The Salt Lake Tribune requested the document Tuesday and, after a spokesperson declined to release it, filed a public records request for it Wednesday. The district released it Monday. District staff had provided copies to school board members at their Tuesday meeting.
Instead, in Hall’s proposal, Indian Hills was slated to lose 2.5 positions, still the most of any elementary school, and seven elementaries were scheduled to lose two positions, including Nibley Park. Hall’s proposed cut at Bryant remains in line with the district’s staffing ratios — losing one full-time teacher.
Hall told the board that with his proposed plan, the district would not have to lay off any employees. The district would not renew one-year contracts, leave unfilled positions open and use teacher retirements to shed the 42 positions outlined in his proposal. Board member Kristi Swett asked him to “go one step further” and keep two teachers at a grade level at times, even if the staffing ratio calls for one, or only slightly more than one.
