Ansonia School Budget Proposal

8/3/2019 Ansonia School Budget Proposal

1/19

-\

ET NARRAAnsonia Public Schools has seen great advancement in academic achievement over the past several years.According to the federal No Child Left Behind Act, in order to maintain the level of federal iunding at tfre time,the district restructured in 200912010. Although the restructure required a commitment of financial resources,the budget impact was minimized by offering a creative Voluntary Retirement lncentive program which saved$200,000.The work continues to reach higher standards. Teachers and administrators have recently made gains inrevising important curriculum and creating new curriculum where it was lacking. This process is currentlyabout one{hird complete. Notable progress has been made, but much more is left to do. This summer, acurriculum conference was convened in which 29 documents were created or revised. By year's end, districtadministration will have created nearly 600 assessment documents for teachers' use in the classroom. Thishelps to maximize teachers' instructional time in the classroom and also helps assure compliance with statemandates on how the district identifies students who may be considered for special educatlon services. Thereis much left to do in this arena, especially with the impending application for re-accreditation of Ansonia HighSchool in 2014 with the New England Association of schools and colleges.Ansonia Public Schools has seen groMh in academic achievement with minimal additional financial resourceswhile at the same time facing increasing challenges, mandates and demands. The discipline for efficienly andeffectively using financial resources is demonstrated by our academic achievement relative to our state wideranking of per pupil expenditures. According to 09/10 data from the State of Connecticut, Ansonia ranks 166out of 1 66 in per pupil expenditures, which is the lowest in the state. ln addition, to help control costs we havealso negotiated a year of -O-oh wage increases for most of the bargaining units and all of the non-unionemployees. We strive for the achievement of the students in oui comirunity while acknowledging ourresponsibility and accountability to the taxpayers of Ansonia. As the fiduciary for t'he taxpayer's apprdpriition,we have controlled expenditures and reduced cost where possible. The successes accomplished'have beenwith zero or minimal additional funding. The appropriated increases over the past several years have been:

2009/2010 2010/2011 2011/2012$25,577,214 $26,077,214 $26,s77,214$a $500,000 $3oo,\oa-_ !.0070 1.95% 1.15%

The budget being presented is primarily being driven by two factors. The first is the increasing costs forcurrent operations. A baseline budget was established based on the cost of current operations for"next year.The cost increases are most evident in salaries, benefits, transportation, and out-of-district tuition. An averagebudget increase of 1o/" .for each of the past three years has reduced all other accounts to a sustenance level.For the 201212013 budget, all sites were again held to a -o-Yo increase (except for contractual salaries andbenefits). This scenario cannot continue indefinitety and the fixed cost incieases have exceeded any ability tomake fufther reductions.The second factor is a unlque situation in which we are losing over $1,o0o,ooo in grant funding tor the 12113budget year. Ansonia Public Schools has for a long time benifited from grant funding to keep the cost to thelocaltaxpayer down while providing a quality education to our children. ThIs grant funiing was a critical part ofour recent successes and the personnel and programs they supported are an important pirt of our educationaloperations' The irony is that we are losing these funds beiause we have improved, and that the loss of thesefundswasinnowayforeseeable. Of the$t,tz+,gg+of grantreductionsitis'necessarytoadd$719,611backinto the local budget request.As Administrators, Educators, and citizens we are presenting a responsible and frugal budget under thecircumstances. More detailof this discussion is included in thiJbudgeidocument. We [ope ttrit we will earnyour supporl.

Ansonia Public SchoolsDepartment of Teaching and Learning

December 5,20LLFacts about Ansonia's Financial Support for EducationThis letter summarizes how the city of Ansonia currently compares to other connecticut public schooldistricts in its financial support of education. When the term "similar districts" is used in this letter, itpertainsto schooldistrictsthat have been selectedforcomparison purposes. we do notseekto makeinappropriate comparisons to districts that are much larger or more affluent than Ansonia' These sevensimilar districts are: Derby; East Hartford; Meriden; New London; Norwich; west Haven; and windham'All data are obtained from the connecticut state Department of Education (csDE) and are from the2009-2010 school Year.

Funding vs. Ability to Pay for Education:The csDE expresses what a school district spends on educationin terms of a per-pupil allotment. This is the district's total localbudget allocation divided by the number of students. ln this,r"r, Anronia ranks last among all districts; 167th out of 167 '

Ansonia 510,521CT Districts Similar to Ansonia 512,427Other CT Districts 513,702

The CSDE also maintains another statistic called "ability to payfor education,,. This is a ranking of school districts and their access to financial resources (local, state,federal). ln this category, Ansonia ranks 159th out of L67. ltwould be unreasonable and inappropriateto ask Ansonia taxpayers to support education in the same way as highly affluent districts' ln this case, ifAnsonia provided education funding equivalent to its 159th ranking for ability to pay, it would roughlyequate to $709 per child - or S1.9 million additional dollars in the overall Board of Education budget.This estimate was established by comparing Ansonia to watertown; which is actually ranked 159th forper-pupil spending. The statewide average for all districts' per-pupil spending is S13,702'Spending on Personnel:At public meetings, some Ansoniaresidents have expressed concernsabout the school district having asurplus of administrative personnel'Analysis of the data reveals trends tothe contrary. Ansonia administrators are a imaller proportion of the total certified staff than theaverage for similar districts and other connecticut districts. The statewide average proportion ofadministrators is 4.5%, ln other categories, Ansonia has proportions of staff very similar to those ofsimilar districts.

Teacher Salaries:Continuing the trend, Ansonia does notcompare favorably when looking at teachersalaries. While teacher salaries make up a verylarge proportion of the overall educationbudget, reduced spending can have unintendeddetrimental effects on the school system.Anecdotal reports show that many newer teachers that have left Ansonia have done so for higher pay insurrounding communities. This means that these receiving districts benefit from Ansonia's investmentin training these teachers and that Ansonia must dedicate a disproportionate amount of effort to newteacher induction and training. This chart shows the average salary earned for teachers who have aBachelor's degree but have not yet earned a Master's and for those who have earned a Master,s.

Resources for Student Learning:Two statistics regarding resources that are tracked by the CSDEare the number of school library books per student and numberof students per computer in a school. The number of librarybooks is of even greater importance than before. Modernliteracy instruction depends on having a wide variety of readingmaterial so that children in the same classroom can have accessto books of varied difficulty. tn this statistic, a higher numberindicates greater financial support and spending. When lookingat computers, the numbers function oppositely - the lower thenumber the ereater the financial support and spending. The statistic is stated in reverse to the librarybooks. ln other words, if every student in the school was simultaneously seated at a computer, howmany students would have to share each machine?

Class Size:The implications of class size are obvious.This is true at all levels, but especially so inthe early grades. As teachers divide theirclasses into small groups to addressdistinct learning needs, class size directlyimpacts their ability to implement lessonseffectively. ln these data, Ansonia compares favorably at the kindergarten level but less favorably atgrades two and five. Smaller class size indicates greater possibility of one-to-one and small-groupinteractions between teacher and student.

ln Closing:We hope that this information can serve to guide those who have volunteered to serve all residents ofAnsonia on various boards and committees.
