Some items that caught my attention:
- Reduce budget by $1.8 million by moving high school to a block schedule and increasing class size to 30 students (cuts 36 teachers)
- Eliminate one athletic coordinator at each high school, reducing budget by $150,000
- Move middle school to a six period day and have a teacher to student ration of 1:28, eliminating 25 teachers and reducing budget by $1.25 million
- Eliminate 10 elementary school teachers and increase class size at all grades, reducing budget by $500,000
- Outsource grounds and custodial staff, for a budget reduction of $1.5 million
- Eliminate assistant directors of human resources and special education, reducing budget by $150,00
- Eliminate one assistant superintendent position, reducing budget by $110,000
- Eliminate multiple technology positions
Possible sources of new revenue: increase average daily attendance, increase enrollment in career and technology education programs, operate an after school childcare program at elementary schools.
The full list is worth a look, to get an idea of how every school district in Texas is looking at drastically reducing their budget.
