Mrs. Carpinone mentioned that the new policies will be online by the end of the day tomorrow. 5 Mr. Curro announced the school district has received $16,000 from a local organization. Those

funds will cover all the outstanding lunch accounts as of June 3rd. All accounts have been adjusted. This is a one-time good faith. 6.3 To see what action(s) the Board will take regarding the transfer of funds to the unassigned fund balance: Mr. Curro mentioned that in order to transfer the operating surplus of FY19 10 and reserve fund balance the law requires the Board approve the transfer. The undesignated fund balance from Fiscal Year operations is $184,261 from the auditors. He is recommending an additional $100,000 be added to the unreserved fund balance of the school district $384,261 will then be used as revenue to offset the December 2019 property tax for local education. That will bring us just over $900,000 in this fund. The maximum amount of funds the School District can retain in its unassigned 15 fund balance as of June 30, 2019 is $1,500,000. Ms. Ganem asked at one point the town was holding money for us and they determined they don’t have to do that anymore around $2 million. Mr. Curro said the amount was somewhere in that area. It wasn’t our money it was being held for an emergency fund. Mr. Young noted that the bond people didn’t look at that as our money, but now our fund is our money and the bond agencies look at that and our rating should improve. Ms. Ganem made a motion to 20

transfer $100,000 to the unassigned fund balance. Mr. Saucier seconded the motion. The motion passed by a 5-0 vote. 7. Superintendent’s Report 7.1 Preliminary Enrollment Report - Scott Laliberte: As of August 23rd these are the 25 numbers enclosed in the packet. The numbers K-12 are at 4249 which is up 15 from last year. There were two large classes that moved up: 5th to 6th grade and 8th to 9th grade. The Kindergarten class last year was very low. 22 students are still outstanding who have not officially registered. LEEP numbers continue to change. Moose Hill is at 261. Mr. Young cautioned everyone that you have to wait until the end of September to get a feel for the real numbers. 30

7.2 Update on Facilities Study Committee - Scott Laliberte: He mentioned that there is a meeting September 4th at 6:00PM at the Moose Hill sensory motor room. Two other meetings are scheduled for September 18th at 4:00 and October 2nd at 6:00PM. The web page was created specifically to the Facilities Study Committee and the public can view this. Mrs. Hendricks asked Mr. Laliberte about full day kindergarten. Mr. Laliberte mentioned that two presentations have been given and a 35 survey. They started with those families that have children and intend to use that to get some community feedback. This is something that we believe should be a deliberate and purposeful decision as a community. It has considerable costs attached to it and before anything is put out we need to have that decision made.

Mr. Young asked about Page 1 of the packet they are signing regarding the school district profile 40 are all listed as 0. Mr. Curro said the DOE hasn’t calculated that yet. This is a school financial report to be turned in by September 1st.

8. Non-Public Session: Non-Public Session requested under RSA 91-A:3, Section II (b) and (c). Ms. Ganem made a motion to move into Non-Public session requested under RSA 91-A:3, Section 45 II (b) and (c). Mr. Lekas seconded the motion. The motion passed by roll call vote. 9.

Re: FY20 Capital Lease

During the budget process, we identified various capital equipment, to be funded via a capital lease. The equipment designed to be funded through the capital lease are:

Equipment Description Estimated Cost

Bobcat $64,630

One Ton Truck with Plow $45,273

Exmark Mower $13,089

Field Groomer $26,388

The total gross for the above capital equipment is $149,388. Working with Municipal Leasing Corp [MLC]out of Vermont, they have provided us a rate of 3.87% for a three-year capital lease. Based on the cost estimates, interest rate, the annual payments for the lease is calculated at $53,302, with the first payment due in July 2020 [FY2021]. MLC acts as our fiscal agent and markets our capital lease request for the best tax exempt rate.

Memo

To: Londonderry School Board

From: Scott Laliberte

Date: September 5, 2019

Re: Update on Kindergarten Study

The efforts continue throughout the District to bring about the outcomes discussed in our

presentation on the Moose Hill facility and prospect of Full-Day K. Progress has continued to be

made on the following areas:

1. Re-Charged Facility Study Committee

a. As has been reported, the FSC met on Wednesday September 4th at Moose Hill School. The

group reviewed the outcomes and materials collected to this point, and discussed ways to

address several of the variables to consider under each outcome. Our next meeting will be

Wednesday 9/18, which will be focused on developing a list of facility requirements needed

to support a full day program.

2. Kindergarten Program Review

a. Staff members worked with Dan this summer to conduct an analysis of the last three years’

data from Kindergarten students, including subsequent growth measured in the first and

second grade in two years after for each cohort. Conclusions and analysis are still in

progress, and will be reviewed at an upcoming Board meeting.

3. Community Information Sessions

a. Work has begun to develop a program for a community presentation regarding the

advantages and challenges of full day kindergarten. That presentation will be offered to the

public in a variety of different venues including C3, PTA Meetings, and a video for

distribution on community access TV and YouTube. We are exploring other options for

venues and communication. The intent is to complete these presentations prior to February

vacation, ahead of a possible referendum in March.

4. Surveys to determine support level for Full Day Kindergarten

a. We have designed an initial survey, which was tested with parents in last year’s

Kindergarten group. We are studying the survey results in order to validate further use of the

format, and will be administering it to a wider group this fall. We intend to widen

participation to include both families of current students K-12 and community members who

do not have children enrolled in our schools. Results will be presented at a subsequent Board

meeting.
