Over the last six years, the Green Bay Area Public School District has made $42.5 milion in revenue enhancements and expenditure reductions. Due to a $534/per student decrease this year, the district had to manage a $20 million deficit. Increaseed staff contributions into retirement and health benefits helped cover $12 million of the shortfall. Additional reductions in restructuring, revenue enhancements, and other means helped cover the remaining $8 million, resulting in a balanced budget.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Editor's Notes
Before we get started, I would like to thank the Budget and Finance Committee (LL, FR, & FJM) for their help and time during this long process and also thank my fellow administrators with their help in compiling the budget for the 10/11 school year.
Now we are going to take a look at what makes up our presentation.
Bob
This is the fifth year that the district has been aggressive in its purchasing of new textbook series. The areas expected to be addressed are in Reading, and Science. Including this year, the district has budgeted over $267,800 toward textbooks the last five years. The district has a 2.2 to 1 student to computer ratio. The state average is 3.3 to1.
The key figure on this page is the General Fund number. This is what your tax levy is generated towards and what the public will be voting on. This will be displayed more clearly in the next slide. The Special Revenue is budgeted at 85% of the current years appropriation.
The tax levy is 4% or $375,777 increase over last years levy. In an effort to stabilize property taxes, two years ago the State set the tax levy growth at 4%. But, the expected tax levy represents 85.1% of the revenue. Last year, the tax levy was 85.3% of the revenue. There was a $552,562 decrease in state aid as you will see in later slides and we will discuss in greater detail. Last year, it was almost 14% of our budget and in turn it has forced us to seek revenue sources from other places. The budgeted fund balance are amounts projected to be left over from last years (09/10) budget in excess of our legal reserve amount of 2%. The required amount for this current year, 09/10 was $0. Because of the fund balance usage over the last few years, we have exhausted our available fund balance and will now need to replenish it and maintain it over the coming years. Other revenues are: Estimated interest on bank accounts, expected tuition on special needs students, and Medicaid reimbursement.
Our general fund budget has increased over last year by 4.2% or $462,102. The avg. growth of the general fund since 06/07 has been at 2.43%. Our tax levy was allowed to increase by a maximum of 4% due to the Tax Levy Cap Law (A-1) that was used for the first time two years ago. Again this year, we used the maximum increase of 4.0%. The avg. for the time period listed is 3.92%. Despite the gravity of fiscal problems facing the State, Governor Corzine’s education budget using the School Funding Reform Act of 2008 provided level funding in State Aid. Governor Christie has discussed the fiscal crisis that the State is in and as a result, we are seeing that our aid has been cut severely. We have already discussed fund balance. We built our surplus back up during the 08/09 school year and in turn they have taken it away. Our expected amount is due to the fact that we anticipate realizing this amount as of 6/30 and it is the minimum amount that we have to appropriate. The budgeted amounts of “Other Revenue” sources have grown slightly four of the last five years as we have had to find ways to make money. This number has increased by $109,133 over last year due to anticipated special education students that we will be receiving..
Instructional costs while are up $580,672 over last year. Costs in this area include: Regular educational programs Sp. Ed., Basic Skills, and Summer School Regular Ed. And Sp. Ed. Tuition Employee Benefits (up $19,522)-The district switched its medical benefits from NJSHBP to Horizon BC/BS in 2006 and budgeted for a 0% increase this year in medical due to the fact that we negotiated a 18 month agreement with Amerihealth, last year we renegotiated our Dental package for three year’s at a 5% increase the first year of the agreement and 0% increase in years two and three, and Rx is budgeted for a 15% increase because our benefits broker negotiated this increase based off of our experience modifier the last year. The district is also hit with an additional responsibility of fully funding its PERS obligation for the first time in 08/09 at 100%. The amount we just paid was $123,814 and the budgeted figure for next year is $130,099. Obviously, this continues to be a major hit to our budget. Support cost (down $87,537) are: Extra curricular activities Improvement of Instructional Services Ed. Media and Technology Health and Attendance Speech, Guidance, & CST Maintenance/Operations is decreased by $78,323 over last year. Even though we are seeing increased utilities, we are still meeting our obligations towards the maintenance of two buildings. Administrative/Business are your costs associated with the Superintendent, Principal’s, and Business Office. They are down by $27,795 over last year. With administrative costs having limits it is imperative to monitor what is spent administratively. The regional administrative limit is $1,740. We currently are at $1,707 and scheduled to decrease next year to $1,529. Transportation has increased by $93,771 over last year due to the transporting special needs students to private institutions. In turn, Capital Outlay has increased by $20,761 over last year. The only thing budgeted here is the interest on our capital reserve account and a state assessment. Food service obligation is down slightly by $55,969. In the coming year this will have to be monitored more closely and a plan will have to be developed to decrease this figure.
Over the last several years, districts were given a 0% increase in state funding which put more of a strain on all taxpayers. The state aid categories that have been around over the last several years were replaced last year and new aid categories have replaced them. Adjustment aid will be provide for at least the next year. As stated last year, decreases will only be seen for districts that have declining enrollment. Cat. Sp. Ed. Aid is based off of our number of students who are tiered and receive related services. This is based on a cost of $11,262 times the number of students identified as special education students. Transportation aid is based off of the following: # of students eligible for regular transportation Avg. distance from home to school. # of special ed. Students receiving transportation. Avg. distance from home to school. Cat. Security Aid is based off of what the state believes that a cost per student that is generated for security. That figure is based off of our projected FTE resident enrollment times $72 and then the share for low income students is added on top of that figure.
As you will see in the next eight slides, this district’s tax increases/decreases are mainly driven by ratables. Tax levies are the main funding source and in turn ratables have a strong effect. Since 2000, your total tax rate has gone up $1.17 but during that same time, your school tax rate has only gone up .496 cents.
Two years we had the second lowest school tax rate in the county and it changed due to several townships going through the reassessment process. Four of the districts that are ahead of us have gone through recent property reassessments.
This is comparison is made for the whole county and the districts that are color coded are surrounding districts. Just to emphasize that some are K-6, K-8, and K12 so all situations are different. The County avg. for school tax rate is $2.29 which we are well below by about $.83. The County avg. for % for schools is 53.26% which we are again well below.
The owner of a property assessed at the township average of $101,802 will see approximately a $92.33 increase in their taxes.
While the average tax levy increase is respectable over the last 11 years, you have seen that BOE’s contribution has been greater than the avg. increase.
