Agenda items 12-14 for the May 5, 2010 Board Meeting deal with teacher layoffs.
At DMUSD in previous years when preliminary pink slips were issued on March 15, they were rescinded by the May 15 deadline, but at tonight's meeting, permanent layoff notices will be issued for 12 classroom teachers and 3 ESC teachers.
The number of positions being eliminated has been reduced from what was determined originally in February prior to the March 15 notices going out. The table below shows the original reductions and the amended reductions.
| Services to be reduced | Original Reduction | Amended Reduction |
|---|---|---|
| Music Teaching | 6.6 FTE | 1.8 FTE |
| Art Teaching | 7.0 FTE | 0.5 FTE |
| Science Teaching | 2.2 FTE | 0.4 FTE |
| Physical Education Teaching | 6.0 FTE | 0.2 FTE |
| Technology Teaching | 3.2 FTE | 0 FTE |
| Spanish Teaching | 0.5 FTE | 0.5 FTE |
| Classroom Teachers K-6 | 22.0 FTE | 12.0 FTE |
| Coordinator of State and Federal Projects | 1.0 FTE | 1.0 FTE |
The hope is that additional pink slips can be rescinded before classes resume again in August. Per correspondence received from an Ashley Falls teacher, DMUSD has recently contacted DMCTA requesting to re-open negotiations on class size increases for the 2010-2011 school year. An increase in class size would result in fewer pink slips being rescinded.
The teachers/district staff listed below are scheduled to receive permanent pink slips tonight.
