Board warned district still over formula on staff as enrollment falls
Summary
Staff said the district was about 64.45 positions above the state funding formula in FY26 and projected a 190‑student enrollment decline; after cuts the district may still be over by dozens of positions, prompting calls for difficult decisions.
Staff walked the board through staffing data showing the district employed positions above state aid formulas and that, after recent personnel reductions and a projected 190‑student decline, the district could still be over the formula by about 55 state‑aid‑eligible professionals and an estimated 122 service positions. Staff characterized the situation as unsustainable without further action.
Board members discussed consolidation and reassignment options. One member said, "We don't know how we're going to do it, but we have to do it," emphasizing the need for difficult, structural decisions if enrollment declines continue. The board agreed to hold a personnel work session in the fall to explore options before the next personnel season.
