Pleasanton Unified School District <br /> Reductions Actions to Address Financial Challenges <br /> Eliminate District Support for High School Graduations and Middle School <br /> Promotions $23,000 <br /> The District currently allocates $10K to each high school to support the <br /> graduation ceremony and the District supports the middle school promotion <br /> ceremonies by renting chairs (annual cost $3K). <br /> Reduce Supplemental Remediation Hours Grades 1 8 $45,000 <br /> The after school remediation program funding level was reduced from <br /> approximately $116,000 in 2008 -09 to $45,000 in 2009 -10. This <br /> recommendation would be to pull the remaining funds of $45,000 to support <br /> the General Fund. These services were provided before and after school. <br /> Reading support, through additional sections for Language! Program, was <br /> reduced for the 2009 -10 school year at all middle and high schools. <br /> Eliminate District Support for Extra Curricular Activities $70,000 <br /> An alternative funding source will need to be found for such items as <br /> equipment repair, uniform cleaning, helmet and shoulder pad refurbishment, <br /> stadium and gym lighting, pool heating and maintenance, District van use, <br /> grounds maintenance, and custodial services. <br /> Reduce District Office Professional Services $72,000 <br /> We have identified $25K in reductions from a variety of contracts including <br /> security and business service shredding. We are working to identify an <br /> additional $47K in reductions in professional service contracts. <br /> Eliminate the Elementary Vice Principal Position $120,000 <br /> Eliminate the one remaining elementary vice principal position. This would <br /> create a student to administrator ratio at the elementary level of between one <br /> administrator per 625 students to one per 725 students. <br /> Reduce School Site Discretionary Funds $150,000 <br /> This action would provide $125K ($20.37 per pupil) for the elementary <br /> schools, $109K ($30.56 per pupil) for the middle schools, and $224K ($44.00 <br /> per pupil) for the high schools. This compares to $207K for the elementary <br /> schools in 2008 -09, $180K for the middle schools in 2008 -09, and $378K for <br /> the high schools in 2008 -09. In addition, $308,000 in carryover funds were <br /> pulled back to the District to support the General Fund for FY 09/10. <br /> February 23, 2010 Board Meeting <br />
