The Superintendent’s FY 2025 Proposed Operating Budget includes $46.6 million in reductions to existing services and a reduction of 347.85 existing positions. These proposed reductions help offset some of the cost increases related to the budget additions and put forward a County funding request that is consistent with last year’s new funding amount of $47 million. The reductions fall into two major areas:
- Programmatic School-Based reductions directly affect school instruction and operation and total $24.6 million and 245.80 existing positions.
- Programmatic Non-School-Based reductions impact Central Office services and systemwide costs that support students, staff, and the operation of schools and total approximately $22.0 million and 102.05 existing positions.
To see a breakdown of the proposed reductions, refer to the Budget Reductions under the Factors Influencing and Summary of the Budget section in the Superintendent’s FY 2025 Proposed Operating Budget book.
