Summary

District staff outlined a mix of eliminated vacancies, reassigned duties, and three added positions (two vice principals and a maintenance supervisor) that together produce a net reduction of six FTE for 2025–26; some positions were funded by grants.

CFO Randy Anderson reviewed planned staffing changes and how the district counted FTEs for budgeting. Anderson said several long‑vacant or low‑enrollment positions will not be refilled, duties have been reassigned in-house for some roles, and several classified positions have been consolidated. He summarized that those changes, together with three additions, result in a net change of minus six FTE.

Specific reductions noted included a vacant Nutrition Services Director (functions shifted to the Sodexo contract), elimination of a Districtwide Student Success Teacher position with duties absorbed by the high school vice principal, and removal of two middle‑school teacher positions attributed to enrollment dropping from the low 600s to about 500 students. Additions were a high‑school vice principal, a vice principal for the Innovations Academy, and a middle‑school vice principal funded by an Intensive Program Grant; the district also added a maintenance supervisor position.

"When reconciling the numbers, this leaves us with a net change of minus six FTE," Anderson said. A formal, line‑by‑line summary of positions gained and lost was not yet finalized in the printed packet.
