¨ $434 million to end the Gap Elimination Adjustment for all school districts

¨ $627 million in additional Foundation Aid¤ $100 million in Foundation Aide set aside to create and expand Community

¨ $20 million for “My Brother’s Keeper” initiative

¨ $54 million in state funding for charter schools

¨ $25 million in “bullet” aid

¨ Employee funded full paid family leave

¨ A registered increase of the minimum wage

Update – NYS Education Budget

¨ The following items proposed by the Governor & others WERE NOT included in the final approved budget:¤ Education Tax Credit¤ Statewide building aid for Charter Schools¤ Changes in the receivership laws¤ De-linking state aid increases with successful

negotiations of the 3012-d changes to APPR¤ Adjustments to the tax cap

State School Aid to Clarence

Aid Category Increase

Increase to Expense Driven Aids (BOCES, Special Education, hardware/software, transportation)

$147,979 ESTIMATE(essentially the same as Governor’s proposal)

Restoration of the Gap Elimination Adjustment (GEA)

$1,817,020($1.25 million above the Governor’s proposal)

Building Aid $88,117 ESTIMATE(essentially the same as Governor’s proposal – includes some parts of the new capital project)

TOTAL Increase $2,053,116

Administrative Recommendations For the Additional $1.25 Million in State AidItem Rationale Total Cost

Reduce the appropriated fund balance

The appropriated fund balance is surplus revenue from the previous year that is applied to the next year’s budget.

Reducing the appropriated fund balance will provide a hedge against volatility in future state school aid allocations. We can slowly build the appropriated fund balance back up in years when the tax levy and state aid will not raise enough revenue to balance the budget. Using fund balance as a revenue serves to lower the tax levy.

$800,000

Lower the Tax Levy

The tax cap number for Clarence is 3.11%. The original proposed tax levy was 2.99%. Using $100,000 of additional state aid will lower the levy to 2.76%.

$100,000

Add (4) teacher aide positions

Three teacher aides for special education as mandated by the IEP’s, and one teacher aid for the high school LAC.

$135,000

Add (1) maintenance position

Restores a budget reduction. Helps to staff a project crew for painting and general maintenance in the buildings. Helps to avoid overtime costs.

$60,000

Add (2) teaching positions

One K-5 teacher to help lower class sizes in grades K-2One social studies teacher for the high school to increase elective choices, lower class sizes, and allow for AIS.

$160,000

2016-17 Budget: Assumptions

¨ The Tax Levy of 2.76% is well below the cap level.

¨ No staff reductions or program reductions – add 4 teacher aides, 2 teachers, 1 maintenance position

¨ We will use a combination state aid & miscellaneous revenues to balance the 2016-17 budget.

¨ The total spending increase is 3.6%.

¨ We are decreasing the appropriated fund balance by $800,000.

¨ The estimated tax rate is $14.62 per thousand.

¨ Homeowners will receive a rebate on the increase in school taxes if they qualify under the adopted budget.

¨ The administration is recommending the BOE consider a proposition for purchasing buses.

POLICY 2016 6215

1 of 2 Personnel

SUBJECT: PROBATION AND TENURE Probation Certified staff members shall be appointed to a probationary period by a majority vote of the Board of Education upon recommendation of the Superintendent of Schools. Classroom teachers, all other members of the teaching staff, administrators, directors, supervisors, principals, and all other members of the supervisory staff, except associate, assistant, and other superintendents, shall be appointed to a probationary period of four (4) years. The probationary period shall not exceed three (3) years for teachers previously appointed on tenure in this or another school district or BOCES within the state, provided that the teacher was not dismissed from the former district or BOCES and met the required annual professional performance review (APPR) rating in his/her final year of service there. Additionally, up to two (2) years of service as a regular substitute teacher may be applied toward probationary service. (This is referred to as Jarema Credit.) During the probationary period, a staff member shall be given assistance in adjusting to the new position, but the essential qualifications for acceptable performance shall be assumed because the staff member possesses the required certification or license.

A staff member's appointment may be discontinued at any time during his/her probationary period upon the recommendation of the Superintendent and by majority vote of the Board. Any person not recommended for tenure appointment will be notified in writing by the Superintendent no later than 60 days before his/her probationary period expires. Tenure The Board will follow all applicable statutes regarding tenure. At the expiration of the probationary period or within six months prior, thereto, the Superintendent shall make a written report to the Board recommending for appointment on tenure 1) those non-teaching certified staff members who successfully completed their probationary period in the District, and 2) teachers and principals who have been found competent, efficient, and satisfactory, and who have received the APPR rating of effective or highly effective in at least three of the preceding four years. If a teacher or principal receive an APPR rating of ineffective in their final probationary year, the Board may not award tenure, but may extend that teacher's or principal's probationary time by an additional year. The teacher or principal may be eligible for immediate tenure if he/she successfully appeals the ineffective rating. The Board may then—by a majority vote—appoint on tenure any or all of the persons recommended by the Superintendent. When the initial probationary period expires, a teacher or principal will remain on probationary status until the end of the school year in which he/she received APPR ratings of effective or highly effective. The Board may also grant tenure contingent upon a teacher's or principal's receipt of a minimum APPR rating in the final year of the probationary period.
