PE program reports full staffing and large elementary track meet turnout
Summary
PE staff told the committee that PE positions were nearly fully funded from the referendum, covering 104 PE teachers and 28 technicians, and described a large elementary track meet that included 343 student-athletes and wide school participation.
A physical-education presenter summarized 24-25 PE activities and budget impact during the July 17 meeting. The presenter said referendum funding supported 104 PE teachers and 28 PE technicians; the revised PE budget was $9.6 million with about $192,000 remaining at preliminary close (roughly 98% spent). The nut graf: staff highlighted large-scale student participation events—an elementary track meet involving 12 schools and 343 student-athletes—and said referendum funds sustain PE staffing, supplemental equipment allocations and capital outlay for PE programming. The presenter described creative local programs—e.g., a DIY equestrian herd at Bellevue Santos during Derby season to motivate students—and said each elementary school receives about $2 per student in supplemental equipment funds. Staff reported 104 teachers, 28 technicians, and 7 paraprofessional vacancies at the time of the report. Ending: PE staff will continue to use referendum support for staffing, equipment and events and will provide final 24-25 numbers in the September report.
