Administration estimates roughly $250,000 in one-time transition costs for reconfiguration
Summary
Staff told the board the transition would include about $200,000 for teacher planning/PD (40 hours each) and roughly $50,000 for moving and incidentals, totaling about $250,000; administrators' routine overtime was described as part of job duties.
Administration provided a preliminary budget estimate for one-time transition costs connected to the proposed reconfiguration. Shaw and staff explained teacher planning/PD would be budgeted at approximately 40 hours per impacted teacher (paid at $32.75/hour), which administration estimated at about $200,000, plus roughly $50,000 for moving trucks and other incidentals — a total figure near $250,000: "we we boil that all down, that comes to a tune of about $200,000...and then approximately another 50,000...so when we're looking at the total cost, we're looking at a total cost of approximately $250,000 to make this adjustment" (Shaw).
Board members asked where administrative costs were captured; administration said additional hours for district administrators are generally covered within existing duties. Several board members urged clearer line-item breakdowns and asked for a more detailed budget in follow-up materials before any vote.
