Cutten School Board weighs staffing options as TK enrollment lags
Summary
Trustees reviewed three tentative certificated staffing scenarios for 2025–26 amid lower-than-expected TK enrollment; staff warned that some options could require a half-combo class or a teacher layoff depending on final counts.
The Cutten School District Board of Trustees discussed three tentative certificated staffing options for the 2025–26 school year at its Feb. 10 meeting as transitional kindergarten (TK) applications remained below expectations.
District staff outlined: Option 1, which would largely preserve current staffing but adds one third-grade teacher that the district said may not be financially responsible; Option 2, which reflects forecasted TK impacts and may require a half-combo classroom for some grades; and Option 3, which would reduce kindergarten classes to three and could require laying off a teacher. Trustees discussed fiscal trade-offs and requested staff continue modeling enrollment scenarios before any staffing decisions are made.
No staffing motions or layoffs were approved during the meeting; trustees emphasized decisions will depend on final enrollment counts and budget constraints.
