Board trims some ECA positions, reorganizes extracurriculars to save costs
Summary
Board approved an ECA schedule cleanup that eliminates or consolidates advisor positions and some clubs (e.g., gymnastics replaced by girls wrestling) to reduce budgeted costs and better match student interest.
The superintendent presented an extracurricular activity (ECA) schedule cleanup, explaining that some clubs and advisor positions no longer align with current student participation and that eliminating redundant roles will be a budget savings. He noted athletics changes (gymnastics replaced by girls wrestling) and consolidation of some clubs.
The board discussed that, had all positions been hired, the ECA list would have exceeded the budget by more than $100,000; with the proposed adjustments the projected maximum was in the $77,000–$78,000 range. The board approved the cleanup motion by voice vote.
