WHAT HAPPENS NOW?
With the failure of the levy, school officials said the district will move forward with implementing the following recommended staff, program, and service reductions beginning with the 2024-2025 school year:
- Elimination of five teaching positions at the middle schools
- Elimination of four and one-half teaching positions at the freshman and high school campus
- Elimination of three positions in the curriculum and instruction department
- Elimination of one administrative position
- Reduction of transportation to state minimums, which would eliminate transportation services for general education students in grades 9 and 10, including non-public and community schools. Only those students whose residence is more than two miles from their school, including non-public and community schools, are eligible for transportation regardless of sitters, daycares, etc.
The district will explore the potential to declare transportation to certain non-public and community schools impractical, school officials said.
