Aurora East USD 131 requests grant-funded secretary for Jump Start preschool program
Summary
Staff asked the committee to approve adding a secretary position to support the district's Jump Start and preschool programs, saying expanded grant budgets (about $1 million growth) have increased administrative workload; the new position would be paid from grant funds.
District staff requested committee approval to add a secretary position to support the Jump Start preschool program, saying recent increases in grant budgets have substantially increased administrative workload and the position would be funded from grant funds.
A staff member told the committee that the preschool and Jump Start program's grant budgets have increased "almost a million dollars," creating additional work to order supplies, support classrooms and perform required background work. To address the additional workload, the staff member said the district proposes an additional secretary position whose salary would be paid from grant funds.
Committee members had no questions about the funding source during the presentation. The request was introduced as an informational/action item to be handled through the district's personnel and budget processes; no formal vote was recorded at this committee meeting.
