Over the past three years the schools have lost 7.2 <br /> teaching FTEs. Class sizes remain practicable with the exception of early <br /> elementary and some high school college prep classes. Again,there is concern <br /> regarding the quality of individualized attention students may receive within some <br /> classes. <br /> • Special education represents 29%of the FY14 district budget,among the highest in <br /> DART-defined like districts. <br /> • The cost of out of district placements have increased significantly in the past four <br /> years (FY10 +30%,FY11 +10%,FY 12 +13%,FY13 +10%). These tuitions and out- <br /> of-district transportation remain significant and unpredictable expenses. <br /> • The high school and middle school have implemented a behavioral program for <br /> students with substantial social and emotional needs.This program is currently <br /> being monitored for academic and fiscal effectiveness. <br /> • Through constant monitoring of MPSD's energy use,the superintendent, School <br /> Committee Chair,and Facility and DPW Directors continue to pursue savings for the <br /> town's electricity and fuel costs. <br /> • Cooperative purchasing with the towns'municipal departments for cost savings in <br /> such areas such as police support,informational technology services,and recreation <br /> department programs are still in the exploratory phases, Partnerships to improve <br /> programming for students and staff are presently being explored with Bridgewater <br /> State University,Cape Cod Community College,Cape Cod Technical Regional High <br /> School,and Cape Cod Collaborative. These new relationships have resulted from the <br /> work of Multi-Board Meetings. <br /> 14 <br /> i <br /> 3 <br />
