Board hears request to add two bookkeepers and two data-quality clerks for two new schools; estimated remainder-year cost $75,000
Summary
District staff requested hiring two bookkeepers and two data-quality clerks—one of each for Tin Oaks Elementary and Pine Island Elementary—for the remainder of the school year; estimated cost about $75,000 to be included in next year's allocations.
Chief finance/presentation staff asked the board to approve adding a bookkeeper and a data-quality clerk for each of the two new schools opening this year, Tin Oaks Elementary School and Pine Island Elementary School, for the remainder of the school year.
Presenter Lisa Anderson (introduced in the meeting as miss Anderson) said the workload for registration and start-up tasks is too large for a single bookkeeper at a new school and estimated the four positions (two bookkeepers and two data-quality clerks) would cost about $75,000 for the remainder of the year. "That's a massive undertaking for 1 person alone... Mister Gardner has looked at a cost, and he predicts that to be around $75,000 for the remainder of this school year," Anderson said.
The presenter said the positions would be included in budget allocations for the next school year. A board member confirmed the $75,000 estimate covered all four positions (two per school). No formal vote was recorded at the workshop on this request; staff answered clarifying questions and said they would provide additional detail if the board wished to move forward.
Ending: The request was presented for consideration and will be included in budget discussions; staff offered to supply further cost breakdowns if requested.
