School Board to Vote on More Layoffs

Authorization to lay off 21.8 full-time-equivalent classified positions will come to a vote at the Pleasanton Unified School District Board of Trustees regular meeting Tuesday night. 

The trustees are slated to vote whether to pass a resolution to reduce or eliminate the classified positions effective June 30.

Here is an outline of the positions that will be reduced or eliminated if the board approves the resolution:

Once approved, the resolution allows Superintendent Parvin Ahmadi to authorize and issue layoff notifications to the affected employees.

Classified employees must be given notification of layoff no later than 45 days before the effective date, according to the Education Code of the state of California.

In March, district officials sent to 67 certified staff employees. The cuts were a result of a  to the district's 2011-12 school year budget, which the board approved in February.

The board also will be asked to vote to adopt inflationary fee increases for its Gift Agreements and amended agreement regarding school facilities, as recommended by Luz Cazares, assistant superintendent of business services.

Trustees will hear a report from Cazares that will discuss budget challenges and solutions for the current school year.

The meeting will begin at 7 p.m. at the district office, 4665 Bernal Ave.
