Enrollment and staffing challenges cannot be addressed in isolation, and involve collaborative partnerships between the human resources and business services departments. Before the corona virus pandemic hit, more than half of all local educational agencies struggled with declining enrollment. Additionally, the slowdown of the cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) for revenue increases in the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) had already begun. While the hold harmless on this year’s LCFF revenues from the state and the allocation of the COVID-19 Response Funds are significant, most LEAs, if not all, are spending more than what they had budgeted in order to provide distance learning and meals to students while also managing the reopening of schools.
Growing enrollment from local residential development projects may not entirely come to fruition. Responding to student mobility and the resulting enrollment fluctuations requires accurate enrollment projections and sound staffing practices. With too many unknowns to list, there is one thing that is certain: LEAs will be required to vigorously address enrollment projections and staffing allocations in order to remain solvent in multiyear projections.
This new two-part webinar series will help business office and human resources professionals identify and address enrollment trends, determine the fiscal impacts of attendance, accurately forecast staffing needs, and discuss what to do when staffing reductions are necessary. The sessions will provide attendees with tools to analyze enrollment data utilizing state reporting information, develop and manage staffing ratios, manage position control, implement layoff procedures, and structure communication practices that will strengthen the partnership between the business services and human resources departments.
