2009-2010 Staffing Proposals (Drafts 1-4)
Board Subcommittee Meetings
May 21, 2009
The HR Board Subcommittee met last evening to discuss proposed staff reductions. Four (4) draft proposals were presented for elementary staff reductions. These drafts range in reduction from -5 FTE to -11 FTE. While there are no anticipated changes in secondary level class sizes (29-1), any/all reductions may potentially impact both K12 and SEP members. Formal action for any potential layoffs will be taken on June 9, 2009.
HR Director will chair a committee to study allowing district employees’ children to enroll their students in NPS. This committee will meet the first week in June. A pilot program for 2009-10 is possible and still to be discussed.
2009-2010 Staffing Proposals (Drafts 1-4)
May 5, 2009
On Thursday, April 30, 2009,
the District local presidents were asked to attend a meeting with the
Superintendent, Director of Finance, and Director of Human Resources. At this
meeting, the District presented an anticipated $1 Million budget deficit. Local
leaders were asked to provide the Superintendent with their recommended
reductions to help balance the budget by May 8, 2009.
It is, and will remain the Association’s position that it will not make any recommended reductions that will ultimately result in district employees losing jobs and benefits. Rather, the Association stated that it would be willing to make Revenue Enhancement recommendations.
Subsequently, the NEA Executive Council and the NEA Bargaining Team attended the May 5, 2009, BOE Finance Subcommittee meeting to submit a condensed list of Revenue Enhancements for consideration. It became clear at this meeting that the District has already made preliminary decisions regarding reductions that will potentially cause district employees to lose their jobs and benefits.
Upon review of the District/Administrative Council (Principals) Reduction List, please note that the far right column indicates reductions that the District anticipates implementing. This list of reductions includes but is not limited to the following: K12 Media Specialists, Elementary Classroom Teachers, Social Worker, Resource Room Teachers, Learning Consultants. This document also includes a list of reductions that are still being considered including but not limited to changing/eliminating Middle School A/B Schedule and the reduction of secondary level electives.
In the face of recommended reductions, take special note of the fact that the District is 32% over budget relative to Legal Services and has also chosen to provide the HR Director with a 13.4% raise.
