- The district is facing a $1.2 million reduction in federal Title I funding. This shortfall is projected to result in the loss of 25 positions. While the administration plans to use local resources to protect class sizes, the impact on academic intervention is a major concern.
- Cost-cutting measures are also hitting families directly: The district announced it will no longer provide busing for preschool students. This is a direct service reduction aimed at lowering transportation expenditures.
- Public input remains a point of tension. During the meeting, a resident raised critical safety concerns regarding traffic and fatalities on Eola Road, but was unable to receive a response from the Board before their time expired.
- Stay informed on how these budget shifts and service changes will impact your student. We will continue to track the district's plan to manage these Title I cuts.
