District staffing snapshot: HR report shows steep reductions, enrollment drop
Summary
District HR presented a staffing snapshot showing an estimated ~19% reduction in employees year‑over‑year and an enrollment decline of about 72 students; the report broke the decreases into licensed, classified and supervisory groups and framed choices for the upcoming budget cycle.
Tony, the district staffing presenter, told the board the staffing report is an HR snapshot comparing 12/03/2023 with 12/03/2024 and said the district had lost roughly 72 students in enrollment and "about 19%" of employees on an FTE basis.
Tony gave detailed breakdowns by category: licensed FTE decreased by about 17.75%, classified FTE dropped roughly 20.5%, and supervisory and administrative positions also fell. He said instructional assistant 1 positions and English-language teacher FTE saw particularly large proportional declines. Tony explained how leaves, temporary hires and split assignments can make FTE figures differ from head-counts and noted that principals made building-level staffing decisions during reductions, which produced variation across schools.
Board members pressed for clarity on how FTE and position counts were calculated and how the reductions compare to student enrollment declines; members raised concerns about preserving core instruction and high-priority supports as the district budgets for next year and prepares for negotiations. The superintendent and HR staff said the monthly data Tony will provide during the budget cycle will inform decisions about whether to use a district-wide staffing model or continue building-level choices.
