October Board of Ed: FY21

Wulfson: FY19 supplemental budget
with the hope that it will allow the Comptroller to close the books
"because they're in the year end appropriations, they'll go to the general fund as revenue"
"basically adds to the city or town's year end surplus...and gets carried into next year's"
"doesn't automatically give more revenue to the school department; it gives more revenue to the city or town who could choose to appropriate that at a later date"

Mills: goals for the department should reflect the core strategies for the year
ask for focus for year
key priorities: investments in partnership with districts, targeted interventions, increased literacy resources, arts and health frameworks PD
and will there be additional needs with changes in foundation budget
another meeting in two weeks, then budget recommendations before the Board in November
 and that's a wrap
