A Message from the Superintendent

The Operating Budget Request Process

011 behalf of the students of the Norwalk Public Schools, I am submitting for your consideration the Operating Budget Request for the 2011- 12 school year. This budget represents the collaboration with the Norwalk Federation of Teachers (NFT), the Norwalk Federation of Educational Personnel (NFEP) and the Norwalk Association of School Administrators (NASA), and the Norwalk Parent Teacher Organization Council (NPTOC). The development of this budget initiated a new process which was begun in August 2010 when a budget committee was formed by the Superintendent comprised of the Interim Chief Operating Officer, the Interim Budget Coordinator, the Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction and the union presidents of the NFT, NFEP and NASA, and the Vice President of the NPTOC. The committee met weekly to review every department's budget request. Each line item of the budget was reviewed.

This budget funds all negotiated agreements of salaries and benefits. The budget does not have any new initiatives. This means that needed improvements in developing and implementing a more rigorous instructional program must be curtailed. In addition, June 30, 2011 marks the end of the American Recovery and Investment Act (ARRA) funds that the school system has utilized over the last two years. After a critical analysis of the use of the funds, some of these dollars have been rolJed back to the operating budget. Finally, Ex.cess Cost Share (ECS) funding from the state is in jeopardy of being reduced. At the time of this submission, it is not certain how much of these funds may not be forthcoming.

It is important that we realize that this budget is built upon significant sacrifice with cuts that drastically impact our ability to implement strong instructional programs for all our students. Any reduction of a position or program in this budget will hurt our students. We should be proud of our students, employees and our families who continue to work together 011 behalf of all our students. The economy may have slowed down, but our staff must keep moving forward. As the economic situation improves, Norwalk must consider re-investing significantly in our school system in order for our students to be competitive in the 21 st century and prepared to go to college.

Respectfully yours,

Susan Marks, EdD. Superintendent

OPERATING BUDGET REQUEST

GOALS OF THE NORWALK PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Goal One: INSTRUCTION

We will build the Norwalk Public Schools into an exemplary district characterized by a cohesive and coordinated academic system with a set of clearly defined performance based outcomes for all students. Our work as a learning community will:

• emphasize mastery of knowledge, strategies, and skills;

develop in our students the habits of thinking, cooperation, and self-discipline;

•

focus on results;

ensure excellence and equity of opportunity; value diversity;

instill respectfulness and responsibility.

•

•

•

Goal Two: COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION

We will actively seek the input and involvement of staff, parents, students, and the community when making the educational decisions necessary to ensure every student's success.

Goal Three: COMMUNICATION

We shall effectively communicate to the public our plans, progress, and successes for the implementation of our goals.

Goal Four: FINANCE

We will develop annual operating and capital financial plans to implement the objectives necessary to achieve our goals and meet our contractual obligations in a manner that is fiscally responsible to our community,

Goal Five: LONG RANGE PLANNING

We will develop, communicate, and implement long range educational and facilities plans based on student needs, program needs, equity and excellence, and fiscal responsibility.

Adopted by the Board of Education ~ June 5, 2001

Of Special Consideration in the Proposed 2011-2012 Operating Budget Request

One of the goals in developing this budget is to pay attention to three important elements that we believe are critical in our community.

Transparency ~ We continue to clarify the amount of information that we provide in the budget document. Our purpose is to make sure that the Board and public understand what proposed expenditures are behind each of the budget appropriation lines. We have included information about our financial history, staffing, the roles and responsibilities of support staff, and whatever other information we believe is critical in creating understanding about how we believe our financial resources should be used.

Collaboration- We have included stakeholders in the development of the budget. We have faced decisions on past trends, student needs and fiscal responsibility. We collaborated with staff, union representations, parents, consultants, and city financial personnel,

Accountability - We recognize and understand om responsibility for the wisest possible use of the significant public funds entrusted to us. We will answer the questions that are asked of us with the fullest and most appropriate explanation possible. We believe this is best accomplished by those most qualified to provide the answers. We respectfully urge, therefore, that all questions be directed to Dr. Susan Marks, Superintendent who will be able to ensure that accurate and complete information is provided. Those who are familiar with the facts can best solve the problems of rumors or misinformation.

Operating Budget Development Assumptions

As is don~ e~ery year, devel?,pment of the ?udget is based on the ov~rriding question, "What is necessary in order for t~s ~istrict to meet Its mtended goals? In the operating budget there are certam costs that must be met annually. For example, buildings must be heated and lit, students must be transported, and a required number of staff must be employed. Contractual obligations also shape how these costs must be met. The process looks at expenditure experience from previous years and forecast anticipated prices. Labor costs are based on our contractual agreements. Beyond that, however, even within programs that are required, the question is asked, "Are we providing services in the most efficient and economical way possible and examine all budget proposals for their intended purpose and reasonableness? Based on our priorities and, the current economic forecast what is a reasonable financial plan for consideration, requests are honored) rejected, or postponed for future consideration.

• The 2011-2012 Operating Budget continues to support our instructional program and provide the essential support for all students to be successful. It does not however provide for needed initiatives to improve the instructional program. There is a commitment to improved student achievement for all students and the delivery of services in the most efficient manner.

• Similar to last year, our projected fund balance at the end of the 2010-2011 school year will be minimal and the potential offset to 2011-2012 costs, consequently, will be minimal, While our intent is to return to the City as large a fund balance as possible, we will work with the City to make the mostjudicious use of any unexpended balances in light of next year's budget appropriation.

• As a District in Need of Improvement, the state directs the District Improvement PLan implementation. The strategies for improvement are specific and focused. Professional development activities are consistent with that plan.

• Given that, people are our greatest resource, the principal costs are in personnel and fringe benefits. Each of these areas is carefully analyzed to make sure that our staffing is determined based on the number of children we teach and the essential support services that we must provide to meet our instructional mission.

The goal of this operating budget is to manage the resources we are appropriated in a way that best supports the instructional program and the state and local health and safety requirements to ensure that our children are being educated in safe and secure buildings.

Support of the Instructional Program

The Board of Education has articulated its commitment: to maintain a comprehensive educational system that meets the needs of our students whether they are academically gifted or need additional support in order to be successful; to provide comprehensive opportunities for students to grow in areas outside of academics in the arts, athletics, and other extracurricular activities, and to foster appreciation for the diversity in race and culture that makes Norwalk special. The Board's goals make this clear,

We believe that students win be successful if they are given instructional tasks of high academic rigor by superior teachers who continually challenge them; if students are provided with necessary academic support, and if students have the appropriate books, materials, and equipment. This work will continue.

To provide the structure and support for academic success, there is a focus on a more systemic approach to the work of the schools. Each school must use data teams to examine student work and to develop its specific, and measureable, instructional goals, Technology is becoming more and more a part ofthe instructional repertoire of teachers and students in classroom work. Schools use common formative assessments both to assess the extent of student learning and to judge student performance. All of this work involves significant professional development for the administrator and the teaching staff. Additionally significant focus is addressing and improving the delivery of special education programs and services. Developing programs to bring students back to the district from out placements is apriority,

No Child Left Behind legislation imposes sanctions on those schools that do not meet specific, and increasingly higher, standards. Norwalk has been identified as a District in Need oflmprovement for 110t having met the required standards, principally for African American students, The Norwalk Public Schools District Improvement Plan supports the work of the School Growth Plans and provides the framework for system improvement. The District Improvement Plan and the School Growth Plans are goal oriented and data driven. Data is being used more extensively than ever before in order to identify with greater specificity where we need to concentrate our efforts and impact instructional practice. The State Department of Education has approved our District Improvement Plan and is supporting us in this effort, The achievement gap between white, African American and Hispanic students, while narrowing, persists and the district needs to press forward in our goal of eliminating the gap. At this time, increasing the rigor of all students, including those who are currently performing at high levels, is essential.

Variances of three or more students in a particular grade in the elementary schools can determine whether teachers have to be added or reduced. Estimates that are made when the budget is developed may not be accurate when school opens in the fall since decisions which were made in December may have changed when school opens. Hence, for the 2011-2012 school year we have classes being watched for increases or decreases.

Staffing Guidelines

Staffing decisions are based on program needs and contractual requirements. It is contract with the Norwalk Teachers Federation that we maintain a student-teacher ratio of 24.0 to I at the elementary school level and 21.3 to I at the secondary school level. Class sizes are limited as follows:

Grades K - 2 - 22 students

Grades 3 - 5 - 24 students

Grades 6 - 12 - 28 students

At the elementary school level, the number of teachers for each grade is determined by dividing the projected enrollment by 22 for grades K-2 and by 24 for grades 3-5. For example, if we anticipate 80 kindergarten students in a particular school, we project 4 teachers (80 divided by 22 = 3.63 which equates to 4 teachers). When enrollments are very close to requiring an additional teacher, we monitor that enrollment very closely and budget for fewer staff recognizi ng that a reserve has been established for additional staff, if necessary. For example, if the projected enrollment was for 89 kindergarten students, we would still project 4 teachers (89 divided by 22 = 4.05 which we equate to 4 teachers). We may need the additional teacher if the enrollment exceeds our projection or we may not if the enrollment falls short of our projection. Alternatively, we may add a class size aide if the excess enrollment is only I student. In the proposed operating budget request for 20 I 1- I 2 there is no teacher reserve for elementary teachers.

At the middle school level, we determined our staffing in the subjects of math, language arts, science, and social studies based on a 5 person team (I math. 2 language arts, I science, and I social studies) for approximately 125 students. For example, if a middle school has an enrollment of 260 students in grade 6, we would create two teams of approximately 130 students. 5 teachers would be needed for each team with an approximate class size of 26 in each class. If a grade has an anticipated enrollment of less than 200, we examine whether or not we can create a team that includes more than one grade. Students also take courses in Music, Art, Physical Education, Technology, and Family and Consumer Science. Others participate in the Academically Talented program. The number of teaching stations may also determine the class size in these subjects and, therefore, the number of needed staff.

At the high school level, staffing is more difficult to explain using a formula. While certain subjects are required in each year, more opportunities exist for electives as students enter their junior and senior year resulting in less precise staff projections. In one school, there may be more of a demand in certain electives than in the other requiring additional staff in a particular department. We have approximated class sizes based on enrollments in English classes in the current school year.

The number of Special Education staff and teachers of students for whom English is not their first language (ELL students) is entirely dependent on student needs and governed by law. The number of students taught by each teacher varies based on student need.

By level and department, we have provided an overview of staffing for that level or department. You will also find more specific information about the number of staff assigned to each school including the funding source for each position.

Our goal is to make our staffing decisions based on sound educational practice and fiscal responsibility.

Highligllts about Briggs

The staff at Briggs High School is dedicated to providing a quality education for each student. Students have a wide range of academic abilities. While some were on Honor Roll as mi ddle school students, others ane in need of substantial remediation. The challenge in educating such diverse learners is met through ongoing reflective teaching practi ces and a team approach toward problem solving. Helping students to succeed as learners and to move toward graduation are goals that the staff takes seriously. Our budget reflects what we value: books that students can read for their own euj oyment so they will become better readers if they spend time reading what they enjoy. To challenge our more proficient learners, we have added a Trigonometry class as well as a more challenging English class. Briggs has also expanded its grant-funded Interdistrict/NCC Pre-College Initiative partnership with NCC to allow students to parti cipate ill certificate courses. This budgeted item affords students an opportunity to earn a national certificate which may help them find work upon graduation.

DECEMBER 2010 80 English Language Learner (ELL) Education Departmeut

What is the state mandate regarding educating English Language Learners (ELLs)?

We are required by the State of Connecticut to offer bilingual services in any school where there are 20 or more ELLs from the same language group. In Norwalk, all of our schools except Briggs HS must offer bilingual services in Spanish. In addition, Brien McMahon HS must offer bilingual services in Haitian Creole. Bilingual services can vary, but we must provide some form of support in the native language. All ELLs receive English as a Second Language (ESL) instruction (for students in our bilingual programs, ESL is a component).

How do we determine if a student needs services?

We follow a specific screening procedure involving a home language survey, student interview, and an assessment oflistening, speaking, reading, and writing skills.

What is OUl' program model? Elementary Schools

Depending on the school structure, number of students, and individual student needs, ELL teachers may see students in small groups for separate instruction ("pull out" model), or within the mainstream classroom ("push in" model). ELL teachers work with students on English language development, as well as the skills needed for success in all content areas: language arts, math, social studies, and science. The amount of service depends on the English proficiency level of the students (beginner, intermediate, or advanced). At Silvermine ES and West Rocks MS, we offer a Dual Language program where both English and Spanish dominant students are instructed in both languages.

Secondary Schools

In all schools, we offer ESL classes at various levels. As in the elementary program, ELL teachers work with students on English language development, as well as the skills needed for success in all content areas: language arts, math, social studies and science. We also offer ESLlBilingual Social Studies classes.

How long do students stay in the program?

Students stay in the program anywhere from one year to five years ( or more) depending on many factors including their age at arrival, their English proficiency level at arrival, and their prior schooling. Most students remain in the program three to four years. However, after three years in a bilingual program, ELLs can no longer receive bilingual services, but will continue to receive ESL support until they attain high levels of English proficiency.
