4 Mr. Leyrer thanked the Board and the Superintendent for the opportunity and said he looked forward to building relationships at Lakewood High School, in the District and in the community. The Superintendent acknowledged the hard work of Cabinet Members, Mr. Berdine, Dr. Bright, Dr. Cahoon, Mr. Gleichauf, and Dr. Palumbo over the past several months in developing the Budget Reduction Plan and recognized Rosemary Wagoner, Heather Burdette and Christine Gordillo for organizing the community and staff meetings that took place earlier in the year. The Superintendent thanked the Board of Education for their patience in the process, the District s employee groups for their willingness to take concessions, building principals for their willingness to think creatively and to the community and staff for their willingness to provide their thoughts and ideas in helping to shape the criteria that resulted in the budget reductions. The Superintendent reviewed information provided to the community at the Community Capstone Meeting held on March 8, Included in the presentation was a review of expenditures and revenues, the community and staff feedback regarding the areas which were of the highest concern to preserve, the development of a comprehensive recommendation to reduce the projected deficit, and a list of recommended budget reductions. The Budget Reduction Plan, which represents $8.6 million in reductions for FY12, FY13, and FY14, accomplishes three important goals: it minimizes the impact on student achievement; it meets the criteria set by our community; and it will significantly reduce the amount of millage necessary in The Superintendent recommended that the Board consider the Budget Reduction Plan for adoption on June 4, This ended the Superintendent s Report.. COMMUNICATIONS Board President Shaughnessy asked if there were any communications received by the Treasurer, the Superintendent or members of the Board. Mr. Favre informed the Board of a Girls on the Run event in Akron that he attended which included 1200 participants. Students from Grant, Emerson, and Lincoln Elementary Schools, as well as Garfield and Harding Middle Schools participate in Girls on the Run. Board President Shaughnessy read a letter from a Lakewood student who asked the Board to consider adding a swing set to the Emerson playground.

5 Board President Shaughnessy asked if any members of the public would like to speak. Terry Provo, Archdale Avenue, requested that the Board consider renaming Harding Middle School. Board President Shaughnessy replied that the topic was discussed during the Phase II construction process when Harding was rebuilt and it was decided to retain the name for continuity. An Ethel Avenue resident, questioned the elementary school closure proposed in the Budget Reduction Plan. Colleen Clark Sutton, Clifton Boulevard, asked questions about the school closure, employee group negotiations, and cuts in music and art. Mr. Favre spoke about the unconstitutionality of school funding, how the burden of funding continues to be shifted to the local level, and the state s decision to help fund school rebuilding projects through the Ohio Schools Facilities Commission as a way to offset the financial burden on districts general funds. As the issue of school funding remains unresolved, Mr. Favre asked if there was any movement among school groups or affiliated groups to pursue a resolution to state funding and/or to exert influence to move the state forward on funding the facilities. The Superintendent responded that the legislature is holding reserves, some of which the legislature recently released. Administration is trying to find out what impact the release of those reserves might have on the Lakewood City Schools.
