Resource Allocations to Schools

At tomorrow night's regular meeting of the Board of Trustees, Administration will be presenting the report Resource Allocations to Schools - Early Spring Staffing 2011/2012 Preliminary Operating Budget for the board's approval.

An excerpt from that report follows:

Projected school based staffing changes

School based certificated staff - as a result of the elimination of small class size initiative funding for grades 4 - 6 and the net flowthrough effects to schools
(81.0) FTEs estimated

School based certificated and non certificated staff - as result of RAM allocation rate increases less than the resource allocation required to accommodate the full salary and benefit cost increases for school based staff
(243.0) FTEs estimated

Total (324.0) FTEs estimated

Please note this is in addition to the 172 positions cut in phase I of the budget process.

Once the report is approved and RAM resources are allocated to schools April 20, Principals must submit final staffing decisions to Administration by May 3. These staffing decisions will become part of the 2011/2012 Final Operating Budget that will come before the Board of Trustees at their June 14 Regular meeting for decision (Prior to that, the Preliminary Budget Report to the Board of Trustees will be made available to them May 24).
