T H E P U B L I C S C H O O L S of H O L Y O K E, M A S S A C H U S E T T S 57 Suffolk Street, Holyoke MA, 01040 A Message from the Receiver Dr. Stephen Zrike: It is my privilege to share the Holyoke Public Schools recommended budget for the 2017 fiscal year. The recommended budget of $90.9 million represents an increase of $1 million over FY16. This budget was thoughtfully developed with our strategic objectives and initiatives at the forefront. More specifically, we made investments to support the following five priorities: providing high quality instruction for all, creating personalized pathways for students, engaging our community, designing a system of empowered schools and building a thriving workforce. These represent essential pillars that will anchor our turnaround efforts and allow us to deliver on our promise to be Holyoke families’ first option for their child’s education. To this end, our budget supports the following: • Increased compensation for our teachers and paraprofessionals, particularly those working a full school day in our elementary and middle schools; • Hiring more SPED inclusion and ELL teachers to better meet the needs of our students most in need; • Expanding programs to provide students and families with more choices (dual language in pre-K and 2nd grade and a personalized pathway program for middle school students); • Providing our schools and staff with technology upgrades, specifically offering devices to each teacher and increasing access for students across schools; • Adopting and expanding standards-aligned curriculum; and • Implementing the recommendations from our secondary redesign team (developing a 9th grade academy, offering more dual enrollment opportunities for students, and enhancing career pathways) iii ~ We are Holyoke families’ 1st choice for their children’s education ~ These mission-driven commitments are being made at a time when our revenue remains virtually flat and our costs are steadily increasing. Our charter assessments and health insurance obligations have increased while some of our grant funding has either expired. This reality, coupled with our resolve to improve student outcomes resulted in an initial budget shortfall of $4.3 million. To protect our classrooms and accelerate our improvement efforts, we were forced to make difficult decisions that included significant cuts to central office staffing, resources and services. We wanted to ensure that schools had the resources necessary to effectively implement their operational plans, maximize the opportunity of a fuller school day and provide more enriching learning experiences for students. I am pleased to present this comprehensive budget that is strategically aligned to our turnaround plan. In building this budget, I want to extend my gratitude to Mr. Anthony Soto and the Office of Business Financial Services, the HPS leadership team and our school based administrators. We appreciate the continued support of our educators, School Committee members, Mayor Morse, elected officials, Holyoke taxpayers and our families. Holyoke has demonstrated that our children come first and that the community is serious about providing its youth with an exemplary education.

The FY 2017 budget is balanced and it achieves the Receiver’s commitment to allocate resources into the classroom. Through the strong collaborative effort of District leaders and innovative decision-making, our District can present an honest budget that puts children first. For FY 2017, the Receiver will adopt a $90.9 million general fund budget, representing a 1.1% increase over FY 2016. The District strives to achieve a budget proposal that coincides with its mission, vision, and core values, with the ultimate goal of student achievement in mind. Please note that all of the numbers presented in this budget were based on updated assumptions in the Senate Ways and Means Budget. Therefore, there is a difference between what the City Council total appropriation for the School Department was and what is being presented in this budget document. For a reconciliation of those differences please see the appendix on page 92. VISION We are Holyoke families’ 1st choice for their children’s education. Our students: Graduate with an additional credential that provides for college and career options Experience success through multiple pathways Think critically and communicate with purpose Value themselves, value others and value being part of the Holyoke

They are intended to be working documents for setting priorities, enabling the Department to adapt to changing fiscal, social and environmental conditions. The planning process provides a forum for communication and cooperation with park visitors and the surrounding communities to ensure transparency in the DCR’s stewardship efforts. As I travel the Commonwealth, I am reminded of the variety of high-quality experiences offered by DCR parks. Those within the Mount Holyoke Range Planning Unit are among the best that this state has to offer. They provide a variety of recreational opportunities, from challenging hikes along mountain ridgelines, to family picnics on a promontory overlooking the Connecticut River Valley, to taking in a summer concert in downtown Holyoke. Although they may all be visited in a single day, the true character of these parks is best revealed through repeat visits. In addition to providing outstanding recreational opportunities, these parks protect important natural and cultural resources.

  • THE VINE Summer 2012 News from Wistariahurst Museum
    Volume 7 Issue 3 THE VINE Summer 2012 News from Wistariahurst Museum The Skinner Legacy Tour The Skinner Family are famed nearly as much for their philanthropic gifts as they are for business innovation and expertise in producing high quality silk and satin fabrics. In the tradition of late 19th century industrialists, much of the money the family made in business was returned to the community as donations to support the construction and development of various institutions—a chapel, a hospital, a city library, a gymnasium, a coffee house and even a state park. Join the curators of Wistariahurst and the Joseph Allen Skinner Museum for a jaunt around Holyoke and South Hadley to learn more about how their endeavors in industry and philanthropy overlapped. The program includes transportation and tours of various Skinner venues. Participants will get an insider tour of the Skinner Chapel of the United Photo courtesy of Wistariahurst Congregational Church to see the beautiful stained glass windows and William Cobbet Skinner learn of the dedication of the chapel. The Joseph A. Skinner Museum will offer a tour of the eclectic collection featuring more than 6,000 objects and a special exhibition highlighting the collecting life of Joseph Skinner. The tour will include a stop at the Orchards, a former home of Joseph Skinner and his family in South Hadley. While in town, the group will also visit the Orchards Golf Course, host of the 2004 U.S. Women’s Open. Founding Director of the Donald Ross Society, Michael Fay, will present “20 Minutes with Donald Ross” dressed in plus‐fours, and refreshments can be enjoyed on the deck of the clubhouse.

The subject of the conference was choice in public education. First, excerpts from opening remarks and a note on the conference are presented. Then, major recommendations are outlined, including: (I) Parents must be involved in deciding which different kinds of educational options should be offered in their district and whichare best for each of their children. (2) Teachers and principals must be able to choose the kind of schooling they wish to practice. (3) A permanent system-wide Parent and Citizen Planning Council should be established, and its members should conduct parent/professional surveys, operate a city-wide Parent Information Center, and perform other similar functions. (4) School-based management is preferred, and every school should have a School Parent Council elected by the parents whose children attend that school.

  • Holyoke Level 5 District Turnaround Plan Executive Summary Executive Summary
    Holyoke Level 5 District Turnaround Plan Executive Summary Executive Summary In April 2015, the Massachusetts Board of Elementary and Secondary Education voted to designate the Holyoke Public Schools chronically underperforming (Level 5), placing the district in state receivership. In July 2015, by appointment of Commissioner Mitchell Chester, Stephen Zrike became the Receiver of the Holyoke Public Schools. The receivership provides the opportunity for a significant, sustained district turnaround in Holyoke. At the core of this plan is the firm belief that all Holyoke students deserve a world-class education. For too long, many Holyoke students have not received a high-quality education or were allowed to fail. With this plan, we will raise the bar, improve the instruction and services we offer, and provide students with the skills and tools they need to be successful in school now, and later in college and their careers. Central to the turnaround plan are the educators1 who are charged with transforming the district from one of low performance to one in which student achievement is consistently strong. Job one is ensuring that we employ an effective teacher in every classroom and that effective administrators lead our schools. To accomplish this, the district will implement strategies to retain high-performing staff and to recruit new talent to Holyoke, to ensure that all students receive strong instruction, interventions, and supports in every classroom, every day. Throughout the plan, we focus on the following critical action steps
