Superintendent’s Potential Budget Reductions
Class size – An increase of an average of 1 student per class at each school level would eliminate 193.4 teacher positions. This is in addition to the 240.0 positions cut to increase class size by an average of 1 for FY2011.
Staff Development Teachers – Reducing the 174.1 positions budgeted for elementary and secondary schools by 75.9 (43 percent) would leave 98.2 positions. Special and alternative education programs would receive a reduction of 3.5 positions.
Superintendent’s Potential Budget Reductions
Instrumental Music Teachers – A reduction of 4.0 of the 37.2 instrumental music teacher positions would require that students receive instruction in larger groups and some students may receive less support.
Counselors – A cut of 10.0 elementary and 10.0 middle school counselors would reduce the ratio of students to professionals and severely impact services to at-risk students. In FY 2011, 9.0 positions were cut from the
budget.
Superintendent’s Potential Budget Reductions
Elementary Paraeducators, Lunch Hour Aides, Parent Community Coordinators – A cut of 20.0 paraeducators, 6.0 lunch hour aides, and 2.2 parent community coordinators will reduce support at a time of significant student growth. There was a reduction of 27.0
paraeducators in FY 2011.
Instructional Data Assistant Hours – A reduction of 16.4 elementary and 4.75 middle school positions will reduce support to administrators and teachers who use
student data to drive educational decisions.
Superintendent’s Potential Budget Reductions
Media Assistants – A reduction of 23.0 elementary, 8.0 middle, and 7.5 high school positions will require a change in the current enrollment-based guidelines for allocating these positions to schools. Overall, support to students will be decreased. There were 10.5 positions cut over the last
two years.
ESOL Counselors/Staffing Ratios - A reduction of 5.0 ESOL counselors would reduce the number of positions from 11.0 to 6.0. A reduction of 9.1 teacher positions would increase the students to staff ratio by .8 for elementary schools, .5 for middle schools, and .6 for high schools. There was a
reduction of 6.0 ESOL teachers in the FY 2011 budget.
