Board approves layoff notification for one classified custodian position due to lack of funds
Summary
The board approved a resolution notifying certain classified employees of non‑reemployment or reduced hours for 2025–26; staff said the action reduces the custodian allocation by 1.375 FTE and is driven by declining enrollment and budget pressures.
The Sunol Glen Unified board approved Resolution No. 24-2025-25 to notify certain classified employees of the district's decision not to reemploy or to reduce hours for the 2025–26 school year due to budget shortfalls.
Superintendent Cliff said the layoff decision affects custodial staffing (a 1.375 FTE reduction) and is the next step after earlier notices and rights information were provided to the affected employees. "Due to a lack of funds, we have a reduction in our workforce for our custodian. That is 1.375," the superintendent told the board.
Board members acknowledged the difficulty of the decision, noting statewide enrollment declines and fiscal pressure on small districts. The board approved the resolution on a voice vote and expressed appreciation for the employee's contributions while noting the statutory process the district followed.
Why this matters: the personnel action reflects budget constraints that will affect operations and requires the district to follow statutory notice procedures and offer any rehire rights consistent with policy and law.
