Skyline Schools board approves workforce reduction for 2026–27 school year
Summary
Following FY27 enrollment and funding projections, the board voted to approve a reduction in workforce for the 2026–27 school year; the minutes do not specify the number of positions or which roles will be affected.
After Superintendent Steven Novotny presented projected enrollment figures and Kansas State Department of Education funding projections for fiscal year 2027, the Skyline Schools board voted to approve a reduction in workforce for the 2026–27 school year. Allen Smith made the motion, Mark Graber seconded it, and the minutes record that the motion carried.
The minutes show the board held multiple executive sessions to discuss personnel matters under the KOMA exception for non-elected personnel; David McComb moved and Allen Smith seconded the motions to enter executive session, and the superintendent was invited to attend. The board recorded returns to open session at 7:55 a.m., 8:02 a.m. and 8:12 a.m. The public minutes do not disclose which positions or how many staff will be reduced, nor do they include vote tallies or financial savings estimates tied to the workforce action.
Because the personnel discussion occurred in executive session under state open-meetings law, the public record is limited to the motions and the board’s final action. Any staff notifications, timelines or specifics were not included in the minutes.
