SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS
Approve Summer Four-Day Work Week For All Employees
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
For summer 2011 (beginning the week of June 13 and ending August 5), we are recommending a four-day, ten-hour work week, with a districtwide shutdown on Fridays.  Exceptions:

  • August 5 ending date may be adjusted upon approval of the 2011-2012 student calendar
  • The four-day work week after the paid July 4 holiday will be Tuesday-Friday, eight-hour days
  • Sites required to operate 24/7, i.e. Security, will not be impacted by the four-day work week

Substantial financial savings in areas such as Transportation, Student Nutrition, and Utilities were realized with the implementation of four-day work weeks during summer 2010.
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES
• Align financial resources to support the district’s strategic goals
FINANCIAL IMPACT (Budgeted:  No)

An approximate savings of $1,844,595.

  • Extended School Year Transportation:  $440,533
  • Student Nutrition Services:  $654,062
  • Districtwide Utilities:  $750,000
