District staff: TLC enrollment produced roughly $585,000 loss this year
Summary
A staff presenter estimated the employee‑childcare program had about 130 enrollees and was running a roughly $585,000 annual deficit — about $4,500 per child or $450 per month — a key justification for program reductions.
A finance‑oriented staff member told the board the TLC program’s enrollment and cost profile generated a large operating loss this year.
"So if we're looking at that total enrollment according to this about a 130 kids at a loss of $585,000 this year," the staff member said, adding that the figure equates to "$4,500 a child or $450 a month in loss per per enrollee." The presentation framed the number as the primary driver behind proposals to scale back sites that are not financially sustainable.
Board members pressed staff about whether moving students to other sites would preserve ratios and whether employees would keep jobs. Staff said tenured employees would be placed on a priority list and non‑tenured employees would receive nonrenewal letters but could apply for vacancies; some reassignments have already been coordinated with principals.
The board did not vote on program closures at this meeting; the chair scheduled a reconvened session for a budget vote the next night.
