Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1120.80 9.44 So<space>if<space>you<space>look<space>at<space>that<space>reading<space>score,<space>there's<space>gonna<space>be<space>a<space>huge<space>increase<space>in<space>looking<space>at<space>informational<space>texts<space>versus<space>non-fiction<space>versus<space>fiction<space>text,<space>and<space>really<space>increasing<space>that<space>number.

Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1149.20 13.60 So<space>I'm<space>thinking<space>that<space>a<space>number<space>of<space>the<space>things<space>that<space>are<space>gonna<space>happen<space>within<space>common<space>core<space>will<space>kind<space>of<space>address<space>those<space>issues.

Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1225.36 1.84 You've<space>gotta<space>get<space>them<space>excited<space>about<space>science.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1227.20 2.96 They've<space>gotta<space>have<space>a<space>kind<space>of<space>a<space>math<space>and<space>science<space>club<space>feeling.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1230.24 1.44 We've<space>gotta<space>get<space>excited<space>about<space>it.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1231.76 13.36 Perhaps<space>somebody<space>can<space>come<space>in<space>and<space>help<space>with<space>school<space>with<space>robotics<space>and<space>get<space>the<space>kids<space>excited<space>about<space>these<space>things<space>to<space>help<space>some<space>of<space>the<space>boys<space>who<space>are<space>excited<space>and<space>think<space>of<space>themselves<space>as<space>men<space>of<space>science.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1245.60 2.24 So<space>indeed<space>this<space>past<space>school<space>year...
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1247.84 5.76 This<space>current<space>school<space>year,<space>we<space>have<space>a<space>science<space>in<space>residence<space>program<space>that<space>our<space>enrichment<space>teacher<space>and<space>one<space>of<space>our<space>parents<space>has<space>organized<space>to<space>kind<space>of...
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1253.68 5.12 We<space>basically<space>invite<space>scientists,<space>real,<space>practicing<space>scientists<space>who<space>come<space>in<space>and<space>tell<space>us<space>what<space>it<space>is<space>to<space>be<space>a<space>scientist<space>and<space>what<space>you<space>get<space>to<space>do.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1258.80 5.76 And<space>we've<space>had<space>a<space>geologists<space>come<space>in,<space>we've<space>had<space>a<space>physicist<space>come<space>in<space>and<space>it's<space>really<space>been<space>exciting.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1264.56 6.32 We've<space>had<space>a<space>person<space>who<space>studies<space>wildlife<space>biology.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1270.88 1.60 So<space>that's<space>really<space>neat.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1273.76 5.44 It's<space>like<space>a<space>celebrity<space>comes<space>to<space>school<space>and<space>that<space>celebrity<space>is<space>a<space>scientist,<space>so<space>it's<space>been<space>pretty<space>exciting.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1279.20 10.00 And<space>I<space>think<space>those<space>things<space>are<space>a<space>piece<space>of<space>the<space>work-<space>-<space>Sorry.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1289.20 3.20 The<space>other<space>case-<space>-<space>Sorry<space>and<space>get<space>out<space>of<space>the<space>way.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1292.40 6.00 The<space>other<space>case<space>would<space>be<space>really<space>looking<space>at<space>that<space>science<space>and<space>what<space>science<space>inquiry<space>means,<space>and<space>really<space>looking<space>at<space>our<space>science<space>units<space>to<space>increase<space>inquiry.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1298.72 1.12 If<space>you<space>look<space>at<space>our...
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1299.84 5.44 We're<space>working<space>on<space>that<space>obviously<space>increased<space>the<space>most<space>exciting<space>part<space>of<space>science<space>.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1305.60 8.08 If<space>you<space>look<space>at<space>our<space>current<space>science<space>curriculum,<space>it's<space>strong<space>inquiry,<space>you'll<space>see<space>a<space>strong<space>inquiry<space>unit.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1313.68 6.64 In<space>first<space>grade,<space>second<space>grade,<space>we<space>really<space>were<space>changing<space>those<space>units<space>to<space>make<space>them<space>stronger<space>inquiry<space>based<space>units.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1320.32 6.96 And<space>then<space>again,<space>looking<space>at<space>third<space>grade<space>as<space>a<space>strong<space>inquiry<space>base,<space>and<space>then<space>trying<space>to<space>improve<space>that<space>within<space>fourth<space>grade.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1327.28 9.84 So<space>we<space>really<space>saw<space>some<space>places<space>where<space>children<space>take<space>that<space>science<space>test<space>only<space>once<space>in<space>our<space>school,<space>they<space>take<space>at<space>the<space>spring<space>of<space>fourth<space>grade.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1338.64 3.12 So<space>some<space>of<space>the<space>strongest<space>inquiry<space>work<space>was<space>in<space>first<space>and<space>third<space>grade.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1341.84 2.72 So<space>really<space>looking<space>to<space>move<space>that<space>across<space>time.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1344.56 5.68 So<space>you<space>will<space>see<space>kids<space>who<space>get<space>to<space>have<space>that<space>experience<space>more<space>often.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1350.24 8.72 So<space>more<space>inquiry<space>experience<space>and<space>understanding<space>the<space>rigor<space>around<space>that,<space>that<space>you<space>sort<space>of<space>the<space>rigor<space>around<space>sciences.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1359.20 5.84 It's<space>not<space>just<space>an<space>experiment<space>that<space>you<space>really<space>have<space>to<space>know<space>how<space>to<space>collect<space>and<space>analyze<space>and<space>use<space>data.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1365.20 7.52 So<space>that<space>science<space>inquiry<space>task<space>that<space>they<space>have<space>to<space>do<space>is<space>pretty<space>rigorous<space>around<space>those<space>kind<space>of<space>pieces.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1372.72 3.52 And<space>we've<space>been<space>also<space>thinking<space>about<space>some<space>work.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1376.24 6.16 Our<space>first<space>grade<space>teachers<space>are<space>combining<space>their<space>data<space>unit<space>and<space>mathematics<space>with<space>their<space>science<space>unit.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1382.40 4.64 So<space>really<space>to<space>kind<space>of<space>say<space>that<space>this<space>is<space>connected<space>sort<space>of<space>trying<space>to<space>show<space>those<space>connections.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1387.04 3.28 So<space>I<space>think<space>we<space>are<space>beginning<space>to<space>address<space>it.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1391.12 6.48 What's<space>happening<space>nationwide<space>is<space>we're<space>gonna<space>have<space>the<space>next<space>generation<space>science<space>standards<space>coming<space>in.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1397.60 8.96 So<space>if<space>you<space>watch<space>the<space>new<space>common<space>core<space>and<space>reading<space>and<space>writing<space>and<space>mathematics<space>and<space>sort<space>of<space>next<space>on<space>the<space>plate<space>is<space>a<space>science<space>so<space>we're<space>kind<space>of<space>preparing<space>for<space>that.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1406.88 12.80 So<space>ongoing<space>work<space>which<space>is<space>critical,<space>I<space>agree.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1420.24 4.08 Okay,<space>let's<space>move<space>on<space>to<space>the<space>budget.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1425.68 16.16 Those<space>of<space>you<space>who<space>attend<space>to<space>every<space>year,<space>I'm<space>sure<space>that<space>you<space>now<space>understand<space>all<space>the<space>ins<space>and<space>outs<space>of<space>how<space>the<space>budget<space>relates<space>for<space>your<space>property<space>taxes,<space>but<space>in<space>case<space>there's<space>anyone<space>new<space>or<space>anyone<space>who<space>takes<space>a<space>long<space>time<space>to<space>finally<space>get<space>it<space>like<space>myself.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1442.40 9.60 I'm<space>gonna<space>go<space>over<space>this<space>'cause<space>I<space>think<space>that's<space>really<space>important<space>to<space>understand,<space>and<space>it<space>is<space>fairly<space>complex<space>way<space>that<space>this<space>works<space>here<space>for<space>us<space>in<space>Vermont.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1452.00 2.72 So<space>yeah,<space>that<space>would<space>be<space>helpful.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1454.72 1.28 Let's<space>just...
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1456.24 5.04 Yeah<space>there<space>should<space>be<space>a<space>little<space>bit<space>more,<space>there<space>we<space>go.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1462.40 6.56 So<space>property<space>tax<space>rates<space>are<space>based<space>on<space>education,<space>spending<space>per<space>equalized<space>pupil.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1469.28 9.52 And<space>you<space>can<space>see<space>where<space>they<space>asterisks<space>what<space>an<space>equalized<space>pupil<space>actually<space>is,<space>how<space>we're<space>defining<space>an<space>equalized<space>pupil.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1480.16 3.36 Stop<space>me<space>at<space>anytime<space>if<space>you<space>have<space>questions.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1484.40 8.24 Districts<space>which<space>have<space>have<space>the<space>same<space>education<space>spending<space>per<space>equalized<space>pupil<space>will<space>have<space>the<space>same<space>equalized<space>property<space>tax<space>rate.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1493.12 2.00 With<space>me<space>so<space>far?
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1495.52 1.36 Okay.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1499.84 5.84 Pending<space>legislative<space>approval,<space>the<space>statewide<space>homestead<space>tax<space>rate<space>is<space>going<space>to<space>be<space>92<space>cents.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1506.00 1.92 Something<space>we<space>have<space>no<space>control<space>over.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1508.08 3.20 And<space>the<space>base<space>education<space>amount<space>also<space>does<space>fine...
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1511.28 7.52 Which<space>is<space>also<space>defined<space>by<space>the<space>legislature<space>of<space>$8,915.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1519.92 9.20 I<space>think<space>it's<space>really<space>important<space>to<space>emphasize<space>that<space>that<space>is<space>a<space>number<space>that<space>is<space>not<space>intended<space>and<space>was<space>never<space>intended<space>to<space>be<space>a<space>recommended<space>per<space>pupil<space>expenditure.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1529.60 7.84 It's<space>a<space>number<space>that<space>is<space>used<space>for<space>calculating<space>the<space>tax<space>rate,<space>current<space>symbol.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1539.52 0.64 Okay.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1540.32 10.08 So<space>if<space>the<space>education<space>spending<space>per<space>equalized<space>pupil<space>is<space>equal<space>to<space>the<space>base<space>education<space>amount,<space>then<space>the<space>tax<space>rate<space>will<space>be<space>92<space>cents.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1550.64 7.52 Spending<space>more<space>than<space>the<space>base<space>education<space>amount<space>per<space>equalized<space>pupil<space>will<space>increase<space>the<space>tax<space>rate.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1560.32 0.80 Okay.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1561.44 4.32 Now,<space>just<space>a<space>little<space>caveat<space>here.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1566.24 8.80 But<space>at<space>Act<space>130,<space>just<space>to<space>point<space>out<space>that<space>the<space>town...
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1575.04 8.32 Jericho<space>Town<space>School<space>District<space>could<space>place<space>its<space>own<space>tax<space>rate<space>and<space>the<space>MMU<space>school<space>district<space>also<space>pay<space>for<space>its<space>own<space>tax<space>rate.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1583.52 7.60 And<space>then<space>the<space>two<space>tax<space>rates<space>are<space>prorated<space>by<space>the<space>number<space>of<space>equalized<space>pupils<space>in<space>each<space>district<space>and<space>added<space>together.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1591.12 6.32 So<space>we<space>end<space>up<space>with<space>one<space>overall<space>tax<space>rate.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1601.92 19.76 So<space>based<space>on<space>this<space>proposed<space>budget,<space>our<space>education<space>spending<space>per<space>equalized<space>pupil<space>at<space>the<space>elementary<space>level<space>is<space>$14,786,<space>which<space>is<space>65.86%<space>more<space>than<space>the<space>base<space>ed,<space>base<space>education<space>amount.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1622.08 15.68 And<space>so<space>then<space>you<space>could<space>see<space>what<space>that<space>will<space>do<space>to<space>the<space>tax<space>rate,<space>which<space>is<space>increase<space>it<space>by<space>65.86%<space>and<space>leave<space>us<space>with<space>a<space>tax<space>rate<space>of<space>$1.53.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1638.40 14.16 That<space>then<space>gets<space>prorated<space>by<space>the<space>number<space>of<space>elementary<space>school<space>aged<space>equalized<space>pupil<space>in<space>Jericho,<space>or<space>I'm<space>sorry,<space>by<space>the<space>percentage<space>of<space>pupils<space>which<space>aren't<space>elementary<space>pupils.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1653.76 10.40 And<space>we<space>end<space>up<space>with<space>our<space>prorated<space>homestead<space>tax<space>rate,<space>dumped<space>it<space>all.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1664.88 1.04 Okay.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1667.76 4.48 Questions<space>so<space>far?
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1676.00 1.68 I'm<space>Rob<space>Allen.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1678.48 8.24 You<space>started<space>your<space>presentation<space>with<space>the<space>fact<space>that<space>the<space>number<space>of<space>students<space>is<space>going<space>up<space>last<space>year<space>to<space>this<space>year<space>by<space>a<space>considerable<space>jump.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1687.04 7.52 Does<space>that<space>mean<space>that<space>the<space>number<space>of<space>actual<space>students<space>this<space>year<space>will<space>be<space>higher<space>than<space>the<space>number<space>of<space>equalized<space>students<space>because<space>of<space>the<space>two-year<space>averaging?
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1694.80 7.44 So<space>we<space>through<space>our<space>spending<space>per<space>pupil<space>is<space>artificially<space>high<space>because<space>our<space>enrollment's<space>going<space>up<space>year-over-year?
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1703.04 3.68 Well,<space>yes<space>to<space>the<space>first<space>part<space>of<space>the<space>question.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1707.04 5.76 And<space>Vicky,<space>did<space>you<space>wanna<space>say<space>something<space>about<space>that?
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1713.36 4.08 Oh,<space>Bob<space>Fanie.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1718.08 4.24 Hi,<space>I'm<space>Bob<space>Fanie,<space>a<space>Business<space>Manager<space>for<space>Chittenden<space>East.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1722.56 4.96 And<space>if<space>there<space>is<space>a<space>lag<space>with<space>the<space>equalized<space>pupil<space>because<space>of<space>the<space>average.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1727.52 4.56 So<space>you<space>could<space>have<space>a-<space>-<space>The<space>weighted<space>daily<space>average.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1732.64 7.04 It's<space>a<space>two<space>year<space>average<space>daily<space>membership,<space>and<space>there's<space>some<space>weighting<space>factors<space>that<space>are<space>incorporated<space>in<space>the<space>calculation.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1740.00 2.00 So<space>you<space>can<space>see<space>differences.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1742.40 11.28 The<space>directions<space>could<space>be<space>different<space>until<space>there's<space>a<space>catch-up,<space>if<space>there's<space>a<space>sharp<space>change<space>in<space>the<space>number<space>of<space>students<space>in<space>a<space>particular<space>district.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1754.16 2.32 It's<space>that<space>answer?
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1756.80 3.68 Yes.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1761.36 0.48 Yes.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1761.92 0.48 Yes.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1762.64 1.28 Yes.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1764.48 5.60 So<space>'till<space>next<space>year.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1770.72 1.04 Okay<space>so...
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1771.76 1.20 Yep.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1773.76 1.52 Oh,<space>let<space>me<space>talk<space>to<space>Austin.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1775.28 5.60 I<space>did<space>a<space>question<space>about<space>how<space>is<space>the<space>percentage<space>of<space>elementary<space>students<space>calculate<space>it?
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1780.88 4.88 Is<space>that<space>something<space>like<space>K<space>through<space>four<space>versus<space>five<space>through<space>12<space>in<space>Jericho?
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1786.00 0.32 Yeah.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1786.48 7.44 K<space>through<space>four,<space>we<space>are<space>defining<space>elementary<space>pupils<space>as<space>students<space>who<space>would<space>attend<space>Jericho<space>Elementary<space>School.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1793.92 3.04 So<space>that's<space>K<space>through<space>four<space>only.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1797.84 10.72 Fifth<space>through<space>12th<space>grade<space>is<space>part<space>of<space>the<space>MMU<space>school<space>district<space>for<space>our<space>purposes.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1809.20 4.32 Okay,<space>so<space>the<space>common<space>level<space>appraisal.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1817.36 1.36 I'm<space>not<space>gonna<space>go<space>through<space>all<space>of<space>this.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1818.80 1.76 You<space>can<space>read<space>it,<space>ask<space>me<space>if<space>you<space>have<space>questions.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1820.64 9.76 Basically<space>right<space>now,<space>Jericho<space>CLA<space>is<space>so<space>close<space>to<space>100%<space>that<space>it<space>is<space>not<space>going<space>to<space>change<space>your<space>tax<space>rate<space>for<space>this.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1832.64 12.24 It's<space>in<space>the<space>10th<space>of<space>a<space>cent<space>range,<space>the<space>change,<space>the<space>tax<space>rate<space>and<space>then<space>it<space>ended<space>up<space>rounding<space>back<space>to<space>the<space>47<space>cents.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1844.96 17.36 So<space>that<space>simplifies<space>that<space>for<space>this<space>year,<space>at<space>least.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1864.32 29.84 So<space>this<space>sort<space>of<space>this<space>chart<space>shows<space>how<space>the<space>elementary<space>portion,<space>elementary<space>home<space>portion,<space>that<space>homestead<space>tax<space>rate<space>combines<space>with<space>the<space>Mt.<space>Vans<space>fields<space>portion<space>for<space>students<space>in<space>grades<space>five<space>through<space>12,<space>to<space>get<space>our<space>overall<space>tax<space>rate.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1894.24 6.32 And<space>just<space>a<space>little<space>bit<space>about<space>income<space>sensitivity,<space>if<space>we<space>could<space>just<space>go<space>to<space>that<space>next<space>slide.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1901.44 7.52 Just<space>like<space>to<space>point<space>out<space>that<space>there<space>is<space>adjustment<space>for<space>income<space>sensitivity.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1909.04 16.16 So<space>you<space>can<space>see<space>that<space>up<space>through<space>an<space>income<space>of<space>$90,000,<space>there<space>is<space>some<space>adjustment<space>in<space>a<space>downward<space>fashion<space>of<space>what<space>you<space>have<space>to<space>pay,<space>what<space>you<space>would<space>have<space>to<space>pay.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1927.28 12.56 I<space>believe<space>that<space>caps<space>out<space>at<space>90,000,<space>household<space>income<space>about<space>2000.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1940.56 6.96 The<space>last<space>year,<space>this<space>slide<space>will<space>have<space>to<space>be<space>up<space>here<space>because<space>Act<space>82<space>was<space>phasing<space>out.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1947.92 8.40 But<space>basically<space>Act<space>82<space>limited<space>the<space>amount<space>of<space>increased<space>spending<space>that<space>school<space>boards<space>could...
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1956.56 5.44 School<space>districts<space>can<space>propose.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1962.48 15.60 Well,<space>we<space>can<space>propose<space>anything<space>we<space>wanted,<space>but<space>at<space>over<space>a<space>certain<space>cap,<space>there<space>would<space>have<space>to<space>be<space>a<space>complicated<space>two<space>vote<space>sort<space>of<space>situation,<space>which<space>fortunately<space>for<space>us,<space>we<space>are<space>not<space>in<space>this<space>year.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1978.16 9.20 So<space>we<space>were<space>able<space>to<space>come<space>in<space>under<space>the<space>maximum<space>increase<space>allowed.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1989.12 1.76 This<space>might<space>be<space>a<space>little<space>hard<space>to<space>see.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 1991.04 15.76 This<space>is<space>also<space>on<space>page<space>66,<space>was<space>sort<space>of<space>summary<space>of<space>the<space>budget.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2006.96 20.16 And<space>what<space>I<space>tried<space>to<space>do<space>with<space>this<space>chart<space>was<space>just<space>include<space>the<space>line<space>items<space>that<space>have<space>gone<space>up<space>or<space>gone<space>down<space>with<space>a<space>couple<space>of<space>exceptions<space>that<space>snuck<space>in<space>into<space>my<space>chart<space>that<space>have<space>gone<space>up<space>and<space>down<space>by<space>4%<space>or<space>more.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2027.52 6.88 So<space>that<space>you<space>could<space>see<space>really<space>what's<space>driving<space>the<space>budget<space>this<space>year.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2035.20 10.96 And<space>what<space>is<space>driving<space>the<space>budget,<space>our<space>increases<space>in<space>teacher<space>salaries<space>by<space>the<space>negotiated<space>settlement.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2046.40 11.68 So<space>that's<space>sort<space>of<space>a<space>given<space>health<space>significant,<space>pre-healthcare<space>premium<space>increases.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2059.04 14.32 A<space>very<space>large<space>increase,<space>13.81%<space>increase<space>in<space>our<space>Jericho's<space>portion<space>of<space>the<space>special<space>education<space>assessment.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2079.28 1.92 Right.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2083.12 3.12 Yeah,<space>because-<space>-<space>What<space>was<space>the<space>question?
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2086.88 1.92 We<space>pay<space>based<space>on<space>the<space>number...
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2088.80 1.52 Our<space>total<space>number<space>of<space>students.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2090.40 1.60 We<space>pay<space>this...
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2092.00 4.56 They're<space>asking<space>about<space>the<space>special<space>education<space>assessment,<space>which<space>Vicky<space>and<space>I<space>just<space>talked<space>about<space>this.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2097.04 10.40 Why,<space>even<space>though<space>we<space>have<space>fewer<space>students<space>eligible<space>for<space>special<space>ed<space>currently<space>this<space>year,<space>why<space>our<space>special<space>education<space>costs<space>are<space>going<space>up.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2107.60 19.76 And<space>a<space>special<space>education<space>budget<space>is<space>calculated<space>as<space>a<space>supervisory,<space>union-wide<space>system<space>that<space>we<space>are<space>part<space>of<space>where<space>each<space>school<space>is<space>assessed<space>a<space>certain<space>share<space>of<space>the<space>special<space>ed<space>total<space>cost<space>based<space>on<space>how<space>many<space>students<space>we<space>have.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2127.52 4.64 So<space>that<space>based<space>on<space>in<space>the<space>district.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2132.24 5.20 So<space>we<space>have<space>230<space>odd<space>students.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2137.60 5.44 So<space>our<space>share<space>of<space>the<space>special<space>education<space>assessment<space>is...
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2143.04 1.92 Or<space>the<space>special<space>ed<space>budget.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2145.04 3.60 What<space>we're<space>assessed<space>is<space>based<space>on<space>that<space>number<space>of<space>students.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2149.12 11.68 Smaller<space>elementary<space>schools<space>pay<space>a<space>smaller<space>share,<space>bigger<space>schools,<space>pay<space>a<space>bigger<space>share<space>because<space>the<space>predictability<space>of<space>need<space>from<space>year-to-year<space>it's<space>unpredictable.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2160.88 6.32 So<space>right<space>now,<space>we<space>may<space>be<space>paying<space>more<space>than<space>we're<space>actually<space>using.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2168.48 4.96 Other<space>years,<space>we<space>may<space>be<space>kind<space>of<space>getting<space>a<space>good<space>deal,<space>basically.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2175.60 13.28 It<space>would<space>not<space>be<space>feasible<space>for<space>us<space>to<space>set<space>that<space>budget<space>in<space>a<space>way<space>that...
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2188.88 4.16 It's<space>just<space>the<space>amount<space>of<space>the<space>special<space>ed<space>need<space>is<space>unpredictable.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2193.04 17.44 So<space>we<space>can't<space>just<space>have<space>a<space>flat<space>number<space>from<space>year<space>to<space>year.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2210.80 0.72 Does<space>that<space>make<space>sense?
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2211.52 1.20 It's<space>Marsha<space>Morel.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2212.96 6.08 I'm<space>just<space>wondering<space>where<space>is<space>the<space>cost<space>per<space>special<space>ed<space>service<space>or<space>whatever.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2219.04 2.72 I<space>mean,<space>where<space>that<space>is<space>either<space>going<space>up<space>or<space>down.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2221.84 7.04 I<space>mean,<space>I<space>hear<space>our<space>assessment's<space>going<space>up<space>and<space>I<space>base<space>that<space>my<space>assumption<space>is<space>on<space>our<space>enrollment<space>is<space>going<space>up,<space>so<space>we<space>have<space>more<space>kids.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2229.20 3.20 But<space>where<space>do<space>we<space>affect<space>that<space>budget?
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2232.64 7.92 That<space>total<space>amount<space>spent<space>so<space>that<space>as<space>our<space>percent<space>goes<space>up<space>or<space>stays<space>the<space>same,<space>we<space>can<space>make<space>some<space>kind<space>of<space>decisions<space>on<space>that<space>number.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2241.68 2.00 Finished<space>up<space>my<space>question.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2243.76 1.92 Yeah,<space>I<space>think<space>so.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2247.28 8.40 I<space>mean,<space>one<space>thing<space>I<space>can<space>say<space>to<space>speak<space>to<space>that<space>is<space>that,<space>I<space>mean<space>need<space>in<space>general<space>for<space>special<space>ed<space>services<space>is<space>going<space>up.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2256.00 7.52 So<space>we're<space>needing<space>more<space>special<space>educators.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2263.60 11.68 We<space>have<space>more<space>kids<space>who<space>are<space>eligible<space>for<space>special<space>ed<space>services,<space>and<space>we're<space>obligated<space>to<space>provide<space>appropriate<space>education<space>for<space>every<space>student<space>regardless<space>of<space>need.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2275.36 8.80 So<space>if<space>as<space>a<space>district,<space>as<space>a<space>supervisory<space>union,<space>we<space>have<space>more<space>special<space>education<space>eligible<space>students.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2284.24 3.28 We're<space>going<space>to<space>have,<space>the<space>budget<space>is<space>going<space>to<space>go<space>up.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2287.76 10.24 And<space>I<space>think<space>that<space>just<space>the<space>general<space>trend,<space>not<space>this<space>year<space>in<space>this<space>school,<space>but<space>the<space>general<space>trend<space>is<space>that<space>more<space>kids<space>are<space>being<space>identified<space>as<space>in<space>need<space>of<space>special<space>ed<space>services.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2298.16 5.12 So<space>that's<space>one<space>sort<space>of<space>a<space>general<space>statement.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2303.76 5.60 The<space>special<space>ed<space>budget<space>is<space>approved<space>on<space>a<space>supervisory<space>union<space>level.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2309.36 4.08 So<space>that's<space>the<space>central<space>office.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2313.44 4.40 It's<space>part<space>of<space>this,<space>it's<space>a<space>central<space>office.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2318.56 20.88 So<space>I'm<space>not<space>really<space>sure<space>how<space>we<space>affect<space>that<space>as<space>an<space>individual<space>board,<space>unless<space>we<space>decide<space>that<space>we're<space>not<space>gonna<space>participate<space>at<space>all,<space>or<space>that<space>we're<space>gonna<space>somehow<space>decide<space>as<space>an<space>elementary<space>school<space>that<space>we<space>want<space>to<space>contract<space>out<space>or<space>pay<space>for<space>our<space>own<space>special<space>ed<space>services.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2339.52 5.44 But<space>that's<space>a<space>big<space>risk.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2345.12 15.76 Because<space>if<space>we<space>have<space>one<space>student<space>come<space>in<space>next<space>week,<space>who<space>we<space>weren't<space>budgeted<space>for,<space>that<space>could<space>entail<space>another<space>expense<space>in<space>the<space>tens<space>of<space>thousands<space>of<space>dollars<space>that<space>wasn't<space>budgeted<space>for.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2360.88 14.00 And<space>because<space>students<space>go<space>in<space>and<space>out<space>with<space>not<space>a<space>lot<space>of<space>predictability,<space>this<space>is<space>kind<space>of<space>a<space>way<space>that<space>we<space>assure<space>that<space>we<space>are<space>able<space>to<space>afford<space>to<space>provide<space>the<space>special<space>ed<space>services<space>for<space>any<space>student<space>who<space>might<space>need<space>them.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2375.20 3.44 And<space>kids<space>will<space>be<space>identified<space>sometimes<space>in<space>the<space>middle<space>of<space>the<space>school<space>year.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2378.88 6.96 We<space>didn't<space>know<space>Johny<space>was<space>gonna<space>need<space>a<space>one-on-one<space>aid,<space>but<space>now<space>he<space>does.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2385.84 1.28 Does<space>that<space>answer<space>your<space>question,<space>or<space>not<space>really?
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2387.12 2.40 What<space>I'm<space>really<space>trying<space>to<space>figure<space>out<space>is<space>where<space>do<space>we<space>figure<space>out<space>how<space>much<space>.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2389.52 0.96 Are<space>the<space>cost<space>of<space>individually<space>going<space>up<space>after<space>.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2390.48 55.20 You<space>can<space>choose<space>the<space>number<space>of<space>ways<space>to<space>provide<space>.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2445.68 0.16 Yeah.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2445.84 0.48 That's<space>fine.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2446.32 0.56 It<space>could<space>be<space>going<space>up<space>.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2446.88 2.88 I'm<space>sorry,<space>I'll<space>address<space>the<space>question.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2450.24 6.16 This<space>special<space>education<space>budget<space>is<space>prepared<space>by<space>the<space>Special<space>Education<space>Director.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2456.40 4.56 She's<space>an<space>employee<space>of<space>the<space>Supervisory<space>Union.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2461.52 7.44 Each<space>student<space>need<space>is<space>evaluated<space>and<space>then<space>determine<space>what<space>services<space>are<space>appropriate<space>for<space>that<space>student.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2469.68 6.24 Once<space>all<space>this<space>information<space>is<space>gathered,<space>it<space>is<space>sent<space>to<space>the<space>state<space>and<space>they'll<space>review<space>for<space>appropriateness.

Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2482.56 10.08 So<space>that's<space>really<space>where<space>we<space>have<space>a<space>first<space>step<space>of<space>checking<space>to<space>make<space>sure<space>that<space>the<space>budget<space>is<space>appropriate<space>and<space>then<space>the<space>money<space>is<space>being<space>spent<space>properly.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2493.12 5.68 If<space>things<space>happen<space>during<space>the<space>course<space>of<space>the<space>year,<space>then<space>we'll<space>have<space>to<space>spend<space>more<space>than<space>we<space>budgeted.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2499.36 8.64 We<space>end<space>up<space>doing<space>the<space>first<space>cut<space>of<space>this<space>draft<space>budget<space>almost<space>a<space>year<space>ahead<space>of<space>time.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2508.00 4.24 It's<space>really<space>hard<space>to<space>predict<space>what's<space>gonna<space>happen<space>to<space>put<space>into<space>the<space>budget.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2512.56 1.28 We<space>have<space>to<space>spend<space>the<space>money.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2514.08 1.68 It's<space>by<space>statute.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2515.76 4.00 We<space>have<space>to<space>provide<space>the<space>services<space>for<space>the<space>special<space>education<space>students.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2519.92 9.28 And<space>we<space>track<space>the<space>expenditures<space>during<space>the<space>course<space>of<space>the<space>year,<space>if<space>there's<space>any<space>adjustments<space>that<space>can<space>be<space>made,<space>that<space>takes<space>place.

Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2974.00 7.60 And<space>we<space>are,<space>as<space>a<space>board,<space>philosophically<space>very,<space>very<space>much<space>in<space>supportive<space>pre-k.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2981.60 10.40 We<space>did<space>not<space>feel<space>this<space>year<space>that<space>it<space>was<space>something<space>that<space>was<space>physically<space>sort<space>of<space>doable<space>in<space>the<space>current<space>budget<space>climate,<space>or<space>in<space>the<space>context<space>of<space>the<space>budget<space>that<space>we're<space>working<space>with.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 2992.08 5.04 But<space>it<space>is<space>something<space>that<space>on<space>the<space>state<space>level<space>is<space>being<space>talked<space>about<space>a<space>great<space>deal.

Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 3078.32 7.92 I<space>don't<space>have<space>the<space>actual<space>breakdown<space>between<space>the<space>two,<space>but<space>there<space>are<space>healthcare<space>coverage<space>changes<space>within<space>that<space>figure.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 3086.32 20.00 And<space>there<space>is<space>a<space>14%<space>premium<space>increase<space>included<space>in<space>the<space>budget,<space>but<space>I<space>don't<space>have<space>this<space>with<space>.

Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 3463.60 1.84 Well,<space>I<space>mean,<space>it<space>is.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 3465.60 4.72 I<space>mean,<space>it<space>is<space>in<space>a<space>way,<space>although<space>some<space>of<space>that<space>comes<space>from...
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 3470.32 6.72 I<space>mean,<space>some<space>of<space>that<space>is<space>not<space>in<space>our<space>control,<space>comes<space>from<space>state<space>the<space>Vermont...
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 3477.60 1.20 What<space>is<space>it?
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 3478.80 2.96 The<space>school<space>board<space>insurance<space>trust.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 3483.28 9.12 So<space>some<space>of<space>our<space>costs<space>in<space>terms<space>of<space>the<space>health<space>care,<space>that's<space>not<space>something<space>that<space>we<space>can<space>vote<space>on.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 3492.80 1.52 But<space>they're<space>not<space>capped<space>though.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 3495.36 1.44 There's<space>no<space>cap<space>on<space>those<space>expenses.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 3496.88 1.52 Those<space>could<space>go<space>up<space>to<space>20%.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 3498.40 4.00 And<space>the<space>school<space>board<space>would<space>not...
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 3502.48 4.08 That's<space>not<space>something<space>that<space>the<space>school<space>board<space>limit.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 3507.04 2.96 I<space>mean,<space>when<space>they<space>negotiate<space>with<space>this...
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 3510.00 6.88 When<space>those<space>rates<space>go<space>up,<space>are<space>they<space>capped<space>in<space>any<space>way?
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 3517.60 5.92 Are<space>those<space>expenses<space>capped<space>in<space>any<space>way<space>or<space>is<space>it<space>just<space>something<space>that<space>you<space>have<space>to<space>pay?
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 3525.12 4.56 I<space>don't<space>really<space>know<space>the<space>answer<space>to<space>that<space>question.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 3531.84 5.20 Can<space>we<space>get<space>you<space>a<space>mic,<space>please?
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 3537.60 3.36 Try<space>and<space>see<space>if<space>that<space>works.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 3541.60 2.24 Is<space>it<space>on?
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 3544.24 3.60 Yep.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 3550.24 4.00 Rate<space>of<space>increase<space>on<space>the<space>healthcare<space>premium<space>is<space>14%.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 3554.40 4.56 And<space>that's<space>pretty<space>much<space>a<space>number<space>that<space>we<space>receive<space>from<space>our<space>healthcare<space>carrier.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 3559.20 9.12 I<space>guess<space>what<space>can<space>limit<space>the<space>amount<space>of<space>the<space>increase<space>is<space>how<space>much<space>the<space>employee<space>can<space>contribute<space>towards<space>that<space>healthcare<space>cost.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 3568.32 4.32 And<space>that<space>does<space>get<space>negotiated<space>within<space>the<space>contract.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 3572.80 7.84 So<space>that<space>would<space>probably<space>be<space>the<space>only<space>thing<space>that<space>would<space>limit<space>how<space>much<space>the<space>increase<space>could<space>go<space>up.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 3581.28 1.84 I<space>guess<space>that's<space>about<space>it.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 3583.52 5.52 That<space>would<space>be<space>the<space>only<space>item<space>that<space>I'm<space>aware<space>of.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 3593.60 1.84 I<space>wish<space>we<space>had<space>more<space>control<space>over<space>it.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 3595.52 8.48 But<space>unfortunately,<space>the<space>cost<space>just<space>seemed<space>to<space>keep<space>going<space>up.
Jericho_Town_Meeting_2013_-_School_District_Meeting 1 3604.88 8.56 So<space>this<space>is<space>your<space>chance<space>to<space>ask<space>anything<space>about<space>the<space>budget<space>and<space>we<space>are<space>near<space>the<space>end<space>of<space>the<space>discussion,<space>I<space>believe.
