Temple school district trustees seemed to be in agreement that campus-level professional staff, including teachers, would not be affected by a reduction in force plan.

However, district-level professional staff are being considered in an organizational restructuring plan to help save costs, in light of a looming $2.5 million deficit next year.

Trustees, during an almost three-hour workshop Monday, floated the idea of extending campus-level professional staff contracts before the district completes its reduction in force process, securing their jobs.

Although the district has the option not to renew professional staff contracts through an exigency plan it adopted in February, school district administrators say attrition will play the huge role in eliminating the deficit.
