Board reviews staffing reductions and approves playground and fence contracts
Summary
Trustees received staffing reduction details tied to declining enrollment and school consolidations, rescinded some notices and approved contracts for an accessible playground and upgraded fencing at Sasserini Elementary.
District HR staff updated trustees on classified and certificated position changes driven by declining elementary and middle‑school enrollment and the presswood (Prestwood) consolidation. The update explained position‑by‑position adjustments including reductions in full‑time roles, conversion of some positions to paraprofessional roles, and the rescinding of four certificated notices as of April 30, 2026.
Trustees asked for clarifications: nurses and LVNs will be retained on site as needed, library/tech positions will be consolidated across sites, and some 8‑hour roles will be converted or split to match student schedules. Staff emphasized compliance requirements for reducing hours and said negotiations with the classified union would be required to change full‑time FTE to reduced hours.
On facilities, staff asked approval to award a $341,402.95 contract (via Omnia Partners) for a new inclusive playground at Sasserini and recommended a district‑funded wrought‑iron and chain‑link fencing project to prevent elopement; trustees approved both items. The playground is grant‑funded; the fence will be paid from Fund 40.
