPS OF STUDENTS. WE HEARD. ENDLESSLY GOING THROUGH COVID THAT PARTICULARLY STUDENTS AND POVERTY, AND STUDENTS IN NON WHITE POPULATION STRUGGLED MORE. DURING THE PANDEMIC THAN OTHER STUDENTS. AND NOT ONLY DOES THAT CONTINUE TO BE THE CASE, BUT MY CONCERN IS IN HARTFORD THAT'S ACTUALLY GOTTEN WORSE. AND THE GAP BETWEEN OUR. ALL CATEGORY AND PARTICULARLY OUR BLACK STUDENTS HAS GROWN. UM MORE THAN

[03:00:06]

IT'S GROWN IN THE STATE, AND THAT IS A HUGE CONCERN FOR ME. AND I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS CONNECTED TO THAT. I MEAN, THERE'S SOME CRITICISM FOR SPENDING TIME ON THINGS LIKE RACE AND EQUITY. UM BUT WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT OUR STUDENTS ARE DEALING WITH. WE NEED ALL OF OUR STAFF TO UNDERSTAND WHAT OUR STUDENTS ARE DEALING WITH SO THEY CAN ADDRESS. THIS ISN'T JUST TO MAKE EVERYONE FEEL BETTER. THIS IS BECAUSE OUR DATA ARE SHOWING US. WE HAVE SIGNIFICANT NEEDS, PARTICULARLY AROUND THE AREAS OF ADDRESSING THE UNDERPERFORMANCE OF STUDENTS IN CERTAIN GROUPS. SO UNDERSTANDING. RACE AND EQUITY. IT IS. A BIG PART OF TRYING TO ACHIEVE BETTER RESULTS FOR OUR STUDENTS, OUR STUDENTS WHO ARE PERFORMING AT THE SAME LEVEL AS OTHERS. WE NEED TO CONTINUE THAT WORK. I'VE TALKED TO OUR LEADERSHIP ABOUT THAT KIND OF SHARED SOME OF THE DATA. WE HAVE A LOT TO DO THERE. UM I HAVE GREAT CONFIDENCE IN THIS TEAM.

AS I SAID, I I'M HOPEFUL ABOUT THE SCORES. WE'RE GOING TO SEE THIS SPRING. BUT DON'T UM. MIX UP, HOPEFUL AND SATISFIED. UM I DO HAVE EVERY CONFIDENCE WE'RE GOING TO SEE BETTER SCORES, BUT WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE SATISFIED. BECAUSE WE HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO FOR A STUDENTS. BUT TEAM THANK YOU. FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. THERE IS A LOT OF GREAT WORK GOING ON. UM, WE KNOW WE HAVE MORE TO DO. NEXT WE'RE MOVING ON TO ITEM H PRESENTATION ON PROPOSED

[H. Presentation on Proposed Revisions and Renaming of Board Policy 20-0037-000 Wellness , Mr. Joseph Harbert,Director of Health and Wellness, Ms. Kristen Sudzina, Supervisor of Food and Nutrition, and Kimberly H. Neal, Esq.,General Counsel]

REVISIONS AND RENAMING OF BOARD POLICY. 20 DISH 0037-0. WELLNESS I'M GOING TO ASK FOR MR JOE HARVARD. MISS KRISTEN XENA AND KIMBERLY NEAL. SORRY, KRISTEN. HOW DO YOU SAY YOUR LAST NAME? SUSANNA OKAY, I DIDN'T DO THAT BAD THAN ANY OF US, OKAY? THANK YOU. SO AS WITH MANY OF THE POLICIES THAT WE COME AND PRESENT TO YOU ALL FOR REVISION , AND THIS IS A POLICY THAT NEEDED PROVISIONS BOTH FROM A TIMING STANDPOINT, THE LAST AMENDMENT WAS BACK IN 2017, BUT ALSO BECAUSE THERE WERE SOME, UM LEGAL AND M STE RELATED UPDATES . AND SO, AS YOU SAID, WE HAVE, UM, HARBOR WITH US. HE'S THE DIRECTOR OF HEALTH AND WELLNESS. HE'S GOING TO SPEAK TO SOME OF THE CHANGES IN THE POLICY RELATING TO PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH. AND THEN MISS KRISTIN SUSANNA, WHO IS OUR SUPERVISOR, FOOD NUTRITION, WHO WILL SPEAK TO CHANGES IN THE POLICY RELATED TO FOOD AND NUTRITION. UM THIS IS A POLICY THAT, UM WE ALSO WERE RECOMMENDING THAT WE RENAME TO HEALTH AND WELLNESS, NOT JUST WELLNESS, BECAUSE AS YOU'LL SEE IN THE POLICY ITSELF, HEALTH IS OBVIOUSLY A TOPIC. UM AND THIS WAS, UM THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF GOOD WORK DONE BY BOTH OF THESE AND MY COLLEAGUES HERE ON THE UPDATES, AND THIS WAS ALSO PRESENTED TO OUR POLICY REVIEW COMMITTEE LAST MONTH. AND SO DR MUELLER AND HIS BRUCE ARE ALSO FAMILIAR WITH SOME OF THE CHANGES AND AS WE TALK THROUGH, SO I WILL HAND THIS OVER TO THEM AND KIND OF GET OUT OF YOUR WAY AS YOU WANT TO GO THROUGH THE CHANGES. AWESOME. GOOD EVENING, EVERYBODY. UM THIS WAS ALSO PRESENTED OUR SCHOOL HEALTH COUNCIL EARLIER IN THE YEAR. WE REVIEW THIS WITH THAT GROUP AND GOT FEEDBACK FROM THEM. SCHOOL HEALTH COUNCIL IS MADE UP OF SCHOOL MEMBERS, COMMUNITY PARTNERS AND PARENTS AS WELL. SO I'LL REVIEW SOME OF THE UPDATES . AND AS MS NEAL SAID, ANYTHING RELATED TO PHYSICAL EDUCATION, HEALTH, I WILL COVER AND KRISTEN WILL JUMP IN ON SOME OF THE FOOD NUTRITION ASPECTS. THE PURPOSE OF OUR HEALTH AND WELLNESS POLICY IS TO PROVIDE DIRECTION TO HAVE A KIND OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS FOR PROMOTING STUDENT HEALTH AND WELL BEING AND EDUCATING THE WHOLE CHILD. AND REALLY, TO FULFILL THE REQUIREMENTS OF PUBLIC LEVEL 1 11-296, WHICH IS HEALTHY, HUNGER FREE KIDS ACT OF 2010. THIS POLICY IS REALLY A GENERAL OVERVIEW THAT STEERS DEPARTMENTAL PROCEDURES. SPECIFICALLY RELATED TO FOOD NUTRITION. THERE'S COMPLIANCE WITH SPECIFIC RULES AND REGULATIONS PER THE U S. D A AND M S D. SO WE'RE COMING TO THE BOARD TONIGHT BECAUSE WE'RE TRY ANNUAL ASSESSMENT. THAT'S AN ASSESSMENT OF THE WELLNESS POLICY THAT IS COMPLETED EVERY THREE YEARS BY MSD. IT WAS ORIGINALLY REVIEWED AS PART OF THE TRAIN YOU ASSESSMENT IN THE SPRING OF 2021 FEEDBACK WAS PROVIDED UNNECESSARY CHANGES.

THE POLICY WAS REVIEWED AGAIN BY MSD AS PART OF THE FOOD HCPS FOOD NUTRITION ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW CONDUCTED IN NOVEMBER, 2021 TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED IN A CORRECTIVE ACTION

[03:05:05]

PLAN WAS COMPLETED. WE WORKED WITH HIM AS THE E INAPPROPRIATE TIMELINE FOR THE UPDATE OF THE POLICY WITH THE ANTICIPATED COMPLETION DATE OF SEPTEMBER 30TH 2023. WITH THAT WE'VE ADDED AND ADJUSTED OUR LANGUAGE IN THE POLICY FOR CONSISTENCY AND CLARITY TO BETTER REFLECT HOW IT IMPLEMENTS AND PROVIDES GUIDANCE. FROM THIS POLICY, SO I WILL GO OVER SOME OF THOSE UPDATES NOW ON THE FIRST PAGE. JUST A SLIGHT UPDATE THEIR UNDER IN INTERSCHOLASTIC ATHLETICS. WE WANTED TO REFLECT OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL ATHLETICS PROGRAM, WHICH IS WILL START AT THIS YEAR, AND WE'VE HAD TREMENDOUS SUCCESS WITH THAT. WE'RE REALLY EXCITED. ALONG WITH ATHLETICS JUST TO HIGHLIGHT OUR SPORTS FOR LIFE PROGRAM, WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN IN EXISTENCE FOR SEVERAL YEARS, AND I WOULD SAY IF YOU HAVE NOT HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE OR VIEW A SPORTS FOR LIFE PROGRAM IS AN AMAZING EVENT. UM, ARE STUDENTS OF ALL ABILITIES THEY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO COMPETE IN ATHLETIC EVENTS WITH THEIR PEERS AND CLASSMATES. IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY. ADDITIONALLY WE ADDED FOOD AND BEVERAGE AND SCHOOL MEALS UNDER THE DEFINITIONS TO CLEARLY DEFINED ACCESS TO FOOD AND BEVERAGE WITHIN THE ENTIRE SCHOOL SYSTEM , AS WELL AS THOSE INCLUDED THROUGH THE SCHOOL MEALS PROGRAM. AND WE ADDED A STATEMENT UNDER NUTRITION EDUCATION THAT PROMOTES AND TEACHES KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS RELATED TO NUTRITION AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY. IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE WHEN WE STRIKE THROUGH THE ORDER TO ACHIEVE POSITIVE CHANGES IN DIETARY PHYSICAL ACTIVITY. AND ALSO WE ADDED A STATEMENT UNDER SCHOOL BASED WELLNESS TEAMS. AH AFTER COMPLIANCE TO ADD AND COLLABORATE WITH SCHOOL PERFORMANCE AND ACHIEVEMENT TEAM AT EACH SCHOOL. AND LASTLY, ON THAT PAGE. UH, WE ADDED THE TITLE OF THE SCHOOL PERFORMANCE COORDINATOR PREVIOUSLY THAT WAS TITLED SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT COORDINATOR. WE DID MAKE SOME REVISIONS UNDER THE HEALTH EDUCATION. PRIOR TO THIS REVIEW , THERE WAS A STATEMENT REFLECTIVE TO SCHOOL SHALL MAKE A REASONABLE EFFORT TO MAKE FOOD AND BEVERAGE ADVERTISEMENTS THAT ALIGN WITH HEALTHY NUTRITIONAL PRACTICES THAT DIDN'T FIT UNDER THAT CATEGORY. SO IT WAS MOVED TO ANOTHER CATEGORY THAT KRISTEN WILL SPEAK TO AND WE ADDED TO CLARIFYING STATEMENTS THREE AND FOUR, JUST REALLY TO IDENTIFY THAT THE HEALTH EDUCATION PROGRAM IS CONDUCTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH STATE REGULATION. AND IS ALIGNED WITH NATIONAL AND STATE STANDARDS, AND THAT ALSO MEETS GRADES NINE THROUGH 12 HEALTH EDUCATION IN GRADES 9 TO 12. SHE ENABLES STUDENTS TO MEET THE HEALTH EDUCATION GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS AND ALSO FOR NON DIPLOMA BOUND STUDENTS. UNDER THE PHYSICAL EDUCATION PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS. WE MODIFIED STATEMENT TO, UH TO REFLECT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL PHYSICAL EDUCATION SHALL BE PROVIDED DAILY SUBJECT TO EXCEPTIONS FOR ELECTIVES AND OTHER ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS ARE CURRENT STATEMENT REFLECTS, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF BANK COURSE ORCHESTRA STUDENTS WORKING WITH THE MIDDLE SCHOOL INNOVATIONS GROUP THEY PRESENTED TO OUR SCHOOL HEALTH COUNCIL. THERE'S THE OPPORTUNITY IN THE FUTURE FOR UM, STUDENTS TO BE ABLE TO TAKE ADDITIONAL COURSES, SO WE WANTED TO HAVE THAT FLEXIBILITY IN THERE AS WELL. WE ALSO ADDED SOME CLARIFYING STATEMENTS UNDER PHYSICAL EDUCATION PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS. THAT PHYSICAL EDUCATION PROGRAM IS THE PLAN SEQUENTIAL CURRICULUM. TAUGHT BY CERTIFIED PHYSICAL EDUCATION PROFESSIONALS THAT TEACHES SKILLS, KNOWLEDGE AND ATTITUDES , WHICH WE NEEDED TO ESTABLISH AND LEAD A PHYSICALLY ACTIVE LIFE. AND THAT THE PHYSICAL EDUCATION PROGRAM IS CONDUCTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE STATE REGULATIONS AND ALIGNED WITH NATIONAL AND STATE STANDARDS.

UNDER FOOD AND BEVERAGES. WE SHIFTED RELEVANT POLICY COMPONENT NOT LISTED ORIGINALLY.

SO THAT WAS THAT ADVERTISEMENT PIECE. WE ALSO CLARIFIED LANGUAGE TO CURRENT AREAS AND EXPANDED THAT BURBAGE SPECIFICALLY REFERENCING AREAS RELATED TO FOOD AND BEVERAGES THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL DAY. YOU NOTICE THAT WE'VE ADDED SCHOOLS MAY NOT WITHHOLD FOOD AS PUNISHMENT, INCLUDING FOODS OR THROUGH THE SCHOOL MEALS PROGRAM. ALSO, CLASSROOM CELEBRATIONS MUST COINCIDE WITH CURRENT CURRICULUM AND BE COMMUNICATED APPROPRIATELY TO PARENTS AND GUARDIANS. AND THIRDLY, FOOD SOLD TO STUDENTS ON SCHOOL PREMISES DURING SCHOOL HOURS, INCLUDING THROUGH VENDING MACHINES, SCHOOL STORES, FUNDRAISERS AND OTHER SALES WILL MEET OR EXCEED FEDERAL AND MARYLAND NUTRITION STANDARDS AND NOT COMPETE WITH THE SCHOOL MEALS PROGRAM. PRIMARILY NUTRITION. STANDARDS OF SCHOOL DAY BEGINS AT 12 01 AM OF ANY SCHOOL DAY AND RUNS THROUGH 30 MINUTES AFTER THE END OF THE SCHOOL DAY. AND THEN, ADDITIONALLY SCHOOL MEALS. WE ADDED THAT AS A MAIN POLICY STATEMENT WITH AN OVERVIEW OF THE PROGRAM'S MISSION OVERSIGHT REGULATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS. IN ORDER THIS SECTION WITH STUDENT SERVICES. WE WANTED TO ADD SOCIAL WORKERS TO BE REFLECTED IN THAT SUPPORT STAFF, OUR CURRENT POLICY, STATE SCHOOL COUNSELING AND PSYCHOLOGICAL SERVICES, SO WE WANTED TO

[03:10:02]

REFLECT THAT SOCIAL WORKER ASPECT AS WELL. AND ALSO ADD THE STATEMENT THAT HARPER COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS HAS PARTNERED WITH OUTSIDE MENTAL HEALTH AGENCIES TO PROVIDE SCHOOL BASED MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT TO STUDENTS. IN GRADES K THROUGH 12. UM I DID WANT TO ADD 11 JUST COMMENT AS WELL TO THE PRESENTATION TIMES. YOU HEARD SOME LANGUAGE THAT WAS KIND OF IT SOUNDS GENERIC. BUT IT SAYS WE'RE GOING TO COMPLY WITH STATE REGULATIONS AND ALIGN WITH NATIONALIST STATE STANDARDS. AND SOMETIMES THAT TYPE OF LANGUAGE IS THERE BECAUSE SO WE GET UPDATES REGULARLY WHEN THE LAW CHANGES AND THE LAW MIGHT CHANGE BEFORE WE ACTUALLY I WANT TO ARE ABLE TO GO IN AND LIKE, FIX THE POLICY. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? SO WHEN WE HAVE SORT OF A WHAT SEEMS LIKE A GENERIC STATEMENT, IT REALLY JUST MEANS THAT THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO KEEP GOING BACK AND CHANGE THE SPECIFIC CITATION ON ALL THAT. BUT WE CERTAINLY DO. STAY UP TO DATE ON IT. AND MSD ACTUALLY DOES SEND US. UM, SOMETIMES WHEN YOU MUST CHANGE YOUR POLICY OR HERE TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE AWARE OF THESE NEW KIND OF TWEAKS IN THE WALL, AND THEN WE ROLL THAT OUT, TOO. SO I JUST WANT TO MENTION THAT BUT THIS IS A POLICY OF COURSE, THAT WE'VE GO OUT FOR PUBLIC COMMENT.

UM AND FOR 30 DAYS, SO, 30 DAYS FROM NOW THAT WHATEVER THE NEXT BOARD MEETING WOULD BE WOULD BE WHEN THIS COULD COME UP FOR A VOTE. AND AS YOU ALL KNOW, IF, UM THE BOARD WANTS TO MAKE SUBSTANTIVE CHANGES, THEN THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD WORK THROUGH, AND IT WOULD GO BACK OUT FOR PUBLIC COMMENT OR IF THE BOARD IS READY TO ACCEPT WITH MINOR CHANGES OR, AS IS, THEN IT WOULD GO AHEAD AND GET VOTED ON, SO THIS COULD BE IN PLACE. IF THERE'S ANY OTHER THOUGHTS OR QUESTIONS. COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS. I JUST HAVE ONE QUESTION ON PARAGRAPH. I WERE.

IT SAYS THAT, UM HCPS IS PARTNERED WITH OUTSIDE MENTAL HEALTH AGENCIES. COULD YOU DESCRIBE A LITTLE BIT MORE? THOSE PARTNERSHIPS AND, UM, THE PARTNERSHIPS THAT ACCESS. IT'S ON PAGE 13. SO WE CURRENTLY HAVE NO US WITH 10 PROVIDERS THAT SERVICE ALL OF OUR SCHOOLS, AND SOME OF THAT COULD BE TELEHEALTH AND WE DO HAVE AGENCIES THAT COME AND WILL WORK WITH FAMILIES. WITH WHEN REFERRALS WERE MADE FROM SCHOOL BASED STAFF TO THOSE OUTSIDE AGENCIES.

SO A REFERRAL BE MADE, AND THEN THEN THAT YOU'LL WORK IN CONJUNCTION WITH PROVIDER WILL WORK WITH THE FAMILY'S FAMILY. SOME FAMILIES DON'T HAVE A MEANS, IF THERE'S ISSUES WITH INSURANCE UM. THREE THROUGH ANY AVENUE OF THOSE MEANS, UH, OUR COUNSELORS OR PSYCHOLOGIST OR SOCIAL WORKER WILL WORK WITH THOSE FAMILIES THROUGH THE REFERRAL PROCESS. SOMETIMES THEY WILL MEET WITH THE STUDENTS OUTSIDE OF THE SCHOOL DAY. SOMETIMES THEY WILL MEET WITH THE STUDENT DURING THE SCHOOL DAY, BUT IT'S IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE FAMILY AS WELL. THANK YOU. WE REALIZED THAT THE FORMATTING IS KIND OF WONKY ALL SAY ON THIS THAT NEEDS CORRECTING ONCE WE KIND OF FINALIZED, BUT I THINK ALSO THE POINT OF ADDING THAT IN WAS THAT PREVIOUSLY IT WAS TALKING ABOUT THE SCHOOL BASED STAFF. SO THE COUNSELORS AND THE PSYCHOLOGISTS AND THE NURSES SO ADDED IN WITH SOCIAL WORKERS, AND THEN ALSO THE STATEMENT THAT SOMETIMES SOME SITUATIONS THAT MIGHT BE THROWN OUTSIDE PARTNER UM. ARE YOU FINISHED? DIANE I'M SORRY. I WANT TO CUT YOU OFF. FINISHED THANKS. PAGE THREE OF SEVEN. UNDER THE HEALTH EDUCATION, A.

NUMBER ONE. IT SAYS THE ELEMENTARY HEALTH EDUCATION CURRICULUM IS TAUGHT TO ALL STUDENTS PRE K THROUGH FIVE UTILIZING THE GENERAL CURRICULUM COMMITTEE APPROVED HEALTH EDUCATION CURRICULUM AND NUMBER TWO. IT STATES THAT THESE CERTIFIED HEALTH EDUCATION TEACHERS SHALL PROVIDE COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH, EDUCATION AND ALL SECONDARY SCHOOLS UTILIZING THE GENERAL CURRICULUM COMMITTEE APPROVED HEALTH EDUCATION CURRICULUM. UM I THINK THAT WE NEED TO CHANGE THE GENERAL CURRICULUM COMMITTEE APPROVED AND MAKE THAT THE BOARD OF EDUCATION APPROVED BECAUSE PER UM, THE MARYLAND CODE ANNOTATED CODE. 4-111. IT STATES , THE CURRICULUM GUIDES AND COURSES OF STUDY. A IS SUBJECT TO THE APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF THIS ARTICLE AND BYLAWS. BASIC POLICIES AND GUIDELINES ARE TO BE ESTABLISHED BY THE STATE BOARD EACH COUNTY BOARD ON THE WRITTEN RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT SHELL NUMBER ONE ESTABLISHED CURRICULUM GUIDES OF COURSES OF STUDY FOR SCHOOLS UNDER ITS JURISDICTION, INCLUDING APPROPRIATE PROGRAMS OF INSTRUCTION FOR TRAINING FOR MENTALLY ILL. UM OR PHYSICALLY HANDICAPPED CHILDREN. AND THEN TO SUPPLY PRINTED COPIES OF THIS MATERIALS TO ANY TEACHER OR INTERESTED CITIZEN. AND THEN SECTION FOUR. ONE. OH ONE

[03:15:01]

CONTROL AND PROMOTION OF EDUCATION. FOR THE MARYLAND ANNOTATED CODE. ALSO STATES THAT , UM, SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF SIGHT OF FOUR. EXCUSE ME. SUBTITLE FOUR OF THIS ART THIS TITLE. EDUCATIONAL MATTERS THAT AFFECT THE COUNTY'S SHALL BE UNDER THE CONTROL OF THE COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION AND EACH COUNTY, AND EACH COUNTY SHALL SEEK IN EVERY WAY TO PROMOTE THE INTERESTS OF THE SCHOOLS UNDER ITS JURISDICTION. AND WE ALSO HAVE POLICIES IN PLACE THAT STATE THAT THE CURRICULUM IS SUPPOSED TO BE ADOPTED BY THE BOARD OF EDUCATION AND NOT COMMITTEES. SO I MOVED THAT WE CHANGED THAT FROM GENERAL CURRICULUM COMMITTEE APPROVED TO BOARD OF EDUCATION APPROVED HEALTH CURRICULUM. CAN I RESPOND? UM THIS. THE COMMITTEES ARE DESIGNED TO COME UP WITH THE PLAN THE PROGRAM WHATEVER TO PRESENT TO THE BOARD, BUT WE'RE NOT INVOLVED IN THE DAY TO DAY OPERATIONS OF COMING UP WITH A PLAN, BUT IT HAS TO BE APPROVED BY THE BOARD. SO ULTIMATELY IT DOES. I MEAN, WE'RE VOTING ON IT. WE HAVE TO VOTE ON THIS NEGATIVE IN 30 DAYS. BUT WE CHOOSE NOT TO IF WE CHOOSE TO SEND IT BACK TO THE CURRICULUM COMMITTEE. THEY GOTTA COME UP WITH A PLAN THAT SUITS THE MAJORITY OF THE BOARD MEMBERS.

THE CURRICULUM COMMITTEE IS IT STINKS RIGHT HERE THAT IT IS APPROVED HEALTH CURRICULUM FROM THE GENERAL CURRICULUM COMMITTEE, WHICH, UM, IT'S THEY HAVE TO APPROVE IT IN ORDER TO GET TO US. BUT THAT'S NOT THE PROCEDURE THAT'S BEING DONE. IT IS THEY'RE COMING TO US FOR OUR APPROVAL FOR THE POLICY THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT AT THE MOMENT. BUT THERE ARE HEALTH EDUCATION LETTERS THAT ARE GOING HOME TO STUDENTS STATING SPECIFICALLY THAT THE HEALTH CURRICULUM IS BEING APPROVED BY THE GENERAL CURRICULUM COMMITTEE AND NOT THE BOARD OF EDUCATION.

YOU CAN'T GO OUT TO LOOK STUDENTS UNTIL THE BOARD APPROVES IT. YEAH I BUT, DR RIGHT? I BELIEVE. WHAT WHAT MELISSA'S SAYING. THAT'S NOT WHAT THE POLICY SAYS. THE POLICY SAYS THAT IT'S APPROVED BY THE COMMITTEE. AND SO MAYBE JUST SOME VERB. IT'S THAT SAYS THAT THE COMMITTEE WILL BRING THE. UM EDUCATION CURRICULUM TO THE BOARD FOR APPROVAL. THAT'S WHAT THIS IS, BUT THAT THAT'S NOT WHAT IT SAID IN THE LESSON. I THINK, MISS HANA. MS ALVAREZ, A RIGHT THAT WHAT IT SAYS HERE ON PAGE UM IN THE STREET. IT IS. THE APPROVAL IS THE BOARD. NOW YES. THE GENERAL CURRICULUM COMMITTEE DOES APPROVE. TO BRING DIRECT MENDACIOUS TO THE SUPERINTENDENT AND ALSO IN THE STATUTE IS SUPERINTENDENT RECOMMENDS TO THE BOARD SO. GCC STILL DOES THE HEAVY LIFTING OF DETERMINING WHAT GOES IN THERE AND ALL OF THAT STUFF, BUT THE APPROVAL, SO I THINK THE LANGUAGE SHOULD ACTUALLY REFLECT THE STATE LAW TO SAY THAT THE APPROVAL BOARD APPROVED. IT'S NOT GCC APPROVED. SO I THINK MAKING THAT CHANGE IN THIS POLICY MAKES SENSE. UM. AND THEN THEN, THEN THEN, BUT BECAUSE YOU'RE KIND OF DESCRIBING THE SAME PATTERN, WHICH IS GCC DOES THE WORK DETERMINES WORKS THROUGH FIND OUT WHAT IT USED TO BE THERE. IT'S AND THAT IS AN ADMINISTRATIVE COMMITTEE. UM THAT MAKES THE RECOMMENDATION TO ME AND THEN IT COMES HERE. SO I THINK WE'RE ON THE SAME PAGE AND I THINK IT'S JUST GETTING IT ALIGNED WITH THAT PARTICULAR PART MAKES SENSE. SO WHAT? THAT AN EXPERT ON THIS BUT I THINK WE HAD A MOTION BUT NO SECOND, BUT WE JUMPED INTO DISCUSSION AND I DON'T KNOW THAT WE EVEN NEEDED A MOTION. I THINK WE COULD HAVE JUST DISCUSSED THIS. BUT RIGHT NOW WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR WITHOUT A 2ND 2ND THE MOTION. OKAY? NOW WE COULD HAVE DISCUSSION. CORRECT. THEY SHOULD BE THE TIME FOR DISCUSSION. I'M JUST SAYING. I'M TRYING TO DO THIS, RIGHT? PROBABLY RIGHT.

OKAY I'M TRYING TO DO IT. RIGHT POINT BEING THAT. I JUST I WANT TO GET CLARITY TO THAT WAS A MINUTE TO REMOVE THE LIKE THE GENERAL CURRICULUM COMMITTEE. REMOVE THOSE THREE WORDS AND REPLACE IT WITH BOARD OF EDUCATION. CORRECT. UNDER BOTH NUMBER ONE THAT CAN BE DONE BEFORE PRIOR. SO THEN, WHEN WE POST FOR PUBLIC COMMENT, IT WOULD HAVE THAT CHANGE IF YOU ALL WANT THAT CHANGE, WHICH YOU KNOW, I THINK IT'S YEAH, I THINK IT MAKES IT CLEARER. YES SO WE HAVE A MOTION IN THE SECOND FLOOR. IS THERE ANY MORE DISCUSSION OR SHALL WE TAKE A BOOK JUST FOR THAT, OR JUST FOR THAT? THAT'S THAT, YOU KNOW THE MOTION THAT SHE MADE. SHE MADE A MOTION TO CHANGE FROM GENERAL CURRICULUM COMMITTEE TO BOARD NOW WE COULD HAVE DONE THAT WITHOUT EMOTION, BUT WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND ON THE FLOOR , SO I NEED TO TAKE A VOTE ON IT. CORRECT YOU CAN. SHE CAN ALSO HAVE A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT TO THE MOTION. VERY MUCH. BUT WHAT IS SHE GOING TO AMEND? SHE'S GOING TO AMEND WHAT TO ADD . WHAT YOU WANTED TO ADD,

[03:20:04]

DOESN'T HAVE TO BE EMOTION. YOU COULD JUST ADD IT. WHAT I'M SAYING IS WE DIDN'T NEED A MOTION, BUT WE'VE GOT A MOTION TO DEAL WITH IT. YOU CAN'T AMEND IT. MOTION MOTION WASN'T JUST SPECIFIC FOR ONE AND TWO TO CHANGE GENERAL CURRICULUM COMMITTEE TO BOARD OF EDUCATION.

WE COULD HAVE JUST TALKED ABOUT IT, BUT WE DIDN'T OKAY, SO ALL IN FAVOR. SAY YES. YES, OPPOSED.

MOTION CARRIES. THANK YOU. WE WILL MAKE THAT CHANGE AND THEN HAVE IT POSTED TOMORROW, WHERE THE MOTION OF THE WHOLE THING JUST FOR THE RECORD RED. WE JUST SAID WE JUST FRIENDLY AMENDMENT JUST DID IT. BUT THIS THIS ACTUALLY, THIS ACTUALLY IS THAT THIS WHOLE THING DOESN'T HEAR IT DOESN'T NEED EMOTIONS ABOUT PUBLIC COMMENTS WE COULD HAVE. WE COULD HAVE JUST DISCUSSED. IT IS ALL I'M SAYING, RIGHT IF YOU WANTED TO MAKE A MOTION, AND WE DID IT THAT ONE NEXT TIME FOR FUTURE REFERENCE IF WE HAVE A COMMENT ON AMENDMENT. WE SHOULD JUST WE COULD JUST TALK ABOUT THAT. LIKE HEY, I HAVE. YEAH WE CAN IDEA WHEN IT'S OKAY. I DON'T CARE. I JUST DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE AN OPEN MOTION OF THE BOY TRYING YES. ON ON PAGE FOUR, AND FOOD AND BEVERAGES. UM. OKAY BEVERAGE. IT'S ABOUT THAT TIME. SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S IN THE SCHOOL VENDING MACHINES. BUT ARE WE PROMOTING HEALTHY EATING AND DRINKING HABITS IN THE SCHOOL VENDING MACHINES? E AVOIDANCE OF AS A STUDENT, NICOLA CAME TO BARS DORITOS THAT KIND OF STUFF. THEY'RE IN THERE. THEY'RE NOT.

THEY'RE IN THERE. THEY'RE NOT NEGATIVE THERE. IT'S YOU'D WALK IN. AND YOU'D BE LIKE WATER BOTTLES. OKAY. NORTH HARFORD HIGH SCHOOL, UH, VENDING MACHINES, BUT THERE'S NOTHING VERY EXCITING IN THAT. I'M ALL FOR IT. STUDENTS. SMART SNACKS. GOOD GOOD. THAT'S WHAT I MEANT.

SMART. GOOD FOR YOU. THANK YOU, QWERTY. I WOULD MAKE THE RECOMMENDATION BEFORE IT GOES OUT FOR A POOL THAT WE DO FIX THE FORMATTING AND THE THERE'S UM THE END OF SENTENCE. UM LET'S SAY ON PAGE. ONE OF ONE UNDER B COLON. THERE'S A COMMA. THERE'S NO PERIOD UNDER A B AND C UNDERSEA. THERE'S A PERIOD THE THERE'S NO PERIOD. I MEAN, THE PUNCTUATION REALLY NEEDS TO BE CLEANED UP. I THINK IT BEFORE IT GOES OUT. UM OBVIOUSLY, FORMATTING IS IMPORTANT ON WHERE THE SPACING IS OFF ON PAGE TWO G AND ON PAGE UH, KIDDING. I'M TRYING TO FOLLOW YOUR FOURTH.

THREE UM, NUMBER FOUR UNDER A, UM I JUST FIND IT HARD TO READ. UM THE AH PAGE. FIVE OF SEVEN. I FIND CONFUSING. IT'S A B AND THEN IT'S A ONE THE TWOS OVER THEN THERE'S I ON THE NEXT PAGE.

UM I JUST FIND IT HARD TO READ. AND JUST BECAUSE IT'S COMING FROM THE SCHOOL SYSTEM REALLY SHOULD BE CLEANED UP BEFORE IT GOES OUT. I THINK I'M JUST NITPICKING. I KNOW, BUT I REALLY WOULD GO THROUGH WITH A FINE TOOTH COMB. THANK YOU, MR CARLEE . THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SO I CAN MAKE THAT WITHOUT EMOTION. YOU CAN JUST TELL YOU THAT WE NEED THIS FIXED. WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR ENGLISH SUPERVISOR? WE COULD HAVE HER BACK AND TAKE CARE OF THIS FOR US. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, TERESA. I AGREE WITH YOU. I DON'T WANT IT TO GO OUT LOOKING SLOPPY EITHER.
