LJISD could see millions in personnel savings
LA JOYA — A staffing audit that revealed a surplus of personnel will guide much of the La Joya school district’s cost-cutting measures over the next three years, administrators told the school board this week.
In the board’s third budget workshop — with several more to come prior to final budget approval in August — school officials proposed reducing the number of registered nurses and elementary school coaches, increasing some class sizes and requiring all faculty to carry a bit more weight.
“This is a huge project,” said Adriana Villarreal, assistant superintendent for human resources. “It’s all of us working together. Everyone needs to do their part.”
She estimated the district could save nearly $7 million by lifting six suggestions from a Texas Association of School Boards, or TASB, staffing audit, with more implementation to come in future years.
But the staffing changes won’t help the district absorb a potential 5 percent state funding reduction next year, Superintendent Alda Benavides said. She added that the board already has trimmed $7.1 million from the current budget.
“We still need to find $4 million, possibly more,” Benavides said. “We want to go a little bit over to be safe.
“Most of that will come from not hiring any extra teachers and keeping a real tight lead on any new teachers,” she said.
Still, state lawmakers also appear ready to cut another $5 million, about 1.5 percent, in 2012, so pruning overstaffed departments may help soften the second blow.
Villarreal’s proposals included:
>> Slashing 41 non-campus clerical support positions.
>> Replacing most registered nurses with cheaper licensed vocational nurses.
>> Hiring instructional assistants rather than costlier teachers to monitor in-school suspension.
>> Eliminating one of two elementary coaches.
Fueled mostly by attrition, those four measures alone could save nearly $3.1 million, Villarreal said.
To reassign some of the 41 clerks — and have coaches and elective teachers pick up more classes — HR will urge them to invest their own money into additional certification programs.
“What are we going to do for incentives to encourage them to get second certification?” asked Board President Irene Garcia.
“They get to keep their jobs,” Villarreal answered.
