So those kids that are struggling, who can't have IEPs, don't qualify for 504s, they need biology B, that need chemistry, um I think it's >> Fundamentals, they need to get that. So we need to focus right now where our holes are. And I feel like it's at Tahondo. The holes are at Tahondo right now. We've cut cut cut cut cut cut cut cut cut cut cut cut cut cut cut cut cut cut cut cut cut cut at Tanto and that's where our holes are a coach sure can help further down the road but it's not going to help immediate and the best chance to help immediate is to get somebody working directly with those students. So, I know that's the administration's wish list, but I feel like we need to refocus back to the students, hit those holes. And if you don't have a teacher, you have three teachers to do all of high school, then they can't take their other classes.
They can't take manufacturing because it doesn't fit in their schedule. They can't take French for doesn't fit in their schedule. and we trying to make as many well-developed people because what if her daughter wants to be a French teacher, like you know what I mean? Like we're like pigeonholding them, not allowing them to go on their pathway and there's kids who want to be a doctor and we can't offer them anatomy and physiology. We can't offer them AP bio. So, we're doing a disservice to those kids, too. So, I really think we need to focus a lot more on the students if we're going to have wish lists. We're going to have priorities and hit those holes instead of trying to add it. But we need to concentrate. >> Thank you. >> All right. So, why don't we vote on this? That was good. So, >> thank you.
So, hold on. Um Aaron, can you put that >> screen up? Turn your screen off. >> Know my password. So do all of us. >> I lowerase. >> Oh, come on, dude. >> He jinxed them before. >> We're all watching. >> I know. Huh? Under pressure. >> So that's uh >> 210 that we're adding to the total budget. >> 240. Yeah, >> it's the the nurse >> the reading specialist. The nurses on >> right check is on here. >> 240 >> 99 is 240. >> I mean it's 210 is the math. 9090 and 30. You check something. You got something wrong. This is why you don't do it on live TV. >> No because of the bio. >> You zeroed out something. >> Oh no. The 15 and 15. That's the 30 there. >> Yeah. No, that's right. >> Yeah. Those three add up to 240.
>> 240 total. >> Question my own math. >> He took 30 out for the superintendent. >> I'll make sure it's right. >> I only taught it. >> So, why don't we Can we add the ELA coach and vote on the ceiling budget with that? >> I agree with that. >> What happens? Boilson came back today. They got $200,000 from uh DCR. What happens last summer? They had another 50 they found for us. So, what happens if they come back in two weeks and they find some more money? So, you said yes. CLA coach, >> I say yes. >> I mean, >> we're voting on the CLA. >> I'm very confused of your conversation right now. You're yelling that there's not going to be an override, but then you're asking to add more things to it. >> I'm saying to vote on this right now and then I think we need there's definitely going to need to be cuts, >> but now I said >> fixing the problem at the elementary school in there.
Sorry. >> Yeah, that's right, Eric. Yeah, >> that's um 4060. What match is that? Specialist teacher. >> Yeah, that's right. >> I must have been in deleted something. Sorry. >> Right. 3654. Yeah. Sorry. I must have somewhere along my invert that existed. I know that. >> So now we're >> So vote on these numbers. So, we're going to we're going to when we when we make our motion, we'll vote on >> adding the specific things in. We'll put a caveat that Aaron will double check and send the correct number to the town. >> That'll take care of that. And in the interim, you'll be looking as an admin team. We'll look underneath every rock we can. We're hoping to see that maybe numbers come back better from the state, right? We don't know anything yet. That's a tough part with being a regional school district as opposed to municipality.
We got to get ours done in 45 days. Um, but >> what about the uh Al's asking about the tech support at 65? >> Nope. >> Sorry. >> I mean, you know, I think we're gonna end up probably having to cut. >> I mean, with the ELA coach and the reading specialist, is there any way you could five of each and have that one person? I mean, >> I think that creates >> additional problems. the money will be in the budget and then the district the administration can decide can use the money as they see fit. So if they have a windfall, they can hire that tech guy. >> And Jess, those those are notes that I'm putting here that I'll be talking, right? Is there a person that's out there that could be a reading specialist in ELA coach? We those are conversations that we would have to look at, right?
Because we know that those are conversations will be continue. >> Is that our final number? Remember, this is only operating. >> So that's where we get to. So, I guess what I would appreciate is a vote on the additions you're making >> and then we would do a vote on the overall budget in accordance with this. >> Okay. >> Right. For operations. >> Yep. >> Uh, is anybody So, I'm asking the committee right now. So, before we vote, everybody's okay with this or does anybody have anything else to say about this? Okay, we're good with this. vote on the operating. >> So, I'd like I'd like you to vote to add these. >> Okay. Can I please have a motion? >> Uh, hold on. >> Do you want have something? >> Or you could make separate motions. Add the biology teacher at the ELA coach.
>> Do you want me to make a motion to vote to add these four? >> Yeah, I think it would be helpful motion to vote. That way, it's on the record that you're voting. They're not separate. >> Let's make it separate. It's easier. >> No, no, no. Not each one. But separate from the number. Uh could I have a motion please to add the position of biology teacher one FTE ELA coach one FTE district float nurse 6 FTE and the reading specialist one FTE to the total operating budget >> Jess. All right. Anybody discuss? All in favor? Hi. >> Uh, let's go. Jess. >> Hi, >> Megan. >> Hi, >> Beth. >> Hi, >> Lisa. Hi, >> Jackie. Hi. >> Okay, the motion passes. >> Second, Chad, you good? >> Hold on. >> So, it's just the motion to add those four positions. >> All right.
So, now this dollar number here, Aaron, includes those four positions. >> This now includes those positions. Yes. >> And you want me to read this whole thing? >> Yes. >> Is that correct? >> Yes. Yes. All right. So, we have all of the lines that make up the budget covered. >> And I want to add in um I want to add in some caveat that if your spreadsheet has messed up the formulas or the numbers, >> you have the authority to fix it tomorrow in your office while you have the time to look at it without having to get us back to again. >> Yeah. Minor errors, y scrers errors. Uh, can I have a motion, please, that the Burl Boilston School Committee vote to approve an FY27 operating budget of 26,467,728 which includes the following offsets to reduce the budget. School choice 710,000 circuit breaker reimbursement 926,000 IDF IDA grant funds 270,000 funded through the following projected revenue >> bottom top number by dollar >> it's rounded >> there goes our that's why we're putting a caveat >> funded through the following projected revenues Berlin operating assessment 9,166,930 operating assessment 13,4328,843 chapter 7 state aid 3,229,646 chapter 71 transportation reimbursement 356,602 excess and deficiency new 200,000 Medicaid reimbursement 35,000 investment income 35,000 charter school reimbursement 11,76 with the caveat that Aaron Osborne finance director for the district will double check these numbers numbers and send the correct exact figures to the towns >> in time.
>> That's right. >> So moved >> without needing additional vote from the school committee for these items. >> Thank you. >> Did you read the total? >> Read the read. >> 26,46728. I read it at the very beginning. >> You read it at the beginning. >> Yes. The dollar difference is rounding. It's just there's rounding in there. It's all >> the motion. I have asked somewhere. >> All right. Jackie >> second >> and Beth. Okay. Anyone want to discuss that? >> All in favor? Jess. >> I. >> Megan. >> Hi. >> Beth. >> Hi. >> Lisa. >> Hi. >> Jackie. >> Hi. >> All right. That motion passes. Thank you. >> Capital. >> I need a cookie. >> Five minute recess. >> Do you want to take a break? >> A break. All right. >> Uh, what do we got here, Aaron? >> So, this is back to the capital.
This is this matches those prior pages. This includes the items that we agree on next round we may take out at Boilston. But just for the sake of trying to just keep up with with where we are, we know we're coming back anyhow. So, you know, I I'm fine explaining that to them that, you know, we understand that the parking and the um wood chips to rubber surface may not be tenable at this time and and we understand that. Does anybody have any other questions about capital before we go through this? >> So why are we including it if we know it's >> I would just take it out. >> Take it out now. >> Certainly the parking >> I think I have that math somewhere. >> Yeah. >> Um yeah I I mean is the school committee generally amendable to taking that out? >> If we know a $600,000 parking lot's not going to happen this year.
I think I feel comfortable taking it out. >> Well, that the parking lot's not in it. >> That was already taken. >> It's the two It's parking lot and >> that's the bees pavement, not the Toronto parking lot. >> Uh, look, I think I have parking lot. >> If we're going to if we're going to take those numbers out, we're going to need that. Take a break and let him do it without everyone watching. >> Yeah. Or we could make the motion. Uh >> just make the motion and then >> we could we can reduce it. >> I don't want them. This is how we got into trouble last time. >> Yes. >> We've gotten in trouble multiple times. >> I'm calling for a fivem minute recess here. Give Aaron a second. >> Turn the projector off. >> Everybody go get a cookie. Do something.
>> Sorry. I get a picture of these. >> I have an order for We're gonna we're gonna get back to business here. Thank you. >> I know. I know. >> Good to go. All right. So, all right. Um, we were good to go and then Aaron just walked out of the room. No, there he is. There he is. That was Joe. That was Joe. I saw a blue shirt. Come on. >> Aaron, what do we have now? So, this is the um capital budget. >> We call we call this meeting back to order >> from recess. There we go. Wait, wait, wait, wait. >> No, he said we're good to go. Are you good, Alex? >> Yeah. >> Okay, we're good. All right, we're back. We're back to work. All right. >> So, uh I apologize. Small typo caught in um the Tanto assessments. that's adjusted just um the boiling capital has come down from uh 1375 uh down to a,53,815.
The bulk of that 985,000 is the debt that I mean that that's never not going away until the debt's done. So, you know, that's just includes the $68,000 that Boilston has indicated they're comfortable picking up. >> And this is the entire capital budget. >> This should be the entire capital budget and the three sources that those would come out of. >> And are we doing a vote on each individual town as well or is this the only vote? Uh you could you could do it all as one just as long as you taught you you say you know town of boilston assessment 92 town of yeah Berlin then boilston a million 5315 and then boil c internal capital our capital account >> and should we put a uh another little caveat on it that you can adjust typos and >> you're welcome to >> or we need to >> I won't argue >> 48 hours to get a meeting once we decide it right >> and and that's what taking out the playground chips and the back paving of element.
So this so this capital so the Berlin capital is as on the slide that we saw earlier. Boilston capital is debt in the bathroom >> and and the boilston internal capital is what we saw on the slide earlier. >> Yep.
>> Anybody have any questions? I have a motion, please, to vote to approve fiscal 27 capital budget of 2,446,950 funded through the following revenue sources. Town of Berlin capital assessment 92,296 Town of Boilston Capital Assessment 1,53,815. Town of Boilston internal capital use $490,839 with the caveat that Aaron Osborne, director of finance, may confirm that these numbers are correct before certifying to the town without additional school committee vote. >> So move >> Jess. >> Yes. >> Second. >> I heard Megan first. Anyone have anything on that? Oh god. >> All in favor? Jess. >> I. >> Megan. >> Hi. >> Beth. >> Hi. >> Lisa. >> Hi. >> Jackie. Hi. >> All right. That motion passes.

I mean, and January was a 5,000 It's actually >> It's not like it was another 100 gallons, right?
to the people in the audience. I absolutely agree with Levi that I think especially when it comes to school safety, it really takes everybody. Um we're seeing in recent events in nationwide news where um you know, school safety incidents have had implications for parents. You know, we saw a pretty big case with a with a conviction of a parent who had uh provided a gun, bought a gun for his son, which then ended up being used in a school shooting and uh pretty serious conviction on multiple charges in that case. So, it's more than just the school that is um involved in, you know, school safety and doing we all have to do our part to make sure that we're keeping our kids as safe as we can. So from a legal perspective, probably the number one question I get is what you see here on the screen and that is what is a school corporation's legal obligation with respect to its kids when it comes to school safety.
