Board approves elimination of Title I‑A positions to address $83,000 grant deficit
Summary
The Ontario SD 8C board approved elimination of Title I‑A positions totaling about $83,000 (roughly 3.5 FTE) to cover a Title I‑A grant deficit; the change is effective January 2026 after discussion in the work session and a unanimous vote.
The Ontario School District 8C Board of Directors voted Jan. 26 to eliminate Title I‑A positions to resolve a grant deficit. Director of Federal Programs Anabel Ortiz‑Chavolla told the board the action is intended to address a shortfall "for about $83,000 that is equivalent to about 3.5 FTE," with the reductions effective in January 2026.
The Title I‑A deficit item was added to the agenda as a report after the facilities update. Director Abby Apodaca moved to approve the position eliminations and Director Lisa Reeser seconded; the motion passed on a unanimous roll‑call vote. Board discussion referenced a previous work session where the reductions were discussed; the board did not record any public comments on the item. The district indicated the personnel reductions are tied directly to the Title I‑A grant shortfall and apply to certificated/paraprofessional staffing funded under that grant.
