2010 School Board Budget

 

Mayor Palombo opened this section of the meeting and introduced School Superintendent Vincent Palmieri, School Administrator Laurie Ryan, and School Board President Deborah McClees. The Mayor invited Mr. Palmeri to present his comments on the defeated School Board Budget.

 

Vincent Palmeri, Superintendent of Schools, spoke on behalf of the Upper Township Board of Education with regards to the School Budget that was defeated at the April 20th election. He explained the Budget process in that it is the Township Committee’s task to recommend whether to approve the School Budget as is; or to direct a specific reduction of the budget and recommend what areas to cut. It is the School Board’s task to consider the recommendations and finally approve which budget items to decrease. He stated that both the School Board and the Township Committee had some difficult questions and difficult decisions to make. The Board had from April 20th to April 28th to get the Budget information to the Township Committee for their review so that the Committee could make recommendations. He requested the record to reflect that at no time did anyone from the School district feel pressured to adhere to the recommendations of the Township Committee. He further explained the Upper Township Board of Education has not met as of this date (date of the election until today). He reported that he and the School Administration would meet with the School Board for a special meeting on Thursday, giving the Administrators until then to come up with a potential budget to present to the School Board. A resolution must be accomplished and sent to the State of New Jersey by May 19th . He further commented that the views and recommendations of the Township Committee as well as the public would be taken into consideration when developing the potential budget.

 

Debbie McClees, Upper Township Board of Education President: She reported that this is 3rd time in five years that the budget has been defeated. On April 20th the budget was defeated by just over 200 votes. Since then the Superintendent and the Business Administrator have provided information about the operation of the district and details about the defeated budget which is more than 4% lower than last year’s budget. The administrative cost per pupil of $16,250 is well below the regional average of $17,400; and $1,000 less than the State average. Ms. McClees asked the Committee to keep in mind that the budget that was presented to the public proposed a reduction of four full time and four part time staff (which includes four Certified Teachers, three Special Education teachers, and one Attendance Officer--a position that is mandates by the State).

 

Jim Arsenault, Board of Education, Vice President and Chair of the Board’s Negotiations Committee: reported that he was asked by the Mayor and Committeeman Conrad about the status of teachers’ negotiations efforts. Mr. Arsenault explained that there are 4 separate negotiation units that comprise the entirety of the employees that work for the Upper Township Schools; all with contracts expiring June 30, 2010. Mr. Arsenault explained that as urged by the Governor they have been in discussions with all four bargaining units to consider a salary freeze even before the budget’s defeat, and after. He reported that he is unable to report an agreement of all of the bargaining units for a salary freeze although they are working in good faith; and to this date salary concession talks continue and progress is being made.


 

Mayor Palombo asked what is anticipated with regard to teacher attrition. Mr. Arsenault responded that last year as part of the budget negotiations the School Board offered a separation initiative to employees at the higher end of the pay scale to result in salary savings. Several teachers agreed to the separation and separated June 30, 2009 prior to this budget season. He continued that he is aware that there are at least two teachers that have indicated they will be retiring from the district as of June 30, 2010. He commented that he would trust that the Administration and Superintendent would take that into consideration when making decisions with regard to salary cuts.


 

The Mayor asked if there were any possibility to negotiate health care costs. He commented that the Township has realized significant savings through renegotiations of Township employee health care policies.

Mr. Arsenault responded that all of the bargaining units are aware that the administration wants to see cost savings out of the health care benefits program. They are continually shopping for competitive rates with regard to health benefit renewal rates and are working as ardently as possible through the negotiations process to realize those savings.


 

Committeeman Conrad: Commented on the deadline imposed by State Statue of May 22, 2010 for Employees to pay 1.5% of their salary toward the cost of their health benefits. Mr. Arsenault replied that all parties are aware of the deadline although they are still waiting for guidance from the State Department of Education on what the regulations mean when fully enacted.


 

Public Speakers


 

Janet Younghans, of 1957 Tuckahoe Rd, Petersburg: read comments into the record speaking as a “teacher, mother and tax payer”. She asked Upper Township to support the school budget.


 

Kristie Brown Chisolm, of 18 Evergreen Drive: Spoke in favor of the budget. She commented that the people that voted down the budget only represent 15% of the Township population. It is her opinion that the majority of those that voted are senior citizens. She also gave statistics on how good our schools are compared to neighboring communities.


 

Ted Kingston, of Strathmere: Spoke against the budget. He spoke in favor of asking the teachers to take a pay freeze. He further commented that it should not affect the ability to provide a quality education. Mr. Kingston asked why the details of the negotiations are not public. Leon Costello, Township Auditor responded that details with regard to contract negotiations are not public during the negotiation phase; and when asked if the budget included anything for the construction of a new school, Mr. Costello responded that it did not.


 

Jan Christensen of 9 Heritage Dr. Beesley’s Point: Thanked the Committee for their work with the School Board. He stated that he has been a resident of Upper Township for over twenty-two years, that he is a former president of the Board of Education for the City of Northfield, and a manager at Atlantic Electric. He commented that he understands the difficulty of making the decisions necessary to reduce the budget. He further commented that he agrees with Mr. Kingston in that a pay freeze to the teachers should not diminish the quality of education.


 

Dale Goodreau, 23 Brewhaus Lane: Suggested that Administrative travel be cut from the School Budget. He commented that it should result in a savings of approximately $150,000.


 

Thomas Rossi, 605 S Commonwealth Ave: Spoke against the School Budget. He thanked the School Board and the teachers for providing a quality education. Mr. Rossi also commended the Township Committee for doing a wonderful job staying within the Township Budget and avoiding a local purpose tax.


 

Terry O’Reilly, of 3 Diane Avenue, Marmora: speaking as the husband of a school teacher, commented that he is in favor of a school budget that would include some administrative cuts as well as eliminating courtesy bussing.


 

Gretchen Pickets of 49 West Katherine Avenue, Seaville: long time area resident spoke in favor of the budget.


 

Michael Crowell of 200 Old Tuckahoe Road, Petersburg: thanked the teachers and staff for providing his son, who is a special education student, with a great school experience.


 

Michael Lindner, of 109 Putnam Ave, Strathmere: commented that he spent 44 years as an educator and he is in favor of reducing the school budget. He questioned the Board on the wage increases that the teachers have received in the past.

After some discussion by the Committee, Mayor Palombo commented that as a community we have a responsibility to educate our children. We were elected to be representatives of the entire Township and have a responsibility to be as good stewards of Township funds as possible. He continued that this is a more difficult year than last as demonstrated by the vote. After further discussion motion was made by Frank Conrad, second by Curtis Corson to reduce the school budget as follows: that the School Budget be reduced by $450,000 which would equate to a school tax reduction from 4.5˘ to 2.5˘ with the following recommended areas to cut:

TOWNSHIP OF UPPER
CAPE MAY COUNTY
RESOLUTION NO. 104-2010

Resolution to Decrease Tax Levy

For 2010/2011

Upper Township

School District Budget


 


 

WHEREAS, the Board of Education of the Upper Township School District submitted to the electorate on April 20, 2010, a proposal to levy $22,550,328 in taxes to fund the ensuing school year 2010/2011, and


 

WHEREAS, said tax levy in the amount of $22,550,328 was defeated by the electorate by 210 votes (1,231 yes to 1,441 no), and


 

WHEREAS, State statute NJSA 18A:22-37 requires the Governing Body, after consultation with the UPPER TOWNSHIP BOE, to conduct a “municipal review” of the defeated budget to determine whether they wish to approve the existing tax levy or reduce said levy, and to certify to the County Board of Taxation the total amount so determined; and


 

WHEREAS, we have consulted with the UPPER TOWNSHIP BOE, and we recognize the UPPER TOWNSHIP BOE budget has already lost state aid and we recognize their commitment to fiscal responsibility. However, we also recognize in a representative democracy we have a duty to represent the will of the voters expressed in the recent school election; and,


 

WHEREAS, the state statute requires that a tax levy reduction must “not adversely affect the district’s ability to provide a thorough and efficient education” and,


 

WHEREAS, the Township conducted the required “municipal review” and found the UPPER TOWNSHIP BOE is $3,777,803 above the required state minimum school tax levy. The Township also concluded it does not wish to recommend any program or position cuts which could adversely affect a “thorough and efficient” education, and


 

THEREFORE, the Township’s recommendation to both lower the levy and avoid any adverse impact on a “thorough and efficient education” is to:


 


 

THERFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that for the above stated reasons, the Township of Upper in the County of Cape May hereby decreases the Upper Township School District tax levy from $22,550,328 to $22,100,328 thereby reducing the tax burden on our residents from 4.5 cents to 2.5 cents without negatively affecting the number of district employees or the number of programs in an already fiscally sound school district; and


 

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Township Committee hereby certifies to the Cape May County Board of Taxation the amounts necessary to be raised by taxation for school purposes with the Township of Upper:


 

Total Amount of Tax Levy for School Purposes $22,100,328


 

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that certified copies of this resolution be forwarded to: Cape May County Board of Taxation, Upper Township Board of Education, and the Superintendent of Schools for the County of Cape May.
