Dear Members of Town Meeting,

The budget comprised within this document represents a 3% increase over prior year expenditures. The direction provided to the cost center managers in the school department, in line with other town departments, was to develop a budget that is focused on the same level of service as the prior year. As the information within this document demonstrates, the majority of increases are in the category defined as contracted services. Contracted services line items include all contracts that are negotiated by the school district for goods and services such as school buses, special education services, and any item that requires a contract.

Over the past five years, the school department has performed staffing audits in an effort to maintain a balance between class size and program demands. Making shifts in staffing as a direct result of our audits has allowed us to continue meeting the needs of our student body even in the face of shifting populations from one part of the community to another. Although we have made these adjustments on a yearly basis to help meet the demands of educational programming, we have an ever increasing stream of requirements that come in the form of unfunded mandates. Education is in a very vulnerable position when societal needs are presented. Since school districts have the responsibility to work with children, issues that arise in society are placed on the agenda for public education. Every time there is a health or educational crisis, new national and state mandates may be placed on the agenda with no funding opportunities to follow. We have created a document delineating the cost of unfunded mandates that impact Plymouth for your review that can be viewed on our website in the Superintendent’s pages at http://www.plymouth.k12.ma.us/page.cfm?p=2496.

Although we do have many challenges in education today, the school department is committed to making the Plymouth Public Schools a value add for the community. We are honored to represent this budget and look forward to the deliberation process in an effort to communicate the mission of the school department.

Sincerely, Sincerely,

James R. Sorensen, Ed.D., Chair Gary E. Maestas, Ed.D., Superintendent Plymouth School Committee Plymouth Public Schools

RE: Staffing Report FY19

Over the past two years, the Human Resources Department of the Plymouth Schools has performed a reconciliation exercise to determine the accuracy of staff reporting. We believe this exercise was necessary to assist in determining the true identification of all positions within the school department as well as the development of a methodology that is now the standard as we move forward with staff identification in future years. The end result of this exercise in identification is contained within this report, which accurately portrays all positions within the appropriate school department funding source.

The following report contains specific data related to the overall staffing totals for the Plymouth Public Schools for the FY17, FY18, and FY19 school years. There are many factors that impact the staffing needs for the school department. The FY17 school year was the first year of the full-day kindergarten implementation as evidenced by the increase in staff FTE totals, and we are happy to report that it has been a tremendous success over the past two years. We will continue to prioritize support for all students, and while there has been a decline in overall student enrollment, the specific educational needs of our children has increased. As a result of these needs, we have worked to be creative with the intentional program design of our special education offerings. These offerings are saving the district money but are, more importantly, keeping students in their home school district and will continue to be a priority.

In the report below, we have identified a number of important factors that contribute to our staffing trends. Please review the following:

 Staffing totals  Definitions of important terms/staff titles/additional budget information  Listing of specific grants/other funding that helps reduce funds associated with our total FTE count  Special Education District-Wide Programs – program design, staffing, and student totals  Special Education Out-of-District Placement Student Numbers

We hope that this breakdown will explain the many different facets of our PreK-12 district staffing needs. While this report is based on the overall FTE count, it is important to note that while the total FTE’s for FY19 is 1217, many grants ensure that the school budget does not fund all of these FTE’s. For example, our school lunch program is self-funded. We anticipate the same funding model will

Plymouth Public Schools ~ FY19 Budget 20

Staffing Report FY19 January 19, 2018 Page 2 of 8

be used for the FY19 school year as the majority of the grants are entitlement grants; however, it is too early to share official projections.

I. FY17 & FY18 Staffing Totals:

Plymouth Public Schools ~ FY19 Budget 21

Staffing Report FY19 January 19, 2018 Page 3 of 8

II. Definitions/Additional Information:

A. FTE – Full-Time Equivalent

B. School Resource Officers and Funding Source – We currently have four School Resource Officers (SRO’s). There is one SRO in each of the four secondary schools. These officers also provide support to our elementary schools. The Plymouth School Department works collaboratively with the Plymouth Police Department to cost-share these positions. Essentially, we pay for two of the positions and the police department pays for two of these positions. This role is integral to our student safety model within our schools.

C. Educational Television Program Details and Funding Source – We are fortunate to have 6.56 FTE’s who work for our educational television program. These individuals are paid through a revolving account, and the funds are generated through our local Comcast/ Verizon agreements. Therefore, we are able to provide state-of-the-art television/communications programming to the community with no impact on our local school budget.

D. Social-Emotional Support Specifics – Throughout the budget process, you have heard a great deal from our school leaders regarding the declining social-emotional health of our students and families. It is important to highlight that this need is being addressed in our schools through the work of qualified employees. The certificated staff FTE total includes approximately 45 FTE’s who represent counselors, psychologists, etc., who work directly with our students that struggle with social-emotional needs.

E. ParaEducators – ParaEducators are an integral part of our school community. We have shifted the model and structure of ParaEducators to use funds more efficiently. Para- Educators assist the certificated staff in a number of different areas. The categories below help explain the many roles of ParaEducators in our school system. In accordance with our Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), we have grouped them into specific categories:

 Category 1: Instructional Support ParaEducators: Moderate Special Needs, Classroom, IMC, Literacy, Computer, Vocational  Category 2: Building Support ParaEducators: SAM, Security Receptionist, Clerical, Science, Bus Monitor  Category 3: Specialized Support ParaEducators: ADA, ASD, Basic Skills, CARE, Life Skills, Preschool, Project Growth, One-to-One

Plymouth Public Schools ~ FY19 Budget 22

Staffing Report FY19 January 19, 2018 Page 4 of 8

 Category 4: Specialized Therapeutic ParaEducators: CNA/Health, Job Coach, Speech and Language Assistant, Certified Occupational Therapeutic Assistant, Physical Therapy Assistant, Registered Behavior Technician, and Applied Behavioral Analyst.

III. Grants/Other Funding:

The grants and other funding sources listed below have provided resources to effectively help us reduce our overall FTE count by subsidizing the school budget.

Grants  Inclusive Preschool Learning Grant  Coordinated Family Grant  Enhanced School Health Grant  Title One Grant  Special Education IDEA Grant  Title IIA Grant  Perkins Grant  Title IVA  Drug-Free Communities  MA Dissemination Program  Early Childhood

Other Funding  Municipal Medicaid Reimbursable Services Funding  Comcast/Verizon Cable Contract Funding

IV. Special Education:

A. District-Wide Self-Contained Programs

Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) was signed into law in 1975. Prior to IDEA, public schools accommodated only one out of five children with disabilities. Many states had laws that explicitly excluded children with certain types of disabilities from attending public school. At the time IDEA was enacted, more than one million children in the U.S. had no access to the public school system; many of these children lived at state institutions where they received limited or no educational or rehabilitation services. Another 3.5 million children attended school but were “warehoused” in segregated facilities and received little or no effective instruction. The cornerstone of IDEA is that all children receive a Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) in the Least Restrictive Setting (LRE).

Plymouth Public Schools ~ FY19 Budget 23

Staffing Report FY19 January 19, 2018 Page 5 of 8

Plymouth is an inclusive community with a school department that is committed to educating all students within the least restrictive setting (LRE). Least restrictive environment refers to the principle that to the maximum extent appropriate, students with disabilities are educated along with students who do not have disabilities. The removal of students with special needs from the general education program occurs only if the nature or severity of the disability is such that education in general education classes with the use of supplementary aids and services cannot be achieved satisfactorily (603CMR28.06). To this end, Massachusetts requires that school districts provide a full continuum of in-district and out-of-district services and placements to meet the needs of diverse learners.

It is important to note that the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) recently published a guidebook for educators regarding the importance of inclusion for students with and without disabilities. Inclusion is not a special education placement, but rather the implementation of systems and processes that allow all students to be educated within their community, the impact of which is significant. In Massachusetts, students with learning or communication disabilities, who are educated full-time in general education settings, are nearly five times more likely to graduate high school in four years than are similar students in substantially separate placements.

Moreover, school districts must demonstrate maintenance of effort (MOE) regarding special education programming and services and that the cost of placements and or services cannot be taken into account when planning for student programming. It is also important to note that special education is not funded exclusively by the local budget. Special education is partially funded by the IDEA federal entitlement grant and through the circuit breaker reimbursement program. While cost cannot be the leader in this discussion, the fact that it is better for children to remain in their local school district has been our focus. The average cost per student in an out-of-district placement is $75,000.00, not including transportation, which is also mandated. So while we are focused on the needs of our students and as you will see from the numbers below, it is also more cost effective.

Plymouth Public Schools ~ FY19 Budget 24

Staffing Report FY19 January 19, 2018 Page 6 of 8

Listed below are the programs that are currently in place within the Plymouth Public Schools, their staffing totals, as well as the student enrollment.

ASD – Serves students identified on the Autism Spectrum grades PK-12. Life Skills – Serves students with severe special needs who are medically fragile, non- verbal, and/or more than three grades below grade level grades PK-12. CARE – Serves students with significant emotional & behavioral disabilities grades PK-12. BRIDGE – Serves students with low cognitive abilities, but not medically fragile grades 3-12. Possibilities – Serves students with identified behavioral disabilities grades 9-12. Project Growth – Serves students who are not diploma bound, rather transitioning to independent life and job skills ages 18-22.

SEASIDE Program (NEW)

In a time of tight budgets, Plymouth Public School embraces opportunities to partner with other organizations to supplement our local resources. One way that this happens is a partnership for the use of classroom space to Pilgrim Area Collaborative (PAC). PAC utilizes space at Plymouth South Middle School for the SEASIDE program. SEASIDE is a program that services students in grades 1-6 with a focus on social-emotional disabilities in addition to a transition program for 18-22 year olds. Along with sharing of professional staff and services, the district receives funds from the collaborative to use spaces within the building. This space was made available for this creative partnership when the fifth grade students returned to South Elementary School in the fall of 2017.

Preschool:  2 ASD Teachers (PECC)  1 Life Skills Teacher (PECC) Elementary:  7 ASD teachers (FFES, IBES, & SES – transitioning out of FFES due to space)  2 Life Skills teachers (WES)  3 CARE teachers (WES)  2 Bridge teachers (NMES) Middle:  2 ASD teachers (PSMS)  1 Life Skills teacher (PSMS)  3 CARE teachers (PCIS)  2 Bridge teachers (PCIS)

Plymouth Public Schools ~ FY19 Budget 25

Staffing Report FY19 January 19, 2018 Page 7 of 8

High School:  2 ASD teachers (PSHS)  2 Possibilities teachers (PSHS)  2 Life Skills teachers (PNHS)  4 Project Growth teachers (PNHS) In closing, in order to staff these many programs, we have hired talented staff with specific skills to work with the various populations. Again, this district-wide program model demonstrates a substantial cost savings for our district. It is also important to note that our out-of-district placement numbers have significantly declined due to these models and the supportive staff in our schools. These numbers are all included in the totals on the first page of this document.

Total Certificated Staff in District-wide Self-contained Programs (Teachers, Counselors, Therapists) – 43.4 FTE

 Preschool – 4.4  Elementary – 15  Middle – 9  High School - 15 Total ParaEducator Staff – 76.8 FTE

 Preschool – 15.8  Elementary – 38.5  Middle – 8.5  HS - 14 Total Number of Students Served – 263 severe special needs students

 Preschool – 31  Elementary – 90  Middle – 52  High School – 90

Plymouth Public Schools ~ FY19 Budget 26

Staffing Report FY19 January 19, 2018 Page 8 of 8

B. Out-of-District Placements:

As is stated above, in specific cases when we are not able to keep our students within our schools or district-based programs, we need to send our students to out-of-district placements. Listed below is a longitudinal perspective of our out-of-district placements since FY12.

Current Plymouth Public Schools Special Education Out-of-District Placements:

 FY12 – 100 students  FY13 – 81 students (2 students returned to district)  FY14 – 97 students (4 students returned to district)  FY15 – 85 students (6 students returned to district)  FY16 – 84 students (7 students returned to district)  FY17 – 80 students (2 students returned to district)  FY18 – 81 students

In closing, being such a large district, our staffing needs are diverse as our school population has varied needs in regards to academic support. In addition, mandates have increased over the years based on requirements from the Massachusetts Department of Education. As a district, we work hard to ensure that our staffing levels do not increase, rather if we need to add a position due to student and/or program needs, we look at appropriate/necessary reductions. Through these creative measures we have been able to maintain stable yet efficient staffing levels.
