Recommended Budget 2010-2011
“It isn't sufficient just to want you've got to ask yourself
what you are going to do to
get the things you want.”
-United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt
Goals
 The goal of the 2010-2011 Torrington Public Schools
budget is to





Provide stability to our children
Provide the needs that will lead to academic progress during
an economic recession
Understand that we can want many things, we need some
things, BUT we can’t afford everything
Understand that we must at all times in the future practice
fiscal responsibility
Provide a transparent process
The Process
 The process used during the creation of the 2010-
2011 Torrington Public Schools budget was as
follows:





Allow each school leader to work with their parents, submit
requests, hold a dialog with administration, and view wants vs.
needs.
Create an accurate projection of revenues, enrollment, and
expenses.
Determine what were fixed costs and what could be deferred.
Maintain a sense of reality in hard economic times.
Protect positions that maintain class sizes
Despite everything we must make assumptions…
 Insurance/Benefit costs are projected at $1.8M+
 Insurance Surplus is projected at $1.0M
 Transportation Costs are held flat
 Educational Cost Sharing (ECS) revenue is held flat
 Special Education costs and Excess Cost Revenue
show a decrease

Board of Education Budget
2010-2011
2010 – 2011 ~ Instruction
 In 2010, Curriculum should be visible and online.
 We should have a continuum that spans K-12 and transition from
elementary through middle school and onto high school. We are
not there!
 If we continue with the same model we will get the same results.
 Creation of 6-12 Literacy Coordinator and 6-12 Math
Coordinator to develop and implement curriculum
 Comprehensive Professional Development Plan with less
consultants. (Savings $25K)
2010 – 2011 ~ Instruction
 After a review of needs there is a reorganization of
resources:

3.5 FTE teaching reduction at THS which includes consolidation of
Instructional Area Leaders (IAL); and changes based on enrollment
decreases; projected section need per THS.

The IAL was a .6 teaching / .4 IAL position. This change will increase
instructional time, course offerings, and provide some savings in low
interest areas.

We must closely monitor enrollment and classes at THS.

Implement Grade 3 of K-5 reading program for 2010-2011 (Savings of
$100K). Wait for data to substantiate the rest of the program.

Continued transformation of TMS – Teaming / Revision of APL program.
2010 – 2011 ~ Special Education
 Retirement of Director effective July 1, 2010.
 Reorganization of the department to include creation of
Out of District Special Education Coordinator.
 After a review of needs with Special Education Department
there is a recommended reduction of:
-14.0 FTE Special Education Para-Professionals. This is
coupled with revised scheduling procedures at schools.
 -2.0 FTE Special Education Teachers at THS based on
numbers.

2010 – 2011 ~ Special Education
 Restructure Psychologist positions from 6.0 FTE to 4.0 FTE
(Reduction of 2.0 FTE). Share positions across the district.
 Continue to reach agreements with providers to consolidate
and lower associated costs.
 Continue to open programs at our schools where there is
space and appropriate setting.
 Realize that an “out-placement” is not a “forever
placement.”
2010 – 2011 Staffing ~ ELL

ELL population is projected to increase by 27 students for 2010-2011. This is
approximately a 7.8% increase.
 Increases of services at the following schools:



TMS (.2 FTE)
East (.2 FTE)
Vogel (.4 FTE)
 Partner with ASPIRA on a national grant to provide additional services at TMS
(TPS cost $15K)
 Establish tutoring for ELL students at THS / TMS to provide for certified
tutoring on site, after school, or as needed. ($20K)
 Establish certified tutoring for Elementary students as needed (Grant Based)
2010 – 2011 ~ TAG / Enrichment
 Continue to provide the necessary (and IEP required)
services and best utilize resources for all students.
 Provide enrichment to more students at more levels.
 Reduction of TAG Elementary Teacher (-1.0 FTE) for an
estimated savings of $60K; The reduction has no impact
on current services for identified TAG students. TPS will
still provide six hours per week per school.
 Creation of $60K enrichment fund to be utilized for all
students at five elementary schools (Per pupil allocation)
2010 – 2011 ~ Guidance
 The American School Counselor Association (ASCA) calls for guidance levels to
be at 250:1 meanwhile the national average is 467:1. For 2009-2010 TPS was
near 230:1 and held a 4-year 15% drop-out percentage .
 Decreased enrollment at THS yet have kept same staff levels.
 Recommended restructuring of Guidance in TPS:


2.0 FTE reduction at THS. Case load for 10-11 is approx 300:1
1.0 FTE reduction at TMS. (7th and 8th grade focus)
 Recommended creation of Drop Out Prevention Specialist for grades 7-12 (1.0
FTE) to handle 300 at risk students
 Increased use of Home-School Liaison at TMS.
2010 – 2011 Staffing: Media Center
 According to data provided from media specialists the library hours
were reduced and book circulation decreased at three elementary
schools; However, time for students to use the library decrease in all
schools.
 Restructuring of Media Centers:
Shared Instruction at Elementary and TMS (reduction of 3.0 FTE)
 Return Media Para Position at Elementary (increase of 5.0 FTE)

 Increase circulation of books, protect the current instructional time,
and keep libraries open so that they are used.
2010 – 2011 ~Behavior / Discipline
 We have not been working to change behavior we are only disciplining
problems. We must change our practice!
 Recommended reduction of part time “Transitional Leader” (TL)
positions at THS (= .8 FTE).
 Creation of Behavior Intervention Specialist for grades 9-12 (1.0 FTE).
 Reposition use of security to TMS and THS (no reduction)
 Work with TPD to add SRO to best fit our needs at TMS. ($25,000)
 Improve use of Home School Liaison / Drop Out Specialist
2010 – 2011 ~ Technology

Move technology increases from Capital Budget to General Budget.
 Improve connectivity with implementation of fiber cable for $60,000 (increase
of $30K).
 Machine upgrades as planned for THS ($60K) and TMS ($80K)
 Lower repair budget (savings of $20K)
 Restructure Technology Department and change roles to provide technology
integration into classrooms , schools and central office.
 Explored shared services with City of Torrington to look at savings and better
use of technology. Partner with TFD and TPD on projects.
 Present long term Technology Plan to BOE in July of 2010
2010 – 2011 ~ Administration
 School size comparisons:
