Santa Fe ISD previews possible reductions across routes, staffing and events
Summary
Superintendent Dr. Bott presented a package of possible reductions for the next school year—including bus/daycare routes, elementary security assistants, overtime and overnight events—flagged for further discussion in a board workshop.
The Santa Fe ISD superintendent presented a preliminary set of potential cost-saving measures the district may pursue for the 2026–2027 school year, and the board agreed to continue the conversation in a forthcoming workshop.
The minutes state, "The Board received monthly report information from various departments. Dr. Bott presented information on possible reductions throughout the District for next school year. The Board will discuss these further in a Board Workshop." Specific options listed in the open minutes included possible reduction of bus routes and daycare routes, reductions in elementary campus security assistants, cuts to staff overtime and extra duty pay, reductions in overnight athletic events and some Career and Technical Education activities and staff development, and consideration of district-wide energy savings. Teacher intern positions were also listed for consideration. No formal decisions were made; the item was informational and slated for follow-up discussion.
