He said that this can create a problem as SCSD#2 now has more staff than the model shows for a school. But, Stults emphasized, SCSD#2 is not going to start reducing their teaching staff, as the model does give some districts the opportunity to make decisions based on what is best for their districts.

In other business, several polices were approved on first and second readings, including a policy on sexual harassment and one on the use of social media platforms.
