2. Guests / Presentations
a. FY19 Budget Presentation

document will be posted on Wednesday (hence in FM Thursday)

Superintendent recommendation to continue to be worked with the Budget subcommittee

vision and mission have informed the goals and objectives

overview of budget process to date (add link to what was shared earlier)

Goodman and Ahern presenting first view of FY 2019 budget

level service budget summary

critical needs identified

varied approach across the buildings in regard to providing the guidance and counseling support; looking to do a district wide study to look to augment changes in a more efficient way

proposing to include the DESA piece as a pilot

this page of critical needs is effectively being deferred due to "level service budget" hence phrased as "long term objective"

Key item on staffing to be budget neutral across the district esp. in regards to continued enrollment declines

critical needs that may not be addressed due to budget issues

ECDC proposal could be budget neutral or revenue generating; break even is 9 students

other critical needs that could be budget neutral depending upon student participation

other critical needs would be looking to increase some specific support services
given prior comment on staffing being budget neutral overall

looking to close a budget gap of close to $1M (including revolving fund account offsets)

interesting numbers, lots of story there

summary page of budget presentation

to budget subcommittee to continue to work, bring back to School Committee for March 13 and then again for a budget hearing March 27 in advance of an April vote

We don't have enough to do what we need to do. How do we fund our requirements? Level service doesn't meet the needs.

"Tri-County Regional Vocational Technical High School recently presented Cory’s Cause to the senior class. 

Cory Palazzi, of Taunton, is permanently disabled after suffering a brain injury caused by a heroin overdose which resulted after first becoming addicted to prescription opioids from an athletic injury. Palazzi now struggles to walk and has to use a wheelchair at times. He is legally blind, his speech is slow and he has trouble controlling certain muscles which makes him unable to do simple everyday tasks without help. 

The presentation was given to seniors as a part of the Positive Attitudes for Work Success program. PAWS prepares students for commitment to productive citizenship, gainful employment, personal responsibility and the setting of high standards of achievement in both vocational and academic courses. Seniors participate in a monthly seminar to address topics of concern in their transition from high school to college, career and/or military. All students are required to participate in the PAWS Program."

Tri-County Regional Presents Cory’s Cause to the Senior Class

Party for a Cure - March 2

"Why I'm running for Dana Farber:

Sometimes in life, a “Thank You” doesn't seem enough to convey how much you appreciate and treasure what someone has done for you.

In July of 2014, my mom, Jeanne Burchard was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. We chose Dana Farber for her treatment because of their excellent reputation. At the time of her diagnosis we were told that she had 2-2-1/2 years to live. Thanks to the treatment of Dr. Sinclair and the amazing nurses, my mom is still with us, and doing great. Thank you Dr. Sinclair and Dana Farber!

Fast forward to May of 2016. I had noticed that I had numerous enlarged lymph nodes. After many tests, my doctor told me that I had stage 3 Follicular Lymphoma. This was the last thing I was expecting but I had this unwavering feeling that I would be ok. Once again, our family chose Dana Farber.

We knew from our previous experience that Dana Farber treats the whole person ... not just the cancer. During my treatment, my caring nurse, Mary Beth Proulx, would sit with me while I needed to cry or talk about feelings I didn't quite understand. This was my safe place where I could let my defenses down and truly show how scared, confused and angry I was. I wanted to be strong and keep everything as normal as possible for my husband and 2 girls, but sometimes I needed to be vulnerable. Mary Beth helped me do that. My Lymphoma is now in remission and I feel awesome! Thank you Dr. Tahir, Mary Beth and Dana Farber!

This past May, my mother in law, Kathy Luccini, was diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer. Dana Farber and Dr. Sinclair, once again, were there for us. As Kathy began treatment, they treated her with respect by answering questions, involving her in treatment options and providing her with top-notch care. Kathy is doing great and back to playing golf! Thank you Dana Farber.

When I run, it's not only for my mom, Kathy and myself, but for all the people who have gone through this journey. This is one small way I can show my appreciation for the care and compassion we received.

On April 16, 2018, hundreds of Dana-Farber runners will take to the streets to participate in the 122nd Boston Marathon®. The DFMC team runs and raises funds with thousands of special people in mind. From Hopkinton to Boston, we carry thoughts of those people every step of the way.

Thank you for your support! Together, we're headed toward the ultimate finish line: a world without cancer. It would mean the world to me if you would consider making a donation."
