Acknowledgements 
The development of the Waterford Public Schools Fiscal Plan for 2024-25 is a substantial leadership responsibility.  We know from 
best practice that quality is achieved through the involvement of many people.  The Waterford Public Schools Budget is consistent 
with and supportive of the Board of Education goals.  Input was provided by district administrators, schools administrators, teachers, 
staff and Board members.  All are to be commended in balancing the needs of all students and our local taxpayers. 
I also wish to acknowledge the efforts and hard work of our support staff that helped to prepare the document and data to serve as 
an informative decision-making tool.  Special recognition goes to Karen Kopec, Accounting Supervisor, Caroline Whittaker, Executive 
Secretary to the Superintendent, and Jamilee Hume, Executive Secretary to Assistant Superintendent of Schools.   
The efforts extended by so many people involved in this budget process are gratefully acknowledged.

INTRODUCTION 
 
 
 

 
 
Mission of the Waterford Public Schools 
 
Waterford Public Schools is a community of learners that fosters 
and supports high aspirations, ensuring every student acquires the 
skills and knowledge necessary to be a responsible citizen, 
prepared to contribute and succeed in an ever-changing world. 
 
Dear Waterford Board of Education Members, Elected Officials, and 
Community Members: 
I am very proud of our team for continuing to meet the conditions we 
face in education in 2024.  We continue to be responsive and 
innovative in a multitude of ways.  Our district is in year two of our 
most recent three-year Strategic Plan; continuing the work of the 
previous plan but also responding to the world in which we live today.  
This Strategic Plan, in alignment with Board of Education goals, builds 
upon our commitment to providing equitable opportunities and 
outcomes for our students.  Our district continues to change rapidly 
with our Multilingual Learners population tripling in the last five years.  
26 languages are spoken in our schools and town each day, up from 17 
languages last school year.  Our multilingual student population now 
stands at 130 students, up from 115 last year.  All indications are that 
Great Neck Elementary School will be designated as a bilingual school 
by the Connecticut State Department of Education.  We continue to 
grow our career pathways programming at Waterford High School to 
ensure every student has a strong post-secondary plan in place.  With 
the change in the law regarding Kindergarten admission age, we stand 
ready with a plan to address this as well. 
 
Inflation is a real factor affecting everything from commodities pricing 
to goods and services, energy, healthcare, and wages.  Unfunded 
government mandates show no sign of slowing down, including a new 
personal finance course and a new anti-bullying law, which will both 
impact us in the 2025-2026 school year financially; but planning is 
underway now. 
 
COVID-relief grants from the state and federal governments have 
ended, impacting our bottom line as we continue to provide services 
to students who significantly lag behind pre-pandemic peers in the 
areas of academics, social and emotional well-being, and mental 
health.    Some of the COVID-funded programs have been eliminated, 
scaled back, as well as adopted into this FY25 budget proposal.   
 
This proposal preserves reasonable class sizes even with the spike we 
saw in some of our elementary schools last summer.  This budget 
includes 2.0 elementary teaching positions added by the Board of 
Education during the 2023-2024 school year to address class sizes.  The 
comprehensive district-wide energy project continues to help to 
mitigate any significant increase in electricity. 
 
This proposal continues current course offerings and curricular 
programs, but does see the loss of services to students with the 
elimination of 2.0 intervention tutor positions at the middle school that 
had been COVID grant funded.  Our district supports a strong 
extracurricular 
program 
and 
an 
investment 
in 
professional 
development and curriculum renewal in order to maintain and 
advance the quality of programs and teaching.   
The FY25 Budget starts and ends with major cost drivers impacting the 
increase.  Outside of the major cost drivers, this budget is negative.

Our Leadership Team examined our Board-approved budget 
assumptions, Board Goals, District Strategic Plan, School Growth Plans, 
enrollment   projections, current   programs, initiatives, staff 
assignments, and supply and equipment needs that support our 
mission, vision, priorities, and instructional focus.   All budget requests 
from building and department leaders were reviewed and scrutinized 
by me and the Central Office Team.  As is the case every year, requests 
were prioritized to meet students’ needs.  Reductions from initial 
requests were a collaborative approach and were considered based on 
strategic priorities. 
It is important to note that the last ten years of Waterford Board of 
Education budget increases have averaged 2.0% when inflation and 
wages have increased at much higher rates. 
This budget invests in continued improvement and is intended to 
promote growth and achievement, while meeting the challenges we 
face.  This budget will meet all of the Board’s statutory obligations and 
mandates with the goal of not compromising rigor in the classroom, 
supporting the social and emotional learning of students, and 
promoting continued high-quality teaching through embedded 
professional learning, all the while maintaining high expectations for 
all of our students. 
Conclusion 
I would like to acknowledge the hard work of our team including our 
principals, department heads, directors and supervisors, business 
office and central office staff, and our faculty.  I particularly want to 
recognize the efforts of Joe Mancini, Director of Finance and 
Operations; Craig Powers, Assistant Superintendent; and Gina 
Wygonik, Director of Special Services, who have spent many hours over 
the last several months assisting in the development of this budget.   
The Waterford Public Schools continues to be an exceptional school 
district in so many ways.  We appreciate the community’s support that 
allows the Board of Education to sustain the outstanding academic, co- 
 
curricular, and athletic programs that ensure that all Waterford 
students receive a high-quality education.  The team and I stand 
prepared to assist you in your deliberations related to this proposed 
budget.   
Sincerely, 
 
 
Thomas W. Giard III 
Superintendent of Schools
