▪ Three teaching positions have been eliminated due to low enrollment, starting in 2015 - 2016. ▪ Current Montandon class size is impacted due to reduction of staff. ▪ Lowest class sizes prior to reduction of staff :
▪ Kindergarten, First Grade & Second Grade Maximum of 11, 12 or 13 students per class
▪ If Montandon is closed, class sizes would adjust as equalized based on the number of sections in each grade.

If Montandon students are moved to Baugher all
K-5 classrooms would be housed in regular, full- size classrooms.
Baugher Elementary School would still have
minimallythree unoccupied full-size classrooms.
Baugher Elementary would still have four
unoccupied large group areas allowing for more classroom space.
PDE recognizes that Baugher Elementary was
built to house 900 students.
SLIDE 12 4 more buses will travel to Baugher Eliminate 1 van An additional 10 – 15 minutes of travel for some
Montandon students would occur
Current feasibility study is reviewing arrival
and dismissal circulationof cars, buses and vans
Consideration is being given to requesting a
change in the traffic pattern exiting

Teacher-mentor relationships are impacted Building-wide systems cannot be created (i.e. SAP,
SWPB, Safe Crisis Teams, Threat Assessment Teams)
Grade level teams are nonexistent The total per pupil budget is negligible $21, 780
(i.e. library, nurse, guidance, principal, secretary, instruction, supplies, communication, books, furniture)
Shared building principal position Minimal diversity within the school
SLIDE 19
There is no recommendation to furlough any
Montandon teaching staff; all staff would move to Baugher.
The school district has made professional staff
reductions over the last 8 years to be in alignment with student enrollment and budget.
All of these reductions have been done through
natural attrition.
Support staff furlough would be a Board
consideration
