Teachers’ union raises concern about next year’s budget; praises district for avoiding layoffs
Summary
Wy'East Education Association Co‑President Mackenzie Woodcock told the board that parent‑teacher conferences strengthened relationships and said teachers are worried about budget cuts for the coming year; she thanked the district for previous steps that avoided reductions in force.
Mackenzie Woodcock, co‑president of the Wy'East Education Association, presented a certified‑staff update at the Dec. 8 meeting. She said conferences held before the recent break "help to build relationships and communications with families" and said teachers remain concerned about proposed budget cuts for the next school year.
Woodcock thanked the district for prior efforts to be creative and to avoid reductions in force (RIFs). Her remarks were presented as part of the certified‑staff item; the minutes record concerns but do not show a board vote or specific budget action taken at the meeting.
The comments from certified staff follow the financial briefing given earlier by the district’s Business Services Director, underscoring the fiscal context in which teachers and staff are seeking clarity about staffing and program priorities.
