Proposed staffing changes would save about $1.21 million; district proposes two targeted additions
Summary
The district's packet lists proposed reductions totaling $1,207,308 (including nine teacher positions and three assistant principals) and proposed additions costing $97,091 (one dyslexia teacher and one bus driver). The board reviewed the proposals as part of its budget workshop.
Santa Rosa ISD's budget materials presented to the board on June 3 list specific proposed staff reductions with estimated savings of $1,207,308. The reductions shown include three assistant principals ($241,028), one band teacher ($79,725), one chief facilities & operations officer ($99,692), nine teacher positions ($557,883), five paraprofessionals ($115,298), one PEIMS coordinator ($84,347) and one maintenance worker ($29,335).
At the same time the packet proposes limited additions intended to meet operational needs: one dyslexia teacher ($65,091) and one bus driver ($32,000), totaling $97,091 in added expense. Presenters positioned the reductions and additions as options to close parts of the projected budget gap the workshop identified; the minutes do not show formal board adoption of these staffing changes at the June 3 meeting.
The staffing slide notes the net savings from the reductions would substantially offset the district's projected shortfall but also reduces instructional and administrative capacity if implemented. Specific individuals affected by the reductions were not named in the open packet.
