What happened

In April and May 2026 the board issued preliminary and then final non-renewal notices to three teachers (two special education, one business education). The superintendent later reported $358,740 in yearly cost reductions heading into 2026-27 from restructuring, rightsizing positions and efficiency work.

Why it matters to families

Fewer staff can mean larger classes and fewer services, especially in special education.

The evidence

The May 12 minutes record motions approving final non-renewal of two special education teacher contracts and a business education teacher contract. The October 2026 superintendent report states the $358,740 in annual operational cost reductions.
