  highest quality 21st century education preschool through
  graduation. Through an active partnership with students,
  school personnel, families and community, the Manchester
  Public Schools will create safe, inclusive schools where equity is
  the norm and excellence is the goal. All students will be
  prepared to be lifelong learners and contributing members of
  society.

Manchester Public Schools - Board of Education Approved Budget 2022-2023
Equity
  Equity is achieved when student outcomes are not predicated by
  gender, race, ethnicity, first language, sexual orientation, class, or
  special needs and where all students reach a level of efficacy and
  competence that supports a rewarding and productive life. This
  requires elimination of the inequities that contribute to
  disproportionate learning and achievement by students of certain
  social groups while ensuring students are prepared for a productive
  and meaningful life.

Manchester Public Schools - Board of Education Approved Budget 2022-2023
Recover
  The following activities will be critical as we recover from the pandemic:

   ●    Continue to emphasize community building, healing, social emotional learning, improved mental and
        physical health, and time to pause and reflect regularly
   ●    Implement technology to support learning but identify how that is happening (is it helping with access to
        information, organization and efficiency or is it transforming learning) and be realistic about our
        expectations
   ●    Clearly indicate what is meant by mastery and identify how we will assess / know skills & concepts have
        been learned / mastered
   ●    Clearly define what quality feedback will look like, how it is provided, and its purpose is to enhance learning
        not judge performance
   ●    Determine what is essential to learn and what can be pared from learning experience using clear criteria
        which prepares students for the future without overwhelming them

        learning opportunities
Manchester Public Schools - Board of Education Approved Budget 2022-2023
Reimagine
  The following activities will be critical as we reimagine schools coming out of the pandemic:

   ●    Allow for flexibility of time and pacing as well as student voice, choice, and ownership, depending on
        student needs, learning styles, and interests to remove the limits of one-size-fits-all schooling
   ●    Connect work across content areas - as often as possible wherever possible - and to learner’s lives, our
        community, or the world
   ●    Ensure curricular experiences related to social justice and service learning are available to and expected of
        all learners
   ●    Ensure students have an opportunity to reflect on their work in order to ensure deep understanding of what
        they have learned, their strengths, and areas for growth
   ●    Ensure all learners - especially our youngest learners (K-2) and those still learning to read - have
        foundational skills in reading and writing and math (transitional classes/programs)
   ●    Nurture curiosity, passion, and skills of students to be lifelong learners who feel ownership of their
        education
   ●    Actively engage in conversations and actions necessary to move forward racial equity work of the district

The Future of Learning
  Today we are not just looking for problem solvers. We are looking for problem-finders, people
  with diverse interests — art, literature, science, anthropology — who can identify things that
  people want before people even know they want them.
  In the future, postsecondary education will be a hybrid ecosystem of company platforms, colleges
  and local schools, whose goal will be to create the opportunity for lifelong radical reskilling.
  Radical reskilling means I can take a front-desk hotel clerk and turn him into a cybersecurity
  technician. I can take an airline counter agent and turn her into a data consultant.
  Today, companies like Infosys, IBM or AT&T are all creating cutting-edge in-house universities —
  Infosys is building a 100-acre campus in Indianapolis designed to provide their employees and
  customers not just-in-case learning’ — material you might or might not need to master the job at
  hand — but just-in-time learning,’ offering the precise skills needed for the latest task.

                                                                     Ravi Kumar, President, Infosys

Education Funding in Connecticut
 •    Alliance District program was established in 2012 when Governor Malloy signed Public
      Act 12-116, An Act Concerning Educational Reform, into law.
 •    A central part of our effort to improve public education is to make sure that districts that
      need the most help are getting the extra support they need, and that's exactly what the
      Alliance District programs does. With this additional funding, districts are doing
      everything from focusing on early literacy to adding full-day kindergarten. It's a huge
      step forward, one that is led at local level to the benefit of every child in that district.

Safe Return to In-Person Instruction and Continuity of Services Plan
LEAs are required to publish a plan for the safe return to in-person instruction and continuity of services that includes the extent to
which the LEA has adopted policies and a description of any such policies on each of the following (section 2001(i)(1) of ARP):

Health and safety strategies:
  ●    universal and correct wearing of masks;
  ●    physical distancing (e.g., use of cohorts/podding, handwashing and respiratory etiquette);
  ●    cleaning and maintaining healthy facilities, including improving ventilation;
  ●    contact tracing in combination with isolation and quarantine, in collaboration with the State, local, territorial, and/or Tribal
       health departments;

Safe Return to In-Person Instruction and Continuity of Services Plan
Maintenance of Effort and Maintenance of Equity
Both requirements are intended to help ensure that States and LEAs do not use ARP ESSER funds to
reduce State and local financial support for education, which would have the effect of mitigating or
even eliminating the purpose of the ARP ESSER program, which is to provide the extra, supplemental
funding needed to maintain teaching and learning during and after the pandemic, safely reopen
schools and maintain operations for full-time, in-person instruction as soon as possible, and address
the effects of lost instructional time on students’ social, emotional, mental health, and academic
needs.
Safe Return to In-Person Instruction and Continuity of Services Plan
 ●   Manchester Public Schools involved a variety of stakeholders in the development of our Respond - Recover -
     Reimagine Safe Return to In-Person Instruction and Continuity of Services Plan 21-22
 ●   Survey data from students, parents, families, and staff (survey given May, 2021) was utilized to drive inital list of
     potential strategies. Information from the survey and draft strategies were shared with members of the Board of
     Education at their regular June meeting where development of the Respond - Recover - Reimagine Plan was on the
     public agenda. Both Board members and members of the public gave input verbally and through electronic means
     (email, social media etc.).
 ●   The plan was discussed with community members of the Board of Education's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
     Subcommittee.
 ●   Our Office of Family Engagement organized a parent focus group where the Superintendent collaborated with
     parents, including those who have previously participated in parent leadership programs, shared input on the
     Respond - Recover - Reimagine Safe Return to In-Person Instruction and Continuity of Services Plan 21-22.
 ●   Across multiple sessions, central office and building administrators, including pupil services administrators, school
     health coordinator, and Covid-19 Liason had input on the development of the plan.
 ●   Finally, local community based mental health providers were instrumental in developing the strategies and plans for
     addressing mental health.

Empower parents and guardians with the tools needed to support
their children's academic endeavors, including those skills
necessary to support technology use in the home
A new approach is needed to address chronic absence. While we will continue to
encourage students to attend school in person, we believe a much more flexible approach
is necessary. That approach will include expanded opportunities for remote learning along
with individual and small group in-person tutoring. As part of this work we will build
parent / guardian capacity to support learning in the home. In addition to those academic
supports, we are proposing an expansion of our family resource center staff to better and
more frequently support our families. This idea comes from the case manager model that
we have successfully implemented at Manchester Adult Education.

Prioritize the physical, emotional, and social well-being of all
students, families, and school staff

● There is an unprecedented level of stress on both students and staff
  members which must be addressed, both through social and emotional
  support and also through continued emphasis on public health safety
  measures. One focus area should be on additional behavioral and mental

Maintain and upgrade access to technology and connectivity
while strengthening remote pedagogy for the long term

●   MPS was previously 1:1 for students in grades 5 - 12. As a result of the pandemic, we are
    now 1:1 for all students in grades PK - 12, adding 5 grade levels to our device replacement
    cycle. At grades PK, K and 1, we are using ipads which are more expensive than
    chromebooks. In addition, laptops were donated for all high school students. We did not
    provide updated devices to all MPS staff last year and, as a result, will need to provide
    new and higher quality devices to support remote instruction along with the increased
    use of technology to support learning. Finally, we have invested in a significant number of
    programs to support remote learning which we would like to continue to use as we know
    how to use technology to transform learning.

  Increase
Supplement vs. Supplant
  Supplement means to build upon or add to; Supplant means to replace or
  take the place of.
  Federal law prohibits recipients of federal funds from replacing local funds
  with federal funds.
Minimum Budget Requirement (MBR)
 •   Connecticut’s MBR prohibits a municipality from budgeting less for education than it did the previous
     year, unless it meets specific exceptions. Towns whose local public school districts are Alliance
     Districts are not permitted to reduce educational expenditures and are not eligible for any of the
     MBR exceptions.

 •   The MBR was implemented to prevent towns from reducing their local spending on education and
     using state aid for education as a replacement for local funds, as well as to prevent towns from using
     state funds targeted for education for other purposes.
Minimum Budget Requirement (MBR)
 •   If a town fails to meet its MBR, the state can withhold the town’s Education Cost Sharing (ECS) funds
     in the amount of two times the difference between the town’s MBR and what the town actually
     budgeted for education.
About the Budget
   Objects- Object codes represent the categories (i.e. certified salaries,
   professional development, instructional supplies, vehicles, etc.) we use to
   build a budget.

   Locations- Locations are places where teaching and learning and related
   activities take place (schools, central office, magnet schools (tuition))

   Programs- Programs are essentially departments (ie. Language Arts, Math,
   Family and Consumer Science, Music etc.)

Per Pupil Expenditure
 •   Net current expenditures (NCE) are calculated as defined in Connecticut General Statutes (C.G.S.)
     Section 10-261(a)(3). NCE includes all current public elementary and secondary expenditures from all
     sources, excluding reimbursable regular education transportation, tuition revenue, capital
     expenditures for land, buildings and equipment, and debt service. The information for determining
     NCE is provided from the Education Financial System (EFS).
 •   Per pupil expenditure is calculated by dividing the NCE by the average daily membership from the
     October Public School Information System (PSIS) report.

                                          Manchester

   for the first $18,027.025 of the total cost including tuition, support, and
