A
I
would
like
to
call
the
meeting
to
order.
It
is
6,
34
p.m.
A
Thank
you
to
the
trustees,
mr
lotion,
ms
o'connor
kathy,
hoey,
there's
your
clerk
and
to
the
audience
that's
here
meeting
his
call
to
order.
I
would
like
to
ask
everybody
to
please
stand
for
the
pledge
pledge
allegiance
to
the
flag
of
the
united
states
of
america
and
to
the
republic
for
which
it
is.
A
Can
I
please
have
a
could
I
please
have
a
motion
to
open
the
budget
hearing.
B
A
So
at
this
point,
what
I'd
like
to
do
is,
I
would
like
to
present
assistant
superintendent
o'connor,
and
I
guess
this
is
all
yours.
Thank
you
very
much.
C
Thank
you
and
welcome
to
everybody
who's
here,
andy
alves
and
whoever's
out
there
in
youtube
land.
I
guess
this
is
our
formal
budget
hearing.
I
know
the
budget
was
adopted
at
our
last
board
of
education
meeting
and
we
have
this
this
hearing
just
to
go
over
the
full
budget.
We've
had
a
series
of
meetings
where
we've
presented
different
pieces
of
the
budget,
and
here
we're
just
going
to
have
you
know
a
summary
of
everything
that
we've
presented
since
january.
We've
been
meeting
for
quite
a
while
now
so.
D
C
Okay,
so
we'll
as
we
go
through
the
powerpoint,
the
superintendent
rich
lotion-
and
I
will
you
know-
take
a
turn
in
a
few
of
the
slides
as
we
go
along.
So
I'll
start
it
off
by
just
again
welcoming
everybody
to
our
formal
budget
hearing.
C
We'll
just
talk
about
the
proposed
budget
is
503
million
dollars,
half
a
billion,
that's
quite
a
big
budget.
This
year
our
increase
is
48
million
dollars
and
the
increase
percentage
is
10.68
and
we'll
go
through
this
and
I'll
just
mention
now
that
our
tax
levy
increase
is
zero
dollars.
So,
although
we're
increasing
the
budget
by
48
million,
we
have
the
revenues
to
balance
that
budget
and
we
won't
be
increasing
the
tax
levy
and
as
we
go
through
the
the
presentation
we'll
see
where
that
increase
of
48
million
dollars
is.
C
At
the
last
meeting
when
I
presented
the
revenue,
the
state
was
a
little
bit
late
in
their
budget,
so
I
didn't
have
the
final
state
numbers
which
we
have
now
so
in
january,
that
was
the
governor's
budget
and
what
we
talked
about.
At
the
last
meeting
we
talked
about
overall
statewide,
there
was
a
two
billion
dollar
increase
for
education
for
brentwood.
C
So
we
were
owed
quite
more
quite
a
bit
more
than
three
percent,
so
we
fell
into
that
second
category
of
getting
fifty
percent
increase
or
fifty
percent
of
what
we're
actually
owed
in
foundation
aid.
When
the
april
budget
came
around
and
it
was
finalized,
the
state
budget
again
about
a
week
late
again.
Overall,
it
was
about
a
two
billion
dollar
increase
statewide.
C
But
when
we
actually
saw
our
numbers,
they
actually
decreased
a
little
bit.
So
we
ended
up
with
about
a
53
million
dollar
increase,
so
we
lost
three
million
dollars
and
that
decrease
came
from
foundation
aid
almost
totally
so
that
for
next
year,
2324
the
following
year,
we
should
be
getting
our
final
phase
in
of
foundation
aid.
So
if
something
shifted
in
a
formula
or
if
it
didn't,
I
get
we'll
get
that
3
million
back
in
23
24
school
year.
C
As
long
as
you
know
the
state's
able
to
sustain
that
and
that's
written
into
law.
So
there's
a
good
chance.
The
state
will
do
that
because
when
when
they
came
out
with
the
settlement
in
state
aid
foundation
eight
years
ago,
it
was
never
written
into
law
and
the
state
simply
didn't
follow
that
ruling
years
ago,
but
now
that
it's
written
into
law,
I
think
there's
a
much
better
chance
that
they
will
again
as
long
as
they
can
financially
sustain
it.
C
C
Out
of
that,
one
dollar,
73
cents
is
going
to
come
from
state
aid,
that's
a
much
higher
percentage
than
we've
gotten
in
years
past
and
we'll
kind
of
look
at
the
state
aid
trend
on
the
next
slide
in
terms
of
the
tax
levy
and
also
star
payments,
22
cents
out
of
every
dollar
would
come
from
that
source
fund
balance,
which
is
our
own
money
that
we
have
set
aside.
C
We
put
in
about
2.5
or
two
cents
out
of
every
dollar
two
and
a
half
cents,
and
we
have
some
other
revenues
as
well.
We
get
some
pilot
funds,
we
collect
some
fees,
we
get.
C
C
So
if
we
look
at
state
aid
as
a
percent
of
the
budget
for
many
years,
we
have
gone
in
the
range
of
like
60
to
62
or
3
percent,
and
then
in
the
last
few
years
you
can
see
how
that's
drastically
changed.
We
were
at
65
and
66
percent
and
then
in
2021
that's
the
year
that
we
actually
lost
foundation
aid.
C
So
you
could
see
the
impact
that
that
had
on
the
revenues
for
the
school
district,
because
because
we
lost
the
state
aid,
other
categories
that
were
in
the
previous
slide,
the
levy,
the
fund
balance
and
some
other
revenues
really
had
to
pick
that
up
and
what
picked
that
up
the
most
then
we
were
very
lucky.
We
had.
It
was
fun
balance.
C
So
because
of
our
strong
fiscal
position,
we
were
able
to
kind
of
plug
that
that
loss
to
some
degree,
certainly
not
fully,
but
with
our
fund
balance
and
then
you
could
see
in
2122
as
this,
the
state
started.
Funding
that
foundation
aid
formula
the
current
year,
2122
was
the
first
year
of
phase
in
and
we
saw
a
35
million
dollar
increase
for
23
22
23.
We're
expecting
that
53
million
dollar
increase,
if
that
continues
for
next
year,
we'll
be
in
the
upper
70
percent
for
23.24.
C
E
A
So
if
I
could,
if
I
could
just
pick
back
because
I
did
the
quick
math
on
what
that
was-
and
if
you
could
just
follow
me
so
the
1920
there
was
a
three
percent-
could
possible
savings
because
some
districts
did
go
to
that
max.
A
Of
the
green,
the
dark
green
in
terms
of
savings
for
each
year
I
put
three
percent
1920
20
21
was
one
percent,
3.5
percent
2122
and
approximately
3.65
in
the
fourth
year
and
that's
in
excess
of
11
over
the
last
four
years.
Just
wonderful,
I
mean
wonderful
news
for
the
taxpayers
of
the
of
the
district
and
and
and
what
what
a
great
time
to
have
the
savings
because
of
of
what
we're
experiencing
right
now
in
terms
of
inflation,
so
good.
C
Okay,
this
is
something
that
we
did
cover
at
the
last
meeting.
I
just
wanted
to
go
over
it
again
because
it's
such
an
important
point-
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
it's
understood
and
again,
if
anybody
has
questions,
please
give
me
a
call
and
I'll
be
happy
to.
I
volunteer
this
last
time
and
I've
done
this
several
times
over.
The
years
met
some
very
nice
people,
but
if
anybody
wants
to
talk
about
their
tax
bill,
go
over,
it
see
what's
driving
their
tax
increase.
C
C
That's
what
the
tax
levy
is.
It's
not
the
tax
rate.
It's
not
how
much
a
person
or
a
household
is
going
to
pay.
The
tax
rate
is
calculated
based
on
the
tax
levy,
but
there
are
other
pieces
of
information
that
we
get
from
the
town
in
order
to
to
calculate
the
tax
rate
and
those,
and
we
don't
get
that
until
late
august.
So
now,
when
we're
setting
our
budget
and
voting
on
our
budget,
I
couldn't
even
tell
you
what
the
tax
rate
is,
because
I
don't
have
all
of
the
information
right
now.
C
C
C
So
again,
I
won't
get
that
until
until
the
summer,
but
the
town
can
say,
let's
charge
a
little
bit
more
to
the
to
the
homeowners
or
a
little
bit
more
to
the
businesses.
It's
just
not
something.
If
that
is
known
right
now
and
there's
a
formula
that
they
have
to
follow,
they
can't
just
you
know,
do
it
at
a
whim.
They
have.
You
know
strict
regulations,
the
school
tax
once
you,
we
have
the
tax
rate
and
we
set
that
actually
at
the
september
board
meeting.
C
So
that's
when
you'll
know
what
the
tax
rate
is.
So
once
we
have
that
tax
rate,
if
you
just
know
the
assessed
value
of
your
house,
that's
how
you
can
figure
out
your
school
taxes
now
that
doesn't
necessarily
mean
it's
all
of
your
taxes.
C
Because
and
we'll
ask
this
question
then
I'll
finish
the
point
I
was
just
making
can
property
tax
change
if
the
levy
remains
the
same,
and
the
answer
to
that
is
absolutely
yes.
For
some
of
the
reasons
I
just
mentioned,
factors
within
your
school
tax
include
the
levy,
but
that's
just
one
component.
That
is
the
only
component
for
which
the
school
district
can
control.
C
There's
the
assessed
values
which
can
change,
and
that's
really
the
homeowner,
really
can
have
some
impact
on
if
an
assessed
value
changes.
Maybe
you
do
an
addition
or
an
alteration
to
your
house,
and
that
raises
the
assessed
value,
or
maybe
you
remove
a
pool
that
was
previously
figured
into
your
assessed
values
and
that
could
lower
your
excess
assessed
values.
C
There
are
different
exemptions,
such
as
the
military
exemption
or
fire
fighter
exemption
that
residents
can
apply
for
so
so
that
can
help
with
your
taxes,
or
it
can
certainly
change
your
taxes.
Maybe
you
had
an
exemption
and
it
ended
for
whatever
reason
the
the
other
component
is
the
adjusted
base
proportions
that
I
just
talked
about.
That's
the
homestead
versus
the
non-homestead,
and
also
the
star
program
is
something
that
can
impact
taxes,
and
we
have
talked
about
that
a
little
bit
at
the
last
meeting.
C
There
are
two
different
programs,
and
I
have
the
website
in
the
powerpoint,
where
you
can
go
and
look
that
up.
One
is
the
star
exemption,
which
is
the
the
original
star
program
where
you,
if
you
have
the
basic
exemption
you
sign
up
once
and
it
stays
with
you
for
all
your
years
in
that
house.
While
it's
your
primary
residence
and
it
lowers
your
taxes
each
year,
so
you
actually
pay
less.
C
They
came
out
with
a
new
program
a
number
of
years
ago
now
called
the
check
rebate,
so
your
taxes
won't
be
lowered,
but
you'll
receive
a
check
back
from
the
state
for
a
portion
of
your
taxes,
that's
actually
a
little
bit
more
advantageous
because
that
can
change
the
star
exemption.
The
original
program
is
frozen.
C
Whatever
exemption,
you
have,
that's
not
going
to
change,
but
if
you
go
to
that
check,
rebate,
type
exemption-
and
you
can
just
sign
up-
you
know
again
the
information's
at
the
website
on
on
the
slide
that'll
change
each
year
and
that
can
grow
as
the
as
your
taxes
grow.
So
that
can
help
you
a
little
bit
more
each
year.
C
Any
new
homeowner
can
only
get
that
check,
rebate
exemption.
You
can
no
longer
sign
up
for
the
original
program,
so
property
taxes
as
a
whole.
Now
I
was
just
talking
about
school
taxes
include
many
things.
It
includes
your
school
tax,
there's
a
county
tax,
a
town
of
islip
tax,
a
fire
district
tax,
a
library
tax.
So
even
if,
let's
say
nothing
changed
with
the
school
tax,
the
levy
stayed
the
same.
The
assessed
values,
exempt
exemptions,
adjust
the
base
proportions
and
nothing
changed
with
your
school
tax.
C
One
of
those
other
taxes
can
change
that
would
ultimately
change
your
overall
property
tax
that
you
pay
so
again.
If
anybody
has
any
questions,
please
don't
hesitate
to
give
me
a
call
now
we'll
switch
to
the
expenditure
side
of
the
budget,
and
I
started
with
you
know
the
budget
number
at
the
beginning
of
the
presentation:
that's
503
million
and
the
increase
dollar
and
percentage-wise.
C
So
that's
you
know
right
into
the
classroom
to
aid
with
the
students.
It's
our
teachers,
it's
the
different
programs.
We
have
it's
instructional
materials
that
we
use.
It's
software,
that
we
use,
so
that's
80
cents
out
of
every
dollar
that
we
spend
four
cents
of
that
dollar
goes
to
debt
service.
C
It's
kind
of
like
the
mortgage
on
your
house.
It's
how
we're
paying
for
some
of
the
construction
work
that
we've
done
over
the
years
that
we've
had
to
borrow
for.
We
have
an
inter
fund
transfer
piece
which
is
about
one
cent
of
every
dollar,
and
that's.
We
have
some
instructional
programs
that
we
have
to
pay
through
the
special
aid
fund,
so
we
don't
pay
out
of
the
general
fund,
so
we
transfer
that
and
it's
it
could
be
our
12
month,
special
education,
pers
program.
C
We
also
have
an
employee
preparation
program
that
we
contribute
to
a
little
bit.
It's
also
our
capital,
our
transfer
to
capital
which
we'll
talk
about
in
a
little
while
we
know
the
current
year
we
transferred
about
10
million
into
our
capital
fund.
We
have
projects
going
on
like
locker
rooms,
some
have
started
somewhere,
you
know
we're
still
getting
through
the
state.
Our
fields
will
be
redone,
so
that
was
in
a
transfer
to
capital,
which
is
part
of
that.
C
One
cent
component
piece
of
the
pie
I
should
say,
then
we
have
a
general
support,
which
is
we
spend
about
nine
cents
of
every
dollar
on
that's
our
central
administration.
It's
also
buildings
and
ground
security.
It's
our
information
technology.
C
So
that's
what's
in
the
nine
cents
out
of
every
dollar,
and
then
our
transportation
is
seven
percent
or
seven
cents
of
every
dollar
that
we
spend
and
we
have
almost
270
buses
every
day
going
throughout
the
district
and
to
many
out
of
district
schools
as
well.
C
We
look
at
what's
changed.
What
expenditures
are
changing
in
the
budget,
because
48
million
dollars
is
there's
a
large
increase,
but
where
is
it
changing
general
support?
Which,
again,
was
that
administrative
b
g
security
information
technologies
going
up
2.9
million
over
two
million
of
them
yeah.
C
Over
two
million
of
that
is
the
laptop
rotation
that
we're
instituting.
So
we
gave
out
the
laptops.
We
know
laptops,
don't
last
forever,
so
they
weren't
all
brand
new
that
we
put.
B
D
C
Because
we
had
to
use
what
we
had
in
schools
as
well,
it
was
hard
to
get
laptops
right
away
when
the
pandemic
first
started.
So
miss
chang
went
over
her
plan
to
rotate
our
laptops
every
few
years,
so
each
year
we're
going
to
have
to
buy
new
laptops
because
different
grades
or
the
same
grade
level
every
year
is
going
to
be
getting
new
new
laptops,
and
then
we
collect
back
the
old
ones.
We
put
them
into
our
inventory
within
the
schools.
C
C
Transportation
is
simply
an
increase
in
cpi
of
roughly
1.2
million
and
then
our
undistributed
expenditures
that
includes
our
benefits.
The
debt
service
that
we
just
talked
about
the
inter
fund
transfers.
C
E
Sure
do
you
want
me
to
go
to
okay,
the
the
instructional
staff
additions,
as
stacy
had
mentioned,
that
obviously,
the
the
vast
majority
of
the
state
aid
that
we
additional
state
aid
that
we're
receiving
is
going
into
the
instructional
or
right
into
the
classroom,
and
these
are
actually
it
is
not
the
complete
list
because
we
ran
out
of
room
here,
but
this
really
is
about
90
percent
of
what
we'll
be
adding
next
year
we
have
guidance,
counselors
we'll
be
adding
additional
guidance
counselors.
E
Remember
this
board
has
been
committed
to
adding
getting
social
workers
and
psychologists
and
guidance
counselors
for
that
matter.
Getting
one
per
building.
That's
been
our
attempt
over
the
last
few
years.
I
believe
we're
very
close
to
accomplishing
it
with
adding
these
additional
social
workers
and
psychologists.
E
We've
also
added
psychologists
over
the
last
couple
of
years
to
sit
committee
so
thereby
not
having
to
pull
psychologists
from
the
building.
So
we've
really
put
a
great
deal
of
effort
into
that
over
the
last
number
of
years,
we'll
be
adding
speech,
teachers
also
a
transition
coordinator,
which
ms
young
mentioned
in
her
presentation.
E
That's
obviously
a
critical
commit
position
up
at
the
high
school.
We
have
we're
adding
music
and
art
at
the
elementary
level.
One
of
the
things
again
miss
palmer
mentioned
in
her
presentation.
It's
something
that
we're
committed
to
so
is
the
board,
adding
additional
art
and
music
classes
to
the
elementary
level
to
try
to
get
them
to
pre-pandemic
levels
and
actually
we're
gonna.
E
Accomplish
that
and
go
beyond
even
which
we're
really
excited
about
that
and
plus
we,
you
know,
we've
made
the
the
special
area
classes,
uniform,
they'll,
all
get
a
40-minute
class
of
art,
music,
phys,
ed
library,
media,
specialist
and,
and
that's
an
exciting
too,
not
to
bore
you
guys.
But
it's
really
has
will
help
our
scheduling.
Next
year
we
have
school
communication
aides,
ms
chang,
and
her
in
her
presentation
spoke
about
the
need
for
the
school
communication
aids.
E
We
are
hiring
18,
there
will
be
one
per
building
and
obviously,
when
you
have
an
additional
20,
000
laptops,
aqueous
boards,
adding
printers
copiers,
we
have
a
tremendous
amount
of
equipment
out
there
and
one
of
the
things
that
we
have
discovered
over
the
last
few
years
as
we
continue
to
grow
and
learn,
is
that
we
need
some.
You
know
boots
on
the
ground
in
the
building
every
day,
helping
students
and
staff
members
with
this,
these
new
technology,
new
equipment
and
software,
occupational
and
physical
therapists.
E
Those
are
actually
not
necessarily
new
positions,
we're
actually
bringing
those
positions
into
the
district.
They
will
become
district
employees
again.
That
will
give
us
an
incredible
amount
of
latitude
and
ability
to
to
really
serve
a
better
ability
to
service
kids.
We've
always
had
ot
and
pt
in
the
district,
but
this
will
be
the
first
that
we
actually
have
them
on
staff.
E
A
E
Specialists
at
the
middle
level
and
they
will
be
focused
primarily
on
giving
math
support
to
seventh
and
eighth
graders,
but
also
giving
support
to
advanced
students
who
are
now.
You
know
we
hope
to
take
algebra
in
eighth
grade.
Very
pleased
with
that.
I
guess
I'm
going
on
to
okay,
okay,
I'm
on
a
row,
so
we'll
keep
going
so
we
have
now
the
instructional
editions
lots.
I
could
speak
about
here.
But
again
it's
you
know.
E
We've
mentioned
these
in
many
of
the
presentations
over
the
last
few
months,
but
you
know
number
one
primarily
is
we're
going
to
a
nine
period
day
at
the
high
school
I
have
to.
You
know,
commend
the
high
school.
I
have
to
commend
the
board
as
well,
because
they
had
patience.
We
took
a
year
to
develop.
You
know,
I
believe
it's
about
20
electives,
close
to
20
electives.
E
I
can't
hit
them
all.
We
actually
have
a
pamphlet
that,
hopefully,
all
high
school
students
are
getting
from
their
guidance
counselors,
but
just
a
number
of
name.
A
few.
We
have
the
american
sign
language.
We
have
latin,
we'll
now
have
we're
bringing
in
two
boces
courses
and
actually
that's
part
of
our
capital
improvements
or
some
of
our
improvements
to
classrooms,
we're
actually
bringing
in
barbering
and
cosmetology
and
we're
servicing.
You
know
double
the
amount
of
students
that
we
would
be
servicing
if
we
sent
them
out
to
boces.
E
I'm
very
excited
about
that.
We
have
a
dance
program,
it's
actually
elective
course
and
that
again
we're
actually
spending
time
and
energy
and
and
money
in
reconfiguring
a
classroom
to
service
the
dance
elective.
There
are
electives
we're
actually
adding
a
a
new
some
new
science
electives
english
electives
math.
We
have
coding,
you
know,
there's
really
in
every
single
department
spent
the
year
developing
developing
electives
that
will
really
excite,
hopefully
and
I'm
sure,
they're
certain
they
will
excite
kids
and
give
them
some
real
meaty.
E
You
know
high-end
rigorous
electives,
so
I'm
really
excited
about
that.
We've
expanded
the
summer
opportunities
last
year.
We
continue
to
do
so.
You
know
miss
rodriguez,
maria.
I
thank
you
so
much.
She
actually
created
a
beautiful
pamphlet.
It's
really!
I
don't
think
we
have
it
ready
to
distribute.
Do
we
maria?
Oh,
we
do
okay.
I
really
want
to
thank
her
for
her
efforts
on
that.
It's
absolutely
beautiful,
because
what
we
did
was
we
realized.
We
have
so
many
things
going
on
during
the
summer.
E
We
really
wanted
to
put
them
in
one
place
and
maria
put
that
together
over
the
last
a
few
weeks-
and
I
I
can't
even
you
know,
come
up
with
a
number.
Is
it
over?
That's
20
25.
I
mean
that
this
really.
We
have
special
education,
we
have
scythe,
we
have
bilingual,
we
have
general
ed,
we
have
science,
we
have
math
camps,
we
have
ela,
we
have
lit
camps,
they're,
really
going
on
beginning
right
after
school
ends,
some
three
weeks,
some
two
weeks
some
longer.
E
E
E
Obviously,
curriculum
up
materials
we're
doing
an
auto
shop,
upgrade
real
excited
about
that
anybody,
particularly
former
graduates
who
took
auto
body.
E
You
know,
have
an
opportunity
to
swing
by
next
year,
you're
going
to
see
a
completely
renovated
and
upgraded
auto
shop,
we're
putting
in
stage
lighting
in
the
soundlink
auditorium
we're
bringing
in
assemblies
and
guest
speakers
we're
actually
kicking
the
year
off
the
first
day
of
school
with
a
terrific
guest
speaker
software
programs.
I
already
mentioned
the
the
cosmetology
barbering
and
the
dance
and
there's
a
number
of
other
initiatives
as
well.
E
And
now
we're
on
to
the
capital
improvement
projects.
This
is
another
thing,
we're
quite
excited
about
this.
This
foundation
aid
has
given
us
the
opportunity
to
really
do
some
some
incredible
renovations
without
without
going
out
to
the
community
with
a
bond
where
most
school
districts
when
they
speak
about
major
renovations,
they
have
to
spend
a
you
know
a
considerable
amount
of
time,
putting
together
a
bond
issue.
E
They
go
out
to
the
community
and
now
a
community
you
know
has
to
vote
on
it
and
say
you
know,
okay,
and
then
they
assume
that
debt
for
x
amount
of
years.
What
we're
able
to
do
is
do
these
capital
improvement
projects
without
going
out
to
the
community
on
a
separate
bond.
Obviously
you
have
to
vote
we
have
to
if
the
budget
needs
to
be
improved,
approved
for
us
to
do
these
capital
improvements.
E
So
in
just
a
number
name,
a
few
here
we're
doing
the
middle
school
science
lab
renovations,
we'll
begin
that
next
year
and
we'll
have
that
completed.
Remember
these
are
projects
that
we're
hoping
to
accomplish
next
year.
So
we're
starting
and
finishing.
That's
our
goal
within
one
year
we're
doing
enhanced
security
at
the
elementary
entrances.
E
All
of
the
entrances
will
have
to
coin
a
phrase.
I
believe
they
call
it
a
man
trap,
but
it
is
where
you
have
a
double
set
of
doors,
so
a
a
visitor
to
the
building
can
get
into
the
first
door
if
they're
buzzed
in,
but
they
won't
be
able
to
get
through
the
second
door
without
being
buzzed
in
and
obviously
that
is
an
enhanced
security
feature
that
we
wanted
to
do.
There's
also
other
things
that
we're
doing
to
doors
and
locks
across
the
district,
but
not
making
its
way.
E
E
So
when
students
go
into
a
cafeteria
they're
going
to
see
something,
you
know
completely
different
than
what
they've
looked
at
over
the
last
50
years.
We
want
to
upgrade
it
make
it
pleasing,
make
it
easily
accessible
for
students,
so
they
have
a
nice
experience
as
they
go
through
the
cafeteria.
E
This
10
million
844
300
is
a
one-time
expenditure.
It's
also
something
to
to
be
excited
about.
That's
10
min
it's
over
10
million
dollars
that
we're
spending
this
year
next
year.
If
our
foundation
aid
remains
the
same
or
increases
which
we
anticipate
this
10
million
dollars,
we
now
can
put
towards
something
else.
So
it's
a
one-time
expenditure
and,
as
I
mentioned
before,
there's
no
increase
to
our
debt
service,
so
we'll
we
will
not
be
paying
interest
on
this.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
we
actually
will
get
state
aid
back
on
this.
These
capital
improvements
projects.
C
Okay,
thank
you
we're
on
a
roll.
Thank
you,
debt
service,
that's
another
one-time
expenditure
that
we
are
putting
in
the
budget
and
it's
really
it's
kind
of
exciting.
We
have
debt
out
there.
We
did
a
project
in
2012
called
the
energy
performance
contract
where
we
had
to
borrow
money
for
that
one
at
the
time
we're
still
paying
it
off.
We
have
four
or
five
years
left.
We
did
some
lighting.
We
did
a
co-generator
at
the
high
school,
which
also
heats
our
pool.
C
So
the
interest
that
we're
not
paying
we're
still
going
to
get
the
the
building
aid
on,
so
that's
going
to
create
a
positive
cash
flow
for
a
number
of
years
into
the
future
until
that
would
have
been
paid
off.
So
it's
very
exciting
that
money
that
comes
back
is
the
positive
cash
flow
is
unrestricted,
so
we
could
use
it
towards
programs.
We
could
use
it
towards
more
capital
projects,
so
it
it's.
C
You
know
again,
money
that
that
is
really
going
to
help
the
district
for
years
to
come
and
like
mr
lotion,
I
was
just
explaining
it's
a
one-time
expenditure,
so
the
following
year,
we
won't
have
this
in
our
budget.
So
that's
against.
You
know
the
prepayment
of
it,
the
8.2
million
so
we'll
have
that
freed
up
to
you
somewhere
else
in
the
budget
as
well.
C
The
last
thing
that
we
have
to
talk
about
each
year
is
well
what
happens
if
the
budget
is
not
approved?
Well,
we
would
have
some
choices.
Then
we
could
put
out
the
same
budget
for
every
vote
in
june.
Our
regular
budget
date
is
the
third
tuesday
in
may.
The
re-vote
date
is
the
third
tuesday
in
june,
so
we
can
vote
on
the
same
budget.
C
We
can
make
changes
to
either
the
budget
or
the
levy
for
the
re-vote
in
june,
or
we
can
choose
not
to
vote
in
june
and
just
go
to
a
contingent
budget.
The
main
rule
for
a
contingent
budget
is
that
the
levy
may
not
be
increased
now
you
say
well,
you're,
not
increasing
the
levy,
so
nothing
will
change.
Well,
that's
not
quite
the
case
because
there
are
some
mandatory
reductions
or
some
things
that
that
will
change.
C
We
have
to
eliminate
or
reduce
equipment
items
in
the
budget,
we're
not
allowed
to
order
equipment,
except
for
the
state,
aided
amount
of
hardware.
So
that's
about
and
fifty
thousand
dollars.
We
mentioned
our
laptop
rotation
earlier,
which
is
over
two
million
dollars,
so
we
wouldn't
be
able
to
start
phase
one
of
that
laptop
rotation
and
all
other
equipment
will
come
out
as
well.
C
The
capital
projects
that
transfer
to
capital
that
mr
lotion
are
described.
We
would
not
be
able
to
do
that.
You
can't
put
additional
funds
for
capital
projects,
nor
can
we
prepay
that
debt
service,
because
we
wouldn't
be
able
to
do
that.
We
could
pay
the
debt
service
that
we
owe
we
just
couldn't
pre-pay
anything,
so
all
of
that
would
have
to
come
out
of
the
budget.
C
C
The
other
restriction
is
on
certain
purchases
of
school
supplies.
We
can
only
purchase
contingent
supplies,
anything,
that's
considered
a
non-contingent
supply.
We
wouldn't
be
able
to
purchase.
So
what
does
a
budget
look
like
proposed
versus
contingent?
Well,
we
talked
about
our
proposed
budget.
Is
503
million
a
contingent
budget
because
we're
lowering
the
transfer
to
capital
of
10
million
the
8.2
in
the
prepayment
of
debt
service,
and
the
remaining
is
some
equipment
in
the
budget.
It
will
go
down
nearly
20
million
the
overall
budget
amount.
C
C
So
the
budget
votes
coming
up
less
than
two
weeks,
tuesday
may
17th
you
vote
at
your
local
elementary
school.
If
you
have
any
questions
about
where
to
vote
kathy
is
that
still
on
the
website
on
the
new
website?
Okay,
so
you
look
under
the
district
clerk's
area.
I
think
you
just
punch
in
your
address
and
it
tells
you
where
you
vote.
It's
very
handy
tool.
A
So
I
just
wanted
to
begin
by
by
saying
that
this
is
just
so
incredibly
exciting.
This
is
just
you
know.
I
I
think
that
this
is.
I
was
just
looking
at
your
presentation,
ms
o'connor,
and
if
you
could
just
follow
me
in
the
in
the
page
where
you
have
outlined,
you
know
the
the
where
the
differences
are,
and
I
believe
that
was
48
million
dollars
and
just
follow
me.
So
we
are
paying
eight
million
dollars
down
in
debt.
A
That's
included
in
this
48,
or
is
that
okay?
So
let's
just
take
away
the
eight
million
dollars.
You
know
that
debt
service
is
something
that
we're
doing,
because
we
have
the
money
and
it's
just
a
good
business
plan.
Four
point:
five
percent
interest
rate:
if
you
extrapolate
that
on
top
of
the
principle
turns
out
to
be
more
than
the
8.2,
I
think
that
we
are
paying
down.
A
Yes,
over
the
life
of
it
by
far
you,
you
know,
you're,
not
even
you're,
not
we're
not
even
giving
ourselves
credit
for
what
the
total
is.
So
the
8.2
is
the
principal,
but
if
we
were
to
pay
this
over
the
life
that
8.2
could
easily
be,
you
know
nine
million
nine
and
a
half
million
dollars.
I
don't
know
how
many
years
are
left
right,
so
you
take
that
eight
million
dollars
off
of
this
total
and
there's
40
million
dollars
that
we
immediately
immediately
recognize
as
to
where
the
the
need
was.
A
You
know
we
knew
that
there
was
need
here.
We
knew
that
we
needed
these
things
and
these
these
really
these
instructional
staff
editions
these
aren't
wants.
These
are
things
that
the
you
know
that
most
school
districts
have.
These
are
things
that
we
just
couldn't
afford
to
do.
The
reason
why
I
brought
up
that
40
million
dollars
taking
away
the
8
million
dollars
from
the
difference.
A
Is
that
that's
how
much
it
would
have
cost
us
to
put
these
things
into
place
on
a
year-to-year
basis
at
a
minimum,
because
once
you
put
them
into
place,
they
do
increase
over
the
life
of
the
of
the
the
contract.
So
again,
this
is
so
refreshing
to
see
that
we're
able
to
put
these
things
into
place,
and
now
you
know
next
year,
god
willing.
We
will
be
able
to
say
that
wow
we.
We
really
have
the
pieces
in
place
to
best
service,
our
students,
and
that
is
something
that
really
really
we
just.
A
I
mean
nine
years
on
this
board
and
we've
never
had
this
opportunity
to
do
the
kind
of
stuff
that
we're
doing
now.
We
didn't
have
the
money
we
didn't
have
the
money
and
you
know
to
the
people
that
are
saying
that
you
know
what
we
did
have
some
money.
The
problem
is
that
we
were
always
afraid
that
we
were
going
to
be
in.
You
know
in
a
really
bad
financial
straight,
so
you
can't
just
play
it.
You
know
off
the
cuff
and
you
can't
just
we
have
to
play
a
very
conservative
game.
A
That's
basically
approach
to
it.
So
this
is
incredibly
incredibly
exciting
on
top
of
all
the
instructional
staff
additions
that
mr
lotion
are
outlined
to
see
that
we're
also
addressing
the
capital
improvement
side
of
the
district.
It
is
just
incredible
blessing.
You
know
we
we
walk
around
and
we
and
we
and
we
accept
what
it
is
that
we
have,
because
we
couldn't
do
any
anything
really
about
it.
A
We
we
did
and
we
tried
our
best,
but
now
we
will
have
the
money
and
we
will
have
the
money,
hopefully
for
years
to
continue
to
improve
the
facilities
and,
and
that
just
creates
so
much
positivity.
So
much
positive.
I've
already
seen
some
of
the
work
and-
and
you
know-
and
it
just
puts
the
value
on
the
children
that
we're
trying
to
to
educate,
right
and
and
and
and
help
in
our
district
in
in
such
a
better
light.
So
I
want
to
thank
you
solution.
A
I
want
to
thank
you,
the
central
administrators,
on
behalf
of
the
board.
I
want
to
thank
everybody
who
had
any
kind
of
input
in
terms
of
what
it
is
that
we're
doing,
because
this
is
really
really
really
a
just
a
such
a
huge
turn
of
events
for
the
ben
for
the
brentwood
district.
I
am
going
to
ask
you
one
thing:
miss
o'connor
again.
A
So
again
we
had
a
situation
this
year
where
we
did
propose
a
zero
percent
tax
increase
but
yeah
the
increase,
a
zero
percent
tax
levy
increase
right,
but
taxes
did
increase
on
the
school
district
side
right
and
again
to
be
clear.
That
is
something
that
is
not
in
our
control.
We
are,
we
are
proposing
a
zero
percent,
but
the
taxes
may
go
up
based
on
factors
that
the
town
decides
upon.
They
have
a
formula.
This
isn't
something
that
you
know
is
proposed
specifically
against
the
district
of
brentwood.
A
This
is
just
the
way
you
know
the
assessments
work
in
in,
I
think
in
all
towns.
To
tell
you
truth.
Absolutely
so
again,
I
just
want
to
put
this
out
there.
Your
school
tax
may
go
up,
but
it's
not
because
we
did
something
that
was
underhanded
or
we
were
putting
forth
information
that
wasn't
correct.
A
E
A
Yeah,
so
so
it's
just
it's
it's
it's
just
wonderful,
wonderful
news,
and
you
know-
and
I
and
I
would
agree
with
mr
lotion-
and
you
must
account
that
you
know
there's
a
really
good
chance
at
this
point-
that
we
will
get
the
additional.
I
think
53
million
dollars
next
year,
and
that
is
going
to
again
just
enhance
what
it
is
that
we're
doing,
and
I
just
really
really
am
so
excited.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you
and
thank
you
to
your
cabinet
for
all
of
the
hard
work.
A
Thank
you
to
everybody,
because
I
know
that
it
wasn't
just
you
know
this
group
small
group
here
that
there
are
were
a
lot
of
contributors.
Thank
you
to
everybody
who
contributed
to
identifying
what
the
needs
are
and
that's
you
know,
goes
across
the
whole
spectrum,
the
teaching
staff,
the
administrators
bng.
You
know
the
clericals
everybody
had
in
hand
in
terms
of
absolutely
what
this
is.
So
I'm
just
incredibly
pleased
about
where
we
are
right
now
so.
C
Thank
you
to
everybody.
Thank
you.
If
I
can
just
you
know
piggyback
on
that,
a
little
bit
I've
been
here
a
long
time.
I've
been
through
a
lot
of
different
budgets
budget
years
and
there
are
challenges
in
every
year
whether
you
get
you
know
you,
you
normally
get.
You
know
a
three
four
percent
increase
and
you
get
used
to
budgeting
like
that
and
what
you
can't
put
in
what
you
can't
put
in
I've
been
here
years,
where
we
lost
aid
where
we
lost
data
we're
frozen
from
multiple
years
in
a
row.
C
We've
had
budgets
like
that
as
well,
where
we
tried
things
we,
we
expanded
the
high
school
to
a
nine
period
day
and
then
had
to
pull
back
on
it
when
the
state
couldn't
keep
their
promise
to
us
and
mr
lotion,
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you.
Working
with.
You
has
been
tremendous
on
this
because.
C
Had
to
balance
things
well
and
just
make
sure
everything
made
sense,
are
we
really
doing
the
right
thing
for
the
community
and
getting
your
input
and
going
through
this
with?
You
has
just
really
been
a
terrific
experience
working
with
cabinet.
I
want
to
thank
you
as
well.
We're
very
well
organized
we're
ahead
of
the
curve
on
so
many
things,
and
it's
been
tremendously
helpful
in
this
budget.
So
I
just
want
to
thank
everybody
involved
and
you're.
Absolutely
right.
It
doesn't
stop
with
us.
C
I
get
input
from
every
department
in
the
district
every
building
every
department,
so
it
really
is
a
full
district
team
effort
and,
of
course,
the
board
as
well.
I
mean
we
make
decisions.
A
This
is
this
is
again
I
I've
said
this.
Before
I
mean
our
our
central
administrative
team
is
really
I
mean
I
just
you
know:
everybody's
got
their
own
opinion,
but
this
really
is
kind
of
like
an
all-star
team.
It
really
really
is,
and-
and
I
just
really
I'm
so
thankful
for
that-
and
and
you
know-
and
just
you
know
it's
it's
it's
good,
it's
good.
A
This
is
just
such
a
wonderful
team
and
we
are
in
such
a
wonderful
place,
and
I
hope
that
I
hope
that
we're
able
to
look
back,
you
know
or
not
us
the
people
who
are
here
and
look
back
and
say
wow.
You
know
those
are
great
times
and
they
did
a
lot
in
terms
of
rebuilding
because
we
are
trying
to
leave
this.
A
You
know
district,
you
know
in
a
place
where
it's
going
to
continue
to
serve
for
the
next
75
years
in
terms
of
the
capital
improvement
projects
in
terms
of
the
kind
of
stuff
that
we're
talking
about,
and
you
made
a
very
good
point,
ms
o'connor,
and
that
is
that
you,
when
we
have
looked
at
these
things,
we've
looked
at
things
that
we
want
to
put
into
place
and
never
ever
have
to
take
away.
You
just
mentioned
the
nine
period
day.
A
Could
we
have
done
this
before
maybe,
but
we
would
have
exposed
ourselves
financially
to
hardships
that
may
have
caused
cuts
in
other
areas,
and
that
was
the
reluctance
to
to
to
to
adding
that
it
wasn't,
because
we
didn't
think
that
it
was
important.
It
wasn't
that
we
didn't
think
it
was
valuable.
It
was
just
a
hard
business
decision
that
we
needed
to
make
not
discounting
the
fact
that
it
is
a
great
idea.
A
We
just
never
want
to
put
something
on
the
table
that
we'd
have
to
pull
back
because
of
budget
cuts.
It's
here
and
I
and
I,
and
I
hope
that
it's
never
ever
going
to
be
taken
away.
So
I
just
really
really
excited
for
the
community,
for
the
students
and
for
for
brentwood
as
a
whole
right.
E
Well,
I
I
do
would
like
to
say
I
think
you
know
miss
o'connor
really
is
probably
the
best
business
official
we
could
ever
hope
for.
One
of
the
things
that
you
have
to
realize
too,
is
that
we
are
obviously
we've
been
talking
about
the
last
two
years.
We
do.
We
are
very
fortunate.
We
have
you
know
gotten,
you
know
additional
aid,
more
aid
than
we
thought
we
initially
were
going
to
get,
but
if
she
didn't
handle
the
books
properly
prior
to
this,
I
think
we'd
be
just
paying
back.
You
know,
debt.
E
You
know
we're
in
this
position
right
now
of
strength,
because
of
actually
the
budgeting
that
came
before
the
windfall.
If
so
to
speak,
you
you
follow.
E
Of
that,
we're
actually
can,
you
know,
enjoy
in
a
real
positive
way,
instructionally
as
well
as
capital
improvements,
whereas
I
think
if
we
didn't
have
miss
o'connor
prior
to
this,
when.
A
E
A
lot
more
difficult
to
budget,
we
would
just
be
using
this
money
to
recover
and
instead
we're
using
it
to
really
move
forward.
So.
F
A
Yeah
and
that's
there's,
there's
no
joy.
There's
no
excitement,
there's
no
growth
in
that.
So
right,
absolutely
absolutely
so
I
I
just
want
to
say
one
more
thing
before
we
try
to
make
a
motion
to
return.
This
school
district
is
hiring
this
school
district
is
hiring
and
we
have
a
nine
period
day.
I'm
I'm
putting
this
this
out
there
to
to
everyone.
Our
facebook
page
has
has
so
many
postings
of
teaching
positions
and
different
content
areas
that
go
up
week
after
week
after
week.
A
Right
now
we
have
you
know
I
want
to
say
you
know
if
we
broke
down
the
library
media
specialist,
we're
hiring
11
positions
right
so
that
post
times
11-
and
I
know
that
we're
hiring
for
so
many
other
positions.
I
want
to
say
that
they're
easily
at
right
now
on
the
facebook
page
and
meeting
in
terms
of
openings
in
excess
of
20
20,
20,
20,
25.
E
Oh,
my
gosh.
We
also
have
close
to
40
retirees
yep.
We
went
to
a
nine
period
day
which
miss
ortiz
in
the
high
school
estimate
could
be
an
additional
15
to
20
teachers.
So
that's
in
addition,
the
library
media,
specialist
and
all
of
these
other
and
when
we
do
move,
which
really,
which
is
terrific,
we're
going
to
move
a
lot
of
our
exceptional
teachers
into
some
of
these
specialized
areas.
For
example,
the
rti
specialists
we're
moving
some
of
our
teachers
into
those
positions
which
will
open
up
four
new
positions.
A
Glad
that
you
brought
bridget
brought
that
up,
because
it
is
that's.
That's
that's
the
detail
that
I
wanted
to
give
that's.
Those
are
just
teaching
positions,
and
this
is
again
so
exciting
and
you
know,
and
I'm
I'm
so
we're
hiring
for
for
teachers
we're
hiring
for
some
of
the
from
some
of
the
I.t
positions.
We
are
always
hiring
security,
we
need.
A
We
need
security
staff
if
anybody
needs
a
job
in
terms
of
security,
I
maybe
we're
not
as
competitive
as
some
of
the
other
school
districts
out
there,
but
you
know
working
in
brentwood,
it's
a
special
place
and
whatever
it
is,
you
know
that
you're
not
getting
over
there
or
that
you're
getting
over
there
financial.
We
make
it
up
in
terms
of
you.
F
A
Of
life,
okay,
we're
hiring
we're,
always
hiring
we're,
always
hiring
for
tas
monitors
again.
You
know
this
is
just
a
handful
of
positions
that
we
are
in
need
of,
so
I'm
I'm
I'm
telling
the
public
to
make
sure
that
they
are
visiting
the
school
district
website
that
they
are
visiting
the
facebook
page
for
the
search
for
the
certificated
personnel
positions.
A
They
need
to
also
visit
the
ola's
website
because
we
are
hiring-
and
you
know,
and
if
you
are
a
brentwood
resident
and
you
are
a
brentwood
graduate,
please
I
mean
you
talk
about
role
models
for
our
children.
That
is
just
you
know,
a
win-win
for
everyone.
I
I
just.
I
can't
emphasize
that
enough.
You
know
so
again,
you
know.
Did
I
miss
any
positions.
E
A
E
A
E
A
So
there
are
there
are
about,
and
this
is
what
I
was
trying
to
make
the
point
right
now.
A
little
earlier
is
there
may
be
somewhere
between
25
and
30
positions
right
now
who
whose
postings
close
around
may
18th.
I
I
believe
so
it's
I
it's
on
the
facebook
page.
It's
on
our
website.
I
believe
so
that's
what's
currently
on
our
website.
Right
now,.
D
I
saw
a
number
of
postings
as
well
that
ended,
I
think.
Last
week
one
of
them
was
elementary
education.
I
certainly
would
like
to
volunteer
for
those
interviews.
If
you
have
any
elementary
education
positions,
it
looked
like
one
because
it's
an
elementary
teacher,
which
I
also
wanted
to
ask
if
the
human
resources
would
actually
give
the
number
of
positions
that
are
actually
being
posted
when
they're
posted,
that
is
the
industry
standard
across
long
island.
When
people
post
positions,
they
say
how
many
openings
there
actually
are,
so
I
miss
them.
A
All
so
so,
on
the
actual
posting,
and
I'm
saying
this
because
I've
seen
it
myself,
it
actually
has
the
the
title
and
the
number
next
to
it,
actually
references
the
number
of
positions.
A
Unless,
unless
they
have
more
than
unless,
there's
a
number
up
there,
that's
only
one
one
position
right.
I
believe.
E
Yes,
but
I
have
to
be
honest
with
you,
you
know
sometimes
the
number
is
listed,
I'm
not
sure
about
this
posting.
I
will
tell
you,
though,
and
and
whoever's
listening
whomever
is
listening
out
there.
That
is
actually
multiple
elementary
teaching
positions,
because
we
do
have
a
number
of
retirees
in
different
buildings
and
you
know
sometimes.
E
Now
sometimes,
mr
moss,
we
might
not
put
the
number
because,
as
I
mentioned
some,
we
still
haven't
moved
some
of
our
teaching
staff
to
some
of
these
specialized
positions,
because
that
will
actually
add
additional
numbers.
D
D
So
what
I'm
asking
for
you
as
a
board
and
as
administrators
to
do
if
you
do,
have
multiple
retirements
of
elementary
teachers
or
of
any
teachers
really
and
you
are
going
to
really
have
an
a
higher
five
and
you
know
you're
gonna
hire
five,
or
at
least
five,
that
you
put
five,
because
that
will
be
an
encouragement
to
the
people
who,
quite
frankly,
have
been
put
off
to
applying
that.
Maybe
just
maybe
this
is
a
chance
to
get
a
position.
A
E
A
Saw
that
for
I
I.
A
So
so
is
it
is
it
I
mean,
would
you
consider,
would
you
consider
opening
that
that
posting
for
just
a
little
longer
and
then
and
then
just
trying
to
figure
out
what
that
number
might
be?
And
then
maybe
it's
a
conservative
number,
and
maybe
we
hire
the
that
first
group
that
you
believe
is
going
to
get
hired
and
then
you
know
if
it
is
five,
I
don't
I
don't
know
what
it
is
and
then,
if
we
find
another
need,
then
we'll
put
out
another
posting
for
that.
F
A
Do
you
remember
when
that
closing,
when
that
posting
closes.
A
So
that
particular
posting
closed
already
we
haven't
interviewed
exactly
so.
I
guess
I
guess
the
question
was
no.
I
guess
the
question
would
stand,
you
know,
could
could
we
open
it
up?
You
know
for
a
limited
amount
of
time
and
say
previous
applicants
not
apply.
It's
going
to
be
multiple.
So,
instead
of
the
having
just
one
elementary
school
teacher,
it'll
be
multiple.
D
B
A
A
I
think
that
we
would
cover
it
by
saying
it
would
be
multiple
elementary
school
teachers
right,
so
so
that
we
are
sending
out
that
message
that
it's
more
than
one
position.
B
B
D
B
D
F
So
that
that
posted
only
elementary
teacher
yeah,
that's
it.
E
E
A
E
You
know
speak
with
the
hr
department.
You
know
see
how
we
can.
We
can
rectify
this
sure.
You
know
yeah,
listen
if
we
certainly
want
to
be
transparent,
it's
certainly
something
to
learn
next
time.
I
think
it's
just
really.
It
was
not
intentional
to.
E
You
know
elementary
teacher
just
one,
I
I
honestly,
never
you
know
thought
about
it
till
mr
moss
brought
it
up,
but
I
can
certainly
see
why
people
might
think
well.
B
E
Only
just
one
position,
but
no
typically,
you
know
when
we
post
for
an
elementary
position
or
a
bilingual
position,
for
example,
which
I
believe
we're
hiring
13
at
the
elementary
level.
You
know
there
are
you
know
here.
B
A
So
to
that
point,
and-
and
that's
a
good
point
to
announce
the
bilingual
right
I
didn't
so
can-
can
we
try
to
identify
the
number
so
that
we
can
add
that
to
the
posting,
because
that
would
just
resolve
everything
that
would
and
and
that's
a
very
good.
Yes.
E
E
Like
I
said
I
mean
I,
I
know
it's
a
you
know
we
we
did
have
a
fair
number
retire,
as
palmer
goes
through
the
staffing
you
know
as
she
she
demonstrated
during
her
presentation,
but
it
is
multiple
teachers,
but
that
may
change
as
well
as
summer.
You
know
we
we
get
lots
of.
You
know
new
residents
over
the
summer
and
we
may
say:
hey.
We
need
a
general
ed,
fourth
grade
teacher,
so
instead
of
six
we
need
seven.
Typically,
it
will
always
be
bumped
up
yep.
A
So
the
point
that
mr
lotion
said:
I
want
to
just
echo
that
this
is
not
intentional
at
all.
This
was
something
that
that
that
was
just
brought
up
right.
Now
I
miss
ortiz,
I'm
was
the
bilingual.
Was
the
posting?
Did
the
posting
say
bilingual
teacher
teacher
okay?
So
I'm
going
to
ask
that
maybe
we
consider
doing
the
same
thing
for
that
area,
specific
where
we
can
maybe
just
say,
hey,
listen,
you
know
what
conservatively
it's
going
to
be
13,
you
know
it's
going
to
be
13.
A
B
E
Yeah,
so
now
we've
also
been
to
a
number
of
job
fairs.
Well,
you
know.
E
F
E
Yeah
going
back
in
julie,
we
we've
discovered
that
yes,
many
of
them
have
been
posted
as
singular.
F
F
I
was
going
to
say
that
you
might
want
to
find
out
from
westbury.
I
understand
they
have
a
teaching
program
there
and
maybe
we
could
well.
E
We
actually,
over
the
last
few
years,
have
hired
a
number
of
kids
from
suny
old
westbury,
very
happy
with
their
development
their
program.
It's
really
improved
dramatically
over
the
last
few
years,
yeah.
A
B
A
That's
just
probably
the
most
exciting
piece
of
all
this
you
know,
so
please
please
continue
to
look
for
these
postings,
because
they're
going
to
continue
they're
gonna
continue.
So
so
I
I
just
overall,
I
just
thank
you
to
all
the
board
members
for
for
everything
that
they've
done
to
get
us
here.
Thank
you
to
the
solution
of
staff
and
everybody
who's
out
there
who
contributed
and.
