Behind the Work: District Committees

Budgetary Steering Committee

The primary community committee is composed of stakeholders representing the diverse subgroups within the Florence Unified School District community. The Budgetary Steering Committee reviews the findings and proposals submitted by each subcommittee, evaluating which options—or combination of options—can achieve the necessary budget reductions while minimizing the impact on students’ educational experiences and family support systems.

 

4-Day School Week Committee

The 4-Day School Week Committee is dedicated to exploring the potential impacts of transitioning the district to a four-day school week. The committee is developing a proposed model and examining key considerations, including operational changes, staff compensation, and overall budgetary implications.

Building Closure Committee

The Building Closure Committee is responsible for evaluating the potential impacts of school site closures. The committee examines the financial and logistical implications of closing each facility, including student reassignment plans and the effects of those transitions on students and families. Ultimately, the committee develops a prioritized list of school sites that may be considered for closure, if necessary.

7-12 Model Committee

The 7–12 Model Committee is evaluating what the district would look like if existing high schools were restructured to serve grades 7–12. The committee is researching outcomes from other districts that have implemented this model, assessing facility capacity and constraints, and analyzing the potential benefits and challenges of such a transition.
