District staff explained that a proposed hiring freeze would not affect positions funded from restricted funds (capital, food service, federal) and that special education is constrained by maintenance-of-effort rules; staff warned a freeze would likely reduce classroom teachers and classified staff, affecting students and existing staff, and noted an estimated additional 10 FTE separations based on historical data.
