Questions, Uncertainties: Schools Hold Extra Budget Hearings
Melany Gray, posted on March 25, 2009
Mamaroneck School Superintendent Paul Fried's recommended budget has been out for only a week. Yet already it has generated dozens of comments and questions via email and at budget workshops on March 21 and 24 that were attended by over 100 people. The recommended budget calls for cuts of more than 47 positions, increases in class size at all schools, and a tax increase of 4.28%. (See: Superintendent's Budget Calls For Many Cuts, 4.28% Tax Hike.)
Seven hours of line-by-line budget review with the board and community at the workshops have not been enough to cover all issues. An additional session is scheduled for April 1 at 8:00 pm. The superintendent will present a revised budget on April 14; the board will present their revisions on April 21 and will take a final vote on April 23. Except on April 1, meetings will begin at 7:30 pm; all are in the tiered classroom at Mamaroneck High School.
Teacher "Give-Backs" and Other Uncertainties
Presaging the possibility of concessions, Ann Borselino, president of the Mamaroneck Teachers' Association, closed Tuesday night's workshop by indicating that her group was "working tirelessly exploring ways to help our Larchmont/Mamaroneck community during these hard times. We heard you in 1994, and we gave back 2% of our salary. We are listening now." There are "preliminary and productive discussions" underway in the MTA aimed at saving teachers' jobs, she reported.
The possibility of a union "giveback" on salary increases or health benefits is just one open issue besetting the school board as it prepares a final budget for community vote on May 19. Questions remain on the possibility of new state mandates and on the timing and amount of federal stimulus monies.
Also undecided is what to do if state funding is reinstated at prior levels or new stimulus funds come in. Community feedback has raised competing priorities, said Linnet Tse, school board president. Deciding among them is "part of the balancing act we must do," she said. The board will continue to seek and analyze community input as it prepares its final budget.
Below are highlights from this week's budget workshops. Additional answers to frequently raised questions along with other budget information can be found on the district website at www.mamkschools.org.
Elementary Class Size – Fair?
The vast majority of community comments related to proposed increases in elementary class size by two students at all four elementary schools. Mamaroneck class size is already on the high end by Westchester standards, noted some parents. Ms. Tse recalled that board guidelines lowered class size to their present levels several years ago. "We've had the luxury of being able to bring it down," she said. However, both Ms. Tse and Dr. Fried emphasized throughout both budget workshops that schools are people intensive. With staff salaries and benefits accounting for 78% of expenditures, the only way to make up for decreased revenues is to cut positions.
With respect to lower class guidelines at Mamaroneck Avenue School (MAS), these were prompted several years ago by that school's relatively low test scores. Dr. Fried explained that No Child Left Behind legislation "punishes districts that don't make adequate yearly progress," and MAS was not meeting state standards. Districts are at risk of losing aid, for example. Fortunately, smaller classes and other supports have resulted in "good gains" at MAS, said Dr. Fried, but the achievement gap has not yet closed.
On Tuesday, one parent acknowledged the need for different guidelines for MAS, but said, "the question is the breakpoint." She suggested that raising the MAS guidelines by even one student could save a teaching position.
Objections to Cuts at Central School
Central School parents were the most vocal group, objecting to the proposed cut of their assistant principal and loss of two classroom teachers and other specialists. Dr. Fried explained that Central is the smallest school in the district, and other Westchester schools have only one administrator at much larger schools.
Dr. Fried did acknowledged an "unfortunate mistake" with Central's enrollment on page 57 of the budget book. Central now has 433 students (not 477) in regular classes and 43 special education students in self-contained classes. Rather than a decrease for 2009-2010, as previously reported, Central is projected to gain 15 students, for a total of 491. (See: Corrected Enrollment.)
PTA co-presidents of all four elementary schools unanimously oppose eliminating Central's assistant principal, reported Jennifer Malherbe, PTA co-president at Central. Other Central parents spoke about the school's diversity, not only in terms of ethnic and socioeconomic makeup, but also because 80% of the district's elementary special education students assigned to self-contained classes are housed at Central, including those from the other three neighborhood schools.
These factors, together with Central fifth graders scoring lowest in the district on 2008 state tests, warranted keeping the administrative position, parents argued. They suggested either applying reduced class size guidelines for Central or counting in a regular class total those special education students who are "mainstreamed" into the class for a portion of the day.
Some parents argued that the board and Dr. Fried did not understand the "complexity" of Central. But Dr. Fried rejected this as "a complete misstatement," citing experience that he and other administrators had in other complex school districts and the time they spent at Central.
Concerns About Cutting an Assistant Superintendent
Several parents, including representatives from the district's Special Education Parent Teacher Association (SEPTA), voiced concerns about plans to cut one assistant superintendent. Pete Scordo, interim superintendent for personnel, is leaving at the end of the school year, and Dr. Anthony Minotti, assistant superintendent for student support services, is slated to take on the personnel position while continuing to oversee special education and other support staff, such as nurses, guidance counselors and psychologists.
Some questioned whether gains made in delivering mandated special education services could be maintained. Others wondered how Dr. Minotti could supervise special education and support services if he is to spend 80-90% of his time on personnel, as Dr. Fried has projected.
Dr. Minotti conceded that he had yet to "knock out the specifics" with the two special education directors or other central administrators, but expressed confidence that structures put in place this year would continue. Dr. Fried acknowledged the greater workload for remaining central administrators, but emphasized his belief that they could handle it. The alternative, he said, was to cut two more teachers.
Other Possible Cuts
Ms. Tse reported receiving e-mails calling for no tax increase, which would require further budget cuts. (See: Letters to the Editors ) However, at the two budget workshops, most cuts recommended by community members were alternatives to cutting staff. Some suggested paring back expenses for professional development or instructional coaches rather than eliminating teachers.
Annie Ward, assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction, said she had already trimmed $125,900 for professional development from accounts under her control and more had been cut by building principals. Instructional coaches are key to developing curriculum consistency, she said, and because they work with teachers in their classrooms, they save the cost of hiring substitutes for teachers to meet with consultants outside of class.
Proposed cuts to athletics and extracurricular activities have not yet been spelled out. Dr. Fried said he has cut $90,000 out of athletics and physical education, but no teams have been eliminated. Additional cuts are under consideration.

President Obama discusses the need for family-friendly policies in our workplaces, as part of a series of essays leading up to the White House Summit on Working Families.
This morning, the Huffington Post published the following op-ed from the President, discussing the need for family-friendly policies in our workplaces. The op-ed is part of a series of essays about the issues facing working families, leading up to today's White House Summit on Working Families.
Watch the Summit live at www.workingfamiliessummit.org.
As President, my top priority is rebuilding an economy where everybody who works hard has the chance to get ahead.
That's the subject of the first White House Summit on Working Families, which is taking place today. We're bringing together business leaders and workers to talk about the challenges that working parents face every day and how we can address them.
Take flexibility – the ability to take a few hours off for a school play or to work from home when your kid is sick. Most workers want it, but not enough of them have it – even though studies show that flexibility makes workers happier, and helps companies lower turnover and raise productivity.
Take paid family leave. Many jobs don't offer adequate leave to care for a new baby or an ailing parent, so workers can't afford to be there when their family needs them the most. And the United States is the only developed country in the world without paid maternity leave.
Take childcare. Most working families I know can't afford thousands a year for childcare, but often, that's what it costs. I recently got a letter from a woman in Minnesota whose kids' preschool is so expensive, it costs more every month than her mortgage.
And take the minimum wage. Nearly 28 million Americans would benefit if we raised the minimum wage to $10.10. And we're not just talking about young people on their first job – the average worker who would benefit from an increase is 35 years old. Many have kids. And a majority are women. Right now, many full-time minimum wage workers aren't even making enough to keep their kids out of poverty.
Family leave, childcare, flexibility, and a decent wage aren't frills. They're basic needs. They shouldn't be bonuses – they should be the bottom line.
Parents who work full-time should earn enough to pay the bills and go to work every day knowing that their kids are in good hands. Workers who give their all should know that if they need some flexibility, they can have it – because their employers understand that it's hard to be productive when you've got a sick kid at home or a childcare crisis. And talented, hard-working people should be able to say yes to a great new opportunity without worrying that their family will pay the price. Nearly half of all working parents surveyed say they've chosen to turn down a job, not because they didn't want it, because it would be too hard on their families. When that many members of our workforce are forced to choose between a job and their family, something's wrong.
Some businesses are realizing that family-friendly policies are a good business practice, because they help build loyalty and inspire workers to go the extra mile. JetBlue offers a flexible work-from-home plan for its customer service representatives. Google increased their paid parental leave to five months – and the rate of women leaving the company decreased by half. Cisco lets their employees telecommute as needed, which they estimate saves them over $275 million every year.
And there's a bigger economic case here, too. The strength of our economy rests on whether we're getting the most out of all of our nation's talent – whether we're making it possible for all our citizens to contribute to our growth and prosperity. That's the key to staying competitive in the global economy. Right now, we're leaving too many people on the sidelines who have the desire and the capacity to work, but are held back by one obstacle or another. It's our job to remove those obstacles. That's what supporting working families is all about.
States are getting on board, too. California, Rhode Island, and New Jersey give workers paid family leave. Connecticut offers paid sick days. So does New York City. Since I asked Congress to raise the minimum wage last year, 13 states have taken steps to raise it on their own.
But all Americans should get to benefit from these policies. That's why we need to see some action here in Washington.
I'll work with anyone – Democrats or Republicans – to increase opportunity for American workers. But in this year of action, whenever I can act on my own, I will.
Today, I'll sign a Presidential Memorandum directing every agency in the federal government to expand access to flexible work schedules, and giving employees the right to request them.
I'm calling on Congress to pass the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, because too many pregnant workers are forced to choose between their health and their job. They can get fired for taking too many bathroom breaks, or forced on unpaid leave just for being pregnant. It's inhumane, and it needs to stop.
And to help parents trying to get ahead, I'm directing my Secretary of Labor to invest $25 million in helping people who want to enroll in job training programs, but don't currently have access to the childcare they need to do it.
I take this personally – as the son and grandson of some strong women who worked hard to support my sister and me; as the husband of a brilliant woman who struggled to balance work and raising our young ladies when my job often kept me away; and as the father of two beautiful girls, whom I want to be there for as much as I possibly can – and whom I hope will be able to have families and careers of their own one day.
We know from our history that our country does better when everybody participates; when everyone's talents are put to use; when we all have a fair shot. That's the America I believe in. That's the America I'll keep fighting for every day.

Multi Agency Whole Family Approach to Domestic Abuse Services >
Please see below on behalf of IDAS and York St John University Research Partnership :-
"We are undertaking an important project to develop an evidence-based support service for children and young people impacted by domestic abuse. The service will take a Multi-Agency, Whole Family Approach.
We would like the views of professionals working in York and North Yorkshire to contribute to this service development (a survey for parents is available below).
Your views are vital. Please take ten minutes to contribute your opinions and experience to develop this innovative service, by completing the survey below. Initially the service will be available in York (July 2021), expanding to North Yorkshire following the first phase of development (April 2022).
The questionnaire will take approximately 10 minutes of your time, and the results of the survey will shape what services are available in the coming months to support children and young people.   Click the link below to begin.
Parents Survey
In addition to a survey for professionals supporting families, we have developed a survey for parents who have experienced domestic abuse, this is whether or not they have ever received support from a domestic abuse service. We would be grateful for your support distributing the surveys to parents to ensure that we reach a broad range of people. There are differing views about what domestic abuse is and for the purpose of taking part in this research we would like to include parents who have:
• Experienced a relationship that felt unsafe, unhealthy and/or abusive and
• have children who were affected by this.
You may wish to use the text below to forward on to parents you are working with so that they can feed in their views.
