• y64#6 <br />Initiative: 7 Teachers - Reduction in State ADM Allotment of Classroom Teachers <br />Implementation Timeline and Budget <br />2015 -2016 Amount Notes <br />7 State Allotted Regular Classroom Teachers ($410,396) This amount is based upon the average <br />teacher salary established by DPI. <br />Expected Results <br />Class sizes may be impacted as there will be slightly fewer teachers in the district; however, there will also be <br />fewer students based on the 2015 -2016 projection. OCS received an over- allotment in classroom teachers as <br />the result of a projected student ADM that exceeded the actual ADM on the 40th Day of school. Allotments to <br />schools for 2015 -2016 will based as in the past on the actual fifth month ADM of the preceding year. This may <br />result in fewer or more regular classroom teacher positions allotted than in the 2014 -2015 school year, <br />depending upon the projected change in the ADM for each school. There may be a need to freeze vacant <br />regular classroom positions for the coming year to balance the allotment numbers. There may also be a need to <br />transfer regular classroom teachers based on any change in student ADM and allotment at the school level. <br />Evidence or Reasoning for this Recommendation <br />For 2014 -2015 the Orange County Schools student ADM projection was 7,698 and the actual 401h Day ADM was <br />7,498. The projection for 2015 -2016 is 7,526, or 172 students less than 2014 -2015. The projection of 7 fewer <br />regular classroom teachers is an estimate based on allotment formulas from the state remaining the same. <br />Contact Person: Teresa Cunningham- Brown, Chief Human Resources Officer <br />17 <br />
