District details 34.5 grant-funded FTE and tradeoffs to protect classrooms
Summary
Administrators said roughly 34.5 FTE (about 42 individuals) are funded through the integrated grants and SIA; they framed those positions as critical to avoiding layoffs and explained staffing tradeoffs used during budget shortfalls.
Presenters outlined that integrated grants and the Student Investment Account fund a sizable portion of district staffing. "So we have 34 and 0.5 positions that are included in these grant programs... 3.5 FTE were in the early literacy grant... and then we had 20 almost 26 positions in the student investment account," Kim said when listing how FTE are allocated across grants.
Staff emphasized that these grant-funded positions represent real people and that preserving classroom staffing was a priority during the prior year—s reductions. One staff member clarified the conversion from FTE to individuals: "That 34.5 FTE represents 42 individuals." Administrators said the district may need to reclassify or reassign donor-funded positions back into district funds if grant eligibility or external donations change.
