Here is a handout from the talk at New Windsor School last night. The first page summarizes the expenditures and revenue anticipated in the proposed budget. Page two summarizes the decisions made by the Board of Ed at the various budget meetings. Numbers in parentheses are negative.
The right third of Page Two shows where the reduction of 27 positions will occur. The columns represent (approximately) the four different unions, and the rows correspond to BOE decisions. For example the Total FTE reduction in the Administrative area is 3, NTA: 4, Teaching Assistants: 7, and CSEA: 13.
At the meeting, Assistant Superintendent of Finance Pacella said that the Administrative and Teacher reductions are expected to occur through attrition (retirements), so probably wouldn't involve layoffs. For the CSEA positions, job titles are more specific, so there would not be enough flexibility to accomplish the reductions through attrition.
