schools’ grounds for Trumbull Day and is asking the Board to waive its policy, Use of Public School

on school grounds. Mr. lassogna also shared that, according to the request, alcohol sales/consumption 

would be set up similar to the summer concerts at Indian Ledge Park. Considerable discussion 

ensued. Before considering this request, Board members would like assurances on the following: 

alcohol consumption confined to a defined area with specified hours; continual police presence 

monitoring all areas including parking; Hillcrest Middle School building available to police in the 

event of an emergency; no liability for lawsuits. Mr. Ward stated that, as a former member of the 

Commission, Trumbull Day was always considered a family event with amusement rides and 

fireworks and he will not support this request. Mr. lassogna suggested that he forward the Boards’ 

questions/concerns to the Commission and First Selectman for answers and if their response is 

acceptable, the Board could then take action on the request at their next meeting in March or April. It 

was moved (Herbst) seconded (Ward) to table the vote on this agenda item until more specificity is 

made available to the Board regarding this request. Mrs. Herbst requested that someone from the 

Trumbull Day Commission come to the next Board meeting to review their request and respond to 

Board concerns. She also suggested that someone from Trumbull Police Department also be available 

to address concerns. Mr. Jassogna responded that he will contact the First Selectman/Trumbull Day 

Commission by Friday, March 15 asking them to attend the Board’s next meeting to address Board 

concerns. Mr. Kelly stated that he would like assurance that the Board will not be liable for any 

insurance claims/lawsuits as he does not want Board monies designated for education to be used for 

legal fees. Vote: Unanimous in favor. 

G. Approval/Teacher Supervision, Evaluation and Professional Learning Plan “Bridge Year” 

Implementation-Dr. Cialfi shared that the Supervision, Evaluation and Professional Learning Plan 

Committee has been meeting regularly to refine the plan and has shared it with all certified staff He 

reviewed aspects of the new evaluation plan and the district’s current plan. He commented that the 

State’s Perfonnance Evaluation Advisory Council (PEAC) and Education Commissioner Pryor have 

determined that 2013-14 will be a “bridge year” for implementing the new Teacher Evaluation Plan 

with full implementation planned for 2014-15. School districts have been given several options for 

implementation, which include: applying the plan to every certified educator in one-third of district 

schools; applying the plan to classroom teachers in 50% of district schools; or applying the plan as a 

locally determined option if agreed upon by the teachers’ and administrators’ bargaining units and 

supported by the Superintendent, for at least one-third of the certified educators in the district. The 

3

committee is recommending the third option which has the support of the Superintendent. 

Considerable discussion ensued regarding: district’s present evaluation plan; the complexity and 

implementation of the new plan; who will be selected to participate in the bridge year; equality of 

assessment rubrics for all subject areas; how fine arts and similar type classes will be assessed; 

student performance counting for 45% of teacher evaluation; impact on administrative workload; and 

costs associated with implementation of the plan. It was moved (Ward) seconded (Labella) to 

approve, as part of PEAC, the Superintendent’s recommendation of the locally determined option that 

includes at least one-third of all certified educators in TPS (Trumbull Public Schools). Vote: 

Unanimous in favor. Mrs. Labella asked about a plan for administrators and Dr. Cialfi responded that 

the committee is awaiting guidelines but will come forward with a plan. Chainnan Wright 

commented that there is presently a bill in the (Cormecticut) House #159 being discussed which may 

impact the new teacher evaluation plan. 

H. 2013-14 Budget Request Update—Superintendent lassogna reminded the Board that the First 

Selectman reduced the 2013-14 Budget request by $1,862,350 and the 1% Connecticut State Statute 

lO-248a in unspent 2011-12 monies was removed from the Board’s 2012-13 operating budget base 

with all future 2012-13 operating budget reports reflecting the removal of these monies. Mr. lassogna 

reviewed percentage changes and noted that the First Selectman’s recommendation for the 2013-14 

Board budget amounts to $92,962,381 or a 2.74% increase over the previous year’s allocation of 

$90,479,175. He also noted that after much discussion, both the Board and Town agree that the total 

reduction to the 2013-14 Budget request amounts to $1,862,350. He also shared that per the Board’s 

direction, a request for an expedited meeting of their respective groups was forwarded to both Board 

of Finance (BOF) Chair Elaine Hammers and Town Council Chair Carl Massaro to determine the 

status of the supplemental appropriations for security, technology, and athletic field renovations. Mr. 

lassogna shared with the BOF at their meeting last evening that the BOE would refrain from budget 

discussion until they receive a decision regarding the supplemental appropriations. He reported the 

BOF meeting was positive and productive with information shared including: possible TownIBOE 

moving to self-insurance for healthcare; Trumbull High Guidance program needs; and athletic 

fields/tennis court renovations. Mr. lassogna suggested that a Tn-Board (BOE, BOF, and Town 

Council) meeting be held to review/discuss the feasibility of self-funded healthcare after the Board 

receives/reviews BOE Health Benefits Consultant Steve Rinaldi’s report and the Town 

receives/reviews Town Health Benefits Consultant David Mathieu’s report on this initiative. Mr. 

lassogna also stated that Curriculum Director Dr. Paslov and Technology Manager Jeff Hackett met 

with BOF member Vinny DeGennaro to review the district’s technology needs and at the BOF 

meeting, Mr. Gennaro applauded the district’s efforts with technology. Mr. lassogna also shared that 

he received a request from Town Council Chair Massaro to attend a meeting of the Finance 

Committee of the Town Council on March 28, 2013. Discussion ensued. Mrs. Labella requested that 

the Superintendent follow up with the BOF and Town Council to schedule meetings quickly to 

address the Board’s supplemental appropriations so that the District can move forward with its 

security enhancements without further delay. Mr. Kelly echoed Mrs. Labella’s request, stating that 

the Board needs a decision on these items before discussion on next year’s budget, and emphasized 

that implementation of security enhancements should not be delayed. Mr. Kelly also stated he may 

make a motion [at a future meeting] to use available funds to implement the Board’s security 

enhancements if the Town does not take action soon. He also conveyed that when the First Selectman 

asked to be placed on the Board’s agenda, it was done immediately and feels that the same 

consideration should be given for the Board’s request to the BOF and Town Council. Mr. Ward 

shared that it was his understanding that the BOF wanted the BOE to use the 1% ($874,000) unspent 

monies. Mrs. Herbst shared that she understood from the meeting the previous evening, some 

members of the BOF wanted the BOE to use the 1% ($874,000) unspent monies for the security 

enhancements. Mrs. Chory asked whether the anticipated surplus for 2012-13 has been determined 

4

and if the $874,000 is needed and Mr. lassogna responded that Business Manager Sean O’Keefe will 

provide the Board with definitive figures. Mrs. Labella stated that the Board should move ahead with 

security enhancements and asked that Mr. O’Keefe show the $874,000 in a separate chart as it has 

been removed from the Board’s operating budget. Discussion ensued on the use of the $874,000, 

where it is recognized [Board or Town], Town approval of Board carryover per State Statute and the 

Board’s ability to submit expenses against those monies. Mr. O’Keefe responded that he would 

contact Town Finance Director Maria Pires to ascertain procedures for the Board’s use of the 

$874,000. Mr. Kelly again stated his desire to move forward on security initiatives and Mr. lassogna 

conveyed that it was his understanding the Board had direct access to the $874,000.

Regulations 

ilie District’s process shall strive to identify students’ challenges early and provide 

appropriate instructions by ensuring students’ success in the general education environment. 

In implementing the RTI/SRBI process, the District shall apply: 

1. Scientific, research-based interventions in the general education (Tier I) setting; 

2. Monitoring and measurement of student progress in response to the instruction and 

interventions; and 

3. Use of RTI data of student progress to shape instruction and make educational 

decisions. 

The Superintendent or his/her designee shall develop procedures to implement student 

interventions, as well as develop protocols for the use of teacher observations, and classroom, 

school or District assessments to identify students who are at risk of academic or behavioral 

problems and thereby in need of scientific research-based interventions. 

Interventions consist of three levels or tiers of assistance that increase in intensity. The three 

levels shall include: 

1. Tier I — and classroom interventions; (Scientific Research-Based Core 

Curriculums, Instruction, and Social/Behavior Supports) 

2. Tier II — small group interventions (supplemental Scientific Research-Based 

Supplemental Interventions) 

3. Tier III — interventions (supplemental Scientific Research-Based 

Interventions that are more intensive in time, frequency and individualization) 

Procedures 

1. Tier I instruction is high quality instruction all students receive in their general 

education classrooms. It is based upon robust curriculum and scientifically researched 

programs. A combination of district assessments, universal screenings, and/or 

curriculum-based assessments will provide evidence that the student is meeting all 

academic and/or behavioral expectations, based on district-established benchmarks. 

Students who are not meeting all academic and/or behavioral expectations will receive 

scientific, research-based interventions in the general education (Tier I) setting.
