Summary
Citing fiscal pressures and enrollment decline, the board directed the superintendent to prepare a reduction‑in‑force plan under policy GZPA that identifies programs to be reduced or eliminated; the motion passed unanimously with language to consider alternatives.
Faced with enrollment declines and a tightening budget, the Winston‑Dillard School District board voted to direct the superintendent to prepare a reduction‑in‑force plan under district policy GZPA.
The chair explained the policy requires the superintendent to prepare a plan identifying programs that would be reduced or eliminated if necessary. Board members discussed adding language to the motion to emphasize consideration and review of options; the motion, including consideration language, was seconded and approved by voice vote.
