Board hears staffing needs, enrollment changes and charter/online program constraints
Summary
Board members discussed recent enrollment shifts, an expected hire recommendation for two positions, the district's pay/benefit markups (50–60%), and limits on charter/online program transfers (3% cap discussed). Staff will email per-student revenue and PERS tier breakdowns to board members.
Board members pressed for concrete staffing and enrollment details to inform budgeting and the strategic plan. Staff reported recent changes in school enrollments (examples included adds at Butte Creek and Robert Frost) and recommended hiring one licensed teacher and one classified assistant to address capacity at those sites.
Board members asked what a full-time teacher represents in terms of total budget costs including benefits; staff said markup for wages and benefits is typically assumed at 50%–60% to capture fringe costs. The superintendent and HR/finance staff agreed to email the weighted per-student revenue figures and a PERS tier breakdown to the board for follow-up.
The board also discussed charter school payments: staff said the district collects about 19% from one charter and about 20% from another under earlier agreements, and noted the district has been working on an online hybrid program so it can retain students rather than losing them to outside online charters. Staff cited a 3% cap on students leaving to online programs as a statutory constraint referenced in their review.
