II. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE

III. COST REDUCTION PROPOSALS

Superintendent Hall presented the Board with possible cost cutting measures to be implemented at Delcom Schools. All savings discussed are projected savings in 2011 compared to what was spent in 2009. Superintendent Hall informed the Board that as proposals have been considered, they have tried to make sure cuts will not affect individual student programs. Also, they’ve tried to make sure additional costs were not passed on to our families during these difficult economic times.

Cost cutting proposals discussed by Superintendent Hall included the following items: staff reductions and/or reassignments for all employee groups including Administrative, Certified, Classified and Extra Curricular employees, transferring some salaries where appropriate out of the general fund to different funds within the budget, relocation of the Delta Learning Center, cancellation of the Youth Opportunity Center Contract or considering the possibility of different funding, end the energy education contract and eliminate the energy educator position, cancel the Delta Tip Line, and eliminate the purchasing and cleaning of uniforms for employee groups currently receiving this service. Other considerations were discussed but are not being proposed at this time.

A discussion followed with the Board regarding proposals and questions from the Board on the various options. Also discussed were anticipated enrollment numbers and class sizes at the various elementary buildings. The Board decided the cost reduction proposals would be brought to the March 16^th meeting for a vote.
