What about Fall 2016?

K – 12 Projections for September 2016 (based on moving along December 2015 actuals) Grades K – (to gr. 6) (new K) + 8 (grade K to 1 growth) = 1954 Down 49, plus net other in/out migration Grades (to HS) (from grade 5) – 20 (to p.s.) = 1081 Up 14, plus net other in/out migration Grades (from grade 8) – 275 (graduates) – 20 (to p.s.) = 1232 Up 34, plus other net in/out migration Projections assume only private school out-migration and only K and K-1 new growth; so they are conservative based upon past experience of at least some other net increases. K number includes both full and half day (if any) Projected K -12

FY 2017 – WORKING DRAFT PROPOSALS The slides below list categories of proposals being recommended by the administration at this time; related costs have been included in the preliminary budget proposal figures. previously deferred or unfunded needs unique student needs and challenges other programmatic or support service needs Comments on base budget additions are noted. The pink shaded slides include requests that are important but not recommended to be funded at this time.

Previously deferred or unfunded requests These requests reflect previously identified needs that remain unmet. Increased cost of first year of 5-year bus lease (with 1 additional bus) – increase projected at 25% for all new buses in bid specs. Additional large bus driver (HPS employee) – to accommodate increase in middle school enrollment where ridership is high and requires all 21 proposed large buses. Math tutor hours for each elementary school (25/wk. for each school) - to increase attention to mathematics interventions, especially for underperforming students at grades maintenance worker – third year request to restore maintenance capability, with special attention to elementary and middle school fields and playground issues. 1.0 special education teacher (.5 each at East and South) – budgeted last year as part of FDK, but hiring deferred as result of need for 16 th session, when K revenue was not yet certain.

Positions or services necessary to meet unique student needs These requests reflect the changing demographics of the HPS population. 1.0 secondary school nurse (net cost of replacing aide role) - part of a multi-year effort to provide both RN and DESE - licensed nurses (replacing current aide roles) at both HHS and HMS to support student health needs and address the growing complexity and increasing number of serious medical issues in our largest buildings. 1.0 MS guidance counselor – to meet enrollment and growing social, emotional and personal counseling needs of the large HMS enrollment. Transition Room tutor hours (25/wk.) for HMS – to address needs similar to those the HS Transition Room serves.

Other proposals to address programmatic and support service needs.2 FTE Elementary Math Specialist – to increase from 1.8 to 2.0 math specialist services shared among 4 schools. In addition to providing support and modeling for teachers, role will also monitor and direct instruction for requested tutor hours for direct services to needy students. 1.0 HS health/PE teacher – to serve growing HS enrollment (currently served by only 2.0 PE teachers) and address the need for additional health education instruction. This role is also a component of a proposed change in HHS graduation requirements. 1.0 shared elementary technology assistant (or equivalent in per diem hourly support) – to manage setup and maintenance needs of increased technology in each of the schools. This role will allow the building tech specialists to continue with their focus on teaching and supporting teachers in technology integration.

Other Needs (Continued) 1.0 Special Education administrative/instructional support role – This position will provide support for the increasing demand for timely decision-making, supervision of instructional staff, and responsiveness to parents not possible with the current resources at the central office level. We are looking at several possible role descriptions and compensation models for meeting these needs..2 MS art teacher – to address the need for additional art instruction as the largest classes move into grades 7 and 8. Currently HMS has only 1.6 art FTEs. Incremental cost of moving Post-Secondary Planning Coordinator from Tutor rate to 1.0 FTE counselor – to ensure continuity of staffing from one year to the next. Since the inception of this role, we have lost tutors (all certified in guidance) to full time positions in other districts.

Requests from administrators NOT INCLUDED in this budget proposal and NOT RECOMMENDED at this time These requests are all worthwhile but, in the opinion of the central office administration, do not rise to the same level of priority for the FY 17 proposed budget as do other requests; so each is recommended to be deferred at this time..6 MS special education teacher – to meet increasing number of children who need a skills-based learning environment. MS language lab coverage hours – to provide for setup and oversight of equipment and for teacher support. Increased paraeducator hours for PRS and South literacy support – to restore parity of service for RTI/TRI..1 MS foreign language and.1677 PRS music – to restore two teachers at part time status (self-requested LOA) to MS/HS social studies teacher – to lower class sizes in several courses.
