001[Music] my father's left me six survived and seven others in here presentation of mission budgets the word education is pleased to present its 2018-19 budget proposal respectfully all questions wait until the end of the presentation at which time we'll be happy to answer everyone school districts mission is to expire we go nice the field school districts initiative is to inspire challenge and prepare all students we do this by empowering our students to become critical thinkers problem solvers in fact mobile citizens lifelong learners the rigorous relevant and comprehensive education experiences spencer to student opportunities and active community involvement for our budget proposal basis for anything you do I'd like to spend a moment to touch on our 2017-18 key achievements who high school now has a standard er language lab not only is this used to
002enhance and improve instruction in our world language classes but also in our age at which learner classes we you're scheduled to better East transition of our fifth graders into the middle school increase our social studies instruction time and increase unified arts we did this with the addition of one teacher twisting here with the addition of two reading instruction teachers we have increased reading instruction and support at both whiskey near and a high school we've increased Kuna dart instruction time by sixty six hours so they now have the same schedule as our first graders we've initiated the Yale social-emotional program this is a program that's climate of spring encouraging and empowering our students we convert converted to the newest accounting and operational system so now we are the same financial platform as the top this will
003provide based efficiency and accountability throughout the entire district and we have progression the bastard for all schools we have the strategic facilities committee in the tech time our attention please to expediently moving this project forward she will either a new monetary we have many budget drivers in the formation of this proposal most notably increased demands and instructional needs on our district reasons inflationary reasons which are our contractual collective-bargaining increases employee health insurance and transportation fuel and electricity and we did have a market and we expected increase in our special education costs this year that was through tuition transportation and special services we will touch on this more in just a minute an increase in our English language learner population English language learners or those who speak something other than English as their primary language and
004we do have new and AIDS and the associated costs to comply with us first and foremost though our primary budget driver is course with our district strategic roadmap and promote our schools to excellence as I mentioned we do have an unexpected and sharp increase and our special education costs this year this was driven largely by our ugly students and this does include students moved to the district who came with it our placement furthermore dictates that we must honor our ups of all students new to the district we were able to absorb some of these costs within the existing school budgets yes require assistance from the town and we are very grateful to the word slacker finance and the collaborative effort in approving our special appropriations in moving in to Italian which will be held on
005February 13th or approval again our challenge was the 1 million $65,000 in increased costs this was through up raised tuition transportation and the associated in-district services we met this with the one-time funding anticipated of four hundred seventy thousand five hundred a hard spending freeze of $160,000 this is through books supplies technology furniture replacement teacher conferences we memorized staffing savings of 247,000 $683 largely through teacher retirements and staff retirements $105,000 was through insurance management this was the initiation of our Medicaid reimbursement and savings made our health plan and we had vacancies that we temporarily left on films this year allowing eighty one thousand eight hundred and seventeen dollars in savings so we were in need the cost this year but this cost implications in our budget for next year as well some of the savings will
006feel a little about all of them will in addition to the 1 million sixty-five thousand dollars that we have this year we do anticipate a small increase next year of a hundred and five thousand one hundred and seventy two dollars this is essentially because the costs kind of occurred over this year whereas next year we will have those costs out of the entire year so that is where we get the increase there the one-time time grande does not appear to be for next year in addition to that our spending freezes will go back to normal with the exception of $15,000 and our monitors budget in they can seize that we left unfilled this year we must feel for next year if we add this up we get a net special education increase that will flow
007to next year of eight hundred and two thousand four hundred and eighty nine dollars this represents a two percent increase in our operating budget of this year so we take our current budget and a two percent increase of special education and our 3.2 percent increase which I will speak to in a moment we get a sum total increase with our status quo of 5.2 percent for two million one hundred four thousand five hundred and seventy six if we add tunas on meds investments of ninety-three thousand seven hundred and seventy five dollars or point two percent of every budget we get our 2018-19 proposed budget of forty three million two hundred three thousand one hundred dollars this represents a five point four percent increase but I would like to take that increase another and speak to
008it for a minute and give you a different perspective as I mentioned we're very grateful for the assistance for the town of four hundred and seventy thousand five hundred this will be considered as an unbudgeted revenue source so if we add this to our current operating budget of 41 million at 4,800 we get our actual operational budget of 41 million four hundred seventy five thousand three hundred so therefore if we compare our proposed budget to what it actually cost to educate our students this year instead of the five point four percent increase we're really looking at an actual four point two percent increase as I had spoken before to the status quo increases in a variety of ways um most notably salary increases these were the contractual increases that we that we had the average
0092.6 percent this goes from the teachers increase of 2.8 percent to the others which are largely 2.2 percent with the rest of our funding units we did have an 8 percent increase in health benefits although this was offset by some savings with our health plan $55,000 is for increase in substitutes this is driven largely by an increase in long term leaves and our long term substitutes are reimbursed at a higher rate than our regular substitutes we have a 3.9 percent increase in transportation associated increase in oil fuel and utilities and we project a have a large amount of students attending the Botox world and so we will have an increase in tuition there the tectum study is an offset in our status close that will not repeat into next year and then we have a
010net change to revenues this is the loss of a one-time revenues offset by our increased revenues of Nike Reclamation Selenia silence we do end up with our 1 million three hundred two thousand eighty seven dollars which is the three point two percent status will increase I spoke up after speaking of his special education process status quo I would like to spend some time reviewing the investments and these investments were based on several key budget goals those being to provide the necessary resources to meet the needs of all our students and not just meet the needs of our students but empower them to achieve as well maintain class size within guidelines while adjusting staffing patterns to reflect enrollment changes and achieve efficiencies this board is committed to keeping class sizes within guidelines as we're very aware
011that smaller class sizes has a direct correlation on increased student achievement provide for rigorous relevant curriculum using best practices and instruction assessment and learning curriculum provides the structure for quality learning it's truly at the core of everything we do provide the technology infrastructure that effectively supports student success in a digital learning environment we must empower our students to be able to succeed in a digital age and to maintain and continue to enhance establish holder their provements while remaining responsive to changing needs so if we take these goals we can tweeze out our investments addressing the goal of providing the necessary resources to meet the needs of all of our students $15,000 we'll go to explore the Renzulli school right and Richard Burgi we must address and develop the strengths and talents of all of our
012students and one of the best ways to do that is through a school-wide enrichment model this money will provide the consultant to ensure that we are most efficiently and effectively pursuing that goal thirty thousand dollars this way the addition of a part-time certified occupational therapist assistant currently our occupational therapists have very large caseload of students and so this part-time assistant will help address that goal eighty-thousand is for one english language learner position we have 97 AOL students now and one else instructor in addition to our world language email Department share we must have another instructor and believe in doing so we will more effectively and expediently integrate these students into our district addressing the goal of maintaining class sizes within guidelines $80,000 will go for the addition of one science teacher every field high school
013and there's really a two-fold reason for this we do have one of our bubble classes in eighth grade now that will be moving to ninth grade one of the classes that we must maintain small class sizes regulation wise and safety wise are our science labs in addition to that while we tease them to be very rich in offerings with our biology and life science for offerings we don't have quite the variation with our physical sciences so this science teacher would address both of those issues this will be offset with a reduction of one first-grade teacher as we project to have lower enrollment next gen first-grade as we have this year and with the reallocation staffing across a judgement we will be reducing one custodial position addressing the goal of providing for a witless relevant curriculum
014seventy 4920 will go to continue the right of work of curriculum development quality learning is driven by quality instruction which is driven by quality curriculum it's imperative that we have a relevant aligned curriculum may be done rewriting curriculum throughout the entire district and so these funds will go to continue that effort fifty nine thousand dollars goes through our K through 8 science program and support of the next generation science standards we are piloting a program right now that we believe will work very well for our district so these funds will go next year to initiate the rollout of instructional supplies in that a twenty five thousand five hundred ninety dollars will go to provide other instructional supplies throughout all of our schools and 36 thousand six hundred and twenty one dollars goes to provide intentional
015and aligned professional development opportunities the data is out there that focused effective professional development helps promote student achievement so we must offer and continue to offer these opportunities to our teachers and staff to place the goal of providing technology infrastructure $31,000 will go for technology upgrades throughout the district these include updating both computer labs confusing asian stations at the high school in Liscombe ear improving the district fiber wall and bandwidth services and modernizing switches at whiskey near $27,000 will additionally go for a data line which will increase network capacity these investments will be offset as we have a copy released ending so we will be able to reduce and reallocate our districts printers and copiers addressing the goal of maintaining and continuing to enhance established program improvements 13,000 $279 will go for co-curricular coaches at
016risk in air we currently have the award-winning Unified sports program at high school and we've begun to initiate one at the middle school as well these funds will help expand that program in addition to adding an art club and allies of diversity Club sixteen thousand dollars will go to find a state-mandated team educator mentor program this is a program which pairs experienced teachers with new teachers in a mentor-mentee relationship up to an including this year it was funded by the state next year no longer will be funded so we must shoulder that cost and twelve thousand dollars will go for a gasps accreditation every ten years our high school undergoes accreditation by the New England Association of schools and colleges this is an intensive and exhaustive three-tier process actually from kickoff to wrap-up well the
017actual accreditation happens this December the $12,000 goes for the me asked accreditation fee in addition to providing room board and travel for the routines we're going ensuring that all of these investments which we do consider crucial are propelled forward into a realization in our 2018-19 operational budget the board did make some adjustments to the original superintendent's proposal this is where the reduction of three part-time clerk positions at whiskey near huckleberries Center school the reduction of the monitor greeter position in the high school and a reduction of one administrator position these decisions were made with after determining that services could be provided either with existing staff or with a strategic reallocation of resources in addition we will be deferring the school start times consultant and and yet we are where the data is out there that
018mayor start times at high school does have a correlation with increased in achievement in order to be good stewards however the taxpayers money we decided to wait on this to ensure into a poll actually to ensure that we have community and parents or it will change staff times in addition to that we really have or never Rosa going to a school of school start times workshop next week we will also be deferring a whisk in her mobile world language lab with the intention of pursuing this in our 2019-20 budget looking at budget in four minute we pay careful attention to both current enrollment and projected enrollment you can see from this graph the yellow being current and green being projected enrollment we're looking at fairly level enrollments in center school and huckleberry from this year
019to next year as a matter of fact our projected income in kindergarten class will be exactly the same as our kindergarten enrollment this year we do have a loss of students at risk in earnest we have one of our bubble classes moving to the high school and is the corresponding increase in high school students from there we anticipate our outplay students to main level giving us a projected enrollment district-wide next year of 2500 three students this is 50 students less than we have this year interestingly enough it's 50 more students than the Malone McBroom demographic study projected us to be so we really do need to keep a careful eye on both projected enrollments and economy trends we have 356 students with special needs this year there is a 14 percent identification with exactly what
020the state average is and we have as I mentioned before 297 ALL students we do project that to be about the same as next year interestingly with our 97 EML students we have 23 separate languages spoken as a as a primary language [Music] so far these enrollment projections you take care of the look at our class sizes as you mentioned the board is committed to keeping classes and grades within our guidelines with this table the red squares mark those grades which are over the abort event guidelines and we are trending to the point that we always have all of our grades K through 8 we than guidelines next year we only anticipate 7th grade to be above this is another one of our bubble classes now we will all of the others be within our
021range all the two will be a poor below target just wanted to take a moment to put our operational budget and spending for people into perspective with some comparison every single district in Connecticut is categorized with what we call district reference groups horderves as we call them this is based on a variety of factors most notably socioeconomics donor graphics and enrollment all of the district will the dirts go from dirt a down to dirt i and work field is in derby as you can see from the spending per pupil on derby this is 2016-17 that was just released last month from the Connecticut State Department of Education and these are normalized figures but as you can see Brookfield spends the least out of all of the districts in Derby spending $1,000 less than the second-to-the-last
022district and $2,000 less than the state average that part of our operating budget but also per part of our proposal is our capital projects list we have relatively few this year that they are against very very urgent needs within our district first and foremost are the two projects on here which comprise the high school generator our generator right now is moving four years old and quite frankly is inadequate for the high school is unable to empower the entire high school there are two instances this year where you see our team we had a loss of power either late evening or early morning and had powering up and restored and time for school to start we would have had to have canceled classes for that day in addition the high school is designated as an emergency
023shelter so we must have a generator that can power the high school next is $15,000 for Cora risers that are used district-wide our risers are in state of disrepair and are nearing becoming a safety issue and they must be replaced before they actually do become a safety issue $60,000 is for an automated time and attendance system I pay my records are currently submitted on paper timesheets not only is this burdensome that is also very prone to error an only two time attendance system in addition to merging beautifully with the newest conversion will help increase the control and efficiency of our system in addition it was a strong recommendation in the blue Shapiro report in 2016 $50,000 goes for high school boys locker room design our boys locker room is in state of deep deep disrepair
024at the high school to the point that we are anticipating a probable citation on our knee asks accreditation the $50,000 will start the design to help bring it up to standards $300,000 goes for design work for the huckleberry renovation or new school as I said this board is very committed to as expediently as possible moving this project forward we anticipate by the end of this year to homing in what we consider the best option for either a renovation or a new school but we need $1,000 will help us seamlessly move into the design phase without losing either momentum order precious time and $100,000 goes for the construction supporting a high school outdoor restroom storage and concession area currently are our Edwards facilities at the high school are supported by Porter PI's and the storage and
025concession is inadequate for the area as a matter of fact we store many things in our boys locker room so the $100,000 will initiate the construction that we need to upgrade these facilities much thought and care leading to formation of this budget proposal more involved are hearing aware of the need to balance the budgetary challenges with our primary responsibilities of moving this district forward towards excellence so we believe that pose 2018-19 budget of 43 million two hundred and three thousand one hundred fifty one dollars is necessary to move us in that direction thank you very much and we can open this for any questions that anyone may have I'm asking you a favor with the partnership who was adopted by a trans man and he was insignificant there but I don't see reflected in winter
026action standing there was the yellow 55,000 if you if you had mentioned that 105,000 there we addressed the issue or the increase in costs this year 50,000 was for Medicaid reimbursement and 55,000 was worthy the savings in our stressful spending I have a net increase in revenues of increased at school of 50,000 that was the $55,000 partnership plan Annette - v1 times revenues was this year's budget show a drop this year's budget shall we drop in your actual spending and see that by the definitely working [Music] so so see are 55,000 reduction stage [Music] there's absolutely no come up in the sequence of your presentation their copier leases they can often be a big expense for saving money their command yourself right are you doing are you we buy the mount for cheaper how are
027we saving 50 grand on pieces of paper we actually have more than one lease going out one of which is going to expire next year and we've talked to allow our current copier company had a couple of other folks in the field we'll look our deployment of our machines between the before the combination of buying out the remaining lease and redeploying and decreasing the number of machines we had in district they all assures that we could achieve things just fifty thousand dollars over what we're paying here how those new contracts that have been signed no no we're not nothing they contracted things to get the savings versus their assurances but hoping that we would have something that would lock us into if you got a blouson we don't have anything yet the we would have
028to do an RFA yet to get the proposals from the vendors and we're waiting just so you get this budget review that [Music] no house before we get the line in our lineup I was just hoping for a definitional clarification for my purposes and the definition of status school budget is that purely keeping the same people in the same position what goes into defining something is status quo stats will we be keeping everything as is without changing services at all which is why we didn't well we tweeze the special education separate because we did have the increase in the special education there but that is maintain services just as there are those same people in same position contractual exactly which is why after we talked about this houseful that's when we went into the investments
029and adjustments we made to the original super cannibalism that's outside that's not so again another high-level question is is that the best way to identify how to deliver the same services just assuming that the status quo policeman of the same assets is the way the best way to deliver those same services are the best assumption going into the budget making process or is there a way to identify efficiencies to deliver those same services copies well I need that's what we did and that's why it is in our investments really that status quo is just a comparison it's comparisons about really going from there what what does that monitor Rio do at the high school is that someone eliminating that position means that there's not another body there - maybe defuse something from happening just by
030being there politically so that position actually is is the monitor greater they're they're taking Aggies for the majority of the day and they also help with lunch duty so someone else mister Lana would redeploy resources of his clerical team for that particular function edit even deal entered the building and then we're working on replaying monitors who are not in full-time positions to help with lunch like similar to what we do at the lunch monitoring let me do with elementary another soil so for 47,000 compromising integrity of whatever security they're not security guards they have people and often when you see the person at all if you will that will stop you from doing something right I just want to make sure this 27000 isn't something where we're taking someone out of a position where they're
031just they're there a body there because they're their last is happening they're behind a glass doing licenses and signing that kind of thing for the majority of the day and then the world that that full-time employee as part of their day spends in the lunch room that lunch women part whether you're talking about an extra body that will be taken care of through the like part-time monitors if you think about some long Shaun's you may have seen in terms of things in more of a capacity like that which is a much more positive active effective way of going about schools are times you mention that Rosa will be attending a session on that is there nothing that we can learn and he takeaways from what's already been published on that and apply it to our
032situation I think it's been in the newspaper not too long ago neighboring community is there any takeaway them you can do and say it is and I won't escape this because I was initially the champion of this project this will start times and I did much research on all of these around the districts and what we have found is that the districts that have successfully implemented this have used a consultant because there are so many different factors as far as transfer to increase transportation costs and adjusting it and seamlessly and do you trade off ties between schools there's a variety of factors the one district in the area that did not use a consultant and just kind of jumped in and made a change now wishes they did we'll be hiring one next year to
033kind of tweak the system so we do believe that that is necessary in order to effectively change times so to solve you need for implementation as opposed to whether or not it's a good idea absolutely gotcha that makes it so then how do you know when it's a good idea or when it's not a good idea is that part of roses attendance at those seminars we intend to pull the parents and the community to ensure that we have a support behind them reservoir the workshop the consultants will oh you know help us decide how in there he did to matter whether he became the hunted let's it changes the dynamics a lot of dates from schools four times to switching perhaps having the elementary schools startled earlier it's not just using the times upon school
034I has a removable strap and I have just [Music] we'll do an easy one first why do we need a design consultant for a locker room and that I will put I think an anthem [Music] yeah we came to do the project renovation project of that size we really need somebody to get in there and be able to spec out everything if and where the biggest purposes would be to determine a real solid cost estimate for what the project would be so that we can come back in the future with it with a specific design and ask the the for defiance and the townspeople to fund a specific project for a specific color remember these sorts of things and all the rules and regulations that we have we did it with the police station we
035don't have the skills in-house to be able to do this kind of design work so you have to hire somebody is an absolute expert up in a date with regulations to do these kinds of designs you just acted just spinning your wheels the word designer is a bit misleading because if this is really correct me if I'm wrong this is really a reconstruction of the boys locker room which will also make it much more efficient and also help us in other areas of need we'd like the weight room and things like that so this isn't going in and picking out colors may be changing communism' construction which is mechanicals is wrong and mechanicals I mean this is our voice block or my son played here 12 years ago it was a disaster that I mean
036this is this is something that really has been kicked down the road but this is more than just redesigning this is a restructuring I have a son who's an active user of the boys locker room and he picked the binder off my desk and went through stuff it pinpointed that thing and Yvette that's exciting what about the ladies locker room but not it's all been raised every time Latino school construction ten years ago and the last one on my list for right now esteem enrollment what did we see with Laurel Hill and then for Steve what's the timing on Brookfield Village coming on board and with the two developments be apples to apples apples to oranges we'll need to make outsider so we need apples to apples it's it's a little hard to say reusable
037well doesn't 100% affordable no different village when you're finished is New Canaan he represent important the village is rooted right there my guess would be wrong he'll brought about twenty four students into our system fitful village will bring I think a lesson because it's mixed market and we think that some seniors will be moving in there it's closer to the actual downtown Main Street so I think they're going to get some students here but there won't right now so then they expect that men getting pretty good response we expect to be I think the lamented by June to that point shot it was rather frustrating for us because we had the demographic study done and then we asked for an update once we started getting more developments happening and both times they came in and
038tweaked the enrollment rejections just a little bit but and here you remember this we really kind of went at them saying shouldn't we be seeing more of a change here and they didn't give it that and what we're seeing differences from their projections from the start has that been accounted for in their enrollment projections anything to do with the new specifically development well not specifically the new development but specifically what we're seeing for our kindergarten enrollment we had dr. Salem literally calling all of the preschool places to ask how many Brookfield residents they had attending priest holder so we could get a fair assessment of what our incoming kindergarten class would look like and that's in these numbers that isn't as mutters what about changes with st. Joseph's no consider another playing on consolidating grades
039in the future I feel like there's a possibility a lot of parents have an issue at hand and switch their children over to the public school system there is a possibility we don't I mean it's so up in the air and speculative at this moment because st. Joe's as it right now you know is continuing with the new model not all of the st. Joe's students are Brookfield residents and not all Berfield residents might go to public schools so may go to other parochial schools so it's really hard for us to see right now but we will continue to remain up top of it and abreast of any changes they have it's it's hard to have a crystal ball on that one information talked to sometimes makers over there talk to some of the teachers
040over there and are in a way the bulk of the students in San Jose today offer just another piece for that week we do have the enrollment numbers by grade and we're in touch with father chip atmosphere we've had those numbers since early fall so we've been watching this and paying attention to the Pope I made a question well there's this probability a straight bubble fastest moving up the device and there's about a 50 student drop it Miska knee or not actually moving up if the teeth are so is there staffing that might be moving from the skin here up to the high school event we have 50 students less may know that you're more subject oriented concern the riddles but I didn't know if that would affect the teaching positions or where the teachers
041are located we're not adjusting teacher positions right now because quite frankly with the bubble clacks last year we have witnessed excess was above guidelines so actually keeping earned our teachers at was in theirs and allow us to in the second question I had was probably one prefer Christine we have the 30 L place students on this past year and expecting another 30 listing in the following year do we are these the same students are different some of their services in-house to be think that we'll be able to take their need support starting to your fresh versus coming up there is a department here so that's our estimate this is a you know individual student needs and who these thirty students actually are can change and rather rapidly that's why we had sort of a dramatic
042need for funds in the fall because there was such a rapid change so our projection is based on our students who are currently out placed of course we are always looking at student needs and when students are ready to return to district growth where we're coming them back to district and then sometimes those students you need to be out of place at the same time for our place my parents by outside agencies or some other factor or they move in so this is our best you know guess in projection although this number is really hard to ask to me we certainly are taking a look at costs and thinking about how we can provide the excellent services in district that's something that work we're doing sort of that cost analysis to make sure that we
043can meet needs but that is our best projection [Music] the enrichment project it's a very small dollar amount obviously what is what's the current is there a current enrichment budget and what's the goal of the consultant to come in and do further enrichment we actually had an initiation of the consultants of time actually consulted through that just kind of a intro would you say and dr. Brooke can speak to that because it just happened today yeah so there's a lot going on in the world of enrichment in terms of how we identify talented and gifted students how we provide services to those students which we don't currently provide how we set up a school-wide enrichment model that could eventually be k12 for all of our students that we because is not currently in existence here
044in the district and also there's something called either academic or enrichment clusters as you know they're very interesting and enjoyable concept of the students very engaging so thinking of that holistically we actually brought in Joe Renzulli from the Yukon talented and gifted Center today he was with us and he spent two hours with us along with Nicola Kunis who also would probably be the consultant that we work with if you know the budget goes forward as planned and we're worried we don't have any formal services for our students in that area so we want to make sure that we're taking the curriculum work that we're doing in the integrate enrichment opportunities and activities along the way it's called a teacher map that would go through and the structure of the curriculum they have to the
045Bowens if you will and the teachers can exercise their creativity based on their student needs and work that through the curriculums that's one aspect of it there's also bringing different kinds of programming and professional development and like I said there's no legislation on how to identify talented and gifted students as well so we're really looking at this holistically that consult and specifically the answer your question would really help us not only with planning envisioning for what we need to do in working you know helping work with the community and with our teaching staff not only leadership but our teaching staff but also then implementation and the $15,000 is a year one kind of consulting fee there probably be another $15,000 in 1920 in your two that continue helping with that implementation this is probably a
046three or four year process to get it ultimately where we want but to be very candid the full million of the program or what we want to do is not articulate it yet we're just in the initial phases of working on it so it would be fair so you said there there's no real enrichment going on right now which I know is it varies by you're my teacher exactly and I know that's been a personal as well as community was a humanities program here I go so it would be fair to say that by initiating this process you can expect to see allocation of resources in that direction in the coming years which is something that I would absolutely encourage and absolutely we're gonna get one implementation for 1920 that would be the plan and
047we haven't defined what that would look like yet in a year one implementation in 1920 but that would be the plan yep fair to say I really used to have a talented and gifted program and I think a lot of people like that it worked really well it was a great resource work is are we underserved this group of children by not having or we're kind of looking to get fit program yes to help you take advantage of their yes skills yes that's what I think took to where you're serving all of our kids by not having a school-wide enrichment program at each of the schools as well as for specific populations I agree it's a big the service there's it would take a lot and and I really don't want to commit to anything
048at this point there's going to be a lot of high-level visioning of what we need to do with the program I mentioned some of those things at the outset of my comments so a lot of planning that has to go in a lot of training and also resources that would have to be purchased so it all depends on the direction we ultimately want to go and then we build a plan you know we built the implementation plan there I don't know about anybody else but I support that 100% my push thank you Lord we appreciated absolutely yes thank you for the support unanimous on the theory you can go we have to have to get both white people in that's what the previous model was I mean we're getting beyond budget but the previous enrichment
049model from 5-10 years ago is not it needs to be resetting I know you had a pull-out program in certain areas of humanities in other areas that's not you know just going back to what was previously done is not the consideration you want to study before you collect I think we need to study everything fully carefully I disagree it's more of an informational question one of the biggest drivers if not the biggest is our special education and you started to touch on it Christine but you know we've appropriated monies to get through this year we know that it's going to be more this year and this is going to be an ongoing situation what can you give a little more detail as to how we can start to offset this he's kind of touched on
050a little bit even a little more detail so that people understand that we are going to try to be able to bring as many students back in and and cut this cost so that we don't have to continually be adding a hundred thousand million dollars everybody so importantly we don't expect the special education costs to go up next year we expect them to be to maintain with what we're actually spending this year so that's really important our tuition and now placements it's not more students that we expect to go out we expect it to maintain that same number and the other thing is that the proportion of our overall budget that we spend for special education is really right in line with the middle of our jerk Derby which is we looked at the per
051pupil so the proportion that we're spending is in line I just wanted to say that at the outset well what we're looking at is analyzing the students who are currently served in at a district placements and what their needs are the trend that really comes out is that it's social emotional needs and functioning so I think about 10 years back there were a lot of students who are out placed with autism the district developed in-house programs for autism and a lot of those students are served in each of our buildings and our exceptional learning centers this is really a different population so the trend is really social emotional needs what we're doing and started what we started doing is analyzing that and then we're going to be looking at building those types of programs within
052our buildings so that we are able to meet student needs here and not needing to go out for therapeutic placements the reason why just for the people is the reason why this heaven having these twelve students we didn't recognize it this is a cost that we just has just been put on our shoulders and so it's it's not like it's through neglect it's just this is an initial cost that we really don't have control over but we're gonna start to take snaps to be able to yeah so we've been told that as a student moves into the town we have to follow the same program that they've been on is that to the end of the year can we create a new program from that was December what they're you know projecting for years or
053we're all students it's individualized programming that can change as needs change so if a student moves in we can't we have to honor what that IEP hardly says we are always assessing for those students who are then and for the students that have been here from field for a long time what their current needs are what the least restrictive environment is what services do they need so we're here it really depends of us yeah it really depends on the student would be really evaluating them as they move into our County opening event or town over 12 sports for all students were evaluating them at all times and anything something is very important that's actually very nice to the situation we're in this year and we have to actually thank Christine for this is that it's
054unusual for a special education director to take on case management Christine's actually taking on case management management of many of the students who are out placed so she could specifically herself go to these schools and see exactly what the programs are that the children are receiving and how it's meeting their needs and really start to determine what can we do back here in district so it's very suit to your to your question we're active in actively looking if we can meet the needs of the children in district we will really want to work with the families to try to get the kids back here literally it doesn't happen we don't have to wait till the end of the year now that may be the best-case scenario for the child but if it's not and we
055can do things here we'd love to bring them back into their neighborhood schools [Music] education costs and look at the [Music] we came for a special education access cloth and I noticed you kind of put in what this year's amount accepted to be received is should we should we expect anything from mistakes even kind of the situation never end it should be really account for the fire and you look historically I mean it doesn't he ever came close to that was soon so wouldn't just be safe for two you're speaking to the excess cost current know these but yes the special education access hospital the only time that we actually had question about the excess to cost craft this last year when the budget proposal propose doing away with the excess cost instead doing a
056flat Special Education grant they've reinitiated the excess cost grant for this year and it's historically had about a seventy percent to reimburse the rate I think it might have even inched up a little bit this year which is why we're getting more anticipated costs than we thought but you don't expect that for next year good easy access cost grant actually is one of the grants that the state has been remotest consistent in funding from year to year okay so I'm comfortable with that number CCS written on the other side I'm a sorry sight that we have to worry about we got a little nervous today they'll probably change again well updated as we go along I still like to really I think you're gonna need to take a haircut on it because we don't know
057where the budget is going on the state side Steve I took a look at that thing that was floated around today they didn't actually change the the excess cost for the special ink ran very much it was all taken out of the ECS yep well that's where they made the adjustments [Music] the total over some room four hundred thousand from the high last year on your other profession just as when I see things to say other and it's a why don't we [Music] as a break [Music] they say it's excellent section four section three at 6:00 [Music] yes well they probably surprised so I can speak to not all of this but a lot of this a special education costs and these are mandated services that are on students educational plans they're for mostly for
058contracted services that we cannot provide in district that we need to bring in from out of district for students who are educated here in our school buildings [Music] we have game officials under here under special edition budget yes now that our professional services yes if you I think I'm just apologist speaking to the life skills [Music] actually not all of these are special education there's just a couple so I wanted to clarify what those are anymore yes yes so we talk about the curriculum specialist role and that issue I was going to the line items and might have one 12 pitch great I guess last year there was a freaking professionals that was eliminated and is replaced with a $15,000 director of instructions instead and now you're proposing putting the new curriculum specialist back in
059so is that is that that sounds so can you explain that ba ba ba shaking hands up we're not proposing adding a curriculum specialist at all we did change up under the model of how we deliberate and that was with the addition [Music] so one [Music] whatever you're talking about with the investments before he had [Music] trees and curriculum winners yes that is actually not for a position that is just ours and services that are required to help our curriculum [Music] I promise [Music] so then yeah when you're writing curriculum they're specialists and then you actually bring in teachers in the summer everything so what that increase was is mostly outdoors okay in the summer months this year's budget but had to take it out because of the hospital [Music] so we've lost a year
060of momentum he has strong words get back to that and [Music] to mean a cost that you have here kind of work is done by unseen schematic the meds it's just for like the generator for instance and how many coats are you guys it's round about cover typically we get two or three quotes to get an estimate for pretty much every yes capital items more experiences enable us to the appears is that while people are those odds are pretty good at estimating the big thing about the biggest changes render functions that's what that's the experience of higher [Music] it's between could also engage through another Castilian suddenly were talking about eliminating one position the one below that is maintenance but an increase of 38% with a native language also applies to employees say what's the
061addition of the maintenance of aviation explain the reason that account goes up so far budget of budget is because we made an adjustment this year for the temporary vacancy that we've had so we've had an unfilled position all year that we will be filling next year so we made a budget adjustment this year to cover other expenses which artificially lowers this year's budget which makes it look like a larger increase but so frenetic in the backstory Ella so because it's a great question we need to provide maintenance and you keep our buildings in the positive repair as I like to call it we have three eight we have one facilities director and three maintenance workers with the concerns with the ECS grant being significantly reduced or eliminated over the summer we took many prudence prudency
062actions we called them and did a hard freeze one of the things we did to save money in this year's budget when the ECS situation was with us through the fall was our facilities director had retired and he promoted one of the maintenance men to be our new facilities director which vacated that maintenance position we have not filled that maintenance position all year and you know our team is up to the task and they've been working very hard but to continue to maintain our facilities we need that position back in the budget so that's the backstory to what had just explained them thank you so since you brought up ECS today's report from field likely losing another one of 315 or $320,000 from the ECS budget that was assumed for next year what's the impact
063what's the plan I mean I guess we all have to work together on hapless before beds thoughts on and of course likeness thoughts and I guess our thoughts on I honestly think it's too low like this right now as a budgets performing our governor's proposal and we know right now how much that's wrong we were discussing the same thing during the same time last year and look how we went from the special education grant to excess cost and everything Queen so I honestly think we just need to see how it trends in to know what happens [Music] I'm a porter finance perspective the [Music] you know mr. bird [Music] we have a month our son actually [Music] more information everything yes thank one more comment about when we're looking through the wine items and we
064we see increases of like in the curriculum writing curriculum developing coming from the Board of Education to the Board of Selectmen I have always been very careful I mean if you look at my record with budget types I was very careful with money and I I asked a lot of questions and I actually voted no on a number of them for certain reasons but I also understand it in the last two years that I've been able to have the board with our current administrative team they have uncovered areas where where this is an absolute must now with great it's actually the strategic plan is through the curriculum writing and development and PT so just some back knowledge on that this is an area that it is a main focus area coming from the board that
065holder to this board we can understand where this people may look at that and say well you know why don't wait to do this there have been areas of concern that have been uncovered that are as important if not more important any nourishment program so I just wanted to make that up you know as you're looking through this and you see these numbers there are there are reasons for for these numbers in that in that particular area of curriculum development curriculum writing professional but all the same I know it's a better thank you [Music] people talk about the student field trips line was parked behind by 7,500 which is about 20% then I see I'm sorry this is 105 18 what you see behind 11 I see conference and travel actually went up about $250
066so how what are we for going on the students eyes sit aside or to achieve Chinese obviously staff administration is the professional development the know the the field trip number and actually if you look back at the history we tend to not spend as much as we had but this year spend 19,000 in 1617 and a little less than 25,000 1516 and the field trips is transportation to date such as math and music competitions and we just don't spend that much so we budgeted more realistically for that in 1819 in so John it's not field trips that it's not the teachers or grade levels decide this would be a great curriculum experience for the children because a lot of those are actually parents paper goes throw free onion so it's not those kind of field
067trips these are further meant as tens of math competition in those kind of things and it's in line with historic spending so then we increase in the conference and Tribune line on huge night of eleven is it professional development is that what you're seeking this is regarding clicking on those - so that's a more online way we for need to be really cheesy and also did a hard freeze one of the areas we froze this year was confidence infraction or so as well as last year unless you're even we've been taking permit [Music] yeah so and I just want to understand what the number is that I'm looking at I see online 611 case you can see a dozen dollars specifically related to the spending freeze from the I guess from the cuts from last
068week so that's another I was expecting to see more to be able to go a straight line from what was deferred in our meeting last week to what is being included in the budget this this year so 20,000 a specifically identified as here's what we would have spent now we're spending it again is the rest of it embedded in other other lives if you remembered it when you see that Brittany investments it's with the $59,000 with the science $25,000 that our additional instructional supplies for all industries [Music] that's our investment is that what you're asking yeah but I see it in somewhere I was just looking forward into detail I mean they had spoken of it with the new [Music] $59,000 is for the he buried science program and this is what we are piling
069in the sinner will roll out next year they have new sand I've never known anything [Music] let me just kind of look at the sheet they are looking at them you can see it right in the middle where this the 40,000 yep this year two columns over you see 40,000 going back in and the status quo increase and then two columns after that is 84,000 of new investment right that's not common no that's why I'm talking specifically about that the 40,000 you know which was deferred that that makes that make sense to me is there love but we spent we were budgeted this year of 310 we've squeezed it down to 270 next year went back to budget again three times why are you doing a sample of textbooks in the library right [Music] I'm
070seeing an increase in the 2018-2019 status quo but not in the amount that we took that effective they get these schools take advantage of more online resources now that are less costly than physical textbooks and library books all right [Music] stay from you the jumping element is that is it that's from that we've gotten from mr. producer yes and their purchasing agent Gary game okay we actually locked in at a very very favorable rate for the courier so that's why it's looking yes wasn't it 178 favorables it's estimated right now around 220 for next year I it's questions in the meaning philosophy for areas of reduction there was $80,000 teaming up first I spoke instructional supplies on page 10 line 611 has been $40,000 their budget adjustments which I'm assuming is part of that 6:41
071is 642 is 40,000 additional 20,000 that's up to 100 but we only had to BD here some just wondering is that those monies could be put back in if that's where these reductions were taken from something that I believe just agrees [Music] suppose in language yeah so I'm just I'm trying I'm trying to map that so if that mistake furniture right you see the library technology yeah thank you throws off nice to check it you have the answer [Music] regarding your items in capital yes [Music] or in the additional pages that you pass out [Music] unfortunately I mean not for repairs but where are we trending the the projects that were approved last year are we trying to move are we they'll be doing them that was delivered the more finance meeting which didn't get
072met to review those projects and whatnot it was just a data miss Bureau by the way it was put together but where are we trending in terms of those capital projects and is anything not I used to learn oh yeah because this is very slim I think in comparison to what was requested the current max larger we've got a lot less than yep from outside you know over the last month and a half I've gotten a request for removal for about five of the school yesterday in Duluth senior parking lots so this is warning forward we've consolidated a couple projects which were allowed to take them under one 416 so it's moving forward we're seeing I think compared to a year ago yield traction these projects are getting allocated to get prioritize they're getting paid
073on and we're going out and getting them done thank you regarding what's on the list for this year you and I know if you recall Leon chatted a couple weeks ago and you mentioned that you were including things in your maintenance versus trying to capitalize on you know that in that regard so if you look at prior year budgets we always had you know paint so many classrooms we're going to repair so many desks and furniture type of programs you know putting in and doing that all that's in our mainly budget you don't see any of those these are big capital projects okay we do that so that it's all on our main one but did you use a threshold for nice mission 30,000 50,000 like the town side was otherwise is a 15 you
074can see the risers are below that threshold not necessarily more the risers aren't maintenance type stuff yeah the operational things like replacing classroom furniture and maintenance items like painting it was more on the the nature of the of the request rather than the dollar amount those and those items happen to all be relatively small times have we really we're doing a first-year was anything 10,000 when we take care of last year was twenty I hope the only got up to forty thousand this year make the determination pay cash put it off so it's a little bit different than on the maintenance company and I agree that maintenance things she'd be in your operating budget not you're planning on spending they're talking about [Music] so we're not doing any Capital related to the 300,000 like we
075said before in the package this extra left mine if you ER the capital plan and then went over and down from there it is 40 million as a placeholder for 1920 should we really have that there for us did that realistically be booted out into another column I mean test here this half one for their plan makes it seem like we're actually one else's it's not exit button so we actually debated whether to submit that an update to the ten year plan that's exactly or wasn't the original submission was not a change so if we're in the process of ten year plan the fight exciton study it is done and use that to reset the timing of the project for myself hey you know you know the right financial cost and that's all the stuff
076we're expecting to get out of that piece of work so so wait we looked at that and we said it's right now we're not ready to change anything so we're just not doing us we probably I can add to that one of the other things Shawn is the architects are going to help us Shepherd us through the bureaucracy of state reimbursement in approvals and so forth so part of it is the town needs to approve that funding in order for us to work through the state and be assured of the reimbursement so that would happen sooner than actually writing a check for a four twenty dollar building five years from now let's say or something like that preferences and projects that Olivia the school's new station library is to keep them separate from our yearly
077capital understand what we're doing but it can't well people's perception of their budget off fifty five forty forty five million items in the capital and last year the capital used to 1.2 million now it's 43 million so I would like to do its formulas and online but I'd like to keep it just as a separate list just as we did with the financial advisor so we know where they I think the presentation numbers would be better without Heather that right there this represents that you're planning on contracts in 40 little next to it that's not try two years that's two years short figures there's still not going to do that understand this is a bonding injection this is an evolving projection and let me just ask you a question are you updating your out air
078plans as part of this process I understand that the controller's office along with the first select my name is updating that plan and evaluating whether or not a 10 year capital plan is actually valid or they should be three or five or seven yeah okay so we ought to participate information building condition study they should be done at the end of March with that plan is through Year 7010 is really wishful thinking but it's still a good exercise to go through so you know who says they to do it sometime in the future so I think it's worthwhile exercise stop being it every year the Indians are going to be tough especially with the budget might pick the size of ours but so for Kabbalah projects at huckleberry where anything that were not planning for
079anything 1819 in the capital perspective normal Oh so anything that would come up would just be [Music] yes the building right now is up to snuff as far as capital projects go he's on his statement a project for those temporaries Horrible's is on there's some other small get the water tank refinishing water tank if you happen to be able s its own battles yes all over your capitals so there's things that are happening in ventilators things like that there's but it doesn't need new capital now the portables were being used for storage as of late does that storage requirement go away you look the putter looking at a pirate is singing for how long do you think those [Music] it isn't why I asked yeah perhaps you don't need to answer that but if you
080are looking at the hots for a couple years let's say I would encourage you to look at actually purchasing a commune in the long run and then you could repurpose it somewhere else sure for equipment or something like that but renting those pods gets expensive yeah yeah in our facility director in working with Gerry gay and they was able to price all that out and that won't be in place until the portables will know the plan for that is as soon as the schools closed before summer school starts we want to it's probably if everything goes well the one week project and we're not at risk not having those those portables in terms of any spatial requirements for actually the students right I thought we have our space needs covered at that school oh it's
081like stories actually I'm a junkie man for the past years we have not used the bills for instructional last year or this year as far as student whereas there is need for next year in the condition to be quite honest that the portables are in cannot use them first your instruction one of the exercises that dr. bill did with principal diamond is they actually went through the school and with a couple of people and they looked at health resources were being used different allocations whether the children that are receiving special services where everything is happening in the school and through some really creative thinking we're also in the process of moving things around you know moving equipment moving supplies so that there's more available space and what we have now if need be so number
082one we can't use the portables to put kids and now they're they're not in great condition and again to reiterate wasn't in his last year it wasn't his this year and we have opened up space within the school for the students so you know we don't need them [Music] let me ask you guys a terrible question does this budget proposed by the Board of Education for operating and for capital serve as a budget that would serve our children as a way of achieving excellence [Music] this budget do you know what else you would need to make that a hard yes or watch the wicked do that I don't think we could [Music] and asking if you have if you have an idea what would it take to actually performs a budget that would we have
083our students came to have liked excellence [Music] loved to [Music] hodgins why not do that one night because right now what you're proposing is to something really another increase at that two point something like dollar increased by the impact on taxpayers $300,000 assessment on your home that's about $30 a year and a tax increase $30 a year we're talking about our children's futures and what we can provide them so why not ask for it the town boat sit down that's one thing but why not ask for it knowing that it's only $30 a year increase on a few hundred thousand dollars suspect let's tie score enough for our rankings and guys have dipped my twine I strive for better [Music] ouch so I mean I have to I'm going to jump in and actually agree
084that I mean is until as you guys closed your budget hearing and Bob you were saying then you didn't see any fat in the budget I completely agree that completely agree with that perhaps it's the right path to stabilize the special that vote this year head incrementally and then prepare ourselves for programming improvements in the next in the coming years but perhaps it's more aggressive to do a little more this year I don't know the answer but you guys you guys made the made the determination and I appreciate the discipline you had in putting something together you thought was fiscally responsible I think that it is certainly this was responsible perhaps erring on the sops Connecticut is assured on it it's an important question what does it take to get to excellence when we all
085many of us started on this board a couple of years ago the first thing we did was put together a strategic plan yeah very important tenant of that was that we had what doctor would behave on through or were we state-of-the-art on curriculum and really state-of-the-art on assessment and Howell was used to use use in conjunction with the correct excellent results so about 40 single investment we have done over the last two years and he said it can take four or five six years for you sees missing the benefit in the impact is to roll out of the kilim and assessment that is meaningful to the kids we in the first year we invested in a new English language the first meaning and then I curriculums we actually have two instructional supplies a new new
086framework for doing that it was well about we're in our second year think you're going to see excellence across all our grades will just commuters of implementation you can't really see it yet in fact we get frustrated sometimes working at me you know the assessment results but as it goes and that that consistent and thinking is the work for parents for a Killam that the kids it will build and build and build and that's how you get paid we're now expanding that from food science and health assume behind right so those are coming and we will start doing it you know the issue has been what can our teachers absorb so part of a piecing discussion has been how much can your teachers do in a year and so in that important area of rolling
087up curriculum and assessment I don't think Shawn you're going to do a lot of investing in here beyond and what could you do some interesting things maybe at the upper grades like a it's middle school language lab that would be something that would be a nice awesome it would be nice to have and our thinking as a board was given in a hormone and it is unbelievable special ed need to be respectful over here people will pay for this and not ask for the nice-to-haves when you're trying to go to the must haves and that's been the thinking could we come up with a list of things as taters and other step in certain places yes I don't think it would be from that elementary level and will so that was kind of a right
088so there's there's seeing that where are they know right now we have a lowest spending per student that's that it's the sounds but that sounds great for our school rankings have dipped so there's a concern there that it to me is a parent of future students are we underfunding better should we be investing in our to the students address that that spending your summer Cuba I mean this hasn't been something just in the last year Jesus has been decades in the making right so it's been a problem for decades every person's in it so why not get a little aggressive that's just my my take on it you know see everybody's I can't I agree with everybody's points but we have to be practical in the sense that if we know the lawyers with the
089tourism tax increase my guess is it's going to get moving down so we can do this and we can do it properly and get budget sick and afford on the first try if we're judicious we work hard when we give the residents good reasons [Music] vote for reasonable increases in the budget so if we try to take too big a bite in the Apple we're going to be sitting back here in July we're doing a budget to going through a floor again it's just a practical matter we have to be about that cognizant of everybody in town those who want the federal loan that the schools and those who don't it's it's a balancing act and I say a point where I couldn't happen under funding our schools one point of encouragement is that and
090I speak to the point that I made before when you look at test scores and when you look at what we spend per pupil with what we're incorporating or not week education is is related to us with the curriculum development with the curriculum writing with the professional development is going build for a dramatic change down the road so even though they're not asking for every single thing they want what they are asking for is going to have huge impacts on the classroom the our teachers prepared to teach and lining everything up to where like they were saying the administration was saying two three years from now the money that's put into this program will reap huge benefits so it's not and it's not aware of not asking for enough it's what we're giving them if
091they were to get this it is a tremendous TIFF would make a tremendous difference down the road and then you build on that I think I think I agree that it's it's it was thoughtful and disciplined and long-term playing I've been reverse decades of trends in a single budget but I think this is my personal opinion is that it's it well thought out tap stick that heaven and that's talking about class sizes at age two and we're saying that you know [Music] we talked about many flashlights fellas 20 hours 67% certainly it was representing that's an education I know we have our guidelines we wanna keep using it but we're going into special assistance it's a concerned mind that some requests or whoa and this coming year budget that's less miss Akane allows that issue
092and with much worse two years ago and stepwise and down and down to the point where [Music] almost all cost not just with any palace but a world of employment our targets apartment biggest and it is conversations not geophysical concerns me that this it seems to be you know saved children you know as we've been traversing through the school system and yeah all the plans work on details our incoming classes in your 150 stolen $25.99 is 200 grand so what's happening is co2 population it's a relief they're coming in small and underused to what that's helping us do as it's those smaller classes of wall and throw in a word judicious on where we think that's happened so we can deal with politics book last too big although classes like the current sixth and eighth
093graders they're all folk over 200 very glad to see that you are adding that math teacher because that seemed in high school we have here and so we've been very good following that through and that's first and second-grade Outland because we just have to be using that enhance fly sizes of the elephants so trying to be prudent and balances we were going through know that what these silicon [Music] slide to show reduction of part-time clerk positions and the monitored leader of the HSN and the grants came at the budget they're pretty minimal amounts of money and I just know you know in my job to know that you have a little bit of extra support staff makes a big difference in what you feel like you could get there another day and but they was
094a little out to be cutting out of the budget you know where it could you know produce a lot of the file support that's needed for the teachers if they have to produce a club with but I wonder why language lab was taken out before it was brought here it'd be nice to have your nice to have lists of things to say you know I know it my truth with the language lab at the high school how many years was eating a budget before I finally got past Mirabal to say we can ask more but if it's not in the budget we're not going to say you know the budget does get reduced before it goes to the voters that will be asked for the middle the past five years and now you know can
095we get it after all this time can we do it in and I think it would be good to see those types of things what our I mean I understand what the curriculum and teacher resources there's always so much you can implement at a time but to know what you really see what you really want to have and give us the list of of everything cha cha I know I believe that we used to have a projected a projected program where we have dishes you know the the budget we're working on now but we've what we projected as a poor that for the following year and it was like a three or four year plan out to where because you decided that you were not gonna pursue their language lab at the middle school that
096would be shown in the projection for next year yeah I believe he used to do that or that we did it once or twice and that may be something that would be beneficial so that the different boards can see okay yeah this is something we really wish we have we're gonna plan on getting this in two years or you know and make a list of of the wish list something that's more visible I think something that would would be if we did have something like that if we had a current year nice-to-haves right because if we had a spike in the special that costs caused the board to make some hard decisions to not put something before the taxpayers that maybe wouldn't be feeling so well well it'd be nice to have your nice to
097have because we perhaps would not after further discussions you them has so much nice to have right if that list has things that are I can explaining for if that list of things has things that would directly impact students cause the teachers to go into tells right why the hell am I look at those right I mean being an absolutely that would be great and and I know of course shut up to Rocky and aza the Board of Finance doesn't dictate what exactly you spend money on modern education however if there's some sort of agreement or understanding that is something who does get funded right that the money will go towards that I think that would be extremely helpful the Board of Selectmen does meet financed us on but if that's something that would be
