Subject: [Town Meeting] Arlington Public School Report to Special Town Meeting

Dear Colleagues,

If you have not already done so, you will be receiving in the mail a copy of the 
Arlington Public Schools report to the November 15, 2010 Special Town Meeting.  
This report is also online at: 
http://www.arlington.k12.ma.us/administration/budget/fy10/shortfall/specialtownmeeting_11-15-10.pdf


You will also find in the materials that are being sent to you a copy of the 
financial operations review of the Masachusetts Association of School Business 
Officials, which was ordered by the School Committee following the discovery of 
the School Department's FY 2010 deficit.  You can find an electronic copy of 
this report at: 
http://www.arlington.k12.ma.us/administration/budget/fy10/shortfall/masbofinancialopreportoctober2010.pdf


The School Committee's Budget Subcommittee is meeting this week with an aim of 
further developing recommendations around implementation of the advice from both 
the MASBO report and the recent report of the Town's auditors, Powers & 
Sullivan.  We plan to update you on the state of this work at Town Meeting.

Lastly, I would like to inform you that the School Committee will be offering a 
substitute motion on Article 3, concerning the rebuild and renovation of the 
Thompson Elementary School.  It is our judgment that we have fulfilled the 
expectations of the Massachusetts School Building Authority in making a good 
faith effort to publicly vet three options around the project.  We also believe 
at this point that a strong reiteration of Town Meeting's support for the 
project will better position us for favorable support from the State than a 
contentious debate concerning a single controversial and obstacle-laden option 
for the project.

For the above reasons, the School Committee voted on Tuesday evening to support 
the attached language.  We are currently consulting with Town Counsel and the 
Town Moderator regarding slight modifications to this substitute motion, 
recasting it as a non-binding resolution which will fall within the scope of 
Article 3.  We will have this available for you on Monday.

Respectfully,

Joe Curro
Chair, Arlington School Committee
Town Meeting Member, Precinct 15
