Administration proposes moving Sequoia program into district space to save rent costs
Summary
Administration floated relocating the Sequoia program from a leased facility into district-owned space (district office or high school classrooms) as a major cost-saving move; staff estimated rent savings equivalent to nearly a teacher's salary and said more analysis is required.
Administration raised a potential cost-saving option: moving the Sequoia program from a leased facility into existing district-owned space (for example, the district office or spare classrooms at the high school). Kim said the idea could free up an amount roughly equivalent to a teacher—s salary. "Can we move the Sequoia kids into the district office?... We're gonna put some sprinklers in there," she said, asking staff to run cost comparisons.
Staff discussed rough rent and facility numbers in the meeting; one participant said the lease equated to a substantial recurring cost. Administrators described this as a large ask but said it could free resources for staff or programming if feasible. They assigned follow-up to facilities/finance to explore feasibility and savings.
