Board approves increase of two early‑childhood support positions from 0.7 to 1.0 FTE
Summary
Board approved increasing two support positions from 0.7 to 1.0 full‑time equivalent to support all‑day four‑year‑old programming and expanded wraparound childcare; administrators said expected state contributions should cover the change but exact impact depends on enrollment.
The board voted to increase two early‑childhood support positions from 0.7 to 1.0 full‑time equivalent to support expansion of all‑day four‑year‑old programming and wraparound childcare. Administrator / Staff member (S5) said the district is expanding programming and expects state contributions and increased funding to cover the staff increases, though final cost depends on actual enrollment.
Staff described that converting two part‑time positions to full‑time will help cover additional days and greater hours tied to expanded services. The motion to approve the FTE changes was made, seconded and carried by voice vote.
Board members noted this change is intended to help recruit families into district programming at the youngest ages, potentially increasing retention into later grades. Implementation details and the timing of the staffing changes will be handled by district administration.
