  • Dear Superintendent Michael Martirano, Assistant Superintendent
    Dear Superintendent Michael Martirano, Assistant Superintendent Karalee Turner-Little, Board of Education Chair Mavis Ellis, Board of Education Vice Chair Vicky Cutroneo, Board of Education Member Kirsten Coombs, Board of Education Member Christina Delmont-Small, Board of Education Member Jennifer Mallo, Board of Education Member Sabina Taj, Board of Education Member Chao Wu, And all Principals of Howard County Schools, We are reaching out to you on behalf of current and former students of the Howard County Public School System, regarding racism within our community. Given the recent senseless murders of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, George Floyd, and countless other Black people, it is important to address how the Howard County Public School System has upheld structural and institutional racism in its schools. We must ensure that People of Color in the HCPSS community are heard and advocated for. HCPSS has a duty to provide their students with safe learning environments, where they receive equal education and adequate representation within that environment. The actions we have seen from HCPSS thus far are inadequate in addressing racism within the community and ensuring that Black students feel safe and represented in their communities. Regarding the June 4th statement from the superintendent regarding hateful incidences, we believe that simply addressing reported incidences of racial biases is not sufficient. Not all students who experience discrimination in the HCPSS school system feel comfortable reporting incidents of racism, so there are undoubtedly countless cases that go unnoticed and unaddressed. Punishing reported instances of racism is not enough. We need to dismantle the White supremacist notions that fuel these incidences.

  • 302 E West Street Baltimore, MD 21230 This Evening to Testify In
    Sarah Lane 302 E West Street Baltimore, MD 21230 Good evening, Council Chairman Ball and members of the County Council. My name is Sarah Lane, and I live in Federal Hill, and I work in Columbia. I am here this evening to testify in support of both the Joint Recommendations on Affordable Housing and on the public financing for roads and public parking garage. My support for the legislation is personal. I would like the option of being able to live in an affordable apartment in an area that includes restaurants and shopping and things to do within walking distance. It would be great if that affordable apartment didn't require me to spend so much time on 95 going to and from work. I like my job in Columbia, but rent isn't the only reason I don't live here. Columbia is primarily a suburban community which is great for families but not as attractive to people my age. We prefer a more urban style of living with many more activities and people around. That is in the plans for Downtown Columbia, and the sooner the better. I can see that Downtown Columbia is becoming more interesting and attractive to young professionals like me. Merriweather's renovation is exciting and more is to come. I look forward to what the future holds for Downtown Columbia and encourage you to support legislation that includes mixed income apartment complexes and will increase the momentum of development by financing new roads and a public parking garage for Merriweather. Thank you. PTA COUNCIL OF HOWARD COUNTY 9/22/2016 PTA Council of Howard County, MD (PTACHC) serves

  • HC Drugfree Is Keeping Howard County in the KNOW!!!
    HC DrugFree is keeping Howard County In the KNOW!!! Fact: Howard County's Leading Cause of Death for 15-19 Year Olds Do you KNOW that death by suicide was the leading cause of death for youth ages 15-19 in Howard County between 2014-16? Suicide is preventable. Talk with your doctor. Get a referral to a mental health specialist. Talk with your school counselor. Connect with family and friends. Help Is Available The holidays are portrayed as a loving time with family and friends. However, for many people, this season is a time of stressing over long to do lists and anxiety over pleasing everyone else. Remember, most of us don't live in a Hallmark movie. Stop. Relax. Breathe! If you are feeling stressed, talk with a trusted friend or therapist. Ask for help. Know when to say NO. Take care of yourself. Soon the holiday hustle and bustle will be over and 2019 will be behind us. If you are in crisis, contact Grassroots Crisis Intervention 24/7. They offer a 24- hour crisis hotline, walk-in crisis counseling, a mobile crisis team, substance use services, emergency shelter, and more. Call 410-531-6677 or go to 6700 Freetown Road in Columbia. Maryland Survey Results Non-Prescription Opioids vs Heroin The Maryland Public Opinion Survey tracks changes in patterns of use, attitudes, and source of opioid misuse among people in Maryland who admit to using prescription and non-prescription opioids. The survey found that the older age group (50-64) almost completely misused non-prescription opioids for pain management, while the younger group (18-25) is misusing mainly to get high, experiment, and manage pain.

  • Younger Brother in 5 Grade and a Sister in Kindergarten at Athotton Elementary
    September 24, 2019 Dear Members of the Board of Education, Thank you very much for allowing me to speak tonight. think it is very important that you hear a student's perspective on redistricting. My name is Bert Roberts IV and I live in Polygon 16, which is part of the Dickinson neighborhood in Kings Contrivance. I attend Hammond MS, and I have a younger brother in 5 grade and a sister in Kindergarten at Athotton elementary. My sister in kindergarten is up for being redistricted to Guilfbrd elementary from Atholton elementary. I am opposed to this for many reasons. My sister has been around the Atholton community her whole life. She is so comfortable going to Kindergarten because she has been around this place so many times for school activities like reading picnics, chess club, fun runs, and lunches with her brothers. It is really cool knowing that she might have the same teachers as my brother and I. It was also cool how exdted the teachers got, knowing they were going to get another Roberts kid, her Kindergarten teacher is the same teacher I had for first grade! If she has to start over at a new school next year, it will be a school she has never been around, and she will probably be really nervous. I am also asking that you please keep Polygons 13, 14, 15, which are also located in the Dickinson Community, going to Hammond Middle School instead of the currently proposed redistricting to Lake Elkhorn Middle School. All of the kids that I know from Atholton elementary school would be redistricted to another middle school, and some of them I wouldn't even see in high school.
