Finance committee reports net decrease of roughly 10.35 positions; health insurance, salaries drive cost pressures

Mar 30, 2026

Finance committee reported a detailed cost-center review and said the district shows a net decrease of about 10.35 positions (many unfilled) while projected expense increases are primarily due to health insurance (could be up to 14%) and wage/salary adjustments.

The full story

The finance committee reported it had run marathon sessions with cost center leaders to drill down into line-item budgets and to resolve questions in committee before full-board presentation. The finance representative said administrators have identified line-item savings and that many of the positions counted as reductions were unfilled roles carried in last year’s budget.
