At their March 23 meeting, the Maricopa Unified School District school board voted to table the proposed reduction in force of 74 district employees; 70 were certified positions.
During Wednesday’s meeting, the board will be presented with a new list that includes 60 employees, 48 of these are certified positions. The positions include teachers and district employees.
The list includes 27 elementary, 14 middle school and 4 high school positions. In the earlier proposed layoffs, the list included only one high school teacher. It is projected that the layoffs will save the school around $2.8 million.
The meeting will also highlight the salary and work schedules of employees with MUSD for the 2011-12 school year. The salaries will remain the same as 2010-11 and will be presented to the board. The 2011-12 school year will include the same number of working days as the previous year.
In addition the board will be review a proposal to provide insurance benefits to the employees of MUSD. The insurance committee, headed by Human Resources Director Tom Beckett, will be presenting a bid to the board that was voted on by the committee after a review process.
