Discussion of Suggested Program Adjustments for 2008-09
Following an overview of proposed program adjustments for 2008-09 by Dr. Vita, Ms. Longobucco presented proposed enhancements of the pre-kindergarten program. Mr. Johnson explained a wide range of program improvements at the middle and high school levels including scheduling, program of studies, course requirements, and graduation requirements.
Discussion of Program Related Personnel Matters for 2008-09
Dr. Vita explained the potential personnel implications of the program improvements and adjustments noted. He further indicated that a definitive description of these changes would not be possible until students completed course selections and final scheduling was assessed. However, it is anticipated that there may be a reduction of several certified and non-certified positions for 2008-09. It is not projected there will be any need for a reduction-in-force due to the fact there may be several vacancies to be filled.
