 Causes Staff Reductions For the past four years the district made use of One Time Only Funds from both the Montana and Federal Governments. These funds were used to finance positions instead of purchasing materials and supplies. Since these sources have been deleted and levies did not pass, the school board carefully considered a number of cost savings measures before making decisions. The 2011-2012 school year will find fewer staff working at the schools. There will be two counselors instead of three, six fewer classroom teachers, nine fewer teacher aides, no art in K-5, one less custodian, one less maintenance worker, one less administrator, and fewer funds for supplies. The Gifted and Talented Program will have limited offerings as will the Intervention Program. |
