Board brief clarifies $1.5M staffing reduction from last spring is separate from current vacancies
Summary
Staff told the board that roughly $1.5 million in staffing reductions was included in last spring's budget work and is separate from the current ~15 positions marked 'not filling at this time'; those prior reductions were already built into the 25/26 budget.
A committee member (S2) asked how the list of current vacancies related to an earlier figure of about $1.5 million in staffing reductions. Director (S1) confirmed the $1.5M tally came from last spring's personnel actions and that those savings were already factored into the district's current 2025–26 budgeting assumptions.
Staff clarified the present list of roughly 15 positions is additional and would be accounted for through a budget amendment if the board directs those positions to be removed permanently. Director (S1) said the district cannot amend the budget unilaterally and must bring any changes back to the board for approval.
