Personnel Budget Overview Part 1:
Proposed Staffing Adjustments Grades 1 - 6

On March 4, the Administration presented a preliminary (Part 1) Personnel Budget Overview for 2009 - 2010 which included the potential for a reduction in force of 15 teaching staff members in grades 1 - 6. This is based upon projected enrollments and a recommendation to increase class size. The district's budgets for the past several years were built upon an optimum level of service which established, in many cases, elementary class sizes below the State average. Given current fiscal constraints and projected enrollments we are recommending an increase in class sizes, but still maintain classes at a level that is well within the range of the State average. Even with this recommendation to increase our current class size by in some cases 4 - 5 students, we preserve the integrity of our commitment to a favorable student/teacher ratio.
