Town celebrates completion of Berlin High School renovation By Jesse Buchanan Record-Journal staff
| Ashley Kus, The Berlin Citizen
Choice districts face state cuts
Town and state officials thanked supporters and volunteers at a ceremony Saturday for the newly renovated Berlin High School. Parents, students and officials got a tour of the recently completed school after music and speeches in the auditorium. Town leaders credited the state legislative delegation, in particular state Rep. Joe Aresimowicz, a Democrat and House Speaker, with providing state funding. Former Berlin mayor Adam Salina said the town ran into a funding shortfall on the $70 million project.

Despite a snowstorm the day before, Berlin High School senior Izayah Bailey drove from Hartford ready to start his Friday, which included basketball practice after school. “I’ve been playing all my life,” the Hartford resident said. “It’s a way to take my mind off things.” The 17-year-old varsity point guard joined the basketball team when he started as an Open Choice student at McGee Middle School. “Ever since the first day, that’s when I made a few of my close friends that I’m still close with See Choice, A3

The auditorium and music rooms were completed last year. High school principal Francis Kennedy said the new building is also outfitted with a wireless network and other new technology.

to this day,” he said. The Open Choice Program, formerly Project Concern, began in 1966 as a way to integrate schools. The Capitol Region Education Council program now has 27 participating suburban districts, including Berlin, Southington and Plainville.
cuts, however, some schools are seeing a big decrease in the grant they have come to rely on. Grants to Berlin and Plainville recently were cut by more than 50 percent. “It’s forcing us to make some pretty big adjustments,” said Plainville schools’ Superintendent Maureen Brummett.
Over 2,000 students are enrolled in the program, including suburban students who attend school in Hartford.
Plainville has 115 Open Choice students enrolled. The district joined the program two years after it began in 1968.
The Hartford-based program is the largest in the state; there are two smaller ones in the New Haven and New London areas.
Brummett said while enrollment likely won’t suffer due to the cuts, there will be changes in academic and social programs.
“They end up having a lifetime of achievement,” said Debra Borrero, division director. “They integrate better into careers.”
The grant funded paraprofessionals and tutors to help students succeed. An enrichment teacher, who helped at-risk students, will be cut next year. In a 2014 CREC video about Plainville’s program, one Open Choice student said the extra help raised his F’s to straight B’s by the next semester.
The Academic and Social Support Grant funds after school and tutoring programs. With the latest state
Brummett said officials are working on a substitute program for students that need academic assistance.
“The coaches we have are great,” he said. “A lot of their message isn’t just basketball — it’s about being better people in the future.”
He said the decrease in funding potentially reduces the possibility of after-school programming for Open Choice students.
Bailey started in the Open Choice program as a second-grader at the Richard J. Kinsella Magnet School for the Performing Arts in Hartford. He picked Berlin from a list of local suburban schools and started in his last year of middle school.
Berlin was forced to eliminate its after-school wellness program at the middle school and another at the elementary schools. The high school after school programs were kept with emphasis on academic components. Paraprofessionals were reduced, as well as hours available to assist students. “The social piece is important for students,” said Berlin Assistant Superintendent Brian Benigni. “Some students reside in Hartford, some reside in Berlin, but they’re all Berlin students.” For Bailey, being on the team is about more than basketball.

Bailey’s younger brother attends a middle school in West Hartford. His older brother graduated from Berlin High School last year.
Currently, West Hartford has the most Open Choice students, 194, due to its proximity to Hartford.

COMMENTARY
It’s budget season; stay informed Campanelli: By Dave Evans
The Berlin town budget process provides a unique insight into how our taxes pay for education, and town services we enjoy. On March 1, the Town Manager will present to the Town Council the Board of Education, Police Commission, and town budget for our consideration. In addition, to the town wide budget hearing on Tuesday, March 28 in the new Berlin High School auditorium, citizens can learn directly from the boards, commissions, and department heads their needs for the budget during budget sessions that are scheduled to occur in March. I especially invite those interested in running for the Board of Finance this year to attend these budget sessions. Most will be held in the BOE Meeting Room. The current schedule, including what function will be reviewed, is as follows: Wednesday, March 1, 6 to 8 p.m. Revenues, Debt Service, Transfers, Town wide and related School Expenses, Finance, and Golf. Thursday, March 2, 6 to 8 p.m. Board of Education, School Expenses, Town Garage, and Fire. Wednesday, March 8, 6 to 8 p.m.
- Public Works, Highway, Public Building, School Expenses, Water & Sewer. Thursday, March 9, 6 to 8 p.m. - Police, Crossing Guards, Community Services, Recreation, and Public Grounds. Tuesday, March 14, 6 to 8 p.m. - Veterans Commission, Developmental Services, Planning & Zoning, Zoning Board of Appeals, Conservation Commission, Economic Development, Library, Nursing, Homemaking Services, Private Schools, School Expenses, and Town Clerk. Wednesday, March 15, 6 p.m. Work session. Thursday, March 16 (Council Chambers), 6 p.m. - Finalize Budget, and 7 p.m. Town Council meeting to vote to send budget to town hearing. Last year after starting with a possible 10.5 percent tax increase we ended up down by 9 percent, near 1.5 percent, passed by the voters of Berlin in one of the largest referendum turnouts due to the presidential primary (2,238 “yes” and 1,705 “no”). This 1.5 percent increase was driven primarily by approximately a $1 million increase in
debt payments including the high school and additional amounts due to contractual wage increases. As was done last year (see http:// tinyurl.com/hyjuxb9) for the first time, a dashboard will be used again this year to help the Town Council drive to the right numbers for our town. This year will be even more difficult than last as debt payment for mostly the high school, fire trucks, and other items will increase these obligated debt payments, this time by another $1.1 million and pension obligations that could add another $700,000, let alone wage and step increases that could top $1.3 million which will make it very difficult to cover this $3.1 million increase, or more, by the use of a grand list growth of only 0.8 percent (worth only approximately $575,000). Further reductions in funding from the state announced by the governor will further decimate revenue in our budget. All this will lead to what I believe to be the most difficult year the State Legislature and Berlin Town Council has ever had to face. Looking forward to seeing you at the sessions and hearing The writer is the Berlin Town Council’s Budget Chairman.
Town stuck in partisan rut Current councilwoman and community activist Kristin Campanelli announced Friday, Feb. 3 that she has formed an exploratory committee for the mayoral election this November. A former member of Berlin’s Board of Education, Campanelli has served on the Berlin Town Council since 2015. “There are so many opportunities for Berlin to thrive, but we are currently stuck in a rut of partisanship that is not allowing our town to reach our full potential,” Campanelli said. “I love Berlin and I want it to be successful, because when the town is more successful it’s the residents who reap the benefits. I pledge to work across party lines and bridge the political divide to put Berlin’s interests first.” Campanelli stated that forming the committee is just the first step in gauging public support and listening to the concerns of the voters and the direction they would like to see the town to go. “I’ve already begun the process of speaking with voters both door to door and at local events to hear what is important to them and sharing my belief in Berlin and the positive changes that I See Campanelli, A11
Letters to the Editor Man of integrity To the editor: Over the past year, several changes have been made to Berlin’s charter and at Town Hall. Not everyone has agreed with these changes. In some cases, this disagreement has appeared via letters to this newspaper in the form of strongly-worded language aimed at Mayor Mark Kaczynski. These comments question his integrity in helping to guide these changes. I have known Mayor Kaczynski for over 50 years. On many occasions our political views clash. However, I can state with confidence that when decisions are
made he has only the best interests of the Town of Berlin. Anyone knowing him either personally or professionally is aware that he conducts himself with the highest level of integrity. Stating otherwise is not to know the man.
Town Charter for termination of the town manager.
Some questions
Kaczynski can demonstrate transparency owed to Berlin voters by answering the following questions:
The town manager was not terminated for cause. Republican Council members admitted that McNair was doing a great job. The real question is whether Thomas Gaudette Kaczynski and his fellow ReKensington publicans forced McNair out.
To the editor: Republican Mayor Mark Kaczynski, in the Feb. 2 edition of The Citizen, insisted that Town Manager Denise McNair was not fired, but “voluntarily resigned.” His evidence for this assertion is that the Town Council did not use the provisions in the
Did McNair contact the mayor to offer him her resignation, or did he first approach the town manager about resigning? If the town manager “voluntarily resigned,” why was there a need for a separa-
tion agreement that pays her six months salary and three years of insurance benefits?
the town to a “higher level”?
Did Kaczynski try to encourage McNair to stay Do all department leaders through the remainder of who voluntarily resign get the fiscal year to allow for a salary and benefit packages smooth transition and not upon resignation?

>> Campanelli In addition to speaking with voters, Campanelli is meeting with civic groups, small businesses, and community organizations. “I’ve learned that we just can’t accept the sound bites and political rhetoric anymore. People are tired of empty promises and want to see action on the things that impact their lives; like jobs, the economy, taxes, schools, and retiring with security. If we work together toward our common goals there is a lot that we can accomplish,” Campanelli said. Campanelli is committed to transparency of government and to working to lower taxes. “I am committed to a more sustainable way of life for everyone in town, from Berlin taxpayers, to Berlin businesses and Berlin town staff. I am committed to bringing business to Berlin and growing our tax base in order to lower taxes for all while making Berlin Town Hall more efficient,” Campanelli said. As well as serving on the Town Council, Campanelli recently helped to organize

Her 90-year-old caretaker had to give her up. Princess is truly a rescue cat in need and will be very grateful for a forever, loving home. For more information, call 860-828-5287 or visit www.fobac.org or an online application.
Jesse (above left) is a lovely, semi-feral cat who gave us three adorable kittens. She is searching for a rescue home that will continue to work with her. She would also be happy living in a barn community. Jesse is peaceful and independent. Tommy is a natural born greeter. He is fearless and loves people and is good with dogs and other cats. He is severely allergic to fleas. A strictly indoor home will solve this issue for him. Join us Sunday, Feb. 19, 1 to 3 p.m., at PetSmart, 278 New Britain Road, Plainville, for an adoption event.
