4.15.2026 Fall River School Committee - FY27 Budget Hearing and Special Meeting

I'd like to call to order the public hearing of the far school committee for Wednesday, April 15th.

Deb, would you please call the role?

Mr. Aia, here.

Mr. Das, here.

Mr. Corey, here.

Mr. Monus, here.

Miss Riley, here.

Miss Stewart, here.

Mayor Couan here. Salute to the flag.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Um, pursuant to the open meeting law, any p person may make an audio or video recording of this public meeting or may transmit the meeting through any medium.

Attendees are therefore advised that such recordings or transmissions are being made whether perceived or unpersceived by those present and are deemed acknowledged and permissible.

We have four people with public input tonight. Um, we're going to keep three minutes, please. First up, Pam Nickerson, Harvard Street.

Hi, good evening. My name is Pam Nickerson. I live on Harvard Street. My children 20 years ago attended TANZI.

I'm an employee of Fred TV for nearly 15 years. Most of you know me in that capacity, but I supplement my income as a lifeguard supervisor and a water safety instructor at our Karen Jarabbeck Memorial Pool. I work alongside approximately 15 young people. We are trained to be proactive. Drowning is the second leading cause of death for children in the United States according to the CDC. Since December, there's been

minimal public access to our pool, which is 25 m, six lanes, and 12 ft deep. Here are a few comments from our community.

My daughter-in-law is asking about availability so Gracie can learn to swim. Another I'm sad to be taking the boys to East Providence for lessons. And from a woman whose oldest child is 17 and has Down syndrome, they are so excited to get back to swim and be happy. A grandmother raising her grandchildren said after everything they have been through, they need this. I have taught adults who avoided the water

for decades because of past trauma.

According to the National Autism Association, children with autism are 160 times more likely to die from drowning than the general pediatric population.

NAA suggests secured environments and swimming lessons. Children living in low-income areas are also at a greater risk of drowning and the CDC blames lack of access to lessons. I urge you to explore pool funding and keep lessons affordable. Ideas have been tossed around. However, I'm not involved in the talks and I have no information of a concrete solution. I'm just a lifeguard

and a taxpayer. Taxpayers in Fall River should be aware that the pool underwent an $8 million renovation and currently is not being used to its capacity. So, just like a house, a body of water requires circulation. The filtration system does its job, but even better is a pool full of people splashing, kicking, diving, and having fun.

Life-saving movements require consistent practice. Avery Anton is this year's Massachusetts Female Swimmer of the Year, and she's a soughtafter instructor. Miss Antunes has spent her own money for pool toys and prizes, and now she's without a paycheck. Amy Tibo, class of 2023, continues to break personal records at Roger Williams University on a swim scholarship. Both women followed training progression.

Successful high school teams 15 seconds.

Clubs require feeder programs. Thanks.

Public lessons should resume. Safety first. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Chair.

Mr. Chair. M.

Mr. um Aguar.

Yeah. just uh I'd like to get some information from the administration related to the pool, the comments that were made uh relative to it not being available as well as I'm not sure what's going on, but obviously the school committee is not aware of what's going on. So, if people had jobs, didn't have jobs, we had a program, don't have a program, this is not the time that we should be knowing about it. So, I'd like

a full report immediately from the administration. I yield.

Next up, Elizabeth. Mr.

Mr. Corey, uh, Miss Nickerson, can I bring you back? Just a question.

Pardon me.

Hey, Tom, just make your statement, please.

Um, are you looking for extended hours in the pool?

I'm just a lifeguard supervisor.

Okay. Thank you.

Thank you.

Next up is Elizabeth Medeiros, Courtney Drive Westport.

Three minutes, please, Elizabeth.

Thanks.

Good evening. I'm Liz Medeiros. I'm an evaluation team chair for the special education department and based out of Averis Elementary. I'm here tonight to acknowledge some changes that have happened during the budget process and impacts that should be considered by the committee as this budget moves forward and before finalizing. During this budget process, the committee voted to shift the dual language program from

Vais to a different school. I want to acknowledge the committee's efforts to hear community feedback according to the dual language program and commit to making room for the program to grow.

This is important. However, the shift to move um these classrooms from Beveris will have an impact on proposed staffing for Vavveris moving forward. Along with the move of the dual language classrooms, the reach special education classrooms are also moving from Beveris.

And between the dual program and reach classrooms, that could mean space for 14 mainstream classrooms to be filled at Beavveris next school year. As more neighborhood schools have uh as more neighborhood students have room to attend Vavveris and redistricting students back to their neighborhood school unfolds, I asked this committee to consider for that in the budget.

Originally, this was not the plan when the Beveris budget was reviewed by the committee. As it currently stands, special education teachers within inclusion classrooms at Bavaris already have demanding case loads. If the district is then planning to open additional inclusion classrooms, there will certainly be a need for not only additional classroom teachers and paraprofessionals within the budget, but

also inclusion special education positions. This is not something that was discussed by the committee at the last meeting, but it is something that will require careful planning and budgeting. I urge this committee to start that planning now. As we know, all positions, but especially special education positions are hard to fill. In fact, Bever has had an open special education position practically all year.

But with these proposed changes to both the dual language and reach program locations, we need to be proactive in our budgeting and planning now in order to recruit and hire appropriate staffing so that we begin next school year being able to provide what students need.

Thank you.

Thanks, Liz.

Next up, Kelly Gabardi, Riverside Avenue Somerset.

Good evening. I want to thank you for listening to our concerns and possible solutions to the district's current budget issues. I will begin by telling you how delighted I was when I heard one of the new school committee members say that she hopes that this is the last year that we have level school spending.

Um, and I was even more excited when she encouraged my early childhood director to ask for even more money next year because the early years is where the learning begins. As a member of that community, I can tell you that year after year, we educated early educators find ourselves dipping into our own pockets to provide the extras, actually some even some of the necessary materials to carry out our curriculum

and to make it even more fun. Right? But we're not the only educators. Every educator in this district pulls money out of their pocket. So that's that's not that's what we do. This is about how the this is about how the budget you all are Oh my goodness. Sorry, it's out of proposing in the 2627 school year will dismantle the growth and progress of many of our programs. add more work to over already overstack

tasks psychologists, special educators, foundational teachers, seal leaison, paris, everyone. But there is a solution and I heard it offered last night at the city council. When they were asked, they actually asked you how much overnet mending do we need?

They asked you.

They're going to give it to you. That's the solution. ask for more money.

Why don't we take this offer? We do not want our classroom Do you not want our classrooms fully staffed with licensed and trained personnel? Do we not want our most rumal newcomers to have success be successful in their new country so that they and their families can have better lives? Don't we want to be able to provide the children with disabilities the materials they need to succeed? or consumable materials in

early education classrooms like pom poms, feathers, pipe cleaners, baking soda, shaving cream, etc. Um, just to make their first learning experience exciting. Wouldn't it be great if every second grade has a parah?

Why stop at first? Second grade's little, too. You're going to lay off 11 paras, put them in second grades. That shows that was how it was when I began teaching and my daughter was at Westall and she had a power in her second grade classroom with Mrs. Swordsby.

Or would it be great knowing that when you call for a crisis, a level one crisis? I'm not sure if y'all know that or if you have an experienced one that somebody's coming and they're coming soon cuz there's an SEAL lison on my floor who loves our children and knows them and it's not a person and she has a rapport and she's strong with them and she loves them or he loves them, right?

Not a behaviorist that flits from city uh building to building. I don't know my BCBA at Green. I've never met her once and I have three ASD students in my classroom.

15 seconds.

Um, so we have a way to fully fund the 2026 2027 school year. It was offered to us last night. This does not even take into account the millions of dollars they still owe us because of is it the circuit breaker rule or whatever that was. And yes, we know that there is a fiscal crisis coming, but let's act proactively for for once a school for once school committee do what is right

by your students, families and educators. Keep the psychometrists, keep the leaison, keep the interventionists, keep the paris, keep the foundational classrooms.

Thank you.

Next up, Melinda Raffinan Anderson Drive. Titan.

Three minutes, please.

Good evening, Melinda.

Good evening, school committee. My name is Melinda Rafinan and I represent the psychometrists. I am speaking tonight to ask that you reconsider the elimination of our roles within the proposed budget plan. There is an old expression, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. But that is exactly what is happening within the special education department, more specifically with the psychometrists.

The positions of three highly capable, consistent, and experienced professionals are being eliminated. The question is why? We've been told the department is moving in a new direction with a plan to rely more heavily on MTSS. However, as already has as has already been stated, MTSS is not yet implemented consistently across the district. Because of this, school psychologists must still rely on the

discrepancy model to determine eligibility for special education services. This isn't about resisting change. We understand that roles can evolve. We understand that systems improve over time, but you cannot responsibly eliminate essential positions based on a system that is not ready to take its place. That is not forward thinking. That is premature. And it puts students at risk. If the school

committee is sorry, if the school committee's responsibility is to make the best decisions for students, then it's important to ask why the unanimous concerns of all the school psychologists were set aside. They presented data, outlined projected workloads, and explained how this change would stretch them beyond reasonable limits. They made it clear that replacing the psychometrists would require more than

just two additional psychologists. They also raised serious concerns about potential non-compliance and legal risks if mandated timelines are not met.

Despite this, the response has been that an additional psychologist can simply be hired and that this is not a budget issue. Yet, psychologists are compensated at a significantly higher rate than psychometrists. This raises an important question about how this aligns with the stated budget constraints driving these decisions. Team chairs have also voiced concerns, noting that the current culture and climate within

the department are already strained.

They have asked for clear data and a transparent rationale behind these changes, but we're told that reviewing this information would be too timeconuming at this time. In summary, this proposal would dismantle a system within the special education department that is currently functioning effectively. It replaces a plan. It replaces it with a plan that is not yet fully developed or reliably implemented.

It increases the workload on psychologists, reduces the time that they can spend directly supporting students, and introduces risks related to compliance and service delivery. It may also lead to increased costs in the future when additional staffing becomes necessary to address these gaps. There is no clear or compelling justification for eliminating our roles at this time and I respectfully urge you to

reconsider the decision. Thank you.

Thank you.

Next item up is the reading of the public notification.

Uh this is the public hearing in accordance with Mass General Law Chapter 71 section 38N the proposed fiscal year 2027 annual budget of the for public schools.

I have to read it three times.

This is a public hearing in accordance with Mass General Laws chapter 71 section 38N the proposed fiscal year 2027 annual budget of the far public schools.

And finally, this is a public hearing in accordance with Mass General Law Chapter 71 section 38N the proposed fiscal year 2027 annual budget of the Far Public Schools.

Anything Mr. Das?

Um just question on this process right here. I I know um we're mandated by law to hold a as we should hold a public hearing. Um the law itself isn't um very clear on how we govern that public hearing. I'm not sure there's either regulations from DESIE or if it's something that can be um handled through like individual district policies. Is how are these usually handled?

Usually just like this, Mr. Dice, right? I just think it's I I I guess I guess I'll just say silly like like I just like you have to like say it three different times and then so I thought like usually I guess going through the city council when they hold a public hearing they call opponents of the budget or whatever whatever the item is they call proponents they call the

opponents all I'm trying to say if it's something that we can govern internally we should look at the structures going forward but I don't know if there's something that's again within Desi, but I just think we need a better structure doing this going forward. I yield.

Anything further? I'll entertain a motion to adjourn.

So, second.

I have a motion and second. Deb, please call the role.

Mr. Aia, yes.

Mr. Das, yes.

Mr. Cory, yes.

Mr. Monus, yes.

Mr. Riley, yes.

I'd like to call to order the special meeting of the far school committee for April 15th. Deb, please call the role.

Mr. A here.

Mr. Das here.

Mr. Cory here.

Mr. Monus here.

Mr. Riley here.

Miss Stewart here.

Mary Kougan here. To the flag.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all for all.

Pursuant to the open meeting law, any person may make an audio or video recording of this public meeting or may transmit the meeting through any medium.

Attendees are therefore advised that such recordings or transmissions are being made whether perceived or unpersceived by those present and are deemed acknowledged and permissible. We have no further citizens input tonight.

So we'll go right to the committee of the whole. 31 is a discussion and vote to approve the proposed fiscal year 2027 annual operating budget of the for public schools as presented by Liz Legal, deputy superintendent of schools.

He's going to go down here.

Good evening.

Good evening. We did have the presentation and we do have it available. And we thought we would put down the screen so that it could be viewed once again and so that those in the audience that are here this evening can see the presentation again and we'll walk us through it. and we thought that Kevin and I would sit here tonight and um go through it with you and Mr. El um

and we'll put the screen down now. It'll take us about 10 minutes and then we'll go from there. Thank you.

Hey, uh Deb supposed to have the numbers.

Oh, they're there. So, when do I go to that part?

No. Okay. So, when do I go to this point?

Are you doing this here?

You need to read this.

Okay. So, that'll be number two.

Yeah. It's just number two.

Number two.

And then I'll make the first motion and I'll go.

Yes.

Gotcha.

Do this first.

You ready? I just got

start. So, good evening.

We are here to present the Fall River Public Schools FY27 proposed budget. I would defer to the CFO of the Fall River Public Schools, Mr. Kevin Almeida.

Hello everybody. Thank you for having me.

So, just a quick rundown and what we presented last night. So, our enrollment from October one uh from this past year to the previous year increased by 95 students. And as you can see here, here's the breakdown in the levels.

Just real quick, the Student Opportunity Act, I know it's been discussed many times, uh, we are actually in going into in FY27 into the sixth year, which represents the last year of the Student Opportunity Act funding. So, I just wanted to make that note.

Uh, chapter 70, just a quick rundown on chapter 70 since 2022.

You can see that we've grown from 145 million in 2022 to two to 230,788 276 in 2026. And what is being proposed in the governor's budget is 250,549046 or an 8.6% increase or just under $20 million.

The required local contribution in the same time frame um started at 34,270 in 2022.

Uh in 2026 uh just under 43.2 million and what's proposed in the governor's budget for 2027 is 47 million 33824 or just under a $4 million increase or an 8.9% increase.

net school spending. So net school spending in that same time frame has increased from 178 million in 2022 to 20 just under 274 million in 2026.

What is being proposed in the governor's budget for FY27 is 297 million 582870.

And so it's a 23.6 million increase or an 8.6% increase overall.

uh the indirect cost agreement. Just a quick comment on the indirect cost agreement. So I sent this to them.

Okay. Great. So this is the agreement that outlines all the costs that sit on the city side uh for which we report um on the end of the year report that uh represents school costs that sit on the city side. And just a quick note that if there's any discrepancy uh in the agreement that it can be modified through a mutual agreement or by the deescalator.

This slide provides you what's eligible under the city costs of the um indirect cost agreement. And just real quickly, the per pupil administrative cost, school snow expense, fall for retirement contributions, health, life and dental insurance expense, portion of legal expenses, uh property and liability expenses, and then the assessments. So the assessments for special ed school choice and the charter schools.

These costs are also reported on the ends of the year report, but they're not eligible um for net school spending. And so those cost costs are the debt costs, principal and interest, uh bond anticipation note interest, school crossing guards, the regional assessments for diamond and brrisy uh purchase of land or buildings and equipment over $150,000.

So this this slide provides you with what transportation expense has been for the last four years from 2022 to 2025.

As you can see, the transportation expense in 2022 was just over 11 million, nearly 11.5. Uh in 2025, it was just over $15 million.

This slide provide u this slide's here because it's, you know, it's our biggest expense on the um city side of the ledger, uh which is health insurance.

And so uh you can see that for the four years from 21 to 24 the number was very static from 20 between 22 and 25 million. We had a large increase last year in 2025 due to high uh increase in claims and due to uh the weight loss drugs.

And so finally, so the budget that's being proposed tonight uh is 100% or of net school spending. And so the proposed school operating budget is 212,582416.

What is being proposed for the transportation budget and this is the amount that just sits on the operating budget side. Uh in total transportation is just over 17 million. Uh with funding coming from circuit breaker and the Mckin Vento account. uh and what is being proposed in the transportation budget uh for the operating on the operating side uh is 13,85048.

This slide provides you what with what the position increases are for this year. And so as you can see they're all listed here. Um, there are 20 new positions on the operating side, a net zero on the grants, and on the revolving budget, a total of three positions.

Thank you.

Just in case there's any questions about

I don't love the set of

Okay.

Any discussion?

Mr. Yeah, Mr. M, can you tell me what 1% of net school spending is?

Uh, just just under 3 million. So, roughly 2 uh 2.97 million. Roughly in that range.

Thank you. The uh only question I had was and I I might have missed it about the uh projections.

So I don't have them available but we have the super the deputy superintendent and I have talked about it and it will be something that I am working on very shortly.

So um that's fine. My concern was back before we started the budget process was that we had we have added a lot of positions. There's the student opportunity act. There's a lot of moving parts to the budget. One of the fiduciary responsibilities is to make sure that we are not going to be at what they call a fiscal cliff where next year we're going to have to lay a bunch of

people off that we hired or something like that. Nothing that anybody wants and I know you don't. I know the deputy doesn't want to do that either, but we have nothing concrete that says that and that bothers me that we've I've been asking for that for over a month and we don't have it. So, I'm just going to make a statement that as one school committee member, I'm trusting that we have projected and

planned out accordingly for future years. And I can tell you as this me school committee member, if it comes back next year that we did something that is going to make us at a fiscal cliff, I am not going to be a happy school committee member and I will definitely take votes to make whatever decisions we have to make along that way because we should have it. There's no

excuse why we don't have it. Um I I do think that the budget's been on time. We we've done all that stuff, but we have to be able to assure us in all the slides that the people see that we know what it's happening. I get the questions. I'm sure other people have the same ones. How many more years can we get $18 million difference additional money and how are we going to survive in

year two, three, four, five after? So, I'm disappointed that we don't have it, but I I mean it with 100% sincerity. If something goes arai, it's not going to be good. I yield.

Anything further?

Hearing none.

The chair recognizes that before consideration of the proposed school budget, a common conflict of interest has been disclosed by two members of our school committee. School committee member Thomas Curry has advised the immediate family member. His daughter Janna is employed by the school department and has a financial interest in the following budget line 20363250-5122 consistent with the general laws chapter

268A section 19. Mr. Corey will not participate in discussion, deliberation or vote on that effective line item.

Furthermore, school committee member Emanuel Monus has advised that an immediate family member, his wife Don Monus, is employed by the school department and has a financial interest in the following budget line item 2551511215 consistent with general laws chapter 268A section 19. Mr. Monus will not participate in discussion, de liiberation, or vote on that affected line item.

Mr. Chair, Mr. Aguar, I'd like to make a motion to move that the committee separate from the proposed school budget line item 203-63250-511220 that includes compensation affecting John Accori so that the such item may be considered and acted upon separately by the disinterested committees disinterested members of the committee.

Yes. Like to make a motion that we move the committee to separate from the proposed school budget line item 2550-5001-511215 that includes compensation affecting Dawn Monus so that such item may be considered and acted upon separately by the disinterested members of the committee.

Second.

Yes, Mr. Aguia.

Like to make a motion to approve line item 25501-511215 in the amount of 56,779.

Second.

I have a motion and a second. Discussion hearing none. Deb, would you please call the role?

Mr.

Yes.

Mr. uh Das.

Yes. Mr. Cory, yes.

Mr. Monus, abstain.

Mr. Riley, yes.

Miss Stewart, yes.

Mayor Couan, yes. Mr. Aguar, like to make a motion to approve Don Monus' salary of 575 $56,779 charged to parent and community engagement center clerical line item 25-5001-511215.

Mr. Yes.

Mr. Das.

Yes. Mr. Cory, yes.

Mr. Monas, abstain.

Miss Riley, yes.

Miss Stewart, yes.

Mayor Kan, yes. Mr. Aguar, yes. So, uh, this motion is relative to the proposed fiscal year budget. And based on what Mr. Almea just said of, uh, basically $3 million being 1% of net school spending. I'd like to make a motion that the committee approved the proposed fiscal year annual budget, the fall of our public schools in the amount of I'm going to add 3 million to that.

So 212,582,416 plus 3 million which would be 101% of net school spending.

Second.

I have a motion to second. Uh I'm going to hold it 100%. I think that that's what we agreed on and uh if the motion passes then we'll make the necessary arrangements. Anything further, Mr. Dus?

Thank you. I was actually um going to make like a similar motion.

However, um I'll support Mr. Aguar's looking through the um Mass General laws. If the school committee recommends a budget over um the allocated amount recommended by the mayor and we make that recommendation, the city council does have the authority with a twoth3 vote to um add that additional monies to the budget if they so choose. I yield.

Um uh again, as everyone's aware, uh I got elected in 2020. The school department budget's gone up 81%.

Not because of, uh my administration, because of the Student Opportunity Act.

We've now leveled off at a significantly higher plateau. Uh many of our neighboring communities around us are undergoing budget deficits. Um, I think that the city of Fall River working with the council and the school committee, we've done a great job of maintaining our money and we have a solid stabilization fund and free cash and we're going to work our way through this. But with that

being said, Deb, can you call the role?

Mr.

Yes.

Mr. Das, yes.

Mr. Corey, yes.

Mr. Monus, yes.

Miss Riley, yes.

Miss Stewart, yes.

Mayan, no. The eighth motion, Mr. I'd like to make a motion to approve the proposed fiscal year 2027 transportation budget of the for schools in the amount of 13,850,48.

I have a motion to second on transportation hearing. Nothing further. Deb, would you please call the role?

Mr.

Yes.

Mr. Das, yes.

Mr. Corey, yes.

Mr. Monus, yes.

M Riley, yes.

Miss Stewart, yes.

Mayor Coug, yes.

So, we've done the transportation budget 3.2 and the 3.3 is the vote to refer the fiscal year 2027 annual budget of to the for of the far public schools to the mayor for approval.
