Supply Social Studies Science. I didn't know why. We're not getting anything 24 00:01:55,310 --> 00:01:57,950 for supplies or if it was a lot somewhere else. 25 00:01:57,950 --> 00:02:04,310 Well, typically, this is in a Q&A. It's more of an opportunity for you to comment on the budget. 26 00:02:05,810 --> 00:02:09,570 But then that would be my, there will be a question. I was just curious about that. 27 00:02:09,570 --> 00:02:10,970 Well, the team, the team, the team. 28 00:02:11,330 --> 00:02:18,110 If there's no objection from the school committee, our team, our budget director Toni Marts and the superintendent said they'd be willing to answer questions tonight. 29 00:02:18,930 --> 00:02:20,730 So, why don't we take that one up first, okay? 30 00:02:20,730 --> 00:02:43,810 Okay, so these directors had met with me and the assistant superintendent back in October and they requested that all these lines be condensed, so if you look further down, we condensed the supply line item, so you'll see curriculum for supplies for STEM, PD for STEM, and admin curriculum resources for STEM. 31 00:02:43,810 --> 00:02:48,530 So we condensed all the individual line items and then put them under 32 00:02:49,590 --> 00:02:51,870 humanity's or ELL I believe. 33 00:02:52,310 --> 00:02:57,050 So we rolled it up into one line rather than have them broken out and be 34 00:02:57,050 --> 00:02:58,710 so restricted by the line itself. 35 00:02:58,890 --> 00:03:00,930 Right, and that was at the request of the directors. 36 00:03:02,390 --> 00:03:11,240 Okay, I'm just just wondering about the BB, this is what I'm looking on page 27. 37 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,880 the whole K-3 schools. 38 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,840 I'm just noticing maybe it was just to have equity. 39 00:03:19,140 --> 00:03:22,480 I'm noticing we all have 30,000 now, 40 00:03:22,540 --> 00:03:26,520 except for far as still, for general in actually, 41 00:03:26,780 --> 00:03:28,540 just for educational supplies. 42 00:03:28,620 --> 00:03:31,300 I'm assuming the ed supplies mean educational supplies. 43 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,800 And the texts, I'm thinking everything got condensed. 44 00:03:35,220 --> 00:03:36,700 Is that what that is? 45 00:03:39,650 --> 00:03:43,150 And I'm assuming far is still just because they're a small population. 46 00:03:46,460 --> 00:03:52,440 And as far as the elementary school support, I know that's to help, so you don't have to 47 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:58,580 have a full-time, it's to help the classroom teachers, I know that, without having to have 48 00:03:58,580 --> 00:04:09,020 a full-time person, classroom teacher to hire, I was wondering why you have an additional 49 00:04:09,020 --> 00:04:21,140 I went from 16 to 17, but at the BB, it went down to 2, we went down to 2, and we are the second of the third. 50 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,520 BB is the second of the third highest population. 51 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:24,800 What page you want? 52 00:04:25,020 --> 00:04:25,680 I'm sorry. 53 00:04:26,220 --> 00:04:28,620 Well, I wrote my notes on page 18. 54 00:04:29,900 --> 00:04:32,200 Each K through eight school. 55 00:04:32,220 --> 00:04:34,440 It starts with BB because alphabetically, 56 00:04:36,620 --> 00:04:38,600 I was looking at the elementary. 57 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:44,640 to be support staff, which is in every school has one. 58 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:50,600 So BB went from three to two, very way went from three to four, far as still 59 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:55,160 Lyndon stayed as three, Salem went from four to five. 60 00:04:55,620 --> 00:04:59,520 But when I did like the student population with the general, it's supposed to be in the general 61 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:06,840 education classrooms, I noticed that BB was second highest, but yet we went down to two. 62 00:05:06,840 --> 00:05:11,460 I'm just wondering why this support there isn't going to be as much as the other schools. 63 00:05:11,820 --> 00:05:13,560 All right, see what the team has to say. 64 00:05:13,740 --> 00:05:19,380 So, originally we did put in three, but they're only utilizing two. 65 00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:24,060 So, if they're only going to utilize two, we put one at a school that's going to utilize that other position. 66 00:05:24,260 --> 00:05:25,940 I'm not just going to leave it empty all year. 67 00:05:26,460 --> 00:05:33,400 The BB only utilize two this year and therefore we only left two there and gave another school one that has requested an additional one. 68 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:41,300 So if there was, is there a possibility the BB could get three if there were more people applying for that position? 69 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:49,380 Well, so we will look at the budget if there are more people applying or if one doesn't get utilized that another school that had requested it, then I'll just get flip back to BB. 70 00:05:51,060 --> 00:05:55,020 Okay, so I'm just thinking about how the teachers could use that. 71 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,340 You know, I just always assume that there weren't enough applicants. 72 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:04,940 That's what I was assuming they weren't enough applicants for, but I know that it's that I know 73 00:06:04,940 --> 00:06:10,820 I'd be personally that teachers could always use the extra help, the extra support and I just 74 00:06:10,820 --> 00:06:16,260 noticed that all of them even far or still had three and they have a small school and BB has two. 75 00:06:16,980 --> 00:06:19,240 I just just curious about that. 76 00:06:23,770 --> 00:06:26,110 Like I said, I didn't think this was going to be the format. 77 00:06:28,830 --> 00:06:35,570 I didn't know where the librarian and health teachers, the librarian, there's one or two 78 00:06:35,570 --> 00:06:35,930 coming. 79 00:06:36,090 --> 00:06:37,070 Is there a second one coming?

He has been invaluable in monitoring the hallways keeping. 196 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:06,940 Students moving. And he also is the author of those incredible newsletters that we send out. 197 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:15,180 So Steve has been a real value added addition to modern high school and to the modern public schools 198 00:15:15,180 --> 00:15:21,580 in terms of his communications expertise. He's been a journalist for decades and has done a terrific 199 00:15:21,580 --> 00:15:27,100 job. But also his report with the students.

I see very little loitering or problems there. I attribute 212 00:16:28,300 --> 00:16:30,480 a much of that to Mr. Frack is diligence. 213 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:35,880 Yeah, and if I might, from where I sit, the new principal, principal, Mr. Angelow said, 214 00:16:36,020 --> 00:16:42,740 if he could have another two or three of those type of positions, he would feel really solid 215 00:16:43,300 --> 00:16:48,560 about the entire perimeter of the high school.
