Superintendent: district working with union on plan to reduce licensed positions to no more than 10
Summary
District leaders told the board they are working with administration and the union to reduce licensed positions to a target of no more than 10, describing it as a difficult process with contract considerations and ongoing communication.
Board members received an update on planned licensed staff reductions and the process for implementing them.
A presenter summarized previous board direction and said the administration "approved or move in a motion to, reduce the license back to no more than 10" and that the admin team has been working closely with the union and staff to understand contract language and program impacts. The presenter described the process as challenging but "a smooth process so far as much as it can be," and emphasized ongoing communication and review of programs and buildings to minimize disruption.
The superintendent thanked principals and staff for their work on the topic and acknowledged the difficulty of reducing staff, noting the district is trying to balance program needs, contracts and compassion for affected employees. The board did not take a final action at this meeting; administrators reported continuing negotiations and planning.
