Agenda Item Content
The state of California is facing an unprecedented budget crisis that is impacting all California school districts. The adopted state budget creates a $3.9 million revenue shortfall for the district in 2009-2010. This revenue shortfall does not reflect the $1.3 million in lost revenue due to declining enrollment. Since personnel costs comprise approximately 85% of the district budget, personnel layoffs are necessary to address the budget deficit. Certificated employees were notified on March 10 and 11. Final notification must occur by May 15.

Resolution No. 08-09-11 is necessary due to the projected loss of state funding for 2008-2009 and 2009-2010, projected declining enrollment, the transition of student enrollment in specific courses, teacher certification requirements, and projected operating expenses.

Resolution No. 08-09-11 in accordance with Education Code 44949 and 44955 reduces the number of certificated employees for the 2009-2010 school year due to a reduction of Particular Kinds of Services (PKS). The Governing Board reviewed, but did not take action on Resolution No. 08-09-11 on February 4. The Governing Board took final action on Resolution No. 08-09-11 on February 18. Due to budget adjustments, augmentations, and personnel actions, the Governing Board revised Resolution No. 08-09-11 on March 4. As a result of additional personnel actions, staff recommends further revisions to Resolution No. 08-09-11.

The adjusted Resolution No. 08-09-11 reduces certificated employees by 18.4 full-time teacher equivalents (FTEs) as follows:
