HR outlines staffing model, possible reassignments and rightsizing scenarios
Summary
Human-resources staff presented a position-control staffing model tied to enrollment: since June the district posted 67 jobs, filled 61, and is monitoring schools with declining enrollment to consider reassignments (a TOSA reassignment to Scotts Mills) and targeted reductions only if enrollments fail to recover.
Tony, the district staffing lead, briefed the board on summer hiring and the position-control approach the district is using to align staff with enrollment. "Since June 1, we've had 67 total jobs posted," he said, outlining the mix of administrators, licensed and classified positions and summer grant hires.
He explained the district adjusts its ratios by excluding specialized program counts where appropriate and targets an average class-size assumption of about 25 for general-purpose staffing. Tony described a planned reassignment of a teacher-on-special-assignment (TOSA) from Robert Frost to Scotts Mills to meet instructional needs; he said that move may trigger a later recommendation for a reduction in force if the net staffing picture cannot be otherwise accommodated. Board members pressed for attention to student experience and asked that parents and principals be looped into scenario planning before implementation.
Tony said district staff will continue monitoring enrollment daily through the start of school and will delay irreversible staffing changes until after early enrollment counts and principal consultation.
