Mr. Heim, Steve Andritz, director of planning and construction, and Brad Snow, director of transportation, showed a PowerPoint highlighting enrollment numbers for growing neighborhoods in Mary H. Matula Elementary and Berry Elementary School zones that could cause additional overcrowding at the schools during the next year. Student enrollment at both Berry and Matula, is expected to decline with redistricting. Meantime, staff looked at enrollment numbers and showed that sending students from some neighborhoods to other schools a year in advance would relieve overcrowding at the two schools, however; it would cause overcrowding at some receiving schools, which are less able to accommodate additional students.

The overall fleet statistics include 357 as the total number of buses; 169 have cameras, which is 47.3 percent.

For spare special needs buses – there are a total of seven and one of those have a camera installed; 15 percent of the special needs spare buses have cameras and six need cameras.

A question-and-answer session ensued.

Board of Education of Charles County Meeting No. XVI-66-2018, April 17, 2018 Page 7 of 12 Update on activity buses

Mr. Heim, Mr. Snow, director of transportation, shared a PowerPoint on the history of activity bus ridership at the high school as of SY2014. Principals Kathy Pierrello of Henry E. Lackey High School, Rick Conley of St. Charles High School and Steven Roberts of Maurice J. McDonough High School, shared their views on the pros and cons of having one activity bus reinstated at their schools. They all felt that one activity bus would not adequately serve the needs of the students and it would make it difficult to supervise them. Other concerns expressed by the principals include having too many students needing a ride on only one bus; one bus would not be enough to cover the large geographic zone of St. Charles High School; logistical concerns, etc. According to the principals, school schedules, through one-hour lunches or activity periods, allow students to participate in extracurricular activities and clubs during the school day.

Following a detailed question-and-answer session ensued, the Board moved out of its regular agenda order.

This report will be an action item at the May Board meeting.

A brief question-and-answered session ensued.

Board of Education of Charles County Meeting No. XVI-66-2018, April 17, 2018 Page 10 of 12 18. LEGISLATIVE UPDATE

Eric Schwartz, staff attorney, updated the Board on the following bills:

SB 1122 Education – Commercial Gaming Revenues – Constitutional Amendment will place a referendum on the 2018 election ballot concerning establishing a constitutional requirement that funding in the Education Trust Fund from gaming revenues would have to be spent to supplement public education funding, phased in over time. If adopted, the first phase would provide $125 million in the FY 2020 budget, $250 million in FY 2021, $375 million in FY 2022, and the full amount (estimated to be about $500 million) in each subsequent year. HB 1783 21st Century School Facilities Act implements recommendations of the Knott Commission on school facilities, which includes amending the way school construction projects are approved. The bill removes the authority from the Board of Public Works (which included the Governor, the State Treasurer and the State Comptroller) and creates a new IAC to make the final determinations. The new IAC includes representatives appointed by the Governor, the Senate President, the House Speaker, several state secretaries, and the State Superintendent. The Governor vetoed the bill, but the veto was immediately overridden by the General Assembly. The bill also creates a School Safety Grant program to provide capital funding for public school safety projects

SB 1265 Maryland Safe to Learn Act of 2018 is the comprehensive school safety bill passed partly in response to Parkland and Great Mills. The bill would:

 Establish a state sub-cabinet to oversee the creation of a model policy and recommended practices  Require an expanded Maryland Center for School Safety to train and certify school safety coordinators in each school system  Require specific training of SROs  Require that every school have an assigned SRO or adequate coverage by an SRO  Require annual safety assessments for every school

The bill also requires school systems to designate a mental health services coordinator to oversee student referrals for assistance.

HB 1072 Education - Child Sexual Abuse Prevention - Instruction and Training would require school systems to develop procedures for adequate training on sexual child abuse, and would require the state to develop best practices for school facilities to reduce the opportunities for child sexual abuse.

SB 639 Education - Public School Personnel - Disciplinary Hearing Procedures, otherwise referred to as the grounds for discipline bill, would allow teachers to request binding arbitration on recommendations for their termination or suspension. The Governor vetoed the bill but the General Assembly overrode his veto.

Board of Education of Charles County Meeting No. XVI-66-2018, April 17, 2018 Page 11 of 12 HB 811 Education – Collective Bargaining – Exclusive Representative’s Access to New Employee Processing would allow the employee unions access to contact information of new employees.

HB 679/SB729 County Boards of Education - Length of School Year – Adjustments would allow the local board to extend the length of the school year for five days beyond June 15 without the need for a State Board waiver.

21. FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS

Mrs. Kelly asked if Board members had selected dates for a parent community town hall on a Saturday and an update on pre- and post-test results with graphs. Mrs. Hollstein said she would provide the information after the principals get a chance to review the graphs.

Mrs. Kelly shared Mrs. Abell’s requests including:  Exploring the possibility of removing the application process for North Point High Schools CTE/STI courses that are also offered at home zone schools  Student pass rate for CTE students and where they go after high school; to include the dropout rates per CTE  Research into the website parentsasteachers.org. to reach out to parents and caregivers; and  The possibility of adding administrative personnel to the counseling office work on students’ schedules which would free up counselors to counsel.

Mr. Lukas asked Mrs. Hollstein and Steve Lee, coordinator of student activities, for an update on the total cost to provide athletics to students, including uniforms, coaches, transportation, security, insurance, etc.

Mrs. McGraw questioned if there had been a consensus of the Board to hold a parent town hall on a Saturday. After some discussion:
