Due to a drop in student enrollment, the Edmonds School District is working to find jobs for dozens of displaced teachers or risk issuing them pink slips by mid-May.
Since March 2020, the district has seen an enrollment decrease of 173 FTE students. At the Edmonds School Board of Directors’ April 27 business meeting, staff explained that the decline in student enrollment has left the district with 47.02 FTE (full-time equivalent) employees at risk of being displaced. However, with 50.3 FTE vacancies to fill, Human Resources Director Debby Carter said staff are optimistic they will not have to resort to layoffs.
With Alexandria City Public Schools decreasing distancing to three feet in classrooms on Monday and students with disabilities set to return for four days of in-person learning in May, school staff outlined the much-anticipated summer learning plan during the School Board meeting on April 22.
Running from July 6 to July 30, the summer session will involve four days of learning and will be available for all students, with specific priority groups of students targeted for the program. After the four-week summer session, there will be an entirely virtual two-week session from Aug. 2 to 12 to provide additional targeted support for students.
