Budget Advisory Team Recommendations
Budget Advisory Team Recommendation 4/8/9
With significant funding reductions from the state of Washington anticipated, the Budget Advisory Team has comprehensively reviewed the Woodland Public Schools general-fund budget. Based upon this review several options that may be considered by the board have been developed. This has been a very difficult process for all involved; difficult because, with few exceptions, these adjustments will have an impact on students and families in our community. Some options were generated that, upon review, were not listed, because the savings were insignificant relative to the negative impact of the options.
The team reviewed and evaluated each option. The members of the team scored each option. This allowed the team to rank order these recommendations. Following the ranking of the options the team divided the list into three tiers. These tiers were based in large part on the teams understanding of the costs of the impacts relative to their expected savings. Tier I cuts are, in the consensus of the team, those which should be considered first. Tier II cuts should be considered second, and Tier III should be last considerations.
It is expected that, at the end of the process, the Board will adopt a reduced education program that reflects many of the ideas listed below. It is also expected that many of the ideas will not be adopted as-is. They may well be modified. Other options may be considered as well.
