Board approves staffing additions after initial 2026–27 enrollment projections
Summary
District presented initial enrollment projections showing flat growth overall and proposed adding two campus safety specialists and an assistant principal at 2 Rivers; trustees approved the staffing recommendations 5-0.
An associate superintendent presented initial 2026–27 enrollment projections and recommended staffing updates tied to site-level needs. The presenter said projections are initial and influenced by mobility, charter enrollments and housing trends, and described one principal staffing request driven by site interest.
The board approved three staffing requests the presenter put forward: two additional campus safety specialists (one at Heron School and one at Paso Verde School) and one assistant principal at 2 Rivers Elementary. The presenter explained a staff poll at 2 Rivers showed 92% of staff favored hiring an assistant principal over a dedicated safety staff member. The motion to approve the recommendations passed by roll call vote (motion carries 5-0).
On the broader staffing picture the presenter said: "We are not predicting or we do not need to have any staff layoffs for 20 20 six-twenty 7." Trustees asked clarifying questions about TK, preschool funding distinctions and potential special-education growth; staff said they will keep monitoring enrollment and return with refinements as the year progresses.
