Board of Education Denies Interdistrict Transfers in the Elementary District
The board of education decided at last night’s board meeting to deny interdistrict transfers in the Santa Barbara Elementary School District, beginning fall 2009, except for 2009-10 sixth-grade students who are currently enrolled as interdistrict transfer students, their siblings who are currently enrolled in the elementary district (until the end of the 2009-10 school year), and children of district employees.
It is currently projected that the change would transition the elementary district into basic aid status. The move will also require about nine teacher layoffs, far fewer than would be required to bring a similar amount of money to the elementary district through a dramatic increase in K-3 class sizes alone. However, a small class size increase in K-3 classes may still be necessitated.
