Board approves three vacant‑position reductions to reduce budgetary pressure
Summary
Trustees approved eliminating three vacant positions—a bus driver, a computer technician, and a paraprofessional—projected to save about $171,000 including benefits. Administration said positions were thoroughly reviewed and determined unlikely to impair operations; HR will model the savings into the 2025‑26 budget.
Administration proposed and the board approved reducing three vacant positions to cut recurring costs: one classified bus driver position, one classified computer technician, and one classified paraprofessional. Director Blackburn said the positions were carefully reviewed over months to ensure reductions would not cause operational harm and that some workload could be reallocated.
Blackburn said the total estimated savings with benefits is approximately $171,000. Trustees discussed the impact on transportation and other services; transportation staff confirmed current route needs can be met with existing personnel but cautioned that future changes could require additional hires. The motion to reduce the three positions was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.
