Fruitvale to notify about 21 employees
The Fruitvale School District board Tuesday unanimously approved measures to notify about 21 employees they may not have jobs next year: six first-year elementary teachers and 15 classified positions. Their issues stem from declining enrollment more so than budget cuts, according to Superintendent Carl Olsen. Average daily attendance in the district dropped by 90 students this year to 3,030 and is expected to drop another 75 next year. They are back to the enrollment figures they saw four years ago. To stop the hemmorhaging, the district may consider campaigns to entice commercial employees who work within the district boundaries but live elsewhere to enroll their children in Fruitvale schools, Olsen said. Board member Kevin Burton said he decided to turn down the district health insurance package, which he estimated the district pays about $13,000 annually. I'm not sure which of the other members utilize this benefit. 2 comments from 2 users

State's tightening their budget, and there are mandatory advance warnings that districts have to give out if they're even thinking of layoffs. They don't have to go through with the cutbacks if funding is found, but they can't cut back if they haven't given warning.
