Present:
Brown, Hutchinson Means, Patchett, Tharp, Young
Absent:
Freebairn
Others Present:
Superintendent Jim Acklin, Deb Derby, Barb Board, Terry Sullivan,
Angela Smith
President
welcomed everyone to the public hearing.
Reduction
in Force of Employees: Superintendent Acklin feels reasonably
sure that the Title (Federal) money will be there next year.
We know it will be 10% less each year. Not as sure if Early
Childhood (State) money will be there next year. If the Board
feels they will retain the Early Childhood program even if the
state does not fund it, they should consider not RIF'ing Early
Childhood staff. Will still need to RIF one classroom aide,
a one-on-one aide, and a one-on-two aide.
Freebairn

Young read
