To develop students who are competent and creative thinkers, curious and confident learners, and compassionate citizens.
The following recommendations outline the Superintendent’s Budget Message for Fiscal Year 2022 (FY22).
Annually, the School Committee charges the Superintendent to create the recommended financial plan for the
upcoming school year. This year’s Budget Message is being presented on December 17, 2020. I am pleased to
present a well thought out plan that is the result of coordination and collaboration across the schools and
throughout the district.
In accordance with the School Committee’s budget guidelines, the Superintendent’s Budget Message is based on
the Canton Public Schools Strategic Framework. The Strategic Framework is a document that outlines our
aspirations and ambitions for Canton’s students and staff of the public schools. It is an expression of our
collective areas of focus that define the student experience we believe is both essential for and the right of every
child to prepare them for future success in our ever-changing world.
The Strategic Plan’s four Long-term Strategic Objectives:
1. Achieving Educational Excellence & Ensuring Equity;
2. Cultivating School Climate & Culture;
3. Transforming Teaching & Learning; and,
4. Achieving District Excellence.
Each of the four sections provides a description of the FY22 needs related to the Strategic Framework’s
Long-Term Objectives.
1. ACHIEVING EDUCATIONAL EXCELLENCE & ENSURING EQUITY $342,539
To attain educational excellence across all schools, in every classroom, every day, in support of
consistently high growth and outcomes for every student
GMS Special Education Teacher (1.0 FTE) $75,032
GMS therapeutic program: Special Education teacher and School Adjustment Counselor (GMS): Dedicated to
supporting the implementation of a therapeutic program. Program staffing is one special educator and one school
adjustment counselor. The students require support in the area of social and emotional skill development. Students
will work on individual academic and social and emotional IEP goals. Academics will be based on the middle
school curriculum. The use of the natural setting in the middle school and activities to reinforce social and
emotional skills of the students is implemented primarily in the general education setting. The program will be for
students in grades 6-8 who receive special education services related to an emotional disability (group and
individual counseling IEP goals). This program will allow us to return students from Out of District Placements.
Based on current tuition and transportation costs, the savings would be a total of $236,000.
GMS Adjustment Counselor (1.0 FTE) $75,032
By supporting a therapeutic program at GMS, we are providing a continuum of services from general education to
special education. Currently, we offer Home Base that supports all students experiencing social/emotional
stressors and transitions back to school after extended periods of absence. This proposed GMS therapeuticSource page 4
program would focus on students with IEPs whose primary eligibility is an emotional impairment. Within our
Strategic Framework, the focus area would be within Achieving Educational Excellence and Ensuring Equity.
Our students deserve to be educated within their home schools with their peers and have full access to high-
quality teaching and strong systems of support.
District Data Specialist (1.0 FTE) $85,000
We again are requesting the hiring of a full-time District Data Specialist. In order to support our continuous
improvement as a District, operationally and academically, data is a critical component to serve all stakeholders in
making decisions. During the school year 2020-2021, we have a stipended position that has produced some
critically important data that has supported the decision-making during this difficult year. We believe that the
enhancement to a full-time position will foster a significant positive change and support in how we collect,
analyze and present the information most critical to our District.
PK-5 Humanities Coordinator (1.0 FTE) $102,000
In order to support PreK-5 educators with Transforming Teaching and Learning, we would like to provide them
with a similar level of support that our GMS and CHS educators have through their Department Chairs. The
PreK-5 Humanities Coordinator would oversee professional development, curriculum and instruction, and
assessment in literacy and social studies. The PreK-5 Humanities Coordinator would work with educators to
ensure that our units of study and instruction are aligned with the standards, monitor student progress on district
assessments, and ensure that professional development for PreK-5 educators supports their needs.
GMS 7th and 8th Grade Novels $5,475
The goal of the GMS ELA Department for the last year and a half has been to adjust the curriculum to address
bias and increase diversity in authors, characters, and points of view. Last year, we were able to add some titles to
meet this goal but we need to do more. This budget item will allow us to introduce a new novel to both our 7th
and 8th grade students, bringing us closer to meeting our goal. In addition, in bringing new novels to the
curriculum, we continue to design learning experiences that are innovative and offer opportunities for students to
have a voice and ownership of their own learning.
2. CULTIVATING SCHOOL CULTURE & CLIMATE $150,064
To create and sustain a school climate and culture that support a rich educational environment for all
students and staff
GMS Health Teacher (1.0 FTE) $75,032
The importance of Wellness Education has been prioritized in our society, but isn’t necessarily reflected in our
programming. At GMS, Health classes meet 2 days out of a 6 day cycle for one semester only. All other specials
meet 2 days per cycle for an entire school year which is significantly less class time than core academic subjects.
This lack of time and attention prevents students from receiving a full comprehensive deep dive into health-
related topics. The 2019 YRBS data strongly supports the decision to move forward with expanded Health class
programming. The mental health section specifically around suicidal thoughts, planned suicide, and attempted
suicide are concerning. If we were granted this position, we would redesign our entire 6th grade health curriculum
around Positive Psychology and Bullying Prevention, which would help the overall school climate and culture
amongst students. Our 7th grade curriculum would be focused on violence prevention and stress management.
Our 8th grade curriculum would highlight the decision-making process. All of these topics will be a deep dive
into the SHAPE America National Standards for Health education. Physical and mental health curriculum will be
incorporated into each grade.
We would need this 1.0 FTE position to successfully implement this full-year Health programming.
Elementary School Adjustment Counselor (1.0 FTE) $75,032
At the elementary level, there is a clear need for counseling and support so students can best access their
education. In this proposal, the School Adjustment Counselor at the elementary level would travel between the
three elementary schools and meet with students to build social/emotional support for the students. The
counseling curriculum and future SEL curriculum would be best supported by this role.

3. TRANSFORMING TEACHING & LEARNING $102,096
To create rigorous, relevant, and contemporary learning experiences so that the PreK-12 journey
supports student development and prepares students for their futures
GMS Lunch Aides (2.0 FTE) $39,796
Crucial to building an adult professional learning community is providing time for teachers to meet in teams, in
departments, and in work-related groups. We were able to increase adult collaboration time at GMS this year;
however, specialists were not able to be scheduled for the same amount of professional learning as other teachers
because of a need to assign them to lunch duty. Hiring lunch aides will allow all teachers access to quality
professional learning and collaboration time. This will allow specialists to engage in conversations to create
interdisciplinary units and talk about best practices in teaching and learning, both of which will lead to high
quality instruction for students across the board.
Adobe Creative Arts Visual Suite Annual Subscription $2,500
Continuing to provide student access to post-secondary/university and industry standard digital media tools for
art-making is essential for relevant student learning in the CHS Visual Arts. Access to the Adobe Creative Suite
will allow us to continue (and expand) opportunities for students to creatively use technology in engaging and
authentic ways as they learn how artists, designers, and industry professionals engage in creative tasks. Funding
this subscription-based software package will continue to support our capacity to engage students’ digital literacy
skills and prepare them for post-secondary learning connected to the visual arts, digital media arts, and related
STEAM fields.
This operating request is needed to update the CHS Visual Art computer labs. The purchase of the Adobe Creative
Suite will allow teachers continued access to the Adobe programs that we currently have as well as expand their
access to additional programs that are part of the Adobe Creative Suite. This purchase will support their ability to
keep their curriculum current with industry standards and support student preparation for post-
secondary/university programs. This software package will be used by staff in the Visual Art department, and
additionally could be used for interdisciplinary purposes such as STEAM curriculum connected to the innovation
lab.
GMS & CHS Visual Art Supplies $1,600
Without any regular increases in our materials/supply budget, it is becoming increasingly difficult to provide the
quantity and quality of materials needed to support high-level student learning and growth in our studio art
classes. Our 3D studio art materials are especially costly and are difficult to substitute. It is necessary for us to
provide students with appropriate materials and tools in order to support student learning and achievement in our
studio areas.
Teachers’ abilities to provide the materials needed for high-level learning in the Visual Arts are constrained by
our current budget. Out of necessity, teachers have become increasingly dependent on using
free/recycled/donated materials to drive the content of their curriculum instead of planning for materials based on
their curriculum needs. A $1,000 increase at CHS and a $600 increase at GMS will allow teachers to better
prioritize the purchase of materials based on their curriculum needs.
Renaissance STAR Benchmark Assessment $34,000
Assessment is a critical component of our practice as we work to transform teaching and learning. In order for
teachers to design instruction that meets student needs, they need data on student performance. This year, after a
summer working group process, we identified the STAR assessment as the desired assessment platform at the
elementary level. This platform allows us to assess students online with a high quality assessment tool in early
literacy, reading and math. This request will allow us to continue using the assessment so that we can continually
monitor student progress across grades as the students progress through elementary school.
3Source page 6
GMS STEAM Curriculum Material $20,000
As we move toward more project-based learning at the Galvin and incorporate a STEAM approach into our
technology and engineering curriculum, we need to reimagine the curriculum. Given the hands-on nature of this
course and the materials necessary to complete the real-world projects, we need to provide students with
appropriate supplies. A budget of $20,000 would allow us to buy the materials across three grade levels to support
an innovative and rigorous STEAM curriculum.
Renaissance STAR Professional Development $4,200
Assessment is a critical component of our practice as we work to transform teaching and learning. In order for
teachers to design instruction that meets student needs, they need data on student performance. This year, after a
summer working group process, we identified the STAR assessment as the desired assessment platform at the
elementary level. This platform allows us to assess students online with a high quality assessment tool in early
literacy, reading and math. This request will allow us to continue using the assessment so that we can continually
monitor student progress across grades as the students progress through elementary school.
4. ACHIEVING DISTRICT EXCELLENCE $1,688,845
To develop state-of-the-art operational systems that assure access to high-quality resources, including
facilities, aligned to our educational vision, equitably distributed, and utilized efficiently
Contractual Obligations $1,530,104
Our FY22 fiscal plan includes necessary funding for staff contractual obligations. Within the Canton Public
Schools, there are five unions, including Unit A (e.g., teachers) and Unit E (e.g., Education Assistants), and
three AFSCME Unions - Food Service, Administrative Assistants and Custodians. All forms of financial
compensation are negotiated with the School Committee and the Unions and outlined in each contract.
Bus Contractual Increase $50,000
Additional funds are required to meet the contractual obligations of our student transportation agreement.
Advanced Security Software $25,000
This additional request is helping to support the foundational work of our entire district. It will better support and
protect the District's infrastructure. By supplementing additional security software, we are creating an
environment that best supports the operations, protects the integrity of our systems and data and protects that
necessary backbone to teaching and learning within our district.
Securly License $12,741
We added Securly this year to provide an enhanced layer of web monitoring and filtering to best support the
safety and security of our students. The monitoring software has been effective in both securing our devices and
learning environment, but the alert systems in place have identified and supported students in need. The original
invoice was to cover the GMS, the additional licenses will cover all devices that entered the district during 20/21
(Securly has covered all students for this year without the additional expense).
Network Monitoring $40,000
This request allows Core Switch Patching/Monitoring, Virtual and Host Patching/Monitoring, Controller &
Access Point Monitoring and Firewall (2) Patch/Monitoring It also is instrumental in detecting abnormalities in
latency/packet loss and abnormalities in network traffic, down connections, and allows for 24x7 reconnaissance to
resolve identified problematic issues.
Annual Licensing for Fiber Internet $31,000
This request is to upgrade the fiber optic internet connection from 2 GB to 10 GB. This will allow a more secure
and reliable network.

CONCLUSION
Members of the Canton community continue to be proud of their public schools and understand the
relationship between a great town and great schools -- especially through the COVID 19 pandemic. The
recommendations outlined in the FY22 Superintendent’s Budget Message are aligned to the aforementioned
Long-Term Strategic Objectives of the Strategic Framework.
We are experiencing dramatic changes in our world that are driving the needs of our public schools as
articulated within the Strategic Framework. We focus on the appropriate demand for excellence for every
child in our diverse society. We understand the power of culture and climate in our schools to enhance
every child’s authentic sense of belonging and their needs for safety and security. We are changing the
historical nature of public school teaching and learning in order to prepare students for their unpredictable
futures. And finally, we are striving to maintain and enhance our mission-driven school district that is
committed to creating the conditions to achieve the previously stated outcomes. It is with the continued
commitment and leadership of the School Committee and support of the Town that the Canton Public
Schools will continue its success and be worthy of such pride.

The guidelines will not necessarily be met in each and every classroom but should be met on average across the district.
