Committee clarified substitutes funding after line-item reallocations in draft budget
Summary
Committee members queried why substitute-teacher funds showed zeros on page 3; staff confirmed substitute funding remains in the budget but has been moved to different lines and will still cover licensed and classified substitutes.
A committee member pointed out that substitute-teacher allocations shown on page 3 of the draft budget appeared as zeros, asking whether the district still planned to retain funding for substitutes.
The committee member noted last year's entries: "last year we had budgeted $55,000 for licensed substitute, and $20,000 for classified substitutes for Coquille Valley Elementary," and asked why the current draft showed zeros. A staff member confirmed substitutes remain budgeted but that the amounts have been redistributed to other lines within the budget rather than appearing on the same page.
The committee accepted that substitutes are still funded and moved on to a full vote on the budget. The transcript does not specify the exact new line-item locations or the aggregate total now assigned to substitutes.
