Demographics • 290 students, 9-12 • 65-85 students per grade level • Enrollment increase of several students per year (5-8) • Block scheduling • 3 sections of 20-28 students for major subject area classes (e.g. English I) • Vocational, ag, art, vocal/music, FACS, computer/photography electives and various core subject electives

  3. Years 2-4 • Year 2: Surplus of $4,444. - Beefed-up supplies budget and PD • Year 3: $2256 deficit - Supplies budget comes back down to earth • Year 4: Surplus of $6812 - Return of the supplies budget and leeway for PD

  4. Year 5 Deficit of $21,760 Must cut half-time position What do you cut? • Half-time, “retired” Algebra 1 instructor • Half-time FACS teacher, near retirement (hope she retires) • Vocal teacher (shared with middle school) • Art teacher (shared with middle school) • Half-time, “retired” chemistry and advanced chemistry teacher • Quarter-time teaching position for Athletic Director (teaches history electives) (cut supplies $10,000)

  5. Answer Cut FACS half-time position • Cutting math teacher puts too much strain on math teachers already overburdened with class sizes and preps from steady enrollment increases • FACS (and FCCLA) has far less enrollment and enthusiasm than vocational, ag, vocal, and art classes • FACS info can and SHOULD be taught in the home, whereas other subjects cannot
