Board says search funding likely to come from saved salary lines, contingency if needed
Summary
Attendees asked whether the search would be funded from vacant assistant superintendent salaries; the board said officials would likely use saved salary funds or discretionary/board budget lines first and contingency funds if needed.
An audience member asked whether money to hire a search firm would come from the vacant assistant superintendent salary lines. Board members said they did not have an exact line item to cite but described typical practice: use saved salary funds first, then the board's discretionary budget, and contingency funds only if additional dollars are required.
Board member Jose Matthews said he had spoken with the district CFO and supported that funding approach, noting the district "is a salary down" and could use those savings to cover search costs before tapping contingency funds. No specific dollar amounts or line-item references were provided at the town hall.
