5 1110 Main Street, East Hartford, CT Tel: (860) Fax: (860) DISTRICT VISION: DISTRICT MISSION: Schools that are the Pride of our Community To deliver a high quality learning experience for EVERY CHILD, EVERY DAY. Expectations Matter Effort Matters Competence Matters Solutions Matter Relationships Matter Results Matter DISTRICT CORE BELIEFS: WE BELIEVE... We believe our expectations set the bar for performance throughout all district levels. We expect all children to reach their fullest potential as Expectations Matters: learners and achieve career or college readiness. We achieve our expectations through a commitment to goal setting, high level adult performance, relentless support and continual adherence to system wide accountability. We believe as leaders, our effort sets the tone, concept and work ethic of the district. We demonstrate effort through our daily actions, our Effort Matters: willingness to solve problems and our relentless commitment to excellence. We believe as leaders, our personal level of expertise is a relative concept that must continually grow and improve. We are committed to personal Competence Matters: growth, to challenging our areas of current weakness and to emphasizing our current areas of comfort and strength. We model for our district what it means to be life long, committed and growing learners. We believe as leaders, our approach to all challenges must be a solution based mindset. We demonstrate this approach by addressing all Solutions Matter: challenges with optimism, creativity and an insistence that a solution is available to us. We model this approach to our district by refusing to complain, by refusing to give up and by always being willing to take another look. We believe that the relationships we share with each other, within our departments and within the district make the difference in getting the Relationships Matter: results we want. We model strong relationships based on honesty, loyalty and a commitment to working together. We believe that our success as a team and our success as individuals are measured by tangible results. We demonstrate this belief by knowing our Results Matter: current level of performance, setting realistic goals and holding ourselves accountable on a regular basis to these goals.

12 Part II: FY20 Budget Proposal Summary EHBOE Budget History Over the past six years, the EHPS Budget reflects a minimal and conservative growth trend that is the result of wise and responsible stewardship of district resources as well as a significant and growing reliance on grant making and management. EHBOE Budget History $87,266,419 $88,266,419 $89,266,419 $90,436,419 $90,691,419 $94,082, Proposed 2020 Schools that are the Pride of the Community

13 Part II: FY20 Budget Proposal Summary Federal/State/Foundation Grant Expenditure History Historically, EHPS has been able to supplement the Town budget appropriation with significant grant funding from a variety of Federal/State and Foundation sources. The proposed 2020 budget includes $1.5M in projected Alliance dollars. EHPS has been widely recognized for its innovative practices and willingness to engage funders in projects yielding strong, evidence based outcomes. Grants have been fully leveraged against the general budget and fund over 377 positions (or 28%) across the district. $21,816,862 EHPS Grant Funding $22,654,206 $25,245, Grant Funded Positions $24,334,499 $26,745,019 $11,773,479 $13,998,784 $15,227,410 Administrative 5.5 Certified 130 Non-Certified 242 Total 378 *Current year estimate **Includes FY2018 estimate and projected increases in State Alliance funds * Schools that are the Pride of the Community

14 Part III: Budget Expenditure/Revenue Factors The FY20 Board of Education s Budget Proposal represents the financial exercise of attempting to balance projected revenues by projected expenditures. The following factors played a significant role in the development of this proposal. Budget Expenditure Factors -Increased Health Benefit Costs -Increased Contractual Salaries -Increased Transportation Costs -Partial Debt Service payment -Increased Utility Costs FY Adopted Budget $89,266,419 Budget Revenue Factors -Included projected increase of Alliance monies -Increased Woodland/SPED Services Revenues -Pre-Paid Debt Service FY20 Proposed Budget $94,082,619 ($3,391,200, 3.7%) -Increased assorted revenues (E-Rate, Medicaid, Misc)

15 Part IV: Budget Summary Proposed Expenditures Transportation $6,286,276 6% SPED Tuition $3,600,000 4% Magnet School Tuition $2,181,245 2% Utilities $2,534,452 2% Supplies/Textbooks/Periodicals $972,295 1% Other $2,879,787 3% Plant/Maintenance $2,012,649 2% Insurance (Non-Benefit) $697,800 1% Employee Benefits $16,563,905, 17% Staff Salaries $61,509,724, 61% Equipment $552,471 1% Debt Service $337,275 0% FY20 Board of Education Expenditures Total Budget - $100,127,879 Funding Sources - $6,045,260 Net Budget - $94,082,619

16 Part V: Summary/Conclusion Critical Factors in Budget Mitigation Strategies The following chart represents several strategies that could further mitigate the increase stated in this budget proposal. These strategies will be review/executed over the next 6 months in the budget process. Strategy Description Implementation Plan Concern Refine/ Mitigate Health Insurance Costs Receive additional increase in Alliance Funding (Bi-partisan Formula October 2017) Accumulate Year End Savings Forego OPEB Contribution for FY20 Current 1 st Quarter Health Insurance costs reflect an increase in 16 high claim employees for BOE/Town from FY19. According to the Bi-partisan ECS Formula, EH was slated to receive an additional $2.2M additional funding as Alliance ECS dollars. Based on the uncertain nature of this funding, $1.5M were included in this budget proposal. As in previous years, EHPS enacted a budget freeze (11/2) on all hiring/operational spending in an effort to accumulate a year end fund balance and provide the opportunity to mitigate costs. The current proposal reflects a $1.67M contribution for OPEB. Further investigate current claims, plan structure and stop loss credits to identify if current projection can be further refined. EHPS will use any additional Alliance funding to mitigate the current increase that this budget proposal represents. This mitigation plan will need SDE approval as a part of the Alliance plan. Year end savings will be used to pre-pay Johnson Debt Control, re-supply health insurance reserves and fund the 1% Capital reserve account. Following a strategy enacted in FY19, payments to the OPEB reserve would be moved to close the Health Benefit deficit. This would require council approval for FY20. This strategy would reduce the current budget increase to 1.8%. Most recent claims reviews further support current projection for FY19 and suggest little relief from costs for FY20. Based on current uncertainties in state political leadership and budget deficit, the status of this projected formula phase-in must be monitored over the next 6 months. Year end savings are contingent on budget implementation and subject to unforeseen costs. In addition, based on the deficit status of health benefits, there may be little opportunity to develop a year end balance. If enacted, this would be the second year of foregoing the OPEB obligation.

29 ELEMENTARY K-5 01 Program Level(s) Program Code PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Elementary Program begins with Kindergarten. It represents a critical step in the elementary educational process especially for children who do not attend quality preschool programs, and have not been exposed to school readiness skills. A child's physical, emotional, intellectual and social needs provide the foundation for the Kindergarten Program. Social skills, self-regulation skills, consideration for the rights of others, and cooperation are developed through independent and cooperative group activities. Children gain critical foundational knowledge to prompt their intellectual and academic growth - broadening their interests, improving their basic skills, learning problem-solving techniques and developing oral language skills and vocabulary. The Elementary Program, grades K-5, is described in more detail in each of the content area program descriptions that begin on the following pages with English/Language Arts, Program Code 02. The Elementary Program accounts reflect the salary and benefits costs for teachers and the instructional resources costs for classroom items, such as text books, classroom leveled readers and supplies, to support all elementary educational programs, Kindergarten through Grade 5, across district schools. The instructional supply account reflects the funds requested by each school to purchase the language arts, mathematics, and science materials used in the classrooms. These materials provide students with the opportunity to learn through experiential tasks and develop a deeper understanding of the world around them. To determine the textbook needs, each school identifies replacement needs in the areas of language arts and reading, mathematics, science, and social studies. Textbooks funds will be used to purchase replacement texts as needed by each elementary school. Additionally, costs for new textbook adoption needs in response to the revision of curriculum in alignment with Connecticut Core State Standards (CCSS) for all subject areas are reflected in budget requests. RATIONALE FOR THE BOARD OF EDUCATION'S PROPOSED BUDGET INCREASE or DECREASE: Object Line reflects a shift in funding of Kindergarten Teachers, (13.00) FTE's, from the general budget to new, anticipated state Alliance Grants funds.

31 ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS K Program Level(s) Program Code PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Students study English/Language Arts in order to become proficient listeners, speakers, readers, writers, and viewers. During their course of study in grades, K-12 students practice listening to others and evaluating what they hear. They read and respond orally and in writing to literature and non-fiction text in all genres and forms. Students write to tell stories, explain, understand, or to persuade and present an argument. Students learn to speak in formal and informal settings to communicate with others. Additionally, students practice the art of critically viewing, creating and responding to various multi-media presentations. Elementary (K-5): The Elementary Language Arts Curriculum is revised to be in alignment with the Connecticut Core State Standards (CCSS). The curriculum, a living and working document, is standards-based and reflects the expectations that students at the elementary level will need to demonstrate in elementary school and beyond, to be college and career ready by the time they graduate high school. The curriculum emphasizes reading, speaking, process writing, listening, viewing, and using conventions of standard English to ensure that students master the ability to communicate effectively, both orally and in written forms, in a variety of situations and for a variety of purposes. Middle School (6-8): The Middle School English courses are literature and writing based. Writing instruction is taught through a workshop format and is supplemented through the reading of anchor text materials. The study of literature includes the exploration of a variety of literary genres and forms and emphasizes the construction of meaning through text and other media. The program stresses interdisciplinary connections between English and the other content areas. English/Language Arts curriculum documents include high-leverage CT Core Standards and reflect the essential knowledge that each student must acquire at each grade level. High School (9-12): The grade 9 and 10 English courses emphasize reading, writing, listening, speaking, and viewing through the study of literature from many parts of the world and the United States. Course content and sequence are often connected to the ninth and tenth grade social studies courses through the implementation of many multidisciplinary units. The grade 11 English courses concentrates on United States literature written after the Civil War, and Grade 12 English focuses on World literature and literary non-fiction. Instruction in strategic reading, writing, and study skills is an integral part of all courses including grade 11 and 12 elective courses, which make use of available technology and prepare students for success on the SAT. Advanced Placement courses are offered to students in all core subject areas. English/Language Arts curriculum documents include high-leverage standards to ensure that students graduate with the essential knowledge and skills articulated in the CT Core Standards. RATIONALE FOR THE BOARD OF EDUCATION'S PROPOSED BUDGET INCREASE or DECREASE: Object Line / are a result of contractual salary increases. Other Object Lines reflect current services. 9
