*District plans to hire back workers with measure money*

Measure S, which was approved by city voters last night by the thinnest of margins, is expected to generate roughly $6.5 million annually for the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District.

With the newly acquired funds, district officials are expected to rehire many of the more than 200 teachers and workers who were issued pink slips earlier this year.

The district in March issued a “road map” to financial recovery from its $13.7 million shortfall in funding. If it sticks to it, the following positions will be reinstated in the following “bundles.”

The first group costs $6.3 million and includes:

• Twenty-one elementary teachers, two elementary assistant principals, one elementary principal, 20 middle school teachers, 25 high school teachers, two nurses, six and two-thirds elementary music teachers, five and one-fifth music aides and accompanists, one fine arts coordinator, four groundskeepers, four administrative assistants, two fiscal service workers, two personnel positions, one career center specialist and five elementary librarians.

The district has also requested additional funding from the cities of Santa Monica and Malibu. Depending on how much of that money comes through, officials said in March that some or all of the jobs in the second group will be reinstated.

The second bundle costs $3.5 million and includes:

• Two administrative positions, three and one-fifth nurses, four elementary librarians, one and two-fifths middle school librarians, two high school librarians, 10 and nine-tenths P.E. aides, one P.E. coordinator, three computer lab technicians, 1 and nine-tenths classroom aides, 12 groundskeepers, 11 administrative assistants, four fiscal services positions, two personnel positions, two special assignments staff positions, one personnel position, one fiscal services supervisor, one textbook coordinator and one-quarter of a position in the superintendent’s office.

Positions in the third bundle will be reinstated as funds become available. They are:

• One educational services position, one classified personnel director, seven and one-third athletic support staff positions, three groundskeepers, three administrative positions, two purchasing positions, a part-time cafeteria position and 24 special service contracts for independent contractors.
