District proposes modest staffing reduction and a 0.7 discretionary FTE for 2025–26
Summary
District staff proposed a tentative staffing plan for fiscal year 2025–26 that reduces licensed staff by 2 FTE through attrition and transfers (from 63.9 to 61.9 licensed FTE) while adding a 0.7 discretionary FTE for unforeseen needs; staff said no reduction-in-force is recommended and estimated salary savings of about $130,000.
District administrators presented a tentative staffing recommendation for fiscal year 2025–26 that would reduce licensed staffing by two full-time equivalent positions while preserving services through attrition and department reallocations.
Julie, who presented the staffing memo, said the proposal would reduce licensed FTEs from 63.9 in the current year to 61.9 for 2025–26 and that the district is not recommending a reduction in force. "The overall financial impact of the 2 FTE reduction is an anticipated savings of around a hundred and $30 a hundred and $30,000 plus benefits," she said, citing an average teacher-salary assumption used for budgeting.
Julie also introduced a 0.7 discretionary FTE intended to address unforeseen needs — for example, unanticipated higher-than-expected newcomer enrollment that would otherwise require creating an overload section. She said the district would not fill the discretionary position unless needed and that any individual hire would be brought to the board as part of the personnel report.
Board members asked procedural questions about posting, timing and whether the district could post and begin the hiring process if a need arises between meetings; staff said the board would be kept apprised and hires would be presented for approval when made. The staffing proposal will come back to the board as part of the formal budget and personnel approvals.
