The total investment of $201,770,255 represents a 5.6% increase over the current fiscal year. More than 7,200 students attend CPS schools and our enrollment continues to rise. This budget proposal includes the resources to respond to enrollment growth and to make additional investments to support the continued implementation of the 2017-2020 District Plan. The five strategic objectives identified as part of the District Plan guide our on-going work and support our shared vision of rigorous, joyful and culturally responsive learning and personalized support so that every student can achieve postsecondary success as engaged community members: Equity and Access: Provide equity and access to increase opportunity and achievement. Engaging Learning: Provide engaged learning for students and staff to strengthen instruction for all types of learners. Whole Child: Support the whole child as an individual. Partnership: Expand and strengthen family partnerships and community partnerships. Improvement: Improve implementation and progress monitoring. Each year as we develop the upcoming year’s budget, we hear from many stakeholders in the CPS community. In collaboration with the School Committee, we establish a schedule of meetings and public hearings to gather input from committee members and members of the CPS community and to share important information about emerging priorities. We work closely with our principals and administrators to understand the needs and priorities of schools. Through this process, elementary staffing and support for our youngest students emerged as a particular focus of our budget development for FY 2020. In crafting this budget proposal, we continued our work in aligning resources to support the implementation of the District Plan, using the District Plan Strategic Objectives and Initiatives as a framework for analyzing and prioritizing budget proposals. We are fortunate to have the financial resources to make new and expanded investments in several key initiatives. These are highlighted below, organized by strategic objective, although they may span multiple objectives. Equity and Access Upper School Interventionists: The Upper School Enhanced Math program, initiated in SY 2018-19, focuses on creating equitable learning communities that provide all students with access to challenging curriculum and personalized support. Additional math interventionists will support the program expansion to 8th grade. Expansion of Equity and Dynamic Diversity Development Initiatives: The district will build on its ongoing work in creating an anti-racist, multicultural
