Letter to parents

Dear Brophy Families:

The Legislature released their FY10 conference committee budget late lastweek . The full legislature voted to pass it. The ELT number is the Senatenumber: $15,672,375, which is about a 1.8 million reduction from the currentschool year. The final step will be for the governor to sign this budget andshortly thereafter DESE will be notifying schools. We anticipate sufficientor close to sufficient funding for the 23 remaining schools (three less thanthis year.)
The Brophy Parent Survey showed strong parent support for ELT (see the blogfor specific results.) The staff vote at Brophy had similiar results. Wefully anticipate that Brophy will be going forward with ELT for the 2009/2010 school year. The official school hours will be 8:05 AM to 4:05PM.

We will keep you informed as details develop. Thank you for your support.
