The document summarizes changes made at Gasconade C-4 Elementary school due to budget cuts. To reduce costs by $50,000, staff was reduced from 21 to 15 members and some classrooms were combined, requiring some teachers to teach multiple grades. Staff was informed of the changes at the end of the 2010-2011 school year. The changes faced initial resistance but the leadership worked to properly communicate the reasons for the changes and involve staff in the process to help overcome resistance and sustain the changes.
