So, we we still feel good about 305 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,200 where we are, but that doesn't mean we 306 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,279 don't have challenges. And we did take 307 00:11:43,279 --> 00:11:44,800 all of that in consideration as we tried 308 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:50,069 to build the budget for you tonight. 309 00:11:50,079 --> 00:11:52,959 David, 310 00:11:52,959 --> 00:11:56,240 uh it's not clear exactly what um our 311 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,480 tuition reimbursement will be for the 312 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,200 FY26 313 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,240 uh year. um FY25 314 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,639 um we we knew by this point that our 315 00:12:06,639 --> 00:12:11,040 tuition reimbursement would be 75%.

You can see the the 402 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:47,839 real numbers there are projected as well 403 00:15:47,839 --> 00:15:49,839 for this year. 404 00:15:49,839 --> 00:15:52,320 And similarly 504s that's been kind of 405 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,040 up and down but we're currently at 257 406 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,360 students on 504s. 407 00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,759 And when we get into the priority needs, 408 00:15:59,759 --> 00:16:02,480 you'll see how the importance of the EL 409 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,160 number is going to matter here because 410 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,639 you'll see we went in 2122 we had about 411 00:16:06,639 --> 00:16:10,160 62 students. We're now up to 97 and with 412 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,240 that we have more level ones and level 413 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:13,920 twos. Joanie can talk a little further 414 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,320 when we get to that point. But that is a 415 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,079 significant amount of hours and needs 416 00:16:18,079 --> 00:16:20,240 for students. So the more hours we have 417 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:21,920 to give, the more staff we need to do 418 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:23,360 so. And that's where you'll see our 419 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:27,360 priority need directly related to that. 420 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,320 Some of the drivers that Barbara had 421 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:31,839 talked about were the mental health 422 00:16:31,839 --> 00:16:33,360 needs of students. We know that every 423 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,279 year we talk about this a lot. We've 424 00:16:35,279 --> 00:16:36,959 seen some our data improving with our 425 00:16:36,959 --> 00:16:38,560 Metro West Health survey, but there 426 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:39,920 still a lot of mental health needs of 427 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:43,120 students. The tier one is our big focus 428 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:44,959 this year with MTSS. We told you that 429 00:16:44,959 --> 00:16:46,639 we're doing all of our alignment and our 430 00:16:46,639 --> 00:16:48,800 work at the district level with our 431 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,440 admin team and P with staff is really 432 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,680 focused on tier one. And that's a 433 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:55,279 significant area of need with the hope 434 00:16:55,279 --> 00:16:57,360 that that could help over time reduce 435 00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:58,800 the number of children on IEPs if 436 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:00,079 they're getting their needs met in tier 437 00:17:00,079 --> 00:17:01,680 one. 438 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,400 504 regulations have certainly become 439 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,199 more complex and often times we're 440 00:17:07,199 --> 00:17:09,039 writing 504s and students might have a 441 00:17:09,039 --> 00:17:11,280 medical plan and a 504. You don't 442 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:12,640 necessarily have to do that, but that's 443 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,000 been a practice in the district to do 444 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,480 both. So, it just it's it's more plans 445 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:17,919 and more needs for students that we're 446 00:17:17,919 --> 00:17:20,079 considering. And I already mentioned the 447 00:17:20,079 --> 00:17:21,360 increase in the English language 448 00:17:21,360 --> 00:17:22,480 learners. We like to call them 449 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,559 multilingual learners, but the state 450 00:17:24,559 --> 00:17:26,400 still calls them ELLL students English 451 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:30,870 language learners. 452 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,200 Also, out of district costs, I this 453 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:34,400 shouldn't be anything new to you. 454 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:35,840 Clearly, this has been a topic of 455 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:37,280 concern the last few years of the 456 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:38,880 significant tuition increases. 457 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,760 transportation as well. 600 a day can 458 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:43,440 still be seen, but the district is 459 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,120 really working to try to reduce that 460 00:17:45,120 --> 00:17:46,720 over time and and lock into lower 461 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,120 contracts with work from both Barbara 462 00:17:49,120 --> 00:17:52,880 Catalo and Michelle Lame and we 463 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:54,640 certainly have seen an increase in 464 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:56,880 paranal needs and monitors on buses and 465 00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,120 that the oneto ones and so forth. So 466 00:17:59,120 --> 00:18:00,720 obviously that comes at an additional 467 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,039 cost and then we can't account for out 468 00:18:03,039 --> 00:18:04,480 of district movements. So where we are 469 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:05,679 right now, we can give you a good 470 00:18:05,679 --> 00:18:07,679 overview of what we see for the budget, 471 00:18:07,679 --> 00:18:09,520 but we can't predict any movements that 472 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:13,750 might happen later in the year. 473 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,200 So just a couple of things that they're 474 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,360 working on is to reduce the cost. Um 475 00:18:17,360 --> 00:18:20,320 trying to lock in prices and delivery 476 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,480 was an area of concern a few years ago 477 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,080 when we couldn't find someone. We often 478 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:25,520 have do delivery services and there's 479 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,840 really no moderation of that. So 480 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:29,039 unfortunately those costs were 481 00:18:29,039 --> 00:18:31,120 significantly high. I do know at the 482 00:18:31,120 --> 00:18:32,799 state level the inspector general is 483 00:18:32,799 --> 00:18:34,880 doing a whole analysis of this and an 484 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:36,400 audit. So hopefully something will come 485 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:40,400 of that for costs in the future. 486 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,080 And then this is what we're working on 487 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,799 for extended school year. Dr. Catalo is 488 00:18:44,799 --> 00:18:47,200 working with trying to see which 489 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,840 students really need the supports in the 490 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,320 summer because ultimately we don't want 491 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:53,600 to have to bring them in the summer if 492 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,039 we don't have to. We really want them to 493 00:18:55,039 --> 00:18:56,880 enjoy and and have playtime in the 494 00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:58,240 summer because that's also social 495 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,400 emotional development. So, she's been 496 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,000 working with the SSAs to develop 497 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,320 checklists and really looking through 498 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,240 what the true needs of students are 499 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,240 because it's not in the summer. It's 500 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,120 really time to try to reduce regression. 501 00:19:11,120 --> 00:19:13,200 It's not about trying to gain services 502 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,039 in the year. That's what happens in the 503 00:19:15,039 --> 00:19:16,640 school year. We try to increase and get 504 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:18,880 students caught up further, but in the 505 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:20,000 summer, it's really about trying to 506 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:24,549 prevent regression. 507 00:19:24,559 --> 00:19:25,919 So, I don't know if you have questions 508 00:19:25,919 --> 00:19:27,840 about that that David or I could answer. 509 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:29,280 And if not, there's specific questions 510 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,760 that we could also um have for Dr. 511 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:36,789 Katala when she returns. 512 00:19:36,799 --> 00:19:39,520 What's that right now? Okay. 513 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,440 All right. Let me put that slides back 514 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:50,230 up. 515 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,400 All right. So that was January 8th where 516 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:53,600 we saw things 517 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,960 >> just um to stay just here for a second. 518 00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,520 Um while January 8 was kind of the la 519 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,480 the time that we uh created kind of the 520 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,880 or finalized the level services budget. 521 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:06,720 Um what you're going to see in future 522 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,120 slides is a major driver being payroll. 523 00:20:09,120 --> 00:20:12,320 the our our our part one was 524 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:16,240 done in November. Um, so as you've heard 525 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:17,760 maybe Dan talk or to the school 526 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,400 committee about is that the the later we 527 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,080 get into the year, the more accurate our 528 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,000 numbers are and the more we learn about 529 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:25,840 retirements and resignations and things 530 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,080 that we can plan for for FY27. Also, 531 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:32,080 things happen in FY26 as well. People leave, come and go, salaries 532 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,559 change over the course of the year um 533 00:20:34,559 --> 00:20:37,200 that kind of kind of make that. So part 534 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,919 one uh which is our payroll and salaries 535 00:20:39,919 --> 00:20:42,400 was in November and then our student 536 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,480 services which was our part three was 537 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:46,240 that was in our at the very beginning of 538 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:52,549 January. 539 00:20:52,559 --> 00:20:53,280 » So 540 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:57,440 >> go ahead. Um so our our total change um 541 00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,159 which is fantastic and and somewhat 542 00:21:00,159 --> 00:21:04,159 unheard of is um that we payroll uh the 543 00:21:04,159 --> 00:21:07,840 driver here is that we are reducing the 544 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:12,870 budget from where it was by 483,593 545 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,760 uh by just uh rerunning our payroll to 546 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:19,919 this point um this point LA this what I 547 00:21:19,919 --> 00:21:21,919 would say is the 11 retirements is more 548 00:21:21,919 --> 00:21:23,280 retirements than we had over the course 549 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,520 of the entirety of the year last year. 550 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,080 Uh but to have 11 retirements um at this 551 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:31,120 point uh in itself is a large uh number 552 00:21:31,120 --> 00:21:33,200 of retirements. So this is this is kind 553 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:34,720 of not something you should always 554 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,200 anticipate happening uh but it's 555 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,520 happening in our favor um this year 556 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,400 which is that we have 11 retirements for 557 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,400 resignation. Some of those retirements 558 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:46,720 um six of those retirements are 559 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,440 anticipated for FY27. Uh but we have 560 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,520 additional retirements that happened mid 561 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:53,280 year this year partially to this year 562 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,159 that we did not anticipate um in our 563 00:21:56,159 --> 00:21:58,799 FY25 or in the 25 school year as we're 564 00:21:58,799 --> 00:22:01,840 projecting our FY26. Additionally, over 565 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,159 the course of the year um this year we 566 00:22:04,159 --> 00:22:07,120 had we mixed into the four resignations 567 00:22:07,120 --> 00:22:09,120 are resignations that occurred this year 568 00:22:09,120 --> 00:22:11,280 for a variety of reasons uh that 569 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,440 occurred during this year. Uh and some 570 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,440 are a couple of the resignations are 571 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:20,000 resignations that um we know of uh not 572 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,240 to like Dr. Manard is taking a 573 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,000 superintendent position and so that is a 574 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,559 resignation. Resignations um happen for 575 00:22:26,559 --> 00:22:29,760 great reasons um as well. Um other 576 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:33,200 payroll uh we do have um we do have what 577 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,559 are like people in interim positions uh 578 00:22:36,559 --> 00:22:38,559 single-year contracts things that in 579 00:22:38,559 --> 00:22:42,400 there. uh we have uh uh lane change 580 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,600 adjustments that uh occur as well um in 581 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:49,200 that um some of our FY27 even some of 582 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,360 our mid-year retirements what we 583 00:22:51,360 --> 00:22:52,960 budgeted as far as the person that we 584 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:56,000 would replace them with was an M a M's 7 585 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,440 and we hired at a B4. Uh so you get some 586 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,760 additional buffer that's built into that 587 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:05,760 as well. So um this again this is kind 588 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:09,440 of uh this snapshot in time uh of where 589 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,880 we are. Um and you know this is kind of 590 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:17,600 the the major movement of the payroll uh 591 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:19,200 that we have. There will be minor 592 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:20,799 adjustments in payroll all the way all 593 00:23:20,799 --> 00:23:22,799 the way up to July one well all the way 594 00:23:22,799 --> 00:23:25,200 up until the start of the school year uh 595 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,600 as far as how that that works um as 596 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:28,960 well. But the superintendent's budget 597 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,039 again accounts for all new known 598 00:23:31,039 --> 00:23:33,200 adjustments to level services as of 599 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,360 today. The budget will continue to be 600 00:23:35,360 --> 00:23:36,640 updated with the most accurate 601 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:38,400 information leading all the way up to 602 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,480 Midtown meeting when you eventually have 603 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,440 to just make the call. 604 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,960 >> Thank you. So that allowed Dr. Jordan to 605 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,760 revise his projected level services 606 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,400 budget as of February 9th with this new 607 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,520 information down to 3.89%. 608 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:57,840 Which is very helpful. It's still not 609 00:23:57,840 --> 00:23:59,760 getting to where the town thinks that 610 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,159 they can fund, but at least it's we're 611 00:24:02,159 --> 00:24:03,520 moving in the right direction at this 612 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,630 point. 613 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:06,799 And 614 00:24:06,799 --> 00:24:08,799 >> those were here last year. Last year at 615 00:24:08,799 --> 00:24:12,080 this point, the four we were at 4.21% 616 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:15,360 level services. 617 00:24:15,360 --> 00:24:18,320 >> All right. So, as we have had in recent 618 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:21,039 years, the town administrator, actually 619 00:24:21,039 --> 00:24:22,720 should say town manager now, I apologize 620 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:26,000 for that. It's been modeled at 3.25% 25% 621 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:27,679 um over the past few years and again 622 00:24:27,679 --> 00:24:30,640 it's a placeholder for FY27. 623 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:32,799 It's not a guarantee until we go through 624 00:24:32,799 --> 00:24:35,440 the whole budget process. And if we do 625 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:37,360 get the 3.25% 626 00:24:37,360 --> 00:24:41,360 that is still a 64% deficit of what we 627 00:24:41,360 --> 00:24:42,799 think we need for level services for 628 00:24:42,799 --> 00:24:45,840 FY27 which is 286,000. 629 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,240 So obviously we have to consider that as 630 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:49,840 we make decisions as we move further in 631 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:51,279 the budget cycle. And it doesn't 632 00:24:51,279 --> 00:24:52,880 consider the priority needs at this time 633 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:56,950 as well. 634 00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:58,880 So, what are the priority needs? I think 635 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:00,320 when I looked at the numbers from last 636 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:04,480 year, we were at about 450 to 4 to 490 637 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,640 um,000 for what we were identifying as 638 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:08,640 priority needs. We've really sharpened 639 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:10,320 our pencils even before going into the 640 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,480 priority need discussion in January with 641 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,080 our principles. We were very realistic 642 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:15,919 with them as to where we are, with the 643 00:25:15,919 --> 00:25:17,520 funds we're going to have with a 644 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,840 feasibility study potentially coming up 645 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,720 um in the spring vote. So with all of 646 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,760 that, they were very very conscientious 647 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:27,679 about considering their real strict 648 00:25:27,679 --> 00:25:29,919 priority needs. One that we've talked 649 00:25:29,919 --> 00:25:31,440 about probably since the entire time 650 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,000 I've been here is trying to fund uh we 651 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:35,279 talked about potentially an assistant 652 00:25:35,279 --> 00:25:37,520 director or because the needs in the out 653 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,279 of district has incre although the 654 00:25:39,279 --> 00:25:40,640 number of students have decreased in the 655 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,720 outer districts, the number of meetings 656 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:44,880 that happen for out of district is 657 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,360 significant. And as you saw with the 658 00:25:47,360 --> 00:25:50,400 number of IEPs increasing, our SSAs and 659 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,640 our student services director are now 660 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:54,159 having more and more meetings. So they 661 00:25:54,159 --> 00:25:55,600 can't go out of the district to handle 662 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,200 these out of district meetings. And 663 00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,840 that's why we really strongly prioritize 664 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:03,120 that we need at least 0.5 hopefully a 665 00:26:03,120 --> 00:26:05,840 full-time person later in the cycle in 666 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:07,440 another year or so. But that would be 667 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,320 about 60,000 Placentino and Miller. 668 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:11,440 That's why I talked to you about the 669 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,400 ELLL needs this um with Dr. I could tell 670 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,080 those slides and Dr. Manard can 671 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,640 elaborate on that as well. But again 672 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:20,320 being very conservative to try to fill 673 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,640 and get some of those hours to students. 674 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,039 Both Classantino and Miller are looking 675 00:26:25,039 --> 00:26:27,440 for a half-time tutor that would work in 676 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:28,720 conjunction with the teachers that are 677 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:30,320 already existing there similar to other 678 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,960 models that we have in the district. And 679 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:36,480 then we definitely know that Rams is 680 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,120 struggling with 1.0 campus supervisor 681 00:26:39,120 --> 00:26:41,760 needs. the amount of time our 682 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:43,200 administrators are managing all of the 683 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,760 needs in the lunchroom and so forth. The 684 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:47,279 model works so well at the high school 685 00:26:47,279 --> 00:26:48,559 because we have Kenny the campus 686 00:26:48,559 --> 00:26:50,720 supervisor role and he's able to manage 687 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:52,559 multiple things throughout the day and 688 00:26:52,559 --> 00:26:53,919 take some of the work off the 689 00:26:53,919 --> 00:26:55,840 administrator so they and he also has 690 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:57,440 very good relation with students. So we 691 00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:00,000 would look for that same role at RAMs to 692 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,480 try to take away some of those um more 693 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,799 preventative and safety needs that the 694 00:27:04,799 --> 00:27:06,240 campus supervisor could really monitor 695 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:07,760 in the hallways and lunchroom and so 696 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:11,200 forth. And then also we did add which 697 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,279 was great last year in the budget we 698 00:27:13,279 --> 00:27:16,000 added the math tutor and that's allowed 699 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:17,440 us when we presented with the curriculum 700 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:19,279 specialist significant amount of 701 00:27:19,279 --> 00:27:20,880 interventions are now able to happen 702 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,039 with the curriculum intervention role 703 00:27:23,039 --> 00:27:25,840 and now having a a full-time math tutor 704 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:27,840 with that. Similarly we'd like to add a 705 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,080 reading tutor to work with the literacy 706 00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:33,840 interventionist role as well. 707 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:35,279 But you look at the total there, 708 00:27:35,279 --> 00:27:38,000 158,000. That's not a lot when you look 709 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,000 at trying to do best for students, but 710 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:41,840 we really tightened up our model 711 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:43,600 significantly to try to consider where 712 00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:49,190 we are as a town and school system. 713 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:50,960 So that would get us to a different 714 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,960 number now, 46 thou 46 million. And that 715 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:58,480 now brings our projection to 4.25%. As I 716 00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:00,159 reminded you earlier, we're modeling a 717 00:28:00,159 --> 00:28:04,480 3.25% projection right now. So we are 1% 718 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:06,960 away from um you know where we might be 719 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:10,960 in the budget meeting in at the town but 720 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:12,240 there's still time and we have to come 721 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:13,840 up with some creative solutions as we go 722 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,960 forward as well. So right now we are 723 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:18,640 looking at reductions to get to that 724 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,279 number just like we have in past years. 725 00:28:21,279 --> 00:28:23,039 But again when I'm looking at some of 726 00:28:23,039 --> 00:28:25,120 the data on some districts that are 727 00:28:25,120 --> 00:28:27,279 having a deficit of three four five 728 00:28:27,279 --> 00:28:29,600 million I mean we're clearly not there. 729 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:31,520 So, we've really been careful with our 730 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,600 spending and using not using one-time 731 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:35,279 funds to supplement a budget, which is 732 00:28:35,279 --> 00:28:36,960 why we're not in the shape that some 733 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:42,549 other districts are. 734 00:28:42,559 --> 00:28:44,559 Capital requests. 735 00:28:44,559 --> 00:28:46,960 So, again, if you look at the top there, 736 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:48,559 initially when we presented priority 737 00:28:48,559 --> 00:28:50,320 needs, we were estimating about 738 00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:53,039 3,335,000. 739 00:28:53,039 --> 00:28:54,880 We've been able to reduce that number by 740 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:56,480 going through again and we're now 741 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,919 looking at a potential of 3,240,000 742 00:28:59,919 --> 00:29:01,840 with the bulk of that being the MSBA 743 00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:04,159 feasibility study. So that's something 744 00:29:04,159 --> 00:29:05,919 that we've discussed at the town level 745 00:29:05,919 --> 00:29:07,760 already. That's obviously a huge chunk 746 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,480 of this. But curriculum resources, Dr. 747 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,880 Menard has gone back with her curriculum 748 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:14,640 review teams and we were able to lower 749 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:16,640 some of the curriculum estimates for 750 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,520 resources for next year. One of them was 751 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:22,159 um instead of having a pre preK through 752 00:29:22,159 --> 00:29:25,279 eight science ask the grade three and 753 00:29:25,279 --> 00:29:27,600 five teachers are going to hold off this 754 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:29,600 year and not look for new resources. So 755 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:31,440 we were able to lower that number. And 756 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:33,440 then we are looking at high school 757 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:36,000 potentially needing $100,000 related to 758 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:37,520 just unforeseen needs with the new 759 00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:38,559 schedule. So that's something we've 760 00:29:38,559 --> 00:29:40,480 talked about as well.

But um 815 00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:54,000 probably the the easiest uh changes have 816 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:57,200 been have been made already. So um I 817 00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,279 know Dr. Jordan and Dr. because we're 818 00:31:59,279 --> 00:32:01,600 looking at everything as it comes in. 819 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,880 But um we'll just continue to keep 820 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:08,720 plugging and looking at different options as we look at 821 00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:12,960 enrollment and things like that. 822 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,120 But right now, I mean, if you look at 823 00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,679 the news and see where some other 824 00:32:17,679 --> 00:32:21,039 districts are, I mean, we are in really 825 00:32:21,039 --> 00:32:23,600 good shape at this moment this year. 826 00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:26,630 >> Yes. 827 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:30,950 It's not a race to the bottom though. 828 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,519 » No. And and look, we're in a good place, 829 00:32:33,519 --> 00:32:37,919 but we're still we're 300 we're $286,000 830 00:32:37,919 --> 00:32:39,760 away from even beginning to start 831 00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:41,840 thinking about funding the the priority 832 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:46,320 needs. Um later tonight, we'll look at a letter we'll send to our 833 00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:48,159 representatives and and a representative 834 00:32:48,159 --> 00:32:50,399 and state senator hopefully help with 835 00:32:50,399 --> 00:32:55,190 chapter 70. But um 836 00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,000 you know it's uh money is certainly not 837 00:32:58,000 --> 00:32:59,600 falling off of trees to to help us 838 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:05,909 along. So 839 00:33:05,919 --> 00:33:07,919 » when you were talking about the um 840 00:33:07,919 --> 00:33:09,039 curriculum 841 00:33:09,039 --> 00:33:10,480 >> Yes. Sorry. 842 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,519 >> The you're you 843 00:33:13,519 --> 00:33:16,159 going to focus on the ELA this coming 844 00:33:16,159 --> 00:33:18,480 year and then looking for 845 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:21,279 >> for No. So for Placentino, you have 846 00:33:21,279 --> 00:33:23,840 teachers that teach science that do not 847 00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:25,440 teach ELA. 848 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:27,919 >> So that's why Miller though they would 849 00:33:27,919 --> 00:33:30,720 impact by both, right? And then Rams 850 00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:33,279 were looking at science also. So that's 851 00:33:33,279 --> 00:33:33,600 why 852 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:35,519 >> just let them focus on one thing right 853 00:33:35,519 --> 00:33:38,640 now. Correct. And then right 854 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:40,480 it's pretty overwhelming, right? Think 855 00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:42,159 about it. They just went through Eureka 856 00:33:42,159 --> 00:33:44,320 math squared also. So 857 00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:46,080 >> but the curriculum will be decided. It 858 00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:47,600 will just be purchased at a later date, 859 00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:48,559 right? 860 00:33:48,559 --> 00:33:50,880 The curriculum resources for prek to 2 861 00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:52,480 and 6 to 8 will be decided. Are you 862 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:54,080 going to are you're not going to pilot a 863 00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,799 resource for 3 to five, right? 864 00:33:56,799 --> 00:33:58,960 >> Not this year, but we will come back 865 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:02,080 before the school year ends and make a 866 00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:03,600 recommendation that'll be presented to 867 00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:04,960 the superintendent and the school 868 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,519 committee on the resources to use for 869 00:34:07,519 --> 00:34:10,159 preK through two science, 6 through 8 870 00:34:10,159 --> 00:34:14,720 science, and elementary ELA. 871 00:34:14,720 --> 00:34:15,919 >> I guess I didn't pick up on this when 872 00:34:15,919 --> 00:34:17,040 we're talking about a budget. I 873 00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:20,399 apologize. Um I totally get putting it 874 00:34:20,399 --> 00:34:22,000 off here so that this you know teachers 875 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:26,399 aren't rolling out two different sets of curriculum but would it be pos I mean 876 00:34:26,399 --> 00:34:29,760 I just as we look at 877 00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,399 it I'm not an educator as everyone 878 00:34:32,399 --> 00:34:35,040 knows. Um but to pick curriculum for K 879 00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:36,159 through two and then six through eight 880 00:34:36,159 --> 00:34:37,839 but kind of leave a hole and not sort of 881 00:34:37,839 --> 00:34:39,440 even have it decided. 882 00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:41,760 >> Yeah. I think the issue though is just 883 00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:43,440 like we're doing with literacy, they 884 00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:44,800 have so many weeks that they have to 885 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:46,560 actually use the materials and pilot 886 00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:48,399 them. So the piloting is what they don't 887 00:34:48,399 --> 00:34:50,720 have enough time to do. So that's 888 00:34:50,720 --> 00:34:52,800 >> likely that will help prek to 2 will 889 00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:54,560 help them decide. They'll end up more 890 00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:56,720 than likely tying either into pre-K to 2 891 00:34:56,720 --> 00:34:58,640 or 6 to 8 the materials. But they also 892 00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:01,680 want to look at what is chosen for ELA 893 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,079 for the elementary schools to see if any 894 00:35:04,079 --> 00:35:06,000 science can be tied into that and 895 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,800 connected to that because there are some 896 00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,760 publishers out there that do both ELA 897 00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:15,680 and science. So that's a potential for 898 00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:16,480 Miller. 899 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:16,800 >> Okay. 900 00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:18,960 >> I don't know if we'll work out that way. 901 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,119 >> But I do understand your concern like it 902 00:35:21,119 --> 00:35:22,880 feels like a gap. But 903 00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:24,720 >> we did start teaching with um we did 904 00:35:24,720 --> 00:35:26,880 purchase some more of the u mystery was 905 00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:28,880 it mystery science 906 00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:30,960 >> um for the grade 3 to five teachers when 907 00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,119 we started the new implementation with 908 00:35:33,119 --> 00:35:34,720 um some of them teaching science in the 909 00:35:34,720 --> 00:35:36,960 classroom u but the unified arts 910 00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:38,400 teachers are still teaching science for 911 00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:39,119 prek to 912 00:35:39,119 --> 00:35:41,200 >> so what's happened at Miller also very 913 00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:44,000 proud of um Ashley Buchard and Carla 914 00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:47,760 Krauss who are the Rams in the Miller 915 00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,400 STEM curriculum coordinators they work 916 00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:53,599 very closely together and really making 917 00:35:53,599 --> 00:35:57,119 the mystery science for Miller be 918 00:35:57,119 --> 00:36:00,160 strengthened. So even though they won't 919 00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:02,400 make a recommendation, we have been 920 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:06,240 making positive changes for Miller. 921 00:36:06,240 --> 00:36:07,680 >> Oh no, obviously there's a lot of work 922 00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:09,200 going on. I'm not questioning that at 923 00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:10,640 all. Um 924 00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:12,720 >> are we is there any benefits of scale 925 00:36:12,720 --> 00:36:15,599 purchasing that we're losing but not? 926 00:36:15,599 --> 00:36:19,440 No, because if you're No, because like 927 00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:21,839 for Rams and Placentino, we're looking 928 00:36:21,839 --> 00:36:25,280 at different things and Miller is what 929 00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:26,560 they were kind of talking about 930 00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:27,760 potentially would look at different 931 00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:29,839 things. But let's say, I'm just making 932 00:36:29,839 --> 00:36:32,640 this up. Let's say Plantino decides on 933 00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:35,760 product X and then Miller decides on 934 00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:39,520 that same product X, then I work with 935 00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:41,920 Dr. Jordan and we do a negotiation with 936 00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,400 a company to bring down the cost. So 937 00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:46,400 yes, we would do that.

So, what we 1089 00:42:21,599 --> 00:42:23,920 talked about today was I I said to them 1090 00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:25,359 um I wanted to know if they knew that 1091 00:42:25,359 --> 00:42:27,280 they had a new superintendent and what 1092 00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:29,119 would they like me to share with him 1093 00:42:29,119 --> 00:42:32,079 about the middle school and they had 1094 00:42:32,079 --> 00:42:34,079 positive things to say in most cases, 1095 00:42:34,079 --> 00:42:36,640 not all about just the unified arts 1096 00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:40,800 offerings and also um most children felt 1097 00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:43,040 that they had a good sense of belonging 1098 00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:44,880 there. Again, perspective. There are 1099 00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:46,400 some students that felt differently 1100 00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:48,560 depending on their circumstances. And 1101 00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:51,119 then they also um really wanted to 1102 00:42:51,119 --> 00:42:53,440 highlight just how unique Rams is in 1103 00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:55,920 general. I did also ask them about the 1104 00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:57,359 high school and if they knew about the 1105 00:42:57,359 --> 00:42:59,280 changes that were happening here. Two of 1106 00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:00,640 the eighth graders were there and they 1107 00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:03,040 had gone to the um tours yesterday and 1108 00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:05,200 today. So they really were excited to 1109 00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:06,720 hear all of the offerings. I think they 1110 00:43:06,720 --> 00:43:08,240 did a from what I've been hearing 1111 00:43:08,240 --> 00:43:09,920 everybody seemed really pleased with as 1112 00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:12,400 Dr. List I mean principal list shared 1113 00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:15,760 with you well attended both um in by 1114 00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:18,560 Zoom and in person.

And 1117 00:43:21,599 --> 00:43:22,880 they had a lot of questions about 1118 00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:25,119 electives up here. And so it was nice to 1119 00:43:25,119 --> 00:43:26,880 be able to talk about, you know, where 1120 00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:29,520 we are in the the cycle with our new 1121 00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:31,599 schedule. And I also talked to them 1122 00:43:31,599 --> 00:43:33,119 about the potential of a new building 1123 00:43:33,119 --> 00:43:34,400 project, which obviously they'd be 1124 00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:36,880 excited about, but eighth graders and 1125 00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:38,400 seventh graders likely wouldn't be in 1126 00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:39,839 the new building. Sixth graders might. 1127 00:43:39,839 --> 00:43:41,839 So we did talk about that. But I did say 1128 00:43:41,839 --> 00:43:43,680 that if the town does move forward in 1129 00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:45,599 that direction, more than likely the 1130 00:43:45,599 --> 00:43:47,119 principal and this new superintendent 1131 00:43:47,119 --> 00:43:48,720 would want to do surveys for students 1132 00:43:48,720 --> 00:43:50,800 and have their voices heard about what 1133 00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:52,640 types of programs they'd like to see at 1134 00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:54,480 the high school. And so it was it was a 1135 00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:55,680 great conversation and one of the things 1136 00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:57,520 that I was pleased to hear um when I 1137 00:43:57,520 --> 00:43:58,800 said to the students, what would you 1138 00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:01,119 like me to um encourage the new 1139 00:44:01,119 --> 00:44:02,880 superintendent with?

So, preK to 8, I've had a lot 1144 00:44:09,839 --> 00:44:12,000 of really rigorous meetings with um 1145 00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:14,880 pre-K to 8 students at the high school. 1146 00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:16,880 They're lacking.

We had some amazing 100 day 1206 00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:33,920 celebrations at the elementary schools. 1207 00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:38,160 Um really nice job that both um Christa 1208 00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:40,400 Marino at Placentino organized as well 1209 00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:43,119 as Ashley Bashard at Miller. So I went 1210 00:46:43,119 --> 00:46:46,400 to both of those which is good. 1211 00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:49,839 >> Uh in your folder um as we kind of 1212 00:46:49,839 --> 00:46:51,440 discussed something that you appreciated 1213 00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:54,720 that um Mr. Mr. Budet provided as a as a 1214 00:46:54,720 --> 00:46:58,560 budget memo. Uh in budget sub uh we 1215 00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:00,960 subcommittee we kind of go into greater 1216 00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:02,880 detail as far as specific lines within 1217 00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:04,960 the budget. But I do want to get into a 1218 00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:07,200 habit of providing you all with just 1219 00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:09,440 kind of a more holistic summary uh 1220 00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:12,319 outlook um of the budget. Um, you know, 1221 00:47:12,319 --> 00:47:14,319 I'm always I'm interested in in feedback 1222 00:47:14,319 --> 00:47:16,160 of things that you would want in 1223 00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:18,400 addition uh to this, but just as on a 1224 00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:20,960 high level of our year-to- date, but um 1225 00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:25,359 also our grants. Um, we are, as we said 1226 00:47:25,359 --> 00:47:27,359 about the 101st day of school, we're 1227 00:47:27,359 --> 00:47:30,400 about 62% uh through the year. Uh, 1228 00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:33,440 budget utilization is about 58%. Um, so 1229 00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:35,119 we're right where we would project that 1230 00:47:35,119 --> 00:47:37,839 we uh should be. Um that said kind of 1231 00:47:37,839 --> 00:47:40,960 within some of the highlights um the our 1232 00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:42,240 percent spent spent currently is 1233 00:47:42,240 --> 00:47:44,079 exceeding a little bit on some of the 1234 00:47:44,079 --> 00:47:46,000 percentage and that's partially because 1235 00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:48,960 um this at the term change is where we 1236 00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:52,000 have a lot of our major stipens and um 1237 00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:54,640 other par uh payment payouts that happen 1238 00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:56,400 at this point in time. So it creates a 1239 00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:57,680 little bit of a blip but it's something 1240 00:47:57,680 --> 00:48:00,000 that we're aware of and know of um 1241 00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:02,560 within kind of heating and snow removal. 1242 00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:05,680 Um, you know, we we have really kind of 1243 00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:08,480 we're at 82% utilization of our grounds 1244 00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:10,560 budget. Um, as far as some of that uh 1245 00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:12,880 snow removal at this point um and added 1246 00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:14,640 some some other items in there within 1247 00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:18,160 the highlights. Um, within grants uh 1248 00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:19,119 just to kind of give you an 1249 00:48:19,119 --> 00:48:21,040 understanding of grants, you'll see that 1250 00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:24,000 um we just to conceptualize how we use 1251 00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:26,559 grants is you have to actually acrue all 1252 00:48:26,559 --> 00:48:28,240 of the expenses first into the 1253 00:48:28,240 --> 00:48:30,319 appropriations budget. then you can draw 1254 00:48:30,319 --> 00:48:32,720 down uh from gyms into the grants. So 1255 00:48:32,720 --> 00:48:34,079 that's why you don't see much grant 1256 00:48:34,079 --> 00:48:37,119 utilization at this point. Um but uh 1257 00:48:37,119 --> 00:48:38,640 that will start to happen the closer you 1258 00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:39,680 get to the end of the year. The other 1259 00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:42,720 part is the the grant system. You can't 1260 00:48:42,720 --> 00:48:45,920 even draw down until February 24th uh 1261 00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:48,079 any money at all uh on your on your 1262 00:48:48,079 --> 00:48:49,680 grants. So that's that's why you're kind 1263 00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:50,960 of seeing some of that. But that gives 1264 00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:53,440 you a little bit um of a grants picture. 1265 00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:55,040 I'm happy to answer any questions in the 1266 00:48:55,040 --> 00:49:00,720 future about some of that. Um the uh you 1267 00:49:00,720 --> 00:49:02,480 know I know we've had a lot of snow and 1268 00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:04,480 I know that that's kind of had had some 1269 00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:07,680 impacts on arrival and dismissal at um 1270 00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:12,720 at some of our our buildings. Um I uh I 1271 00:49:12,720 --> 00:49:15,280 went back it's it's been a good eight 1272 00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:16,960 years maybe nine years since the last 1273 00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:18,559 time we maybe seven years that we've had 1274 00:49:18,559 --> 00:49:20,960 the last major snow uh that we had. And 1275 00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:24,640 I went into my inbox and um 1276 00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:26,720 it wasn't friendly. I'll say that. uh 1277 00:49:26,720 --> 00:49:27,920 being principal, I was principal of the 1278 00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:29,599 middle school at that time.

Um I know 1284 00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:43,200 that um there are some trials and things 1285 00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:45,119 that we're working through as far as our 1286 00:49:45,119 --> 00:49:47,359 arrival and dismissal plan at 1287 00:49:47,359 --> 00:49:50,000 specifically at the Woodling campus.

Yeah, 1928 01:17:00,159 --> 01:17:02,400 >> we can talk about So I I will admit that 1929 01:17:02,400 --> 01:17:04,560 I approved that thinking, oh, this year 1930 01:17:04,560 --> 01:17:06,640 was the 25th, 24th, not realizing that 1931 01:17:06,640 --> 01:17:08,239 the 24th put us two full weeks before 1932 01:17:08,239 --> 01:17:12,320 Labor Day. Um and when that came to it 1933 01:17:12,320 --> 01:17:14,080 was just last week that that came to my 1934 01:17:14,080 --> 01:17:16,800 um attention. I you know the precedent 1935 01:17:16,800 --> 01:17:18,400 of that is certainly not two weeks 1936 01:17:18,400 --> 01:17:20,400 before. There are a few districts in the 1937 01:17:20,400 --> 01:17:22,239 area that have similarly played around 1938 01:17:22,239 --> 01:17:24,800 with doing some PD days for staff on 1939 01:17:24,800 --> 01:17:26,560 that week before with students starting 1940 01:17:26,560 --> 01:17:28,400 on the 31st to try and help at the end 1941 01:17:28,400 --> 01:17:30,159 particularly with Junth being celebrated 1942 01:17:30,159 --> 01:17:31,679 on a Friday. It does make things a 1943 01:17:31,679 --> 01:17:34,320 little more complicated. Um but I think 1944 01:17:34,320 --> 01:17:35,920 we need to look at that week a little 1945 01:17:35,920 --> 01:17:38,960 bit more directly. Um I also realized 1946 01:17:38,960 --> 01:17:41,199 just today actually that um for our 1947 01:17:41,199 --> 01:17:44,159 varsity athletes as well um the MIA 1948 01:17:44,159 --> 01:17:46,239 dictates when um preseason can start and 1949 01:17:46,239 --> 01:17:48,640 it can't start until the 24th. So we're 1950 01:17:48,640 --> 01:17:49,679 essentially having our students come 1951 01:17:49,679 --> 01:17:50,880 back, our high schoolers come back to 1952 01:17:50,880 --> 01:17:54,560 school and also having them um do all of 1953 01:17:54,560 --> 01:17:56,560 their uh preseason work that typically 1954 01:17:56,560 --> 01:17:58,159 happens the week before school. So 1955 01:17:58,159 --> 01:18:00,239 that's another thing that I haven't I 1956 01:18:00,239 --> 01:18:02,400 don't know that we've mentioned either. 1957 01:18:02,400 --> 01:18:05,280 Um, so I think we need to talk a little 1958 01:18:05,280 --> 01:18:06,800 bit more about what this might look 1959 01:18:06,800 --> 01:18:07,280 like. 1960 01:18:07,280 --> 01:18:09,280 >> Other than the sports piece, what's the 1961 01:18:09,280 --> 01:18:10,880 issue with presidents two weeks before 1962 01:18:10,880 --> 01:18:12,719 Labor Day? 1963 01:18:12,719 --> 01:18:13,840 >> It's just never been done. I mean, 1964 01:18:13,840 --> 01:18:15,280 that's just 1965 01:18:15,280 --> 01:18:17,120 >> typically it's the week before. 1966 01:18:17,120 --> 01:18:18,480 >> This is the latest Labor Day can ever 1967 01:18:18,480 --> 01:18:18,800 be, 1968 01:18:18,800 --> 01:18:20,239 >> right? It's very late. 1969 01:18:20,239 --> 01:18:23,199 >> Um, many districts have restrictions in 1970 01:18:23,199 --> 01:18:24,880 their contracts of when they can start 1971 01:18:24,880 --> 01:18:27,120 school. And so that's one reason why 1972 01:18:27,120 --> 01:18:28,320 there are a lot of schools that are 1973 01:18:28,320 --> 01:18:30,159 starting with first staff day on the 1974 01:18:30,159 --> 01:18:33,360 31st and first uh student day on the 1975 01:18:33,360 --> 01:18:36,800 second. Um 1976 01:18:36,800 --> 01:18:38,719 if we were to push to that type of 1977 01:18:38,719 --> 01:18:40,640 schedule though, we would be looking at 1978 01:18:40,640 --> 01:18:44,480 like the 24th or 25th of June before 1979 01:18:44,480 --> 01:18:46,640 snow days, before anything. Whereas you 1980 01:18:46,640 --> 01:18:48,239 have a town like Medfield which is 1981 01:18:48,239 --> 01:18:49,760 starting on the 2nd and they're getting 1982 01:18:49,760 --> 01:18:54,480 out on the 17th of June. So like 1983 01:18:54,480 --> 01:18:56,000 >> but are they cutting PD days out though 1984 01:18:56,000 --> 01:19:04,070 or how how are they navig 1985 01:19:04,080 --> 01:19:07,040 » the 185 days for um staff is also part 1986 01:19:07,040 --> 01:19:08,640 of what is different in Hollist versus 1987 01:19:08,640 --> 01:19:09,679 some of the other districts that are 1988 01:19:09,679 --> 01:19:11,440 giving out sooner as well. Um a lot of 1989 01:19:11,440 --> 01:19:16,149 districts are 182 183. 1990 01:19:16,159 --> 01:19:19,669 Um, 1991 01:19:19,679 --> 01:19:21,040 so I don't maybe I'm alone in that 1992 01:19:21,040 --> 01:19:21,760 concern, but I 1993 01:19:21,760 --> 01:19:24,719 >> So I I No, no. I So I mentioned last 1994 01:19:24,719 --> 01:19:26,080 time we were discussing this that I 1995 01:19:26,080 --> 01:19:27,920 would sort of be in favor of moving the 1996 01:19:27,920 --> 01:19:30,480 PD day from the 11th to the 25th to 1997 01:19:30,480 --> 01:19:32,640 start school on the 26th, which I 1998 01:19:32,640 --> 01:19:34,480 believe is the same day we started this 1999 01:19:34,480 --> 01:19:36,480 year for students. 2000 01:19:36,480 --> 01:19:38,560 um and keeping that as a half day still, 2001 01:19:38,560 --> 01:19:42,480 but um then you'd have two full uh days 2002 01:19:42,480 --> 01:19:46,560 for teachers, then a half day, and then 2003 01:19:46,560 --> 01:19:48,000 so you push it back a little bit. So at 2004 01:19:48,000 --> 01:19:50,320 least, you know, 2005 01:19:50,320 --> 01:19:51,760 I didn't realize athletes couldn't start 2006 01:19:51,760 --> 01:19:53,199 before then. So that that gives them a 2007 01:19:53,199 --> 01:19:54,640 couple days. 2008 01:19:54,640 --> 01:19:59,040 >> Can't happen. So try always before, 2009 01:19:59,040 --> 01:20:01,280 >> but that also by moving one PD day, that 2010 01:20:01,280 --> 01:20:04,400 wouldn't change our end date either. So 2011 01:20:04,400 --> 01:20:06,400 it wouldn't start pushing us into, you 2012 01:20:06,400 --> 01:20:06,719 know, 2013 01:20:06,719 --> 01:20:08,000 >> you're just saying like the games would 2014 01:20:08,000 --> 01:20:09,360 start that. 2015 01:20:09,360 --> 01:20:10,960 >> So according to the 2026 season, full 2016 01:20:10,960 --> 01:20:12,560 practice may begin the second Monday 2017 01:20:12,560 --> 01:20:14,239 preceding Labor Day. No team may have 2018 01:20:14,239 --> 01:20:15,920 more than 13 single practice sessions, 2019 01:20:15,920 --> 01:20:20,390 double sessions before Labor Day. 2020 01:20:20,400 --> 01:20:21,360 » But they have to 2021 01:20:21,360 --> 01:20:22,560 >> Can't they get around that though with 2022 01:20:22,560 --> 01:20:24,719 captain's practice? My own children did 2023 01:20:24,719 --> 01:20:25,360 that in high school. 2024 01:20:25,360 --> 01:20:27,440 >> Captain practices, yes, but the coaches 2025 01:20:27,440 --> 01:20:29,760 and the tryyouts can't happen two weeks 2026 01:20:29,760 --> 01:20:32,400 preceding. So impact like 2027 01:20:32,400 --> 01:20:33,920 >> the start of the season, right? It 2028 01:20:33,920 --> 01:20:34,480 should be 2029 01:20:34,480 --> 01:20:37,920 >> What about starting 27? 2030 01:20:37,920 --> 01:20:39,280 >> Well, that was one of the things that I 2031 01:20:39,280 --> 01:20:40,880 had thrown like I mean and again there 2032 01:20:40,880 --> 01:20:42,560 have been multiple tabs I was playing 2033 01:20:42,560 --> 01:20:44,080 around with lots of things and at one 2034 01:20:44,080 --> 01:20:46,800 point I had like paper copies in my like 2035 01:20:46,800 --> 01:20:49,440 what is this craziness? So I mean I 2036 01:20:49,440 --> 01:20:51,280 there's a a lot the second tab there 2037 01:20:51,280 --> 01:20:52,480 that I had put in there the alternative 2038 01:20:52,480 --> 01:20:54,719 start to looks at that Frank and says if 2039 01:20:54,719 --> 01:20:57,360 the teachers start on the 27th and 28th 2040 01:20:57,360 --> 01:21:00,800 um then we are able to take off that um 2041 01:21:00,800 --> 01:21:03,840 September 11th full day PD and I I know 2042 01:21:03,840 --> 01:21:06,719 we had talked um earlier this week and 2043 01:21:06,719 --> 01:21:08,560 that the thought was that a PD before 2044 01:21:08,560 --> 01:21:09,760 the start of school could be a little 2045 01:21:09,760 --> 01:21:11,440 tough. There are a lot of districts that 2046 01:21:11,440 --> 01:21:13,120 do it um particularly with the weekend 2047 01:21:13,120 --> 01:21:14,560 in there for teachers to sort of have a 2048 01:21:14,560 --> 01:21:15,840 chance to regroup. then they also have 2049 01:21:15,840 --> 01:21:17,760 that half day on the 31st to do some of 2050 01:21:17,760 --> 01:21:20,960 their mandatory trainings. Um, 2051 01:21:20,960 --> 01:21:23,280 so I I do think it's feasible and then 2052 01:21:23,280 --> 01:21:24,560 our students aren't starting until the 2053 01:21:24,560 --> 01:21:27,840 31st. Um, and then also make September a 2054 01:21:27,840 --> 01:21:29,520 little less disjointed if we move that 2055 01:21:29,520 --> 01:21:32,159 PD day before. 2056 01:21:32,159 --> 01:21:34,159 >> Um, I don't know. 2057 01:21:34,159 --> 01:21:36,960 >> I would love to see a PD at least one PD 2058 01:21:36,960 --> 01:21:40,159 day before school started just to 2059 01:21:40,159 --> 01:21:41,760 >> moving the first day for students to the 2060 01:21:41,760 --> 01:21:44,239 31st kicks us to the 22nd. 2061 01:21:44,239 --> 01:21:47,440 >> Yeah. So I I I 2062 01:21:47,440 --> 01:21:50,640 I'm really I I 2063 01:21:50,640 --> 01:21:51,600 >> understand the concerns. 2064 01:21:51,600 --> 01:21:54,880 >> 12 PD days though, right? 2065 01:21:54,880 --> 01:21:56,960 >> Well, you'd have to I mean you'd have to 2066 01:21:56,960 --> 01:21:59,760 get back two days to get you to the 2067 01:21:59,760 --> 01:22:01,920 17th. 2068 01:22:01,920 --> 01:22:02,239 >> Yep. 2069 01:22:02,239 --> 01:22:05,679 >> So with four full day PD and also one 2070 01:22:05,679 --> 01:22:07,920 opening day that gets to the 185, right? 2071 01:22:07,920 --> 01:22:09,840 when we when they had an agreement in 2072 01:22:09,840 --> 01:22:12,639 the past and David would has witnessed 2073 01:22:12,639 --> 01:22:14,960 this when I got here we were doing three 2074 01:22:14,960 --> 01:22:17,440 full day PD opening day which is four 2075 01:22:17,440 --> 01:22:20,480 full days and then four half days so it 2076 01:22:20,480 --> 01:22:22,719 was more PD time but it wasn't as 2077 01:22:22,719 --> 01:22:24,159 efficient that's why we went to back to 2078 01:22:24,159 --> 01:22:26,000 the four full day PD days and that's 2079 01:22:26,000 --> 01:22:28,080 been talked about PD council but then 2080 01:22:28,080 --> 01:22:30,239 when that happened students went to 181 2081 01:22:30,239 --> 01:22:31,679 days because we were losing time on 2082 01:22:31,679 --> 01:22:33,120 learning so we'd have to go back that 2083 01:22:33,120 --> 01:22:35,360 was the agreement that so it would still 2084 01:22:35,360 --> 01:22:37,600 be the same amount of this the day would 2085 01:22:37,600 --> 01:22:40,159 and the same and we we had um with 2086 01:22:40,159 --> 01:22:41,679 principles that I met with they felt it 2087 01:22:41,679 --> 01:22:43,920 was much more disruptive to families 2088 01:22:43,920 --> 01:22:45,679 when we added all those extra half days. 2089 01:22:45,679 --> 01:22:48,159 It's more days for child care needs and 2090 01:22:48,159 --> 01:22:51,040 things like that. Um and the scheduling 2091 01:22:51,040 --> 01:22:53,199 of PD was why we went to four full days 2092 01:22:53,199 --> 01:22:54,480 and that's been really helpful with the 2093 01:22:54,480 --> 01:22:56,400 two par days. So that was kind of all 2094 01:22:56,400 --> 01:22:57,840 the stuff that we've dealt with every 2095 01:22:57,840 --> 01:23:02,229 year. 2096 01:23:02,239 --> 01:23:05,840 report of April break 2097 01:23:05,840 --> 01:23:06,480 usually. 2098 01:23:06,480 --> 01:23:08,000 >> I'm speaking Anderson. 2099 01:23:08,000 --> 01:23:09,520 >> So I know we had and when in our 2100 01:23:09,520 --> 01:23:11,679 conversation earlier this week is there 2101 01:23:11,679 --> 01:23:13,360 I couldn't find you in the contract what 2102 01:23:13,360 --> 01:23:15,280 exactly the required number of hours 2103 01:23:15,280 --> 01:23:17,120 that the teachers have to have. I know 2104 01:23:17,120 --> 01:23:18,960 they have 185 paid days but those don't 2105 01:23:18,960 --> 01:23:21,280 all count as PD. What are the hours of 2106 01:23:21,280 --> 01:23:23,440 PD we need to 2107 01:23:23,440 --> 01:23:25,760 >> it's it's not to find the hours. It's 2108 01:23:25,760 --> 01:23:27,520 the past practice. That's what it's come 2109 01:23:27,520 --> 01:23:29,040 down to. So there there were two models. 2110 01:23:29,040 --> 01:23:30,560 It was one model that they had been 2111 01:23:30,560 --> 01:23:33,679 given uh four full day PDs which was the 2112 01:23:33,679 --> 01:23:35,840 24 hours and then there was an agreement 2113 01:23:35,840 --> 01:23:37,520 at some point. I don't know exactly when 2114 01:23:37,520 --> 01:23:39,360 that happened. The PD council met 2115 01:23:39,360 --> 01:23:40,960 because we have a PD council has to have 2116 01:23:40,960 --> 01:23:42,960 input into this and in those meetings 2117 01:23:42,960 --> 01:23:45,120 prior to both my arrival and I don't 2118 01:23:45,120 --> 01:23:46,480 know if David knows when that shift 2119 01:23:46,480 --> 01:23:48,639 happened but they was an agreement and a 2120 01:23:48,639 --> 01:23:50,159 president set that they would do three 2121 01:23:50,159 --> 01:23:52,320 full day I'm sorry. Yeah, three full day 2122 01:23:52,320 --> 01:23:55,120 and four half days. So then that would 2123 01:23:55,120 --> 01:23:56,560 be the model. I would think the PD 2124 01:23:56,560 --> 01:23:58,719 council would expect that. We we'd have 2125 01:23:58,719 --> 01:24:01,280 to bargain that with them um and meet 2126 01:24:01,280 --> 01:24:04,000 with them about that which would make 2127 01:24:04,000 --> 01:24:07,280 seven more days for parent more days for 2128 01:24:07,280 --> 01:24:08,719 parents to have child care because of 2129 01:24:08,719 --> 01:24:08,880 those. 2130 01:24:08,880 --> 01:24:11,840 >> Is it three full days or two? 2131 01:24:11,840 --> 01:24:12,639 >> Two. 2132 01:24:12,639 --> 01:24:14,719 >> Right now it's the four full days. But 2133 01:24:14,719 --> 01:24:17,920 when Nope, it's one day for opening and 2134 01:24:17,920 --> 01:24:21,120 four full day PDS. when we went to the 2135 01:24:21,120 --> 01:24:23,280 when we had the model in place with the 2136 01:24:23,280 --> 01:24:25,760 three full day PDs, it was opening day, 2137 01:24:25,760 --> 01:24:27,920 three full day PDs and then four half 2138 01:24:27,920 --> 01:24:31,360 days so that they were getting um a 2139 01:24:31,360 --> 01:24:34,880 little more PD in that model. 2140 01:24:34,880 --> 01:24:38,480 So I think that the precedent was that was the precedent that the teachers 2141 01:24:38,480 --> 01:24:42,470 had in the past. 2142 01:24:42,480 --> 01:24:44,000 So we'd have to bargain the impact 2143 01:24:44,000 --> 01:24:50,790 probably of the change. 2144 01:24:50,800 --> 01:24:52,639 or at least with the PD council I would 2145 01:24:52,639 --> 01:24:55,120 think. 2146 01:24:55,120 --> 01:24:56,719 >> I am concerned pushing the date as far 2147 01:24:56,719 --> 01:24:59,440 as the 22nd just knowing snow could be a 2148 01:24:59,440 --> 01:25:02,000 thing and well and my guess is though I 2149 01:25:02,000 --> 01:25:03,520 don't have anything to support this so 2150 01:25:03,520 --> 01:25:06,320 I'm just totally guessing but my had to 2151 01:25:06,320 --> 01:25:08,480 guess I'd say the attendance is worse on 2152 01:25:08,480 --> 01:25:11,199 the 22nd than it is you know August 2153 01:25:11,199 --> 01:25:12,320 26th. 2154 01:25:12,320 --> 01:25:12,639 >> Yes. 2155 01:25:12,639 --> 01:25:14,239 >> Yeah. 2156 01:25:14,239 --> 01:25:15,520 >> But again I'm just totally making that 2157 01:25:15,520 --> 01:25:16,320 up. 2158 01:25:16,320 --> 01:25:19,199 >> Yeah.

Right. 3051 01:58:00,080 --> 01:58:02,480 So, some of those you were around two 3052 01:58:02,480 --> 01:58:04,159 years ago will recall that we sent a 3053 01:58:04,159 --> 01:58:06,800 letter. Um, 3054 01:58:06,800 --> 01:58:11,119 I basically sort of took that and and updated it and changed some some 3055 01:58:11,119 --> 01:58:14,800 things. Um, but just for the public to 3056 01:58:14,800 --> 01:58:17,360 know, we we received the governor's 3057 01:58:17,360 --> 01:58:20,080 budget came out a couple weeks ago and 3058 01:58:20,080 --> 01:58:22,000 Hollison's chapter 70, which is school 3059 01:58:22,000 --> 01:58:25,440 funding, uh, was up a very meager uh, 3060 01:58:25,440 --> 01:58:28,800 2%. Uh, the overall chapter 70 budget in 3061 01:58:28,800 --> 01:58:31,840 the governor's uh, budget was up 3.4%. 3062 01:58:31,840 --> 01:58:33,360 So, it was below that. I will say in 3063 01:58:33,360 --> 01:58:34,560 fairness that there are some surrounding 3064 01:58:34,560 --> 01:58:35,840 districts like Framingham that are 3065 01:58:35,840 --> 01:58:37,920 getting even less, which is I don't 3066 01:58:37,920 --> 01:58:40,320 fully understand. there's some 3067 01:58:40,320 --> 01:58:44,000 enrollment things, but um but 2% is is 3068 01:58:44,000 --> 01:58:45,920 just, you know, in my mind unacceptable. 3069 01:58:45,920 --> 01:58:47,760 It's it's below the 2 and a half% of of 3070 01:58:47,760 --> 01:58:50,400 Prop 2 and a half.
