Board approves staffing plan tied to modest enrollment increase, projects net $150,000 positive impact
Summary
Prospect Heights SD 23 approved the 2026-27 staffing plan that projects a modest rise in enrollment to 1,422 students, no net change in FTE, and an approximate positive budget impact of $150,000; administration noted five retirements and that sectioning will shift by grade.
District administration presented projected enrollment using Forecast5 birth data and five-year cohort survival rates. The memo and presentation showed total enrollment projections rising slightly to 1,422 for 2026 with detailed grade-by-grade tables; administration said the net staffing result is flat (0.0 FTE) but identified shifts between grade levels and a projected positive budget impact of about $150,000.
The board approved the staffing plan as presented. Administration flagged five retirements (two participants in the district's retirement incentive) and emphasized that staffing placements remain subject to retirements, resignations and final spring enrollment. The motion to approve the staffing plan was made by Tracey Morrissey and seconded by Brynn Nordmark and recorded as passed in the minutes.
