•   Federal Jobs Bill: This year school districts also received EduJobs funding to be used
        both in FY11 and FY12 for saving jobs. We used about half of our allotted funding this
        year, and have saved the remainder for next year.

    •   Town Appropriation: Last year, FY11, the Town Council appropriated 1.65% increase to
        the School Department. At present, the Town Manager has asked the School Department
        to create a budget for a 0% increase over the current year. However, the actual amount
        of the Town Council appropriation is unresolved at this time.

(slide 16)
FY12 Financial Challenges

Locally we are looking at: salary increases, steps and lanes, and unpredictable (and perhaps
rising) Special Education costs.

The following are some of our specific financial challenges:
   • $504,000 for automatic salary adjustments required by current collective bargaining
         agreements.
   • $287,000 in proposed contractual changes in the Memorandum of Agreement between
         the School Committee and the Watertown teachers.
   • $100,000 in additional costs if the general salary increase for teachers (1.5%) is applied
         to other employees in the district.

(slide 17)
     • $425,000 to provide critical services for Special Education students (including tuition,
         transportation, contract services, and additional Instructional Assistants.)
     • $440,000 to replace the loss of the ARRA federal stimulus grant.
     • $20,000 to replace funding under the Education-Jobs grant.
     • $50,000 to replace an anticipated decline in other federal grants.
     • $165,000 for three more teachers to keep up with rising enrollment.

(slide 18)
FY12 Shortfall

We have several other cost factors that impact our programming and our FY12 budget. They
include: enrollment, student diversity, staffing levels, special education programming, classroom
resources, and recent recommendations for business operations.

(slide 19)
Increasing Enrollment

We need to add teachers to maintain class size as our enrollment continues to rise. Since 2007
enrollment has increased by 240 students. Next year, we are anticipating an increase of 82
students, and already know that the Lowell and Hosmer schools each need another Kindergarten.

(slide 20)
Enrollment by Populations

We want to maintain our class sizes because they are appropriate for our population. Our student
population is very diverse. One third of our students come from homes where English is not the
first language. There are very few other school districts in Massachusetts with such significant
linguistic, socio-economic, and cultural diversity.

We also have a high percentage of Special Education students compared to other districts in
Massachusetts: the average percentage for districts in the state is 17%; ours is 20%. The result is

  • 16. Federal Jobs Bill: This year school districts also received EduJobs funding to be used both in FY11 and FY12 for saving jobs. We used about half of our allotted funding this year, and have saved the remainder for next year. • Town Appropriation: Last year, FY11, the Town Council appropriated 1.65% increase to the School Department. At present, the Town Manager has asked the School Department to create a budget for a 0% increase over the current year. However, the actual amount of the Town Council appropriation is unresolved at this time. (slide 16) FY12 Financial Challenges Locally we are looking at: salary increases, steps and lanes, and unpredictable (and perhaps rising) Special Education costs. The following are some of our specific financial challenges: • $504,000 for automatic salary adjustments required by current collective bargaining agreements. • $287,000 in proposed contractual changes in the Memorandum of Agreement between the School Committee and the Watertown teachers. • $100,000 in additional costs if the general salary increase for teachers (1.5%) is applied to other employees in the district. (slide 17) • $425,000 to provide critical services for Special Education students (including tuition, transportation, contract services, and additional Instructional Assistants.) • $440,000 to replace the loss of the ARRA federal stimulus grant. • $20,000 to replace funding under the Education-Jobs grant. • $50,000 to replace an anticipated decline in other federal grants. • $165,000 for three more teachers to keep up with rising enrollment. (slide 18) FY12 Shortfall We have several other cost factors that impact our programming and our FY12 budget. They include: enrollment, student diversity, staffing levels, special education programming, classroom resources, and recent recommendations for business operations. (slide 19) Increasing Enrollment We need to add teachers to maintain class size as our enrollment continues to rise. Since 2007 enrollment has increased by 240 students. Next year, we are anticipating an increase of 82 students, and already know that the Lowell and Hosmer schools each need another Kindergarten. (slide 20) Enrollment by Populations We want to maintain our class sizes because they are appropriate for our population. Our student population is very diverse. One third of our students come from homes where English is not the first language. There are very few other school districts in Massachusetts with such significant linguistic, socio-economic, and cultural diversity. We also have a high percentage of Special Education students compared to other districts in Massachusetts: the average percentage for districts in the state is 17%; ours is 20%. The result is -16-
