K – 12 Projections for September 2015
(based on moving along December 2013 actuals)
Grades K – 5
2062 -388 (to gr. 6) + 294 (new K) + 40 (grade K to 1 growth) = 2008
Down 54, plus net other in/out migration
4203
Grades 6-8
976 - 342 (to HS) + 388 (from grade 5) – 20 (to p.s.) = 1002
Up 26, plus net other in/out migration
Projected
K -12
Grades 9-12
1131 + 342 (from grade 8) – 255 (graduates) – 25 (to p.s.) = 1193
Up 62, plus other net in/out migration
Projections assume only private school out-migration and only K-1 new growth; so
they are conservative based upon past experience of at least some other net
increases.
BUDGET PROCESS for FY 2015
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, buildings and grounds supervisor,
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 buildings and
grounds supervisor 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 PowerPoint
FY 2015 – WORKING DRAFT PROPOSALS
The next several slides list administrationrecommended proposals, by category (below); those
costs have been included under the related Functions
in the preliminary budget proposal figures.
•
•
•
•
enrollment related requests
other needs for personnel or services
facilities needs
needed improvements in current programs and
practices
The blue shaded slide includes two proposals that are
not recommended to be funded at this time.
Enrollment related requests - These requests reflect
both the anticipated new secondary students for
September 2015 and the underfunding of prior year
requests (as enrollments have grown over time).
• 2.7 elementary classroom teachers – to move
existing class groups along, support an additional
anticipated kindergarten section, and restore .2 of
art
• 4.5 secondary FTEs – to address larger enrollments
in grade 6 and in core subjects at grades 6-12
• Increased support hours for the HS language lab
(1.5 per day) – to serve the increased number of
foreign language classes
• Additional HS activities advisor stipends (2) – to
reflect growing HS population and existing clubs
now supported by volunteer advisors
• Additional HS activities advisor stipends (2) – to
provide for additional activities in areas suggested
by students
• Additional summer work days (1/MS counselor) –
to reflect MS enrollment growth
• Additional coaches (3) for boys and girls golf and
for swimming/diving – to provide for increase
student numbers, instructional focus/expertise, and
supervision of concurrent activities
Positions or services that are necessary to meet unique
student needs and changes in enrollment demographics –
Some roles existed formerly or were previously contracted
out, but continue to be important to support student learning
or other physical or social-emotional health needs.
• 2.25 AC FTEs – to restore full time adjustment counselor
services to the middle and elementary schools for student
behavioral and family support in both proactive and
reactive ways
• 1.0 Out-of District Coordinator – to change existing role
from contracted to employee status; more hours and
greater flexibility and efficiency (partially offset by IDEA
funding)
• 1.0 ABA Specialist – to change role from contracted to
employee status; more hours and greater flexibility and
efficiency (partially offset by IDEA funding)
• 0.5 HS psychologist – to meet growing IEP caseload and
number of required evaluations; to provide greater equity
among buildings
• Increased tutor hours (1.0 per day) for the HS transition
room – to provide services throughout the school day and
support students who are returning to school after recent
physical or emotional health issues or other absences
• Increased health aide hours (1.5 per day) for the HS health
room – to provide coverage across the entire school day;
support student health needs and to address the growing
complexity and increasing number of medical issues
Care of grounds and facilities – These recommendations
address both increased and unmet needs, increased square
footage and complexity of the new middle school, restoration
of a HS custodial position and a district-wide maintenance
worker, and a growing backlog of maintenance issues.
• 3.0 custodians (two at HMS and one at the HS) – reflection
of square footage analysis and need to restore a previously
lost position
• 0.3 field maintenance increase at the high school athletic
complex – to address increased use and scope of upkeep of
the new athletic complex including fields maintenance,
parking expansion, and the concession, bleachers, and press
box facilities
•
1.0 maintenance worker – to address growing backlog of
issues in all buildings and prevent further erosion of
upkeep capability
•
Increased overtime hours (.3 FTE equivalence) – to address
maintenance of middle school and elementary community
fields and safe upkeep of school playgrounds
•
Alarm monitoring for all buildings – to address a new
requirement for fire alarm monitoring in all HPS facilities
Needed improvements in current programs and practices
• Increased paraeducator hours (1.5 per day) for HS
Postsecondary Planning Center – to provide for increased
usage and need for additional non-school day availability
• Change in the Post Secondary Planning Center coordinator
role from paraeducator to tutor status – to reflect the
professional nature of the role and the scope and expertise
of expected tasks
• Increased hours (to full time) for transportation secretary –
to reflect the recent addition of vehicles and drivers and the
anticipation of a new Transportation Supervisor in March
2014
• Technology-related professional development – to reflect
increasing needs for training, course work, and sub
coverage for training activities
Requests from principals that were NOT INCLUDED in
this budget proposal and are NOT RECOMMENDED
at this time –
These requests do not rise to the same level of
priority for the FY 15 recommended budget as other
requests, but may become a need at a later time.
• MS guidance counselor
• special education teacher for a small cohort of
post kindergarten-aged children with more
intensive needs
