"As you can see, we will have made far more drastic cuts than those that Mr. McHenry proposed to save Vice-Principals. The allegation that we treated him unfairly is baseless as is the allegation that we have not cut at the Dent Center." - MDUSD Trustee Paul Strange of the cuts taking place.

Click HERE for a comprehensive list, but here are the highlights posted by Paul Strange....

"Here is the list of 16 Directors and Asst. Directors the board was cutting from on January 27, 2009:
1. Assistant Director Curriculum
2. Assistant Director Student Services
3. Director Adult Ed
4. Director Alternative Ed.
5. Director Curriculum
6. Director Certificated Personnel
7. Director, Classified Personnel
8. Director Student Services
9. Director Fiscal
10. Director M & O
11. Director Purchasing
12. Director Technology Support
13. Director Technology & Information Services
14. Director of Development
15. Director Technology Application
16. Director Food Services

Of these 16, after tonight (assuming the board approves the cuts) we will have cut four of the positions from the general fund:

1. Assistant Director Student Services
2. Director Alternative Education
3. Director M & O
4. Director of Technology Application

As alternatives to cutting other positions we will have made the following personnel cuts at the district office:

1. Personnel Coordinator (as alternative to the Classified and Certificated Directors)
2. Supervisor of Technology and Customer Support (as alternative to Directors of Technology, and in addition to Director of Technology Application)
3. Reduce Director of Curriculum by 20%.
4. Reduce Administrative Legal Services budget by $150,000

As you can see, we will have made far more cuts to the general fund than we originally directed Mr. McHenry to do. Mr. McHenry’s recommendations were far less than what we have completed. Mr. McHenry proposed two alternatives:

1. Personnel Coordinator
2. Director of M & O
3. Supervisor, Technology and Customer Service
4. Assistant Director Student Services
5. Curriculum Specials ELD
6. Director of Alternative Ed"
