001Before uh Mr. Maisy begins, we just have um two things um two resolutions to kind of pass. So um the first one is the board today received um Trusty Negron's resignation. So whereas Mr. Negron submitted his resignation from the Patrick Meford Union Free School District's District Board of Education to the district clerk on March 9th, 2026 with such resignation effective immediately. Now therefore, be it resolved that the board of education hereby acknowledges Mark Negron's resignation from the district board of education effective Monday, March 9th, 2026. >> But I have a motion to accept the resolution. >> I'll make a motion. >> Second. >> All in favor? >> I we thank Mark for his service and um we'll hopefully wish him the best of luck. Um the second one is we are going to approve a
002letter that was brought to our attention by students and generation citizens that needs to be approved by March 11th. And it's whereas the board of education hereby authorizes the letter of support for the town of Brook Haven TAP application which will support the proposals of sidewalks, pedestrian crosswalks, and traffic signals along Buffalo Avenue for pedestrian and student safety. Can I have a motion to accept? I'll make a motion. >> I'll second it. >> All in favor? >> All right. Passes. Now, uh, thank you everyone. And I will turn now the meeting over to Mr. Maisie. >> Good evening everyone. Welcome to budget workshop number two. Uh, we're going to take you through this evening um the areas of uh curriculum and instruction, all the various areas. There's a lot of material to cover. So, without
003further ado, I'm going to get started. But just a you know quick note I do want to tell you at the onset spoiler alert that um I really want to tell you uh that I want to applaud the efforts of my colleagues seated to your right and seated behind me because when we talk about this being a collaborative process um I always talk about how this is not done by the three of us here. this is done top to bottom. And you know in November when I met with everybody we issued a challenge saying given the uncertainty of what uh the next few months would bring on multiple levels and also given our historical increases over the last few years where we had nearly double digit increases um three of the last four years uh
004we issued that and you know it's not about being frugal and about being cheap. It's about being smarter with your money and and these people here behind me and in front of me uh have done a marvelous job. So, you're going to see that tonight on the slides. The slides will do the speaking for themselves, but I really wanted to call your attention to that to show you, like I said, just um how wonderful it is that we all work together here in this district. Uh just quick overview, this is our second budget workshop. The next one will be on March 30th. We'll go through the staffing benefits in front transfer um a bunch of other things and we'll look to adopt the budget that night and then the budget hearing is on May 7th.
005So we begin with our building budgets for the principles. Uh this is a little bit different. Um, I explain this every year that the way we do this, this is an equity based model that we look to provide our principles with a budget based on the enrollment for their building, the anticipated enrollment for their building. And then we have caveats for the number of students that they have in the buildings with disabilities andor uh the number of English language learners. So that's why you might see fluctuations in the numbers. So you notice everyone's got a positive increase on their budget line with the exception of Bay and the high school, but that's how this is uh derived for the principal budgets. Certainly the academic directors uh have more latitude than we're going to go through
006that right now. Uh starting with Mr. Krakco, who comes out of the gate strong, showing that he's not increasing uh either the health or the fizzed budgets. Those are zeros. Um and once again just utilizing the monies that we've allocated and find that he can still maintain the programs uh for our students using the monies that have been afforded to him previously. Uh on the side of athletics uh you'll see a slight increase on intram murals um there. But the ones I really wanted to highlight and I did the same thing as usual. I highlight the rows that I think you know just to call your attention to some of the significant changes whether they be increases or decreases. Uh but on the security lines at our secondary buildings, you'll recall at the beginning of
007the year, this is one of the superintendent's goals to maintain our focus on the safety and security of our students and our spectators. And this is a continuation of his efforts in that regard, working in a collaborative way with Mr. Ahar to make sure that we are adequately staffed for our athletic events. Now moving on for uh the rest of the areas within the athletics budget uh highlighted several lines at the top because even within there it's not just the increases but within it some of the more notable things that I think the the board and community would find interesting is uh for equipment these purchases include new treadmills at all all four of our secondary buildings. uh the final phase of outfitting the wellness center. This was a plan that we had come up
008with I think it was three years ago when we did the retrofitting as part of our inner fund. We moved downstairs with the wrestling room. We took apart the old wrestling room at Saxton on the first floor. Turned it into a multi-purpose space. Now that's been done. The floor has been done. Our maintenance crew has been involved. We've had a contractor and now Mr. KCO looks to outfit it with the fitness equipment. So you'll see that in there. and then additional spin bikes and new flooring at the multi-purpose fitness center at the high school. Uh moving down to the officials fees, you'll see a $12,000 increase there. That's in line with the section 11 contract uh in terms of the pay rate increases that we expect to see next year. And then finally on the
009contractual line, uh there's a proposed increase there uh of just over $30,000 that is primarily attributed to the costs that are in line with the new RFP for our middle school athletic trainer and also our dance team's transition to a more competitive model. Overall looking at a grand total for all these areas of about 129,000 or 6.74% increase. Uh he also has prepared the health services budget uh which is largely flat. That is a total of I'm sorry I apologize. the I'm sorry, the $8,900 is there for the increase related to rising costs that we are receiving from our competitive bidding. We utilize multiple nursing agencies uh because we have to. We don't have one agency that can fit um service all of our needs. We have multiple uh agencies and that's where you see
010that uh roughly that $9,000 that we're expecting in accordance with the bids that we've been receiving. Now, moving to the elementary English area. Uh, Miss Werno took over this. As you may recall, this is her first year, and she told me in no uncertain terms, she was not looking to do single-digit or double-digit increases. She told me she wanted to go for three dedigits, four-digit increases. She really wanted to jump off the board and, you know, make my life um interesting is the way she coined the phrase. Um, but I share this with you to tell you to to tell you that, uh, in all seriousness, um, we're going to talk a lot about this throughout the evening. You'll see the lines that are highlighted are under textbooks. So, we get textbook aid from the
011state. We have a certain, uh, dollar minimum that we need to hit and our expenditures in order to receive that maximum aid. We do this each and every year. certain years. Uh you may see this on the instructional services line. If we don't know exactly where they're going to end up, but we'll always make sure we hit that number. Uh we never never going to leave money on the table. But what the directors did, like I said, through this collaborative process amongst themselves with Ms. is to figure out how we think, like I said, the textbook monies will be spent this year. So, Miss Warner has um this in the English textbook area. That's where you see these increases. uh it's to introduce more proficient materials to insist with uh phonics in the KD2 level
012and then to provide authentic decodable text for our primary grade students uh especially those in our dual language program. And just because she wanted to keep the trend going, she also increased on the textbook side for social studies uh mentor text to support the new cross contract with uh uh was it Putinham new Putnham Boseies uh for the social studies English language arts curriculum. So, she has a modesty increase of $25,000 or $222.1%. And I believe she threw down the mantle when she did that. Just saying. So, now we move to Now we move to reading. Um, and Miss Mo and I were discussing this and has really done an amazing job here. She's showing like a $46,000 decrease on this on our vote on our budget in totality. Um, and you're going to see
013a lot of red as we go through this presentation. That's why I said I'm really um I really admire, like I said, what everyone has done here. And all kidding aside with Miss Maro, like I said, you're going to see how this looks in totality. Um, did I mention she had a $200,000 increase? I just want to make sure that was I didn't know if the mic picked that up. So, uh, on the reading side, um, Miss Moser said she's going to implement the evidence-based literary literary instruction. And what she's been able to do is decrease costs because it doesn't require us to use consumables. Um, and the teacher licenses are also less than last year. So, this is like, you know, being smarter with our money, getting the same amount for our instructional uh
014value except doing it uh for less. And that's we look for those kinds of efficiencies throughout um the business office. And now we're seeing that translate to our instructional side as well. Well done, Miss M. Uh, on the secondary English side, now um Mr. Hanley has a couple things here. a lot of red on there. You'll notice, like I said, I didn't highlight, but look at all the textbook money coming out of that code. Uh I did highlight the one line though because I thought it was interesting when we talked about the travel and conference line. That's for new professional development opportunities for our staff. um those for you know some related to implementing effective vocabulary strategies, some about utilizing AI, some uh curriculum writing and others for support of special education and again our
015English language learners on the social studies side under the contractual line we're looking to re he was looking to reallocate funds from other areas so other savings areas in the budget to bring it into this code to account for other competitions to afford our students further opportunities uh some in New York City including generation citizen and our model UN competitions and then uh in accordance with that on the field trips line there's an increase there uh to support like I said the transportation to these competitions but in totality he's looking at a $7,000 decrease or negative4%. Uh now moving to the library line, Miss Lombardo, um as similarly to Mr. Ms. uh Moser has looking to decrease the route, but really on the periodicals, um the savings is attributable to the purchase of more online
016versions of our books. So meeting students where they're at. Not everyone wants a paper. Some people prefer to read uh in a digital format and this enables us to not only meet that need, but also uh enjoy savings at the same time. um and also bring in more texts to boot. So she's looking at a modest decrease but a decrease nonetheless 4% on her budget. Now moving to elementary math and Dr. modality. She has some decreases there you see on the textbooks. That's what I mentioned as we as we continue our shift from textbooks from one area to another, but she does have the increase reflected on the science side where we see the increases on both supplies and on our textbooks. This is for one-year commitment to a new sixth grade science program to
017see, like I said, how this could look for us in the future. So almost if you will almost quasi pilot for this for the sixth grade students. Uh this would represent in essence uh a total of 16,000 almost $17,000 or an 11% increase between the elementary math and science in totality. Now moving to the secondary math side um Mr. Salado uh we talked about this actually the past few years. He had a plan to replace all the graphing calculators and it was a three-year plan. So now you see the culmination of his efforts. Now we've exhausted that. Last year was the last year that we did this and now he's reflecting a $29,000 decrease on his budget uh because of this. Uh you'll see that uh there really that is the large driver for both
018math and science. Mr. Stella, he's he's what he's removed is we increased that budget several years ago for graphing calculators. Yeah, it went up a few years ago. Yep. And now now he's rem that out. Yeah, it was 84,000. Is that correct? Roughly 20,000 per year for three years. Yeah, but it was almost $90,000 for the three-year plan. Now, moving on to dual language, uh you'll see a $4,000 increase on the contractual line. This is a proposed increase for staff professional development. This is to provide additional sessions for our teachers to assist them. Uh and even with this in there, um Miss Cardanius is showing a $1,000 reduction on the on the DL budget. Uh our second half of our budget is the ENL and bilingual programs and I highlighted the textbooks once again. You
019see the textbooks moving out of this. This is because we fully phased in the completion of the textbooks that we brought in. This is the uh en I l see I can't even say that. She told me I can't say the Spanish version because I don't roll my Rs. Um I I was prepared to say the extra palu no deto. That's what I call it. And the programs that have been fully phased in over the past two years. This represents a nearly $16,000 increase or 38% reduction. Uh now moving on to our secondary for ENL and our uh world languages. Um Ms. Martinez Fentes has removed basically if you look there's a shift there with the textbooks coming out of the foreign language codes and moving into the ENL codes. and and despite this, she's
020still showing uh a decrease overall in totality on the two budget accounts. Yes. >> Well, this reflection of the of the cost is for for the online, but I can let her answer the question. Do she is she here? Yeah. You want So do we have no we do have textbooks but I will let them answer. Could you hear her? She said that's a combination of paper and the online. Yes. Is that for every subject >> right? Other academic areas the same. Any further questions before we move on? Okay. Now, moving into the area of art and music. Uh you'll see here an increase for the art textbooks. And this was um uh the result of a meeting that uh Mr. Frankman, Miss Marone, and I had u with this uh with this contractor who
021has a K to2 art curriculum. This one is fully web- based. Uh it's got lessons aligned uh across all grade levels, but it includes skill-based activities, assessments, and instructional resources, including PD to improve teach practices. That is the um the the driver for the $35,000 increase. It's almost all in the textbook line for art. Uh as we move to music, um you'll see a lot of red here too. Now there see a lot of reductions on our equipment line. So our equipment line is that's our purchases of our instruments. But there's a new um program available through arts and education whereby we can purchase uh these instruments uh at a discount uh through our supplies code. So the money that you see is right now it's just all allocated on the high school line. It
022is not going to the high school. It is for districtwide. But for us for transactional purposes, it's easier to move it out of singular account code into arts and ed as opposed to doing it through 11 different codes. But the the premise is that um it's going to represent a savings for us. Not just this year, but the plan is technically for five years out, we should be seeing these same kind of results as we bolster the number of instruments that we're able to bring in. So we'll be bringing in more instruments uh for the same dollars. And uh so overall, he's looking at just about a $4,000 decrease on the music line. And then on the co-curricular you'll see uh a $7,500 increase on that particular line. That is for our travel and event
023uh fees and that's for the um the bianual uh NAFME uh old Eastern conference and the honor ensembles. Those occur every two years and we want to support our students because that is a significant recognition for them to be able to attend this. This is the the highest performing um musical students in the in the whole Northeast. So, the grand total for art, music, and co-curricular is just over $53,000 or an 8% increase. Now, moving into um the areas under CTE, starting with home and careers, you'll see that we've removed the roughly $3,000 out of there. So, it's a zero budget, but the home and careers is no longer running. We have those monies now reallocated to the fashion design merchandising because that's where they're typically doing these kind this kind of work now that
024we've introduced that program. You'll see that on the next slide. Um which I'll go to right now. So under Oh, I'm sorry. It's not the next slide. It's another one after this. This is technology education. You'll see a $16,000 increase uh on the uh supplies line for the high school. That is a a proposal for uh additional drones to provide more students with hands-on programming and operating. But I do want to just put a little caveat out there. We did learn something recently. Um Miss Simmonella, Mr. Richroth and I going to meet with Miss Bonorsy to go through this because there might be something we may have to readress this in the next budget workshop with some information that we've learned. We may have to either adjust this u up or down depending on what
025we find out about these drones. So, more to come on that, but at this point in time, it is included in this budget for tonight's presentation. Um, and then as we move into the actual career and technical education portion, uh, you'll see a $10,000 increase on our supplies and materials. Uh some of the ones I thought were more notable on the line that that drove this uh this particular increase were uh we need solid state drivers for the computer technology networking uh classes. The we need additional practice hands um in diverse skin tones. So this is for our students in cosmetology that are practicing uh manicures. And then we are looking to purchase uh large-scale mannequins for students in the fashion design and merchandising program. So the grand total for all these areas is uh
026just under $6,000 or about 2 and a half%. Now as we move into guidance uh Mr. Zafendino, this is a you know a story we've been he's been telling the last uh two years for sure, maybe even three. He's been really you know scrutinizing this area. We talk about it each and every year, but he's really looking to red reduce our AP testing line to get this more accurate. We have he's gotten decreases in rates, but really getting a better handle on the number of students that are in this line. So, that's another $10,000 decrease, which you see is the big driver for that $12,000 overall decrease on his budget. Just over uh almost 11% actually there. Well done. on our uh summer school line, you'll see an $8,100 reduction on the nurse line. Uh
027since we're no longer offering summer academy, obviously we don't have the the need to have nurses at those buildings. That's now reflected in this budget. That's why you see the reduction there on that particular line. Overall, we're estimating based on what we think the payroll will be, basically $1,100 increase or 36% Now, as we move through some of these, um, like I said, nominal increases or decreases, really nothing to report on CMC. In fact, it's flat. Um, the district-wide data essentially is flat. It shows a 48% increase, but it's $119 change from last year. Um, and then on our adult ed, the contractual line, we're reflecting a roughly $2,700 increase. That's for the printing costs for the brochure. we only show we cover those those increases on that line and that's small that's only about
0281.3% decrease there so now this is what I mentioned earlier u with the instructional services you'll see at the bottom it's $183,000 to the negative but the big driver on this is the 186 that we pulled out of this from last year now that's been spread across all the different academic uh areas the different departments that I showed you on the previous slides, but it does show nonetheless a 12% decrease on this particular budget area. Moving now to PPS. Um I actually realized uh after we printed this and did this, the line above that should have been highlighted, the $3 million line with a $33 uh,000 increase. There's there's a couple of profit and tech codes, but it really should be the one above that, but nonetheless wanted to show there is um this is
029one we've also talked about in in previous years. Dr. Lucas realizes that, you know, we're seeing more and more students that require psychiatric evaluations. One of the things that she's looking to do is not just meet their behavioral and their mental health needs, but also to partner with a doctor who can conduct in district meetings to facilitate that improve access for our parents and our students. Uh this code also supports onetoone nursing services for our medically fragile students both in district and in our out of district placements. But then as you as you read below, you'll see a almost $155,000 decrease on the tuition line for education. And that's um uh another savings that's attributed to the decline in number of students in private placements by bringing more students back, keeping them within the district.
030So Dr. Lucas, well done. Um there's no um notable change on the psych services line and in the attendance area it's a small decrease of $5. And I'm wrapping up is with Bosey's um couple of slides here on Boseies. So, I want you to call your attention just to some of the more prominent codes, but on the telephone service, we're looking at a maybe $20,000 decrease because we've switched all most of our telephone lines over to light path. We have now few POTS lines in the buildings on our data processing uh line. We do have an increase there of $42,000. That's uh primarily due to our new copy release and then our projections of the number of color prints that we think will be needed and Miss Simol looks at the data over the last
031few years in order to make uh that determination. That's why you see that increase there of the 24%. Uh moving now to ROC, we have like a nearly $54,000 increase there. You know, now we're seeing uh this program gaining traction and increasing popularity. So, we're going to re see an increase in our costs on that line. Um, we all remember where that was not even just, you know, five, six, seven years ago. So, this is a welcome addition. I I believe uh on our special ed tuition line. Again, uh Dr. Lucas, this is another decrease that she's forecasting that's attributed to the reduction number of students attending outside programs. So, you know, programs that we have in-house like our ease program, they've been very successful. Keep our students inhouse. or we can service them inhouse,
032whether they be on our special education side, CTE side, whatever we can do to to educate them here, we're certainly going to enjoy those kinds of savings. So, we're looking at potentially a $200,000 savings on that line. >> Frank, >> yes. >> What are our um numbers like this year for outplacement CTE? And where are we in that rolling percentage of >> for CTE? Yeah. >> Okay. That's on the next slide, I believe. That's Yes, that's this one on the occupational education slide. >> Is that what you're referring to? Not specialized. You're referring to OEED with regard to CT. Is that what you said? >> Yeah. Like what is it per per pupil this year? Like it was 147 then it was 152. >> Oh, I don't know the number of that, but I do
033know I I we have that data. I can get that to you. >> And where are that? Are we paying for your students that we're sending? >> Yeah. Right. So, we're benefiting now. That's a great question. So, we're seeing a reduction because now we're taking advantage of that rolling three-year average. So, now we're down to 51, I believe. >> Does that sound 51 or 55? But we were upwards of almost 80, I think, three years ago. And, you know, Miss Kennedy and I were fighting with them because we didn't have that many seats in the program. I think we had maybe 50 seats in the program yet. We were paying for that because of that rolling average. Now, we're benefiting from that. We'll get you the other numbers on the on the rates for sure.
034>> Yes, we talked about this. We saw this coming down the pike and we knew we had to wait our turn, but now we're benefiting from those lower numbers. Mhm. two or 3%. >> Yeah, we have I think overall there weren't there wasn't there increase overall 2.38 if I'm not mistaken. It's it's in a range. >> Yeah, me too. >> I don't know. I have 12 of them in my class this year as opposed to five. So, they're all coming to my class. >> Uh, then moving down to the bottom of the page, uh, you'll see an increase there on our handicap transportation, uh, similar to what we've seen in previous years. We're watching this, but this is attributable to more students requiring specialized transportation that we need. And so, we need to certainly reflect
035that in the budget. But the grand total for all areas right as of right now what we're looking at for Boseies is just about $58,000 or 0.35% for an increase. So here's the the proposed budget information for all the areas that we covered this evening. I know it's a lot of data, a lot of numbers. As a reminder, this will be on the website starting tomorrow for you, but it's very impressive when you look at this. We're looking at basically just over $29 million for all of these areas. And collectively, we're looking at a 1.44% increase. Again, tribute to these people here and the work that they've done. They really deserve a a loud round of applause for their their efforts. I I'd say louder, but yeah, that's just me. And um the next budget
036presentation, as I mentioned, is March 30th. It is here in the auditorium at 8:30. and we're going to go through, like I said, staffing, fund balance analysis, grants, financial plan for pro projections. Um, and then we'll look to move to adopt later that evening board meeting. Finally, any other questions at all? And I can go to any slide if you'd like. >> All right. So, question. How many treadmills are we getting? So, you said new treadmills at four buildings. So, what four buildings and how many are we getting? >> Believe it was I thought I said it was one for each secondary building. Is that Mr. Crackco? Correct. One at each. We have three almost four treadmills that don't work at the high school. >> Well, these are new. We >> No, I know these
037are new, but I'm just saying you already have four now, right? So, if you have 30 kids on our track team and they can't run right now and you only have three plus an assault, I'm saying that's not really replacing all the treadmills that are broken. So, we're only replacing one at four buildings, even though we have at least two or three that are not working. >> So, what I can tell you is this. I mean certainly we're going to look to repair the ones that we have but as you know the budget will not not be able to withstand the kinds of numbers that you're talking about. So anything that we do here each year is to look to bolster different departments as as much as we can. You know it's a give and
038take across across all budget areas. Um, your point's not not lost to me because um, whenever I talk to people about this district, and I mean now globally, as how we can do things, we're always looking to do more with less because we've had to. Um, and I mean that with all sincerity, because we are not going to be able to keep up with the Joneses as we see in other districts. So, we're not a district that, for instance, goes out to bond uh, every other year. That's just that's not us. So, we've got to be very intelligent with how we spend our monies. um and address the different needs whether they be instructional in terms of uh curriculum based in terms of equipment based as you're mentioning that could be treadmills that could be
039instruments that could be uh copiers or whether that be for instance the monies that we're pouring into our our facilities I think you raise an excellent point in in general because we do need more money we do need to up this we've been forced to play this hand for a good number of years now. Um, I really do commend the community for coming out and really supporting that bond because it's enabled us to do something that we haven't done here in a long time. But if I'm being perfectly transparent, it was probably like a small drop in the bucket. It's what we need to do because I think I hear what you're saying. Our students deserve better. We deserve better and certainly something that we're striving for. So when I, you know, when I talk
040about, you know, uh, increases or decreases and when I talk to my colleagues about this, I want them to find ways to do the same or more with the funds that they're given because if the right approach is taken, it can be done. And to their credit, they're meeting me exactly where what I asked them to be. Um, and I like I said, I've really got to tip my hat to them there. Then it goes to us. We've got to figure out how to do the rest. Um, I would love to say we would do more, but I'm just being I'm just being as honest as I can with you. >> And then the second thing is, are we go when are we going out for the RFP or do we already go out for
041the RFP for the middle school trainer? That's not the same as the high school. >> Yeah. Yep. Different. >> Yep. And we're >> Oh, okay. >> And but we have the option to uh reissue again if we'd like. And we're looking at what we think the projections are going to be for that. >> So is it going to be like the same room that we used for school? >> We had um >> Oh, so two different high school and different one for the middle school. >> Yes. >> Oh, okay. >> Okay. >> And it'll be the same thing where they go to like all the games and stuff or >> Well, with middle school now, you've got, you know, three buildings so they're have to travel. >> It's one of the communities >> because they
042could be events taking place at two different buildings. Any other questions? No. >> Thank you. I I just had a question. um about the sixth grade science program. Did you say we're going to pilot it or it was piloted or what? >> Quasi pilot. >> Okay. What is >> what does that look like? >> I can you want to speak? >> Sure. Sure. Yeah. So, um and Dr. Deli's here, but we um piloted this program this year. It's Sav Experience Science. um the teachers need a little more time to see if this is truly what they want to go forward with. So Dr. Deli was able to work with SAVIS and get a oneyear >> Y and then if it's a program we decide to move forward with will present to the board um for
043adoption. >> Okay. >> Thank you. >> You're welcome. >> Are AP texts covered in the textbooks or are they like separate with the AP? Like I just see three AP textbooks for one of my kids all over the house all the time. So she does have three texts for social studies, but are those covered in AP fees or is that >> not the AP testing fees? >> No, the textbook three separate textbooks that she uses for one class. Does that come out of the budgetary like the book budget or >> Yeah. text out of textbooks for those with those particular areas for those. >> I'd like to thank you all for being so very very very careful with your budgets.
