On Elmwood Avenue, they are switching parking to alternate and adding a crosswalk near Cedar St. On Intervale Ave, they are adding speed tables and a green belt. They are finalizing the design in January-February, on March 18th they have a commission meeting on March 18th, and construction is expected to begin in the summer. - Ward 2 resident, mentions that they like most of the design, but are concerned about the proposed speed tables on Intervale. In particular, he doesn’t want a speed table in front of his house. Parsa answers that other traffic calming measures likely wouldn’t work on Intervale Ave - Ward 2 resident, wants to know about the parking near Dewey Park and if this plan will result in any parking loss near Dewey Park. Parsa mentions that the Elmwood Avenue project will not result in any parking loss near Dewey Park, and will in fact add a parking spot. All the parking loss will be on the bottom of the street nearer to Pearl St. The same Ward 2 resident asks about “resident Ward 2 NPA - January 8, 2026 - Notes - Page 1 only” parking, wanting to know why some streets in Burlington have that while other streets do not. Parsa and his colleague both answer, mentioning that “resident only” parking usually does not solve problems in neighborhoods like the ONE, since the bulk of the people parking are also the people who live there. But Parsa’s colleague does concede that there are a few streets that have “resident only” parking that do not need it. - Austin, Ward 2 resident, mentions that he is excited for the speed tables since he lives on Intervale Ave and sees folks speeding on that street. He wants to know if the speed tables will be painted. Parsa mentions that they should be. - Andrew, Ward 2 resident, also mentions that he lives on Intervale Ave and is excited for the speed tables, and mentions that he regularly sees people speeding on Intervale Ave. - Ward 2 resident also mentions that she is very supportive of the speed tables due to the excessive speeding that she sees in the neighborhood. She also mentions that she would be supportive of doing something about parking near Dewey Park and IAA, since it is often difficult to find parking in that area. - Ward 2 resident also voices support for the speed tables, mentions that she lives on Spring St and often hears and sees people racing on those streets. - Charlie, Ward 2 resident, mentions that the speed bumps on Archibald got replaced with speed tables because of comments made at an NPA Meeting. So come to your NPA Meeting! - Ward 2 resident who lives on Intervale Ave, also wants to voice his strong support for the speed tables, and mentions that hearing that they are adding speed tables is one of his favorite things about 2026 so far. - Ward 2 resident, wants to know how the Parking Chicanes being added on Elmwood Avenue will not result in any loss of parking. Parsa explains that all parking spots lost will be replaced with parking on other parts of the street. 7:05 pm Burlington School District 60 min Jeannie Waltz, Polly Vanderputten, Tom Flanagan - The school commission chair mentions that, due to the rise in the cost of health insurance primarily, the school budget is projected to increase by 5-6%. Polly Vanderputten adds that health insurance costs are not something school commissioners have any control over and those are settled at the state level. The school commission chair mentions that there is a 3.2% projected reduction in enrollment, which is not due to kids moving to private school enrollment, but is more attributable to the mass drawdown of refugee resettlement in Burlington and affordability issues. She further mentions that they are saving where they can, including through things like reductions, rent savings, and bonds. The school commission chair details the different scenarios for tax increases and savings, including the projection that they will be reducing staff by at least 4 full-time employees. - Jeannie Waltz mentions some of the good news, including the near completion of the new Burlington High School and the completion of the renovation on the Integrated Arts Academy. There is some discussion between Jeannie Waltz and the commission chair about the benefits of the geothermal HVAC system, and all the beauty of the brand new high school. Another highlight is the new Burlington Tech Center addition at the Burlington airport, which is a great way to engage students in technical learning. Ward 2 NPA - January 8, 2026 - Notes - Page 2 - Polly Vanderputten, returns to the slide with the different cost and tax scenarios, and explains that the acronym FTE means “full-time equivalent”, and the acronym RIF returns to “reduction in force.” - Steven, Ward 2 resident, mentions that he is proud that Burlington almost always passes school budgets. He then goes on to say that Act 127, which distributed funds based on need, should be maintained in Act 73, at least according to Governor Scott, and if that is not maintained, alarm bells should go off. Jeannie Waltz mentions that it is very upsetting that much of the work done on Act 127 has been disregarded after the passage of Act 73, and she mentions that people should stay on high alert because it is not guaranteed that the more equitable funding mechanism will transfer after the implementation of Act 73. - Ward 2 resident, Bill Church, mentions that he is very concerned due to the funding cuts coming down from the federal government, and he wants to know how the school commissioners see the fight for public education as an act of resistance against federal authoritarianism. Polly mentions that a focus on poor students and ensuring that public education acts as a tool of empowerment for them is essential to the way she views her role. Jeannie mentions the power of the restorative practices they integrate in the Burlington School District and how empowering learning those skills should be for children and adults, creating civically engaged and kind people. - Ward 2 resident mentions that it is a particularly challenging year for property taxes, and wants the school commission to keep that in mind. Polly mentions that she appreciates the comment, and she mentions that one of the most essential jobs of the school commission is to balance all of these financial stresses for the taxpayers of Burlington, especially as so much federal funding has been lost. - Melo Grant, Ward 2 city councilor, has a suggestion for the school district regarding the health insurance reimbursement provider for the district, suggesting that it's possible that the district could save money by switching providers and doing a price comparison with other providers. Melo then mentions that serving on the school commission is an inherently political position, with decisions on equity and budget issues are political. Polly, Jeannie, and the commission chair mention that the role of education must be open to all different perspectives and free of political bias in order to properly educate and ensure all students feel welcome and open to learning and accepting new ideas. - Charlie mentions that Jonathan, who was mentioned as now the chief financial officer of the Burlington School District, used to serve on the Ward 2 NPA Steering Committee. Charlie then encourages all the school commissioners to mention something that they love about the Burlington School District. Polly mentions that there are so many things that they love about Burlington School District, and Jeannie mentions the success of the Eagle Bay alternative program with someone she knows. The school board chair mentions all the excitement over the new high school and all the social programs the district provides in addition to the schools, and the gratitude from the students is also something she highlights. 8:05 pm Updates from City Councilors 20 min Melo Grant, Central District City Councilor Gene Bergman, Ward 2 City Councilor - Gene Bergman mentions that there will be a lot of budget proposals before the city council over the next six months due to the upcoming large budget gap. Gene mentions that there is a proposed small tax increase proposed to fund the police and fire department, which should reduce Ward 2 NPA - January 8, 2026 - Notes - Page 3 the budget gap by about $2M, but $10M remain. Gene mentions a few other proposed changes, including a tax fairness proposal that would have to be passed as a charter change and move through the state legislature as well. - Melo mentions that if a property tax fairness proposal went through and the landlords increased rent, it would disproportionately affect Wards 2 and 3 since those are the wards with the highest proportion of renters. Melo also encourages everybody to regularly email our state legislators in order to stay engaged and make sure our state legislators know that we are engaged. Melo then talks about the apartheid free community pledge and encourages people to go watch Ben Traverse at the Ward 5 NPA Meeting talk about why he would deny it from being on the ballot. Melo then talks about how this issue relates to the fight for democracy in general and it is very important that people stand up for international law. 8:25 pm Door prize drawing + Adjourn!

Major Drivers ● Wages: 5% increase based on pattern of settled bargaining agreements. ● Beneﬁts: 8% increase in health insurance premiums. ● Debt Service: 6.6% the last major increase associated with BHS/BTC. ● Federal funding: $2m of program costs in excess of federal revenue. ● Rent: $2m of savings associated with the end of the DtBHS lease. Page 17 of 33 BSD Enrollment History Page 18 of 33 Draft Board Guidance ● Realign staﬃng to reﬂect lower projected enrollment and ensure Act 73 class size minimums are met. ● Limit budget growth due to the impact of BHS/BTC debt service. ● Identify funding needed to support speciﬁc strategic plan activities. ● Continue to oﬀer academically rigorous programming for all learners that leads to improved student outcomes. ● Present the Board with at least three budget scenarios reﬂecting diﬀerent tax impacts due to uncertainty in federal and state funding. Page 19 of 33 3.2% Decline in Enrollment from Last Year ● Declining school-aged population in Burlington (as well as the county and state). ○ Housing appears to be the most signiﬁcant obstacle. ● Substantial decrease in the number of refugees being resettled in Burlington (and across the country). ● Neither private school enrollment nor school choice are having a meaningful impact on enrollment. Page 20 of 33 Areas of Potential Reductions ● Enrollment driven adjustments based on Equitable Budgeting Model ○ 4.5 FTE teachers ● Superintendent is recommending reductions to projected Central Oﬃce budgets (third consecutive year) ● Superintendent established a work group to brainstorm additional reduction ideas to consider, based on tax landscape and board guidance. Page 21 of 33 RISE Allocation Nearly $1.6m of School-directed, Equity-oriented Investments ● RISE allocations decrease by about $50,000 district based on reduced enrollment. ● Improve enrollment data also contributed to the reduction. Page 22 of 33 FY25 Audit and Fund Balance FY25 Audit is in ﬁnal phase of review FY25 Audited Fund Balance ● Approximately $2,400,000 available to support FY25 budget. ○ This surplus is in line with prior year results. ● Represents roughly 2% of the total budget. Fund Balance is One Time Revenue ● Careful budget management should result in annual surpluses. ● Currently supports signiﬁcant costs associated with rent for temporary spaces (DtBHS, BTC, etc.). Page 23 of 33 Level Services Budget Summary 5.6% tax rate increase (current level-service) includes: ● 5% state buydown of tax rates (without which, the tax impact would be 10.6%) ● $500k 4.5 FTE’s and $50k District Oﬃce reductions ● $1m DTBHS Rent Savings ● $450K savings from reduced bond borrowing Page 24 of 33 Scenario Overviews Area Scenario 1 Scenario 2 Scenario 3 5.6% tax increase 4.6% tax increase 0% tax increase with buydown with buydown with buydown Additional Savings Target Level-service $1.25 million $5.5 million Direct Instruction - 4.5 FTE 6.5 FTE 12 FTE Teachers School Support Staff - 0 FTE 0.0 FTE 9.5 FTE Other Educators on Teacher and Para Contracts District Services/Admin 0 FTE 3.5 FTE 4.0 FTE Other reductions $1.5m $1.75m Close a school Page 25 of 33 Next Steps ● The Superintendent will present a recommendation to the full school board on January 14.

Page 28 of 33 Equitable Budgeting A Brief History ● Research-based model created with input from the community. ● Overwhelming support for allocating resources to the students who need them most. ● Provides a foundational level of support plus RISE funds for investments unique to each school community. ● Recognize that our staﬃng level must be responsive to enrollment changes. Page 29 of 33 Community Survey: Who did we hear from? We heard from... ● 450+ students, family members, staﬀ, and community members ● Individuals aﬃliated with every BSD school and program ● 43.2% of respondents’ students receive free or reduced lunch ● 21.7% of respondents’ students receive special education services ● 20.9% of our respondents self identiﬁed as BIPOC ● 14.4% of respondents speak a language other than English in their home Page 30 of 33 2020 Community Survey: What did we say? 72% of all respondents and 79% of BSD staﬀ strongly agree or agree that resources should be allocated in a way that supports the students who need them most - even if it means reducing the resources at their school(s). Community Staff Agreement Agreement Page 31 of 33 Our proposed model has three components ● A staﬃng model will provide each school RISE Allocation with its core staﬃng, using staﬀ:student ratios (e.g. 1 counselor staﬀ for every 200 Non-personnel Funds students) ● Non-personnel funds will be allocated based on a per-student basis Baseline ● An Equity Allocation will provide additional Staﬀing funding using a weighted student Model formula, meaning more funds in schools with greater need ○ Schools will have discretion in how best to serve their students using these funds ○ Intent and desired outcomes will be documented for future evaluation Page 32 of 33 Tax Rates Tax rates are the result of four major inputs ● Education Spending: amount of Education Fund support a district’s budget requires - something a district controls! ● Long Term Weighted Average Daily Membership: enrollment that weighs factors such as poverty and English Learners. ● Dollar Yield: a state variable reﬂecting the amount of money in the education fund. Now adjusted by the statewide CLA. ● Common Level of Appraisal (CLA): a measure of property values in each community, adjusted by the statewide CLA. Page 33 of 33
