  • RTM Education Committee Budget Report FY 2020-21: Submitted June 5, 2020
    RTM Education Committee Budget Report FY 2020-21: Submitted June 5, 2020 Your Education Committee met to vote on Item 3: the FY 2020-21 Budget on Monday, June 1, 2020. The Education Committee considers and votes on operating and capital budgets for the Board of Education, the Libraries, the Bruce Museum and parts of the Departments of Public Works, Parks and Recreation, and Health as they relate to the schools. We also consider the school lunch revolving fund, budget resolutions related to the schools and libraries, and the borrowing authorization for capital projects, including those related to the BOE. As in prior years, our coverage of the budget began in November as the Superintendent presented her proposed budget to the Board of Education. During our December, January, March, May and June meetings we heard presentations and updates from the BOE on the status of their budget. At our May meeting we had budget presentations from Greenwich Library and The Bruce Museum. Due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, we gave departments the option of submitting budget information via email. The Perrot Library, DPW, Parks and Rec, and Department of Health (special clinical/hygienists) all submitted budget information to us via email. Members of our committee took on liaison roles with individual schools, the libraries, and The Bruce. Each liaison met with the school building or department leaders to prepare a more in-depth report on their budgets. These are appended at the end of this report. Please realize that most interviews were completed before the BET’s budget was finalized, and the information contained in them may have changed.

  • Academic Year 2018-2019 COMMON
    Academic Year 2018-2019 COMMON ADMISSION TESTING PROGRAM (For students applying to 3rd and 4th grades in September 2018) Brunswick School, Sacred Heart Greenwich Greenwich Academy, The Greenwich Country Day School King School, The Stanwich School, Whitby School Overview Many families in the Greenwich/Stamford area apply to more than one local independent school. Because all the schools in the program screen applicants using sections of the Educational Records Bureau, CTP 4, a common testing program eliminates multiple testing for the applicant and provides families greater flexibility in scheduling. Standardized testing is only one aspect of the admissions process. Consideration is also given to school records, school visits and family interviews. Observation of younger children and other special evaluations may also be required depending upon the school and grade level. Regardless of which school serves as the test center, parents may request test results to be sent to any independent school in the program. Scheduling Tests are offered 7 Saturdays between November 4, 2017 and January 20, 2018. We encourage applicants to take this required test as early as possible to provide make-up time in the event of unanticipated illness or a weather cancellation. Please check each school’s application deadlines, allowing 15 days for ERB to send test results to the schools. Description of Tests Applicants will be given sections of the Educational Records Bureau, CTP 4. These assessments include achievement tests in reading comprehension and mathematics. The tests are objective and multiple-choice in format. In addition, students will be assigned a writing sample on a given topic.
