Behind the Curtain of CR-112 – Part 4
By Steven Keller
This is Part 4 of a series of Maryland Public Information Act (MPIA) response releases that provide a glimpse behind the curtain regarding the planning and rollout of the Howard County Council’s CR-112 resolution in August 2019 that called on the Howard County public school system to ‘desegregate’ its schools.
The following pages are handwritten notes taken by a County Council staff member during a meeting between Councilman Opel Jones & his staff (Michael Harris & Najee Bailey) with Superintendent Martirano, Jahantab Siddiqui (HCPSS Chief Administrative Officer) and Scott Washington (HCPSS Acting Chief Operating Officer) at 4:00 PM on August 13, 2019, right before Councilman Jones was featured in a press release announcing the upcoming CR-112 resolution that he would be co-sponsoring with fellow Councilmembers Christiana Mercer-Rigby & Deb Jung.
