OUR MISSION
The mission of the Litchfield Public Schools is to provide all students with appropriate academic and personal learning experiences within a safe and supportive educational environment. In partnership with our parents and community, we challenge every learner to acquire the knowledge, skills, and personal attributes needed to become productive and self-directed citizens.
Superintendent’s Letter of Transmittal
Dear Members of the Litchfield Community,
What follows is a commitment to continue to improve programs and provide opportunities for our students. And, what follows is the Board of Education’s request for the financial resources to fulfill that commitment in the 2016 – 2017 school year. It represents a $340,000 increase, or 2.00%. Education is a ‘people business;’ thus 77% of the budget represents salaries and benefits, which are increasing by only 0.4% despite a 3.42% overall increase in our contractual obligations. The remainder of the increase is in Special Education costs, based on actuals for next year, and technology, which requires a replacement of the 1-to-1 devices for our Middle School students.
This budget is built on what the Litchfield community values – opportunities for individualized programming and the advantages of small class sizes. There are a few decreases in staff while at the same time new programming has been developed. Next year we have expanded Spanish at the Intermediate School to three times (3 x’s) weekly beginning with Grade 4. We have also budgeted for a new Spanish textbook series beginning in Grade 4. At the High School, we are developing an alternative education program, called the Litchfield Legacy School, designed to meet some students’ needs within Litchfield, rather than sending them afield. This program is being accomplished with no new costs to the district.
One of the notable budget increases supports the replacement of the 1-to-1 computing devices at the Middle School at a cost of $90,000. The current devices are five (5) years old and will have exceeded their life expectancy at the end of this school year. There is also a planned $75,000 replacement of the oldest desktops throughout the district, beginning with those which are six (6) and seven (7) years old. We have also budgeted $110,000 for the 4th year of our technology lease with the Town.
Another increase comes with a planned restructuring of Food Services. For the past three (3) years, we have been under contract with Chartwells. Next year, we are entering into a shared services agreement; and with two other districts, we will hire a regional director who will supervise the cafeterias at our 11 schools. Based on the past year’s actuals, we have budgeted $29,000 to cover both the replacement equipment we’ll need when Chartwells vacates and any potential loss we may incur in our first year. We have three goals for this program restructure: 1.) to improve the quality of the food we serve our children; 2. to collaborate with neighboring districts; and 3.) to break even financially.
This budget is a responsible budget; it is respectful of the needs of our students and of the wider community. It is as clear and forthright as possible and includes easily recognizable line items and expenses. Every increase and decrease has a documented rationale. A reduction in Regular Instruction, for example, does not mean we are cutting our teachers’ classroom supplies; it means that the proposed Spanish textbook is less expensive than the K – 5 enVisionMath2.0 we budgeted in 2015 - 2016. An increase in Administrative Services, for example, reflects a plan for curriculum writing and publication through a new Internet-based platform called Rubicon Atlas, as well as an uptick in professional development costs and in legal fees, based on our actuals.
Our budget is understandably a collection of static numbers with a bottom line. But, more accurately it is the foundation on which we are building our future through the education of our children. Ours is a people business, and this budget continues Litchfield’s tradition of supporting the individual growth and development of every child. Simply put, it’s what’s best for kids.
Respectfully submitted,Lynn K. McMullinSuperintendent of Schools “Education is the most
important weapon with which
we can change the world.” Nelson Mandela
A CORE BELIEF IN PRESENTING THIS BUDGET
The Litchfield school system is a community jewel. It draws families to the community and makes them want to
stay. Students succeed here; and, in return, their success brings both pride to Litchfield and immeasurable
advancements to a world-wide community which will build its future on the contributions of its youngest citizens.
Litchfield’s Board, staff, and parents have dedicated themselves to meeting the needs of all our children through
rich and diverse academic programming and a commitment to 21st Century knowledge and skills, world language,
athletic competition, music, and the visual arts. Children also benefit from small class sizes, volunteerism, and
community-rich programs in which they are provided the opportunity to say ‘thank you’ and to give back to their
dedicated community through performances, Veteran’s Day programs, service projects, food drives, good news,
and celebrations.
