Wilson County Schools weighs cutting extended‑care sites after $584,791 shortfall
Summary
Staff reported the TLC after‑school program ran a projected shortfall of $584,791 (expenditures about $1.6M, revenue $1.037M); administrators proposed consolidating from seven sites to five to reduce the projected deficit, potentially eliminating several positions.
Staff presented the finances for Fund 146 (extended care, TLC and Kids Club). TLC expenditures were projected at about $1,600,000 against revenue of $1,036,945, leaving a shortfall of roughly $584,791 for the TLC program; Kids Club was shown as profitable. The presentation noted unexpected enrollment changes this year—97 children who had been counted on intent forms did not return—which materially affected revenue projections.
To address the deficit, staff proposed reducing TLC from seven sites to five next year; budget runs indicated moving to five sites would shrink the projected red to about $297,804 or closer to breaking even depending on enrollment assumptions. Administrators warned consolidation could affect convenience for families and staffing—about nine positions might be eliminated under the five‑site scenario—but staff said spaces remain available at other sites and they would attempt to accommodate displaced children.
