The district’s Senior Leadership Team and I oversee the day-to-day operations of our City’s complex and diverse school district of nearly 10,000 students and more than 2,000 employees. Together, district and school administrators, educators, and support staff strive to support the whole child academically, socially, and behaviorally, creating relationships between students, educators, families, and community. We are committed to providing educators with meaningful and relevant support and development and to implementing technology and facilities that allow teaching and learning to occur in environments that are healthy, welcoming, and safe. Time and resources in FY21 were squarely focused on providing for the most basic needs of our students and families in the midst of a global pandemic. From food security to reliable and affordable internet access, to technology in-hand for students to access school from home, monies allocated to the school department could not have been used more intentionally and responsibly. School department efficiencies were found in FY21 and continue to be explored in FY22 as there is always a need to evaluate the ways in which taxpayer dollars are spent to ensure the best return on investment and benefits to our children . The release of district office space by the Superintendent’s decision to not renew the lease at the Perini building, for example, saved more than $550,000 in the FY21 and subsequent budgets and preserved the teaching and support staff needed to manage the current remote and hybrid learning model. This was among the most significant budgetary and operational moves that could have been made in the current fiscal year and, like all of our decision-making, was driven by our district mission, vision, and core values. FRAMINGHAM PUBLIC SCHOOLS 2021-2022 BUDGET 6 The Framingham Public Schools leadership team makes decisions about educational programming and the operating budget that is necessary to support the vision of the multi-year Strategic Plan which is framed by the district’s core values: Providing a safe, inclusive, culturally responsive teaching and learning environment; Engaging antiracist and responsible civic advocates; Respecting diversity of thoughts, learners, culture, and community; Fostering learning and healthy growth of all students and staff; Ensuring every school will be an active, participatory, equitable community. Our theory of action is fairly simply, but extraordinarily important and undeniably mission-driven: We believe that if we create multiple pathways for learning and an inclusive environment of social-emotional wellness, and we strengthen our global educators and engage our families and community in collaborative partnership, and we ensure all students have equitable access to resources; then we will provide each student with personalized interventions and accelerations, and advance the achievement, success, and wellness of all students. This mission-driven budget book illustrates precisely how taxpayer dollars are spent in the school department. How money is spent speaks directly to what the school department values and upon close inspection you will see that each and every expense ties back to the strategic goals and objectives that we have developed in concert with our administrators, teachers, community partners, community members, and our most valued stakeholders, our students. Thank you for your confidence in us and for your unwavering commitment to Framingham students and families. Leading a school district in a community that so deeply values education is what makes this work so exciting and meaningful. Very truly yours, Robert A. Tremblay, Ed.D., Superintendent Framingham Public Schools FRAMINGHAM PUBLIC SCHOOLS 2021-2022 BUDGET 7 BUDGET MESSAGE FROM THE FRAMINGHAM SCHOOL COMMITTEE March 31, 2021 To the City of Framingham: In partnership with our Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Robert Tremblay, we submit to you a responsibly crafted and on time Fiscal Year 2022 budget proposal for the Framingham Public Schools. As a School Committee, we are responsible for exercising co-leadership with the Superintendent in the vision, planning, policy making, evaluation, and advocacy for the mission of continuous improvement of student achievement in the district. We are all committed to providing the highest quality education for all students and strive to do so while presenting a fiscally responsible budget for our community. Fully aligned with the Framingham Public Schools Strategic Plan 2020-2023, School Improvement Plans at all individual schools, and state standards, we submit to you a forward-looking budget focused on creating pathways to optimize student success. We are seeking support from the Mayor and City Council of the proposed funding of $X for next year’s Operating Budget. This funding will allow us to continue to build a strong foundation of high quality instruction with a fully aligned and engaging curriculum. This budget request is built upon the philosophy of investing in academic achievement, supporting employees, establishing access and equity models, enhancing technology, improving safety and security, legal compliance, meeting contractual obligations, continued streamlining of operations, creating opportunities for innovation, and data-driven decision making - all during a time of pandemic recovery and renewal. Throughout our district we are so proud to have recent current school year/FY21 success stories showing a strong return on previous investments and reflections that the previous and new Strategic Plans are both making tangible progress. This includes remote and hybrid learning adjustments, moving to a FRAMINGHAM PUBLIC SCHOOLS 2021-2022 BUDGET 8 one-to-one model by providing chromebooks to all students, increased access to high quality instructional software, a focus on equity and culturally responsive practices in teaching and learning, continued growth of our dual language programs, the launch of the new Civics project for all 8th graders and U.S. History 2 students at the high school, the near-completion of the new Fuller Middle School, and
