INITIAL FINDINGS

• The significant increase in the number of planned licensed positions over the
last seven years is outpacing the number of teachers the District can hire.
• Due to the budget and staffing autonomy of school leaders, planned full-time
equivalent positions include:
• Attempts to reduce class sizes and
• An increase in non-classroom licensed positions.
