Home My Public Portal About2018 Annual Watertown Report TOWN OFWATERTOWN 2018 ANNUAL REPORT 1630 • dP • The Town Seal Designed by Charles Brigham,Architect Story of the Watertown Seal On the Watertown seal is a picture of an English Colonist and an Indian exchanging, as peace tokens, bread for fish. Capt.Roger Clap, who landed at Nantusket Point in 1630, and rowed up Charles River to Gerry's Landing with the first party of Watertown Colonists, records the following story of the trip: "We went up Charles River until the river grew narrow and shallow, and there we landed our goods with much labor and toil,the bank being steep and night coming on. "We were informed that there were hard by us three hundred Indians. One Englishman that could speak the Indian language(an old Planter)went to them and advised them not to come near us in the night;and they harkened to his counsels,and came not,I myself was one of the sentinels that first night. Our Captain was a Low Country soldier,one Mr.Southcot,a brave soldier. "In the morning some of the Indians came and stood at a distance off,looking at us,but came not near us;but when they had been a while in view,some of them came and held out a great Bass toward us;so we sent a man with a Bisket,and changed the Cake for a Bass.Afterwards,they supplied us with Bass, exchanging a Bass for a Bisket Cake,and were very friendly to us. "O dear children! Forget not what care God had over his dear servants, to watch over and protect us in our weak beginnings. Capt. Squeb turned ashore us and our goods,like a mercyless man,but God, ever our mercyful God, took pity on us; so that we were supplied, first with a boat, and them caused may Indians (some hundreds) to be ruled by the advice of one man not to come near us. Alas, had they come,how soon might they have destroyed us!I think we were not above ten in number.But God caused the Indians to help us with fish at very cheap rates." 1 a TABLE OF CONTENTS ..........................

The majority of any district's annual budget is spent on staffing resources. In fact,eighty percent of the FY19 Superintendent's Recommended Budget is for salary related expenditures. As the figure below demonstrates,district staffing,as reported by the district through the annual Educator Personnel Information Management System (EPIMS),has increased by 98.6 FTE over the past 11 years. This is an increase of 26%. Staffing levels for all categories reported by the district to the state as part of the Educator Personnel Information Management System (EPIMS)have increases by 96.7 FTE since 2007-08. In fact,over the past three years,60 FTE positions have been added to the school district. The most significant growth has been in the paraprofessional category where staffing has increased by almost 68 percent or 35 FTE over the past nine years. The greatest increase in staffing has occurred in the paraprofessional category with a total increase of 62.7 FTE's,or 82.5%,in the past ten years. The next highest increase is in the Special Education Related Staff which has increased by 26.4 staff from a low of 3.0 in 2007- 08,an increase of 880%. It is important to note that EPIMS submissions exclude operational staff including custodial and maintenance staff,and networking and technology support staff. While there have been modest increases in technology support staff,there has been an overall reduction in maintenance staff over the past ten years. The EPIMS figures also do not include food service staff or daily substitutes.
