District reports absence-recovery revenue and special-education aide pool reduced unfilled shifts by half
Summary
Staff reported the district recovered 3,236 absences and said the revenue generated is approximately $2,226,520 (phrasing in the transcript ambiguous). Special-education staff piloted a floating instructional aide substitute pool that reportedly cut unfilled aide absences by about 50%.
District staff gave a multi-department update that included the language advisory committee (DLAC), an absence-recovery program revenue report, and special-education staffing changes.
Educational-services staff reported on DLAC, expanded English learner supports and an English enrichment academy. The district reported it recovered 3,236 absences and presented a revenue figure in the update: “So far, we have recovered 3,236 absences, and the revenue generated, from that is approximately $2,200,000, $226,520 today,” staff said. The phrasing in the presentation was ambiguous on whether the revenue is meant to be read as $2,226,520 or two separate figures; the district should be asked to clarify the exact dollar amount.
Special education staff reported a pilot of a floating instructional aide substitute pool that sites say reduced unfilled aide absences by roughly 50% each day and helped cover unexpected resignations. Human resources staff said bargaining sessions with three associations have begun with interest-based bargaining training. The board did not take any formal action on these informational items.
