The FY2011 Proposed Budget Is Driven by

The FY2011 proposed budget is driven by three key factors:
Special Education Mandates:

The cost of special education continues to be a key factor in the development of the school district budget.
The three major cost components include out of district tuition, transportation services, and contracted
services. In FY2011, the special education budget is projected to increase by $1,366,734 or 36% due to
out-of-district tuition increases and the use of one-time Circuit Breaker Extraordinary Relief funds in
FY2010. Circuit Breaker reimbursement is projected conservatively at $830,000 for FY2011.
Health Care Benefits:

The cost of health care continues to rise, and for FY2011, is expected to increase by 10% or $407,100.
Franklin’s Insurance Advisory Committee continues to meet to explore options to contain costs and keep
premium increases to a minimum. In recent years, we have been fortunate to have had the support of
most of the collective bargaining units in implementing plan changes to obtain significant cost savings for
both the town and its employees. We are encouraged by this level of collaboration as we investigate
further cost containment measures.
Personnel Salaries and Contractual Obligations:

The FY2011 proposed budget includes funding for all known and anticipated collective bargaining
increases. The overall salary recommendation does not include costs for employees who are expected to
be absent due to an unpaid leave of absence. The net increase in personnel costs with the addition of 1.5
ELL teachers is $381,705, or 1%. One-time offsets from revolving accounts have been applied to keep
increases within reasonable levels
Human resources continue to be our most valuable asset as indicated by the fact that eighty-two percent of
the FY2011 budget is comprised of salaries and health benefits.

2009 MCAS PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS
The district’s analysis of the 2009 MCAS data continues to identify the Franklin Public School System as a “high
performance” district. This continues to be an important milestone for the district as the target scores for ELA
(85.4 to 90.2) and Mathematics (76.5 to 84.3) have again been increased in the “race to the top” score of 90-100 CPI
points reflective of advanced/proficient performance.
AGGREGATE:
 Students in the aggregate (all students) continue to out perform the state on the same tests in English Language
Arts (ELA), Mathematics, and Science/Technology Engineering (STE).
 Performance on all district grade level tests, including three Long Composition administrations in grades 4, 7,
and 10, reflect a “High” (80-89.9) or “Very High” (90-100) performance rating, outperforming the state in CPI
points on every test and by at least one performance level on all but three tests (higher CPI in grade 3, 8 and 10
ELA, same performance level of High or Very High).
 The 9th and 10th grade STE Biology test identified a Very High CPI (92.0), outperforming the state by one
performance rating.
SUBGROUPS:
 All Special Education subgroups in grades 3-10 outperformed comparable state subgroups in each of the subject
tests. On two tests (grades 3 Reading and Math) students scored in the same performance category as the state.
This may in part be due to students’ first experience in taking the state tests. On all other tests, this subgroup
scored 1 to 2 performance ratings above that of the state.
 All Low Income subgroups outperformed comparable state subgroups in each tested area as identified by either
a higher CPI score or higher performance rating.
83% of ALL Franklin students performed at the Advanced/Proficient Levels in ELA compared to 67% across the
state.
74% of ALL Franklin students performed at the Advanced/Proficient levels in Mathematics compared to 57%
across the state.
ADEQUATE YEARLY PROGRESS (AYP) FOR 2009

The district met Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) for 2009 in ELA and Mathematics as identified by a “No Status”
AYP label. The district has maintained this status for four consecutive years. While the district’s aggregate and
subgroups in ELA met AYP, the district will need to improve subgroup performance in Mathematics on the 2010
tests in order to continue to meet annual yearly progress. A “No” label attached to a testing population for a second
year would move Franklin’s Mathematics AYP into an Improvement Year 1– Subgroups accountability status. The
district is taking several steps to ensure improved subgroup mathematics performance.
English Language Arts AYP Data for 2009 – Very High – On Target (improved within target range)
 Franklin met the AYP expectations in the aggregate and Low Income subgroup in ELA in grades 3-5. However,
the special education subgroup in grades 3-5 did not meet AYP expectations for ELA.
 The district met AYP expectations in the aggregate and all subgroups in ELA in grades 6-8.
 In grades 9-12, Franklin met AYP expectations in the aggregate but did not meet AYP expectations for ELA in
the Special Education subgroup.
Mathematics AYP Data for 2009 – High – No Change (gain was equivalent to baseline plus or minus the target
range)
 Franklin met the AYP expectations in the aggregate in Mathematics in grades 3-5. However the district did not
meet AYP subgroup expectations at this level.
 The district met AYP expectations in the aggregate in Mathematics in grades 6-8 but did not meet AYP
expectations in Special Education or Low Income subgroups in grades 6-8 for Mathematics.
 Franklin met AYP expectations in Mathematics in the aggregate in grades 9-12. AYP expectations in
Mathematics for the Special Education subgroup were not met.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
FY2011 Franklin School District Proposed Budget
Q. Why should the community support the budget?
The commitment to educate our children is a commitment that the residents of Franklin have
long supported. Horace Mann, the father of public education and integral to Franklin’s historical
legacy stated, “Education then, beyond all devices of human origin, is the equalizer of conditions
of men, the great balance wheel of the social machinery”.
The School Committee, administration and staff developed a fiscally responsible budget that
promotes student achievement, protects core programs and is respectful of the current economic
climate. The FY 2011 proposed budget requests a 3.89% increase to maintain level services. We
have used grants, stimulus and revolving funds to reduce the budget gap and we are requesting
what we needed to maintain the program we currently have in place for our students.
Q. Why is the school district continually facing budget gaps?
The Town of Franklin, as many municipalities in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, is faced

with structural deficits as costs and service needs rise faster than the available tax revenue.
Health insurance, retiree health insurance, contractual obligations and unfunded federal and state
mandates result in cost increases that outpace available tax revenues. To improve municipal
finances we will need innovative ideas to generate new sources of revenue and we will look to
collaborate with the town to build efficiencies into our budget and operations.
Q. What has the School Committee and administration done to budget in a fiscally
conservative manner?
Through partnerships we have co-written grants to help offset a variety of costs. We have
engaged with the Town to implement a number of energy savings through our efforts to “Go
Green”. Solar panels will be constructed on Parmenter Elementary school to reduce energy costs.
Water gardens have been constructed at Franklin High School and one will be established at
Parmenter also. The Town and School Department have consolidated facilities and technology
services to reduce costs. The School Department has been implementing a variety on online
services for employees to reduce personnel costs and to limit paper consumption. Over the last
ten years we have significantly reduced and eliminated programs and positions while meeting
higher educational standards and accountability requirements as established by federal and state
regulations.
Q. What other federal and state funds support the operating budget?
Franklin actively seeks federal and state grants to supplement the operational budget. During FY
2010 Franklin received $2,784,792 in grant funds to provide additional staffing and supplemental
services to meet the needs of students.
Q. What are some other sources of financial support for the Franklin Public Schools?
The district receives significant financial support from the community. Grants from the Franklin
Education Foundation support teachers directly. Other parent and community sponsored groups
help support our programs. The Music Boosters, all the Athletic booster clubs, and the Parent
Communication Councils (PCC) support the mission and vision of the school district. Without
their financial support many of our needs would go unmet.
Q. How will class size be impacted by this budget?
Class sizes will remain reasonable. While some classes will be outside of the School
Committee’s recommended guidelines, many will be within these guidelines. Class size will be
reviewed and intra-district reallocation of positions will be implemented to minimize inequities
in class size
Q. Will user fees be increased?
The FY 2011 budget does not require any increases to fees, nor does it require new fees to be
implemented.
Q. How does per pupil spending in Franklin compare with spending in other
Massachusetts communities?
A Franklin Public School education is a tremendous value when you compare achievement
results with the local cost to taxpayers. Based on data released by the Massachusetts Department
of Elementary and Secondary Education Office of Finance, as of FY 2009 Franklin's per pupil
expenditures are $10,010 while the state average is $13,060.
Q. How will the FY 2011 budget impact educational services?
 Class sizes will be reasonable

 Special Education mandates will be funded
 Programs for English Language Learners will be funded
 Late bus will be reinstated at the Middle and High School
 No increases to transportation, athletic or extracurricular fees
 Current educational programs will be in place
 Art, music, athletic and extracurricular programs remain intact
