Several revolving accounts support entire programs that do not therefore appear in the operating budget (ex. KIA, Food Services Program, Driver Education, etc.). Other revolving accounts collect fees and tuitions that are used to support certain aspects of school programs (ex. Athletic fees, field and building use fees, PreK typical child tuitions, etc.).

18. FY 2017 – NEW PROPOSALS The slides that follow list categories of proposals being recommended by the administration at this time; related costs have been included in the preliminary budget proposal figures. previously deferred or unfunded needs unique student needs and challenges other programmatic or support service needs A number of other administrator requests, while worthy of consideration, were not included in the preliminary proposal to the School Committee.

20. Previously deferred or unfunded requests These requests reflect previously identified needs that remain unmet. Increased cost of first year of 5-year bus lease (with 1 additional bus) – increase projected at 25% for all new buses in bid specs. Additional large bus driver (HPS employee) – to accommodate increase in middle school enrollment where ridership is high and requires all 21 proposed large buses. Math tutor hours for each elementary school (25/wk. for each school) - to increase attention to mathematics interventions, especially for underperforming students at grades 3-5. 1.0 maintenance worker – third year request to restore maintenance capability, with special attention to elementary and middle school fields and playground issues. 1.0 special education teacher (.5 each at East and South) – budgeted last year as part of FDK, but hiring deferred as result of need for 16 th session, when K revenue was not yet certain.

21. Positions or services necessary to meet unique student needs These requests reflect the changing demographics of the HPS population. 1.0 secondary school nurse (net cost of replacing aide role) - part of a multi-year effort to provide both RN and DESE - licensed nurses (replacing current aide roles) at both HHS and HMS to support student health needs and address the growing complexity and increasing number of serious medical issues in our largest buildings. 1.0 MS guidance counselor – to meet enrollment and growing social, emotional and personal counseling needs of the large HMS enrollment. Transition Room tutor hours (25/wk.) for HMS – to address needs similar to those the HS Transition Room serves.

22. Other proposals to address programmatic and support service needs.2 FTE Elementary Math Specialist – to increase from 1.8 to 2.0 math specialist services shared among 4 schools. In addition to providing support and modeling for teachers, role will also monitor and direct instruction for requested tutor hours for direct services to needy students. 1.0 HS health/PE teacher – to serve growing HS enrollment (currently served by only 2.0 PE teachers) and address the need for additional health education instruction. This role is also a component of a proposed change in HHS graduation requirements. 1.0 shared elementary technology assistant (or equivalent in per diem hourly support) – to manage setup and maintenance needs of increased technology in each of the schools. This role will allow the building tech specialists to continue with their focus on teaching and supporting teachers in technology integration.

23. Other Needs (Continued) 1.0 Special Education administrative/instructional support role – This position will provide support for the increasing demand for timely decision-making, supervision of instructional staff, and responsiveness to parents not possible with the current resources at the central office level. We are looking at several possible role descriptions and compensation models for meeting these needs..2 MS art teacher – to address the need for additional art instruction as the largest classes move into grades 7 and 8. Currently HMS has only 1.6 art FTEs. Incremental cost of moving Post-Secondary Planning Coordinator from Tutor rate to 1.0 FTE counselor – to ensure continuity of staffing from one year to the next. Since the inception of this role, we have lost tutors (all certified in guidance) to full time positions in other districts.

28. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING! That is the overview. More detail is available. What questions do you have?

29. PERSONNEL CHANGES FULL YEAR LEAVES OF ABSENCE  Twelve full year LOAs in FY 16  All are in Proposed Budget at “best guess” as to return or not, in the fall. Current best guess is that they will return and the budget reflects that salary.  Formal confirmations for all are expected by March 1 (contractual date) or before.  One formal (and one possible) LOA request for FY 17 known to date. Little, if any, savings is anticipated in this case, because of the particular license and degree status required.

30. BUDGET PROCESS for FY 2017 School Committee meets in a planning session and then develops and adopts Guiding Principles, Assumptions, and budget calendar Requests from departments go to building principals Requests from principals, technology manager, maintenance personnel, and student services director come to central office Superintendent and assistant superintendent meet with building principals and directors to discuss needs and review requests Business director meets with technology, students services, and maintenance personnel to review requests Central office administrators establish district priorities and develop administration-proposed budgets Proposed operating budget is presented to School Committee, initially through budget message and then with a PowerPoint at the first work session in January.

31. PERSONNEL CHANGES RETIREMENTS  Five retirements for June 2016 are known as of today. One more retirement will occur in March.  All six are reflected in budget (with anticipated savings already taken).  Three of six benefit from contractual “early notification benefit” that reduces turnover savings.  The number of additional retirements, if any, is anticipated to be small.

32. THINKING ABOUT OTHER CHANGES AND POTENTIAL REDUCTIONS OR POSSIBLE REVENUES ( where are the biggest swings possible? ) PERSONNEL CATEGORIES – New full year LOAs, unknown resignations or retirements, FY 16 LOA decisions SPECIAL EDUCATION – Tuition rate decisions by school/collaborative or OSD rate request decisions, anticipated or pending placements, unanticipated placements STATE FUNDING – CHAPTER 70 Review Commission recommendations (if any), cuts to local aid or CB allocations OFFSETS and/or REVOLVING ACCOUNTS – New fee/tuition structure revenues, increased RA offsets to Operating Budget VOCATIONAL EDUCATION – Potential new student(s)

33. WHAT BUDGET SHOULD BE PRESENTED AT THE JOINT MEETING? Questions for SC discussion: Does the proposed budget, aside from cost, reflect the SC priorities as regards needs? Is there consensus on amending the proposal by adding or deleting items at this point? Administration’s recommendation: Present the needs-based preliminary proposal to the Joint Meeting on January 28 th. Rationale:  There still are several weeks before any group votes; that means lots of time for potential changes that may reduce the bottom line, thus allowing for more needed items to be retained.  The Joint Meeting is a week earlier this year.  The Jan. 28th th session will be the first televised public viewing of the proposed budget, and meeting attendees and viewers should see the entire proposal.

34. Requests from administrators NOT INCLUDED in this budget proposal and NOT RECOMMENDED at this time These requests are all worthwhile but, in the opinion of the central office administration, do not rise to the same level of priority for the FY 17 proposed budget as do other requests; so each is recommended to be deferred at this time..6 MS special education teacher – to meet increasing number of children who need a skills-based learning environment. MS language lab coverage hours – to provide for setup and oversight of equipment and for teacher support. Increased paraeducator hours for PRS and South literacy support – to restore parity of service for RTI/TRI..1 MS foreign language and.1677 PRS music – to restore two teachers at part time status (self-requested LOA) to 1.0. 1.0 MS/HS social studies teacher – to lower class sizes in several courses.
