Lets start by clearing out VP after all Bacon seems to think without Cathy HH she can handle everything and thats over 100,000.00 savings.
Healy can go this position is not a required position and a Secretary at a lower cost can handle Millers side jobs and that is another savings of over 100,000.00
Millers and Bacons pay can be cut as well. These salaries are more like a city than a rural. 40,000.00 from Miller and 50,000.00 from Bacon would be a sufficient salary .( How much do you really care about the kids Bacon and Miller?? Show us) Thats another 90,000.00.
So far we have saved you 290,000.00 .
Cutting Paras and teachers is not the way to run a school. This should be done at the top down not the other way around.
Let these cuts come from Administration NOT the schools or its programs OR Teachers and Paras .
Also, you wouldn't be having these kids leaving to go to Charter schools and school choice if you listened two years ago. In two short years this school has been in destruction mode since Miller came and has grown increasingly worst with Bacon and the VP. Yet, our SC has chosen to allow this and look at the mess PVRS is in.
Mark my words sure as I am sitting here typing Music, Sports , Band and Theater are on the chopping block because thats what she does.Than she will cry how she did not want to do this and how she had no choice .. SHE HAD CHOICES she just pissed away money and now has to find it the same way she destroyed Templeton and the NH school. I can BET her credentials were never checked. We found out more about her in less than a week but our SC ( God Bless their little hearts .. yes thats a southern slam) did nothing and allowed her in.
SC smarten up before its to late and change this mess.. YOU CREATED IT !
Kids nor their parents want to send them to this school. It's not gonna get better it's gonna get worst . School Choice does not even consider you anymore and thats a shame on you. What was once a school of choice for many is now the school people want to flee from. AGAIN, losing Mike Duprey has come to haunt you and Cathy HH will also be your downfall.
MAKE THE MEETING YOUR KIDS FUTURES DEPEND ON IT AND SHARE THIS WITH OTHER PARENTS.
NORTHFIELD — To live within the $14.2 million spending plan approved for next school year by the Pioneer Valley Regional School District’s four towns, administrators are facing another unanticipated $102,000 in cuts to budgeted items.
According to Superintendent Ruth Miller, the cuts will be needed to cover growing special education transportation costs and tuition for an increasing number of students leaving the district through School Choice and for charter schools.THIS IS SHAMEFUL AND AGAIN YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO RUN A SCHOOL OR BALANCE A BUDGET BUT YOU SURE CAN GIVE THEM OFFICE PERSONAL OF YOURS RAISES.
“We had more kids choice out,” she said.WHY IS THAT MILLER ?? FOR ONCE TELL THE TRUTH! ITS YOU AND THE PEOPLE YOU HIRED @PVRS YOU DESTROYED OUR SCHOOL!!TEACHERS KIDS DEPENDED ON YOU FIRED WHEN IN FACT YOU SHOULD OF BEEN FIRED LAST YEAR!
Based on budget documents from the district, $553,747 was budgeted for charter school and school choice students last year, while this year’s figures are looking more like $715,221. Miller said she had only anticipated needing about $654,294, making for an approximately $50,000 gap.
Additionally, she suspects the approximately $250,000 spent on special education transportation last year will increase substantially.
“There wasn’t any fat in that budget,” Warwick Community School Principal Elizabeth Musgrave said during the meeting.
Still, Miller said since the meeting she’s met with the principals and believes cuts are possible by small adjustments to substitute teaching budgets and supply budgets, for example.
“Once you do all those little things, it kind of does enough to make up for reductions and be able to keep all our teaching staff, and that was really important to the principals,” she said.
At the suggestion of Bernardston Elementary School Principal Bob Clancy, administrators pink-slipped five paraprofessionals from across the district before the June 30 deadline and plan to rehire as the budget evolves.THIS IS SHAMEFUL
“Many of them will be reinstated, but we’ve written to them, we’ve let them know that this is a process,” Miller said. “We clearly can’t hire everyone back … When you have a reduction in kids and a reduction in staff, it makes sense that there wouldn’t be as big of a need for the paraprofessionals.”THIS IS YOUR FAULT MILLER BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO CLUE HOW TO BALANCE A BUDGET OR LEAD AND FIRED TEACHERS WHO DISAPPROVED OF YOU OR SPOKE OUT STOP LYING.
During the budget subcommittee meeting, School Committee members shared their own ideas for where cuts could be made, which included eliminating Pioneer’s assistant principal position and avoiding paying Administrative Assistant to the Superintendent Pam Lawrence an additional $14,000 for digitizing documents.WE PAY HER HOW MUCH!! However, the committee had mixed opinions and didn’t reach any definitive decisions.LAWRENCE IS NO MORE THAN A HIGH SALARY SECRETARY !
Administrators will explain their ideas for further cuts during tonight’s School Committee meeting, which will be held at Pioneer at 7.
