<br /> Tonight's meeting was held to discuss the FY02 budget with the School Councils and the School
<br /> Committee.
<br /> After Mrs. Mills described the process used for budget presentation, Mr. Fluery noted that with `fully
<br /> loaded' (all requests made by the administrators included) the FY02 budget request totals $16,681,000

<br /> Brown, Assistant Principal Steve Babbitt, Brian Hyde, Robin Nickerson, Kyle Hunt, John Merrifield,
<br /> Shelley B uthillette,Dr. Elizabeth Pati, and Cheryl MacIntire.
<br /> In his presentation, Mr. Brown said the requested increases are primarily based upon the ever-growing high
<br /> school population. In grades -12, a projection of an additional 71 students is expected with most of the
<br /> impact occurring in Grades 11 and 12.
<br /> The Council supports a class size of 25 stridents or less in all secondary classes. Therefore, the Council
<br /> requests the following positions based upon enrollments: 1.0 FTE Mathematics teacher, 1.0 FTE Science
<br /> teacher, 0.6 FTE Social Studies teacher, 1.2 FTE Spanish teacher, 0.4 FTE Latin teacher, 0.1 FTE Art
<br /> teacher, 0.5 FTE Business Computer teacher, 1.0 FTE Special Education teacher, and 1.0 FTE Media
<br /> Specialist.

<br /> support personnel positions; 0.5 FTE Nursing Assistant, 0.4 FTE Receptionist, 1.0 FTE Library Assistant,
<br /> and 1.0 FTE Special Education Teaching Assistant. The new programs requested were an Alternative
<br /> Education Program, 1.0 FTE Student Assistance Counselor, 1.0 FTE MCAS Ramp-Up Teacher for Grades
<br /> 7-8,and 1.0 FTE Permanent Substitute Teacher.
<br /> Discussion followed on department chairs as well as making the Grade 7-8 MCAS Ramp-Up teacher a top
<br /> priority. Also mentioned was an additional $2,000 for intramurals', newspaper advisor, etc. Mr. Brown
<br /> noted that lunch cycles for 1,000 students are a concern for next year.
<br /> The Quashnet School Council was next to present their budget requests. Representing the Quashnet
<br /> School Council were Principal Robert Tippo, Assistant Principal Marianne Mona i, Jeanne Cannon,
<br /> Robin Leggatt, and Vicky Felly. Mr. Tippo presented the Capital Improvement requests especially the
<br /> sidewalk and curbing in front of the school as being a safety issue.
<br /> Because the Quashn t School is the voting location, emergency shelter and Town Meting location,repairs
<br /> to the sidewalk and curbing is essential.
