Redmond SD proposes $3.45M in reductions, plans to cut 16.22 FTE
Summary
The district proposed $3.45 million in budget reductions including a requested 3.5% cut for departments, elimination of 16.22 FTE (12.47 classified, 2 administrative, 1.75 teaching), and deferred program spending.
As part of the proposed 2026–27 budget, the district outlined $3.45 million in reductions intended to limit service impacts while closing the projected shortfall.
The plan asks each department and school to find roughly a 3.5% reduction prioritizing minimal student impact. Staffing reductions total 16.22 full‑time equivalents: 12.47 classified positions, 2 administrative positions and 1.75 teaching positions. Other operational savings identified include a 10% reduction in supplies and materials, reduced professional development and new teacher orientation, scaled‑back credit recovery, and deferred technology purchases. The committee did not vote on these reductions at the meeting; members were asked to review and raise questions before the May 13 public session.
