Board hears proposal to reduce three grant-funded certificated services; staff says affected employees will be reassigned
Summary
Staff presented Resolution 2501 to reduce or eliminate three temporary grant-funded certificated positions (1.0 FTE professional learning specialist, 1.0 FTE site instructional coach, 1.0 FTE CTE/dual-enrollment specialist) because grant funds ended; staff said they have notified affected employees and will seek reassignment to vacancies so no one loses district employment.
District staff presented Resolution 2501, which would authorize reduction or elimination of specific certificated services for 2025-26 because the temporary grant funding that supported those positions has ended.
According to the presentation by Mr. Bash, the affected positions are: a 1.0 FTE professional learning specialist, a 1.0 FTE site-based instructional coach, and a 1.0 FTE CTE and dual-enrollment specialist. Staff cited Education Code sections 44949 and 44955 as the legal framework for notice and process.
Board members asked whether any employees would lose their jobs. Staff responded that those staff had been placed in temporary, grant-funded positions with the understanding of annual review; supervisors and the district teacher union (RCA) had been informed and staff will pursue reassignment to vacancies within the district. "The short answer is no — no one is losing a position in the district, just shifting positions," a staff speaker said.
The transcript records the presentation and Q&A; a final vote on Resolution 2501 is not recorded in the provided excerpt.
The board asked staff to follow the statutory notice process and to continue communications with affected employees and unions; staff said they would work to find "soft landing" placements and report back to the board.
