TOWN OF BARNSTABLE NEWSLETTER

April 2017

From the Town Manager

Dear Reader:

Spring is in the air and new beginnings are around every corner. The DPW is starting their annual clean-up activities and economic activity is blooming all over town. We will look forward to watching things flourish as the season progresses.

We presented the Capital Improvements Plan to the Town Council on March 23rd and the first public hearing is scheduled for April 6th. We will be submitting the Operating Budget to the Town Council in May.

The Town Council approved the appointment of Elizabeth Jenkins as Director of Growth Management at their March 23rd meeting. Congratulations, Elizabeth!

Congratulations to the Barnstable Youth Commission on their successful Community Substance Abuse Prevention Forum and 3rd Annual Youth Summit. It is inspiring to see our youth taking a leadership role with such a challenging and life changing subject.

National Volunteer Week this year is recognized during April 23-29, 2017. This year’s theme is “Volunteers Make The World A Brighter Place”. On behalf of the Town of Barnstable, I would like to publicly thank all of those volunteers who give countless hours to serve on our various boards, committees and commissions. And where would we be without the dedicated volunteers who work with our Recreation Division’s Beach Sticker/Parking Permit program? Or our Senior Services volunteers who do everything from greeting visitors at the front desk to helping prepare taxes during this time of year? Or those volunteers who work assisting our staff with our Shellfish propagation program? The Barnstable Police Department’s Volunteers in Police Service (VIPS) is widely recognized as an outstanding volunteer program with volunteers serving at the front desk and as couriers and they are a vital part of the Hyannis Main Street and West Villages Police Substations. Barnstable Public Schools have hundreds of volunteers on a daily basis. We are truly grateful for all of you who give back to your community and we hope that you will continue to do so. Thank you for your service!

Happy Spring! Mark S. Ells

Superintendent’s Corner

Greetings!

This month we presented the Fiscal Year 2018 Superintendent’s Recommended Budget to the Barnstable School Committee and Barnstable residents. The FY18 Budget serves as an initial spending plan outlining expenditures to provide a comprehensive, high quality instructional program, while supporting the social and emotional learning needs of Barnstable’s 5,000 students. Additionally, the FY18 Budget details areas necessary for the operation and management of Barnstable’s nine school sites, as well as administrative offices. I am proud that our budget process is transparent, flexible, and reflective of student need. Importantly, the FY18 Budget was developed with consideration of efficient allocation of resources, and in some instances, reallocation of resources.

The focus of our budgeting process is our students. Our financial resources are aligned to meet the continuum of student need across all classrooms, and support social, emotional, and academic development. In summary, the school department budget for the current year (FY17) is projected to increase $1.6 million (2.4%) to $67,654,400. The increase allows for contractual salary and wage increases for staff, a $340,000 contractual increase for bus transportation, and a program enhancement to provide a continuum of services to students with specific learning needs.

Most importantly, our FY18 Budget retains current staffing levels. Our employees comprise close to 80% of our budget and are our greatest asset and resource. Whether ensuring our students have a healthy breakfast to start their school day, maintaining a safe, positive school environment, providing co-curricular activities, designing a viable curriculum aligned to state standards, or providing a high quality instructional program, each position in the FY18 Budget serves an integral role in supporting and preparing all students for college and career success.

We look forward to community participation and feedback throughout our budget development process. Engaging parents, community members, and educators in the budgeting process creates opportunities to ensure a budget reflective of student need and community values.

I am honored to lead our school district as we support the hopes and dreams of our students.
