Acknowledgements

The development of the Waterford Public Schools Fiscal Plan for 2023-24 is a substantial leadership responsibility. We know from best practice that quality is achieved through the involvement of many people. The Waterford Public Schools Budget is consistent with and supportive of the Board of Education goals. Input was provided by district administrators, schools administrators, teachers, staff, and Board members. All are to be commended in balancing the needs of all students and our local taxpayers.

I also wish to acknowledge the efforts and hard work of our support staff that helped to prepare the document and data to serve as an informative decision-making tool. Special recognition goes to Karen Kopec, Accounting Supervisor, Caroline Whittaker, Executive Secretary to the Superintendent, and Teressa Reese, Executive Secretary to Assistant Superintendent of Schools.

2023-2024 BUDGET INTRODUCTION

Mission of the Waterford Public Schools

Dear Waterford Board of Education Members, Elected Officials, and Community Members:

The theme I continue to reiterate in about every setting I am in is that the needs created by the pandemic do not end with the pandemic. I recently wrote an op-ed for The Day newspaper on this very topic which I have included in the budget book. Our students and staff continue to face veryreal challenges each day as we attempt to move forward. We continue to see a higher prevalence of anxiety, depression, grief, and social isolation in our students. Related to this, we continue to see higher rates of absenteeism that have yet to subside. We have more students in academic intervention services than ever before. With this said, I am very proud of our team for continuing to meet these challenges head-on. We continue to be responsive and innovative. I am also very proud of our students as they have experienced something none of us can say that we did; going to school during a global pandemic.

Our district has launched a new three-year Strategic Plan continuing the work of the previous plan but also responding to the world in which we live in today. The new Strategic Plan, in alignment with Board of Education goals, builds upon our commitment to providing equitable opportunities and outcomes for our students. Our district continues to change rapidly with our English Language Learners population tripling in the last five years. Over 17 languages are spoken in our schools and town each day.

Unfunded government mandates such as new elementary reading programs and new legislation mandating air quality testing in schools impact our budget. COVID-relief grants from the state and federal governments are winding down which also impact our bottom line as we continue to provide services to students who significantly lag behind pre-pandemic peers in the areas of academics, social and emotional well-being, and mental health. This budget, combined with the remaining COVID-relief funds, will allow us to meet the continuing academic and behavioral health needs of our students.

We vigilantly analyze our needs and re-allocate resources before asking for more; effectively negotiate employment contracts; and focus our energy and resources on high-leverage, research-based strategies. We continue our commitment to the health, safety, and wellness of our students, families, and staff.

This proposal preserves reasonable class sizes even with the elimination of another two (2) teaching positions at Waterford High School due to enrollment. You may recall that FY 23 saw the elimination of four (4) teaching positions at Waterford High School. Since FY 16, we have eliminated twelve (12) academic teaching positions at both Clark Lane Middle School and Waterford High School as our district enrollment has decreased. Despite energy prices rising yet again, the comprehensive district-wide energy project from a year ago helps to mitigate what would have been an even larger increase.

The economic conditions have changed since a year ago as well. Inflation is a real factor affecting everything from commodities pricing, to goods and services, energy, healthcare and wages.

This proposal continues current course offerings and curricular programs, but does see the loss of services to students with the elimination of the talented and gifted enrichment program during school hours. Some additional money for after-school enrichment opportunities is included. Our district supports a strong extracurricular program, and an investment in professional development and curriculum renewal in order to maintain and advance the quality of programs and teaching.

The narrative of the FY24 Budget starts and ends with major cost drivers impacting the increase. Outside of the major cost drivers, this is a negative budget seeing a year-over-year decrease.

Major Cost Drivers Summary:

Everything else in our entire budget is a negative percentage ( 0.11 % ) year-over-year. This means in our FY24 budget, for all of these other lines, we are budgeting $57,000 less than we did a year ago despite the prices of nearly everything increasing.

Our Leadership Team examined our Board-approved budget assumptions; Board Goals; our District Strategic Plan; School Growth Plans; enrollment projections; current programs; initiatives; staff assignments; and supply and equipment needs that support our mission, vision, priorities, and instructional focus. All budget requests from building and department leaders were reviewed and scrutinized by me and the Central Office Team. As is the case every year, requests were prioritized to meet students’ needs. Reductions from initial requests were a collaborative approach and were considered based on strategic priorities.

It is important to note that over the eight years of budget development during my tenure, we have worked to align our budget

with actual past expenses and historical trends. It is also important to note that the last ten years of Waterford Board of Education budget increases have averaged 1.9%.

This budget invests in continued improvement and is intended to promote growth and achievement, while meeting the challenges the pandemic has forced us to face. This budget will meet all of the Board’s statutory obligations and mandates with the goal of not compromising rigor in the classroom, supporting the social and emotional learning of students, promoting continued high quality teaching through embedded professional learning, all the while maintaining high expectations for all of our students.

Conclusion

I would like to acknowledge the hard work of our team; including our principals, department heads, directors and supervisors, business office and central office staff, and our faculty. I particularly want to recognize the efforts of Joe Mancini, Director of Finance and Operations; Craig Powers, Assistant Superintendent; and Gina Wygonik, Director of Special Services who have spent many hours over the last several months assisting in the development of this budget.

The Waterford Public Schools continues to be an exceptional school district in so many ways. We appreciate the community’s support that allows the Board of Education to sustain the outstanding academic, co-curricular, and athletic programs that ensure that all Waterford students receive a high quality education. The team and I stand prepared to assist you in your deliberations related to this proposed budget.

Sincerely,

Thomas W. Giard III Superintendent of Schools

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Health Insurance

• Qualified employees of the Waterford Board of Education are entitled to receive Medical & Dental Insurance. Waterford’s Health Insurance is a self-insured plan administered by Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield. The self-insured plan covers the first $175,000 per person per year, with any amount in excess being covered by Stop-Loss Insurance.

Life Insurance

• This includes costs associated with coverage as negotiated in several union contracts.

FICA

• As an employer, we are obligated to match our employees’ deductions for social security. Most support personnel are required to contribute to this fund based on their number of scheduled hours. Also, we are required to contribute the Medicare portion (1.45%) on all new certified personnel hired since 1986.

Reimbursements

• This includes contractual obligations for tuition reimbursement and maintenance/custodian shoe allowance.

• Tuition reimbursement under the teacher’s contract is set at $95,000. The remaining amount is for contractual obligations for various support staff bargaining units.

Unemployment Compensation

$9,293,900

• We are required to contribute to the unemployment compensation of eligible former employees who earned wages from WaterfordPublic Schoolsduringa specified benefit period.

Workers’ Compensation

• According to State statute, we must maintain workers’ compensation coverage in the event an employee is injured while on the job. Coverage is provided by CIRMA (Connecticut Inter-local Risk Management Agency) and premiums are based on rates per job category and claim history.

Unused Sick Leave

• This is the contractual obligation for the payment of unused sick leave upon retirement. The projection is based upon notifications from teachers of a pending retirement for the next school year. While many senior employees still retain this benefit, contract negotiations have achieved reduced benefits for mid-career employees and have eliminated this benefit for new hires.

Retirement Incentive

• The amount budgeted is the payment due for those employees who retire. The projection is based on retirement notifications received per contractual obligations prior to December 1st .

COMMUNICATIONS

Communications

$99,720

• This category contains costs associated with various forms of communications. In FY24 it is anticipated this line will be funded 50% by the E-rate* program. The E-rate program funds Wi-Fi equipment, Fiber and Internet to the classrooms. Our district‐wide network connects each school to Town Hall and is the conduit that runs our phones, television, internet, data, security alarms (lockdown, fire, and burglar), and electronic door access for each of the schools. These robust Fiber optic connections have greatly reduced annual expenses (i.e., phones and internet). E-rate fully supports the WPS networking model and will continue to provide maximum funding for eligible items. In FY24 E-rate will fund the following amounts for fiber maintenance fees ($8,850) and internet service for the district ($7,020). In 2016, the State of CT cut funding for Internet services to all public schools (a previously free service). It is anticipated that E-rate will fund $15,870 in FY24, which includes 50% of mentioned communication items. The district remains committed to finding creative ways to save money on communications, for fiscal 2024 we’ve lowered the monthly expenditure for the fiber network to align our allotment with our usage.

• In FY23 Waterford changed cell phone providers from Verizon Wireless to T-Mobile after comparing rates and offerings from multiple cell phone carriers. This effort will save roughly $1,800 annually while providing the users with new features like Wi-Fi hotspots and unlimited voice and data.

Postage

• This is the total cost of postage for Waterford Public Schools. This line is being increases from prior years as there will be a larger effort in FY2024 to recruit out of district students to the Waterford High School.

Advertising

• Covers the cost of classified ads for personnel vacancies and legal notices. Electronic media is used whenever it is effective and efficient and only doing print advertisement when it is required by legal mandate or is the best option.

*The universal service Schools and Libraries Program, commonly known as “E-rate”, provides discounts to help eligible schools and libraries in the United States obtain affordable telecommunications and internet access. The program is intended to ensure that schools and libraries have access to affordable telecommunications and information services.

OPERATION & MAINTENANCE OF BUILDINGS

Fuel Oil

• For Fiscal Year 2024, the Waterford Board of Education will only be using fuel oil for generator use at four of our schools. Clark Lane Middle School does not have a generator. The estimated price for fuel oil for 2023-2024 is $4.00 per gallon.

Electricity

• For Fiscal Year 2023, Electrical Generation is 0.0919. During the Fiscal Year 2022, an energy efficiency project was completed. It is expected to reduce usage by 26.5%, but is accompanied by costs of $241,536 per year for the next 4 years to pay off the equipment costs. The increased request is based on increasing transmission costs from the utility provider.

Natural Gas

• Clark Lane Middle School has been using natural gas as ofwinter 2018.

• The high school will continue to heat the pool area, auditorium, and gymnasium with natural gas.

• Quaker Hill Elementary School uses natural gas primarily in the cafeteria.

Propane

• Propane is used in all cafeterias to heat hot water and in the front office at Great Neck and Oswegatchie Elementary Schools.

Water

• The cost of water is based on usage and a fee that is based on the size (diameter) of the pipe.

Sewer

$2,516,685

• The cost of sewer is based on a fixed monthly fee as well as a fee for water consumption and usage.

Maintenance and Repair

• There are several accounts in this category, all pertaining to the cost of contracting maintenance services such as security monitoring, alarm system (burglary, refrigerators, sewer, boiler) specialized electrical, heating and plumbing, roof repairs, floor machines, inspections, service contracts, snow removal, vehicle maintenance, and fire extinguishers.

Maintenance Equipment

• Tools and equipment with a unit cost excess of $500 and having a life expectancy of more than one year will be charged to this account to allow for better tracking of expenses.

Maintenance Supplies

• In order to monitor and track maintenance expenses more closely, this account has been subdivided into several specific accounts. The new account structure includes individual accounts for electrical supplies, air filters, and plumbing supplies. These are in addition to vehicle, custodial, paint, pool, and general supply accounts. The budgets for these categories cover the costs of cleaning, preventive maintenance, and repairs for the district. Supplies for cleaning are consumables products. Supplies for maintenance are used for preventive maintenance and repairs which are done by Waterford Public School’s personnel labor. Supplies for the pool include special cleaning products for the pool deck, pool chemicals, and maintenance of the chemical controller.

Textbooks

• In the 2023-24 school year, the district will have completed a full curriculum renewal for English Language Art (K-5), and Family Consumer Sciences (6-12). During the 2023-24 school year, the following curricular areas will be in process: Math (PK-5), Art (PK-12), Business & Finance Technology (6-12), and Technology Education (6-12).

• District funds are used during the curriculum renewal cycle, which is updated each year depending on district needs.

• Textbook funds at the school level are used for replacing worn out texts or purchasing additional copies of texts due to increases in class enrollment. There has been additional funding added to cover textbooks and materials to support the PK-3 state mandated reading program that is required to be implemented in the 2023-2024 SY. This is an unfunded government program that is mandated for all districts.

READING THE BUDGET

Account Structure

The chart of accounts is structured as required by the state and federal governments for specific reporting purposes. Consequently, a 24-digit account number with its various reporting combinations becomes confusing at times. In an effort to simplify references to a specific account number, the chart of accounts has been restructured to include a “short account” number. The five digits of each account after the three digit Fund Account is the “short account” which specifically references that account. For example, #09020, refers to regular transportation and that account only, eliminating the need to refer to several numbers to reference one account. Each sub account category is differentiated as follows:

OF ACCOUNTS – CODING SYSTEM

Budget Format

The budget format presents the information by object in summary and detail. The Executive Summary is the summarized version followed by a detailed budget totaled by object. The format has been revised as requested by the Board of Finance to align information in one format.

Consider the following factors when you are comparing budgets from year to year.

• Budget amounts do not reflect budget transfers during the year required to meet needs at that time.

• Some purchases are intermittent, i.e., repairs, program supplies and semester courses.
