At this time, Mr. Lovely noted that Mary Konecny, who had served as the Superintendent’s and Board’s assistant for the past 12 years, has assumed the Human Resources Specialist position replacing Celeste Jardim. He complemented and thanked Mary for her dedication, kind demeanor and unparalleled service to the Board.

Agenda Item III — Consent Agenda A. Approval/Minutes — Regular Meeting —8/17/10By unanimous consent of members present at that meeting, the minutes were approved as presented. At this time, it was moved (Wright) seconded (Labella) to take Agenda Item V-B—Approval/Hillcrest Pool Upgrades Grant out of order. Vote: Unanimous in favor.
Agenda Item V — New Business (out of order) B. HillcrestApprovaL Pool Upgrades Grant—Mr. lassogna noted that the Town secured a grant for approximately $375,000 to be used for upgrades to the pooi and that Board approval was desired to move the1 grant forward. Chad Ciocci, member of the Town Council and its Education Subcommittee, reviewed the study of the Hillcrest pooi commissioned by the committee. He noted the findings on the physical conditions, use and operations, authority over usage, and recommendations. Mr. Nelson reviewed the grant, which is to be used for improvements and safety upgrades for the pool with specific emphasis on lighting, ceiling and pooi filtration. Also noted was the State of Connecticut requirement to open the use of the pool to non-residents if the Town accepts the grant money. Discussion ensued, the focal point of which was the Hillcrest Pool Use and Operation Report distributed to the Board that evening (Amended Final Draft Report attached). It was noted that this evening was the first time the Board and Superintendent heard of the Town seeking control over pool usage, possibly hiring an aquatics director, and non-resident use. Mr. Lovely and Mr. lassogna noted that the pool is used for special education classes and the high school swim teams. Concerns were raised on the following: jurisdiction over pooi usage during the school day, responsibility for non-resident use, and safety concerns. While the Board was not opposed to accepting this grant money, they asked for clarification of who controls and is responsible for pool usage, especially during the school day, since the pooi is part of a school building. The Board also requested a legal opinion as to Board responsibility before moving forward with approval of this grant.
It was moved (Labella) seconded (Wright) to take Agenda Item IV-C CAPT Report out of order. Vote: Unanimous in favor.
Agenda Item IV — Reports (Out of Order) C. CAPT Report—Dr. Tremaglio noted that he was very pleased to present the results of the 2009-10 CAPT Test Results as they showed overall growth in all areas and were the highest in the last 5 years, with DRG comparisons reflecting even greater growth. Dr. Paslov presented a PowerPoint on results noting that improvement was due to the joint efforts of Department Chairs such as: introduction of Plato Learning remediation program, development of a writing guide, writing across the discipline tasks, SRBI and Tier II and III interventions, and incorporating CAPT-like activities into the curriculum. Dr. Tremaglio praised Department Chairs for their efforts and success of the improvements in CAPT scores and also took this opportunity to give the Board a brief overview of Link Crew, an orientation program which connects incoming graders to an upperclassman so that 9th graders have a go-to student during their freshman year. He noted that Link Crew has been very well received by the students and their parents.
At this time, Mr. Lovely and several Board members praised Dr. Bob and THS Department Chairs for their many efforts in contributing to the significant growth in CAPT testing scores and expressed their thanks for a job well done.
It was moved (Wright) seconded (Herbst) to take Agenda Item IV-B out of order. Vote: Unanimous in favor.
Agenda Item IV — Reports (Out of Ordeñ B. Connecticut Mastery Test Report—Dr. Paslov gave a PowerPoint presentation of the results of the 2009- 10 Connecticut Mastery Test (CMT), which reflected that students in grades 3 — 8 continue to perform very well. Dr. Paslov reviewed programs to improve scores including Fundations, meaningful writing, reading, and SRBI, Tier II and Tier III inventions. A discussion ensued including grade level trends,
2 cohort gains, vertical scale scores, Trumbull’s relative DRG B standing and reading comprehension strands. Mr. lassogna praised the elementary program leaders and middle school team leaders and instructional chairs for their efforts in being instrumental in the improvement of test scores.
It was moved (Wright) seconded (Labella) to take Agenda Item IV-D out of order. Vote: Unanimous in favor.
Agenda Item IV — Reports (Out of Order) D. Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) Update—Dr. Cialfi reviewed this report which is the result of the federal No Child Left Behind (NCLB) unfunded mandate and noted that for a district to achieve AYP, the criteria must be met for both the CMT and CAPT by all students and by each subgroup (major racial and ethnic groups, students in poverty, students with disabilities and English language learners). He noted criteria for the 2009-10 school year as follows: (1) 95 percent participation on both the mathematics and reading on the CMT and CAPT; (2) achievement of the AYP target of 82 percent at or above Proficient in mathematics and 79 percent at or above Proficient in reading on the CMI; (3) achievement of the AYP target of 80 percent at or above Proficient in mathematics and 81 percent at or above Proficient in reading on the CAPT; (4) 70 percent at or above Basic on the CMT writing component; and (5) 70 percent or above graduation rate at the high school level. Dr. Cialfi was very pleased to report that all district schools achieved AYP for 2009-10 and this achievement is a credit to the total school community.
Agenda Item IV — Reports A. Annual Report to the Board of Education!First Selectman—Mr. lassogna briefly reviewed his 2009-10 annual report, which will be forwarded to the First Selectman upon Board approval. He noted that the district had a very productive and enriching school year with continued growth and numerous accomplishments as students were provided with an array of programs to meet their ever diversified academic and social/emotional needs. Also noted was that each department has made visible strides to augment its operation and the CMI and CAPT scores reflect the enhancement of instructional programs. Mr. Wright noted that this report provides a wealth of information on the district that he would like shared with the public in a more condensed version. It was moved (Wright) seconded (Herbst) to accept the 2009-10 Annual Report of the Superintendent to be submitted to the First Selectman. Vote: Unanimous in favor.
E. School Opening/Enrollment-Staffing Update—Mr. lassogna reported that the 2010-11 school year got off to a good start, particularly noting that Trumbull High was ready for opening day despite being in the middle of the THS Renovate As New Project. Also discussed was the opening days’ heat wave and early dismissal decision for Hurricane Earl which was strongly suggested by the Town’s Emergency Management Team. He noted at this time, the district is 33 students above projections, although 98 students less than 2009-10. Mr. Jassogna also reported that a .5 teacher has been hired for the Tashua 4th grade (76 students) and are closely watching enrollment for the grade at Middlebrook.
F. Federal Education Jobs Bill—Mr. lassogna noted that at this time, the Trumbull Public Schools expect to receive approximately $177,000. He reported that while specific details on acquiring and utilizing these funds have not been finalized, it is understood that these monies are specifically earmarked to save teaching and related jobs that directly affect students. Mr. Tassognaalso noted that these monies can be utilized in this school year (2010-11), deferred until the 2011-12 school year, or possibly carried over to the beginning of 2012-13, with his recommendation of using the monies for the 2011-12 budget. Discussion ensued and this item will be brought back to the Board when more specific information is available.
G. Town Charter Revision—Mr. Lovely reviewed the Charter Commission’s proposal on the composition and election of members to the Board of Education, including staggered terms, elimination of two-year
3 terms, and the increase from a 7 member Board to a 9 member Board. Discussion ensued including the number of members, length of term and staggering terms. First Selectman Herbst was present and asked to address the Board on this issue. Mr. Herbst noted that the Charter Commission would like to see a 9 member Board as the Board of Education is responsible for the largest part of the Town budget and there would be more oversight. Mr. Herbst also noted that he was not supportive of a 9 member Board of Education. Several Board members felt it was important to have staggered terms and noted also the importance of the quality of the people serving, not the quantity. Mr. lassogna was asked to share his opinion on this topic and he conveyed that he was not in favor of a 9 member Board. He believes that such would only be necessary if there were areas that have not been addressed due to lack of Board members, but this has not been the case as our Board of Education has done a superb job in meeting its duties and responsibilities. It appeared to be the consensus of the Board to support staggered terms and the proposed 4 year length of term, but would like more specificity regarding Board membership (from 7 to 9 members).
Agenda Item V — New Business A. Approval/Head Start Food Service Agreement—Mr. lassogna noted that each year the Board must approve this agreement to be in compliance with Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). It was moved (Wright) seconded (Herbst) to approve the Head Start Food Service Agreement as outlined. Vote: Unanimous in favor.
C. Leahy Report Discussion—This report to the Town of Trumbull was done by John Leahy, former financial director for Fairfield, who was asked by First Selectman Tim Herbst to review the Board of Education budgets for the years from 2006-07 through 2010-11 and make suggestions for the 2011-12 budget. Both Mr. Lovely and Mr. Jassogna communicated that the First Selectman requested that the Board table this item until Mr. Leahy could be present for the discussion. Discussion ensued including conducting the discussion without Mr. Leahy, and postponing the discussion until Mr. Leahy could be present to address concerns and21 inaccuracies in the report. Mr. Herbst was asked to contact Mr. Leahy and invite him to the September st meeting. Mr. Ward stated that he felt the report was clear and there was no need to have Mr. Leahy present for discussion. Mr. Kelly wanted to go on record saying the district has done a good job finding efficiencies and noted that Steve Kennedy has done a good job putting together the energy budget. Mrs. Labella noted that she had concerns with the report and felt the discussion should not be delayed as the Leahy Report had already been presented to the Board of Finance. She noted since the news story on the Leahy Report appears to give the public the perception that the Board of Education “padded the budget and overtaxed the community”, the report should be addressed by Board of Education in a timely manner. It was moved (Lovely) seconded (Herbst) to not proceed (postpone) with the discussion on this item until Mr. Leahy could be present at a Board meeting. Discussion ensued including who would be responsible for paying Mr. Leahy to attend the meeting. It was moved (Labella) seconded (Wright) to amend the motion to postpone this discussion (of the Leahy Report) to the September 21, 2010 meeting, invite Mr. Leahy to attend this meeting, and to have the discussion take place at that meeting whether Mr. Leahy is present or not. Vote: 4 in favor (Herbst, Kelly, Labella, Lovely) 2 opposed (Ward, Wright). Motion passes. Vote on motion as amended: 4 in favor (Herbst, Kelly, Labella, Lovely) 2 opposed (Ward, Wright). Motion passes.

Adjournment Board Members gave unanimous consent to adjourn the Public Session at 9:53 p.m.
4 My name is Cindy Katske and I live at 129 Meadowview Drive.
I would like to address the Leahy report, which is on tonight’s agenda for discussion. While I have quite a number of issues with the report, I will deal only with those that directly affect the Board of Education.
First, the information contained in the report is not new information. As someone who has followed the Board of Education budget process for almost a decade, I can tell you that all of the information contained in the report was known by me, or if not known, easily obtainable. Yet the report takes that information and seems to point fingers at the Board of Education, as evidenced by the lead clause of the Trumbull Times article entitled “Report Targets ‘Overfunding,” which states, “The Board of Education has “overfunded” its budget by about $3 million over the last three years.”
The Leahy report states that the large surplus returns in the 2006-07, 2007-08 and 2008-09 budget years resulted from overfunding in some of the Board of Education original budget requests, namely, the heating oil, gas, electric, and water accounts. The report neglects to note, however, that energy prices during the years in question were extremely volatile. How many homeowners were able to accurately predict and budget for their home energy needs? In addition, the Board of Education is required to submit its budget in January for the following July through June budget year. Any slight misprediction in energy prices, when applied to the Board of Education’s 12 large buildings, of course yields either a sizable surplus or deficit. I for one am thankful that we did not have to deal with deficits rather than surpluses. Yet the report makes no mention of the influence of energy pricing, nor does it provide a single suggestion for improving the budgeting for energy costs.
During the 20 10-11 budget process, Board of Education member Tom Kelly and I sat down with Steve Kennedy, the Trumbull Public Schools’ Head of Custodial and Maintenance Services, who graciously took the time to discuss in great detail his methodology for preparing the energy budget. It was astounding to learn about all of the variables and unknowns that must be taken into account in preparing the energy budget. I’m confident that I can speak for Mr. Kelly when I say that he and I both concluded that preparing the energy budget for the public schools is an extremely difficult task, but is one that Mr. Kennedy does to the best of his ability, in good faith, using reasonable assumptions and methodology. Again, the Leahy report did not provide a single suggestion for improving the budgeting for energy costs.
The Leahy report does mitigate the “overfunding” charge by stating that, in defense of the Board of Education, a surplus of approximately $850,000 on a total budget of approximately $85 million represents only 1%, which is an acceptable figure. However, despite the fact that such a surplus is “acceptable,” the Board of Education has instead been publicly accused in the press of engaging in an apparent pattern of “padding” the budget. This accusation, I fear, is counterproductive and completely disregards the Board’s policy of increasing transparency. The Board’s check register, with the exception of payroll checks, is posted online for all to see. The Board received an unprecedented award from the state Citizens Review and Audit Committee for its work with the local committee branch. And all line item budget transfers are reported publicly each month if less than $10,000 and voted on publicly if more than $10,000. The Board of Education is one of the most, if not the most, transparent boards in the Town of Trumbull, if not the state.
The Leahy report also states that, in defense of the Board of Education, it showed some restraint by not spending all the money that had been allocated to it. This statement was also apparently overlooked when the Board was charged in the press with “padding” the education budget. And not only is the Board of Education allowed by law to spend its entire allocation, the Board of Education members can be held personally liable if its allocation is overspent. No other board or elected official is held to that standard of liability.
Finally, last week the town released a press release touting budget savings in the form of low interest rates on the sale of bonds. The low interest rates were obtained as a result of the town’s credit ratings, which in turn were obtained in part by the town’s healthy “Undesignated Fund Balance.” What the press release and the Leahy report fail to note, however, is that the town’s Undesignated Fund Balance is so robust in part by the Board of Education’s return of surplus funds to the town over the past several years. Yet the Board of Education’s return of funds was not applauded or mentioned in the press release.
I believe that the Board of Education should be commended for its pattern of saving money where possible and for returning significant savings to the town. Boards of Education in neighboring towns have been forced to close schools, lay off teachers, cut programs, and impose significant fee increases. The Trumbull Board of Education has avoided those drastic measures despite several years of below status quo budget increases. At the same time it has managed to save money, ANDreturn surplus funds to the town! And for all its efforts it is accused of padding the budget.
I’mhoping that the Board of Education can move past these accusations and will be given appropriate consideration by the town bodies that vote on the budget. I’malso hoping that the public won’t believe the headlines and will realize what a good job our Board of Education is doing for the town and its children.
Thank you. 4. Page 4 under the section Findings — C. Recommendations - #6 to read as, “Consider the use of an aquatics director, managementservice and or a Town Commissionto upgrade the quality of the programming and maximize user revenue”.

Attachment: TRUMBULLTOWN COUNCILEDUCATION COMMITTEE
Amended Final DRAFTREPORT: HILLCRESTPOOL USE AND OPERATION REVIEW
July 30, 2010
SCOPE AND CHARGEOF THE EDUCATION COMMITTEEREPORT
Resolution TC 23-48 was adopted by the Town Council to conduct a study and issue a report of its findingsregardingthe use and operation of the Hillcrest pool. This undertaking was referred to the Education Committeeas the Hillcrest Pool is located in the Hillcrest Middle School which building is managed and controlled by the Board of Education.
The Education Committee met on the following dates:
February 23, 2010 March 24,2010 June 30,2010
3 July 30, 2010
The minutes to these meetings are filed in the Office of the Trumbull Town Clerk and may be consulted for additional informationand backgroundto this report.
Testimony was received from the following individuals:
Alphonse Barbarotta,Board of Education Plant Operationsmanager and principal of AFB Construction, Inc.
Rosemary Seaman,Principal- Hillcrest Middle School
Mary Markham, Director of Recreation
Thomas Collins, President Pisces Swim Club
Residents of the Town of Trumbull.
The Education Committee expresses its gratitudeto all who offered testimony and documentarysupport to it for use in conductingthe study and compilation of this report.
FINDINGS:
A. PHYSICALCONDITIONS
5. The overall physical condition of the Hillcrest pooi is fair to good.
6. The filtration,plumbing, lighting, general pool environs, HVAC, bathrooms and locker rooms are andhave been in serviceablecondition for many years but are in need of upgrading according to our recommendations.
7. No mold was discovered in the ceiling area of the pool room. Black marks on the ceiling were determined by Mr. A. Barbarottato be glue marks from adhesive used to hold tiles to the ceiling.
8. Renovationsof the locker room and shower areas have been completedalleviating student safety concerns during use of these areas by adults during school hours. Someasbestos removal was completed in this process while two emergency doors equippedwith alarms have been installed along with a new women’s bathroom and toilets. Adult access to the interior of the Hillcrest Middle School is now protected against by these alarmed doors. Approximately$20,000.00previously appropriatedbut unspent was used to defray the cost of these renovations.
4 9. There is a substantialupgrade to the pool and the building necessary to extend its useful life 10-20-years.A summaryof possible upgrades was researchedand submitted by the Plant OperationsManager and is appended hereto.
B, USE AND OPERATION
1. The pool area is maintained by th.eBoard of Education as CGS 10-220gives jurisdiction of all school propertyto the Board of Education.
2. The programmeduse of the pool is managed by the Recreation Department. Personnel working at the pool includea lifeguard, identificationreceptionist (checker),water aerobics instructorand male monitor all of whom are hired, managed and financed by the RecreationDepartment.
Custodial work is provided on a 40 hour per week basis through the Town side budget with some school duties included. Utility, maintenance and other operating expense is budgetedwith the Board of Education.
3. The pooi is used predominantlyby the community at large, especially during the school hours of 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM when children are attending school. This creates significantmanagement issues for both the Recreation Department and the Board of Education in that the Board does not have personnel under its control present in the pooi areas of the buildingto serve the needs of occupants/users therein. State and local regulationsrequire the school administrationto ensure the safety of everyone in the school buildingwhich extends to the pooi area where only recreationpersonnel are present.
4. The facility appears under-utilized.There is little or no swimmingprogramming conducted by the board of Education for its students. Formerly, the Board of Education provided a swimmingprogram for Trumbull students, Though community use pre-dominatesthe pool, there is room for considerablymore time to develop programs for greater communityuse and to generate revenue to cover the cost of operations.
5. Security concerns for the student population at the Hillcrest Middle School and in the pool area and locker rooms over the years have been addressedwith the addition of security cameras, buzzers on main doors, a half wall in the shower areas, hired receptionists/checkersand pavement of the skate park with a new entrance to the pool through door #13.
On February 5, 2010, a meeting was conducted by the First Selectman, Superintendentof Schools, and Plant Operationsmanager to discuss further security concerns and plans were developed to alleviate the same.
5 In March, the Board of Education closedthe pooi to the public during school hours over alleged student safety concernsthereby preempting community programming.The pool wasreopenedto the communityduring school hours at the end of March after the plans developedat andafter the February meeting were quickly carried out under the directionof the Public Works Department and the Plant OperationsManager. The improvementsincluded upgrades to bathroom areas (new bathroom in the women’s area) separation of showers and locker areas from the student population, new doors (entry to the school) were panic alarmed to avoid the potential for undetectedentry into the school through the locker room area.
C. RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Further study of the Town budget shouldbe made to determinethe actual operationalcost of the Hillcrest Pool on an annual basis.
2. A written policy should be adoptedto establish managementresponsibility for the entire pool facility.
3. A written policy should be adoptedto standardizeprocedures in the event of emergenciesoccurring in any portion of the building or on the school grounds. Existing protocols should be shared betweenthe school officials and recreation departmentpersonnel.
4. Considerthe feasibility of separation of the pool facility from the control of the Board of Education.
5. The proposedupgrades to the Hillcrest facility should be further examined to prioritize need, refine the work and cost estimates.
6. Considerthe use of an aquatics director,management service and or a Town Commissionto upgrade the quality of the programming and maximize user revenue.

Report to the Board of Education Regular Meeting — September 21, 2010 Mr. lassogna
Agenda Item — V-B Trumbull High School Revised Design Specifications—Renovateas New
As the Board was made aware at its June 2, 2010 meeting, the THS Building Committee was investigating possible renovation of the concession stand to add lavatories. Since that time, the Town Council approved a resolution to build a new concession stand with bathrooms included.
With this approval and some other modifications, the Board is asked to accept the following changes in design specifications so they can be forwarded to the State Facilities Unit as an EDO49R review.
The revisions include: • Construct a new concession stand structure that would include lavatory facilities.
• Remove the natatorium.
• Reduction in cost from $73,000,000 to $59,000,000.
Facilities Manager Al Barbarotta will be present to answer any questions the Board may have.
Recommendation: Approve the ED-049R with the changes noted above for the Trumbull High School Renovate as New Project that will be forwarded to the State School Facilities Office. EDUCATIONAL SPECIFICATIONS .
RENOVATION (AS NEW) AND ADDITIONS TRUMBULL HIGH SCHOOL
We believe this is a category I project.
PROJECT RATIONALE
Background
Trumbull High School was built in 1971 and has served the community for over 30 years as both a 10-12 senior high school and in recent years, as the Town’s only 9-12 high school facility. Over the years, the spaces that were programmed for unique curricula at that time have been used for new programs or have been hastily ‘cut-up’ into conventional classroom spaces that are needed to meet a growing enrollment. There are not enough classrooms or laboratories to meet the student population needs, and state mandates in special education and regular education programs have required additional classes and therefore classroom spaces that have exceeded the capacity of the current facility. Furthermore, the infrastructure of the facility has not been significantly renovated in the 36 years of operation, and equipment is in need of modernization and updating.
It is proposed that this 332,250 square foot facility be Renovated as recognized by Connecticut State Statute 10-282 (also common referred to as ‘Renovate as New’), code conformed and expanded by an estimated 38,637 square feet to meet the needs of the growing student population and the diverse curricula that is both offered and in some cases required of the students. All program areas of the school and site will be made accessible to persons with disabilities. The common and community use areas will also accommodate multiple individuals with disabilities.
Educational Specifications Page 1 Renovation (as New) and Additions to Trumbull High School Trumbull Board of Education September20. 2010 Long Range Plans
These specifications have taken a ten year “look ahead” at the town growth and resultant projected enrollment at the high school. The programming team made up of educators have forecast programs and learning environments during this “look ahead” period, and have not projected any significant change in the educational programming nor the types of facilities and spaces that currently stretched thin, but meeting the needs of the student population. As the only public high school in the Town, there is no impact on other Town educational programs, and therefore the long range plans for this facility are incorporated within this specific project and these specifications. While a separate perforniing arts center is perhaps in the unforeseeable distant future on this large middle, vocational and high school educational complex, this proposal has included the expansion and modernization of the current auditorium to meet the school needs.
Community Use
The school already serves a wide range of community educational, social and athletic programs that are anticipated to continue as the facility is modernized and expanded. One of the pivotal goals will be to extensively involve the parents and families of the students who attend the school. Consideration will be given within the school’s design to encourage those with whom the student resides to be active in the life of the school, Thus, technology links between home and school will be an integral part of the proposed renovation and expansion designs. Athletic facilities too, will be designed not only for the regular educational needs of the students, but also for their extracurricular and interscholastic programs that involve the families and friends. The bleachers will be totally replaced to provide the requisite accessibility to all as well as increase the capacity of the seating to meet the growing needs and popularity of the athletic programs. A new pool will be added to the complex, providing 8 lanes for both interscholastic and town recreational programs, with entrances developed so that the community can use the pooi while school is in session so that security is not compromised.
Space Needs and Capacity Data
The high school age population for the Town of Trumbull will continue to grow at a steady pace for the next 5-6 years as projected in a recently conducted feasibility study and by Trumbull Board of Education statistics. These statistics may be exceeded should subdivision activity that is projected for 2004-05 continue at anticipated rates, perhaps exceeding pupil projections by 5%. primarily in the lower grade ages.
We anticipate that the middle school student population (Grades 6-8) will be peaking in 2008-09 and will decrease quickly in 3 years thereafter to current middle school enrollment figures by 2012. The middle schools will reach their maximum student enrollment of 1,713 ± in 2008-09. The current 6th grade bubble (of students) will be moving on to Trumbull High School (THS) in 2006-07, but balanced with the other smaller classes on either side of this ‘bubble’ group, the high school will be reaching its second largest enrollment group of 2,072 in 2007-08. The largest high school enrollment
Educational Specifications Page 2 Renovation (as New) and Additions to Trumbull High School 20, 2010 Trumbull Board of Education September is created by the very large (2004) kindergarten class which parallels the size of the current sixth grade ‘bubble’ class. However, this following ‘kindergarten ‘bubble’ group will rival the current middle school enrollments, driving the high school enrollment to its largest in 2011-12 at 2174 students.
The high school population is already experiencing the most significant growth, since it houses 4 grade groups. Since the last demographic study was conducted in 2002, THS has seen a 7.7% increase in growth for 2003-04 over that projected in the 2002 study, and the middle schools are likewise running 7.3% ahead of those 2002 projections. For the next five years, the enrollment at Trumbull High School (THS) will continue to increase to what will be its maximum of 2,174 students in 2011-12 before seeing a slight reduction and stability in the student population. In any event, the student population will grow by over 206 students (2006-07), or over 11 % in less than 3 years in a school that is already overcrowded. This large enrollment will be maintained until it reaches it maximum projected enrollment in 2012, or 16.5% growth in 8 years.
The school program will continue to serve grades 9-12, as well as the continuing education and other educational programs for the older students in the Trumbull School System. The facility design will address optimized groupings of departments and staff to facilitate collaboration as well as enhanced interaction with the students, which has been compromised over the years with ‘band-aid’ modifications to outdated programs and spaces. The district believes that this reorganization of some of the fractured departments will foster greater student achievement and greater family and community involvement.
Size of Facility
These specificationsprovide for a facility to serve 2,200 students, which is anticipated to occur in 2012. The existing 345,973 square foot facility is proposed to be expanded by an estimated 29,276 square feet to a new total area of approximately 365,280 square feet. However, 9,969 square feet were demolished (exterior canopy/green houses/mechanicalmezzanine). A separate concession/restroom structure is estimated to be approximately 1,200 square feet for a total facility expansion of approximately30,476.
Educational Specifications Page 3 Renovation (as New) and Additions to Trumbull High School Trumbull Board of Education September20, 2010 MISSION The mission of Trumbull High School is to educate students in a safe, inviting, student- centered community. We encourage academic achievement, extracurricular participation, enthusiasm and self-confidence to foster independence and personal and social growth. We hold our school community to the ethical conduct and social awareness necessary to live and participate in a democratic, diverse and global society.

The school is structured into ‘Academic Houses’ of approximately 750 students each. Each of the houses is managed by centrally located administrative centers consisting of a house principal, guidance counselors, administrative staff, storage and storage rooms and conference rooms. The Academic Houses are currently labeled ‘A’, ‘B’ and ‘C’ houses, and occupy one side of the two story academic quadrangle that is found on four sides of the media. The administrative offices are proposed to remain at their current locations with modifications to accommodate increasing enrollment and staffing needs.
The main administrative offices are located at the end of the large entry courtyard, which houses the high school principal and administrative staff at the main entry to the facility. These administrative offices are proposed to remain at their current location with modifications only to accommodate increasing enrollment and staffing needs.

Report to the Board of Education Regular Meeting — September 21. 2010 Mr. Lovely
Agenda Item —VI- A Town of Trumbull Leahy Report
As the Board is aware, at our September 7, 2010 meeting, following a brief discussion on the Leahy Report (attached), it was moved to postpone further review on that document until this evening. Doing so would allow the Board an opportunity to address with specificity this report and have a dialogue with Mr. Leahy, who will be present this evening.
Administration Recommendation: Review, discuss and, if necessary, take action. June 2,2010
The Honorable TimothyHerbst First Selectman, Town of Trumbull Trumbull, CT 06611
Dear Mr. Herbst:
You have asked me to review the Town of TrumbuWsBoard of Educalionbudgets for the Fiscal Years 2006-07 through 2010-11 and attempt to make a projection for the 2011-12 Fiscal Year budget.
The main concerns you expressedto me were as follows:
I) The funding cliff which will exist in the 2011-12budget and its impact on the taxpayers of the Town of Trumbull;
2) The large dollar amount of surplus whichthe Board of Educationreturned to the Town Treasury for Fiscal Years 2006-07, 2007-08, and 2008-09;
3) You asked me to make observations and recommendationsregarding the above.
Please remember this report deals only with the Board of Educationbudgets and does not address other Town departmentsor the revenue streamnecessaryto support all departments of the Town.
I would like to thank all those employees of the Town who assistedme in this review, particularly Maria Pires, Finance Director, for her counsel and cooperation.
Very truly yours,
JnP. Leahy —1—
I) Funding Cliff
In the 2009-10budget process the Board of Educationrequested a budget of $84,142,628 for its operations for 2009-10 fiscal year. The Town Councilreduced this request by $100,000 and approveda budget of $84,042,628. It appears that most concerned parties (the Town Council, the Board of Education, andthe Trumbulltaxpayers)were satisfied with the approvedbudget. After the Town Councilhad approvedthe entire Town budget, the Board of Finance set a mill rate of $24.07 per $1,000 of assessment.
Subsequent to that final action by the Town boards, the Town and the Board of Education were notified that the Board of Education would be receivingtwo grants as follows: $769,881 as a result of stimulus funding and $432,000 from the State of Connecticut Equalized Cost SharingGrant given annually to all towns and cities in the state. These grants were mandatedto be spent for educationalpurposes.
Had the Town Councilknown of the existence of these grants prior to their approvalof the Board of Educationbudget, it couldhave reducedthe budget by $1,201,881. However,they did not know and an additional amount of $1,201,881was raised by increased taxes. The overtaxingcould be rectified by the Board of Education returning $1,201,881 to the Town treasury at the conclusionof the 2009-10 fiscal year. However, in reaction to a reduction of $1,225,074in its 2010-11budget request by the Town Council, the Board of Educationhas voted to take $984,000of surplus funds from its 2009-2010budget to pre-fund items that were cutby the Town Councilin recognition of the tough conditionsthe taxpayers of the Town must contend with in these stressful economic times.
The Board of Educationwill have budget dollars of $87,136,096available to them in the 2010-11 budget as follows:
$ 84,950,215 Town Appropriation $ 769,881 StimulusFunding $ 432,000 State E.C.S. Grant $ 984,000 Use of 2009-10 Surplus
$ 87,136,096
If the Board of Educationwere to request a 2.5% increase in their 2011-12 budget request ($2,178,402)which is the increase they requested in their 2010-11budget, their budget for 2011-2012 fiscal year wouldbe $89,314,498.
The funding cliff arisesbecause in 2011-12, the stimulus grant ($769,881),the E.C.S. grant ($432,000)will not be availablenor will the surplus ($984,000). In addition, raised
