A Little Analysis of the Suggested Cuts
I spent time on Tuesday night crawling through the suggested cuts, here's what I found:
- Class Sizes will increase across the county. The Superintendent says that this will result in mixed-grade classes at some schools.
- Two thirds of the positions cut are teachers or teaching assistants
- The cost of living increase was eliminated, cutting the requested pay increase in half
- 50% of the cuts are salary cuts and elimination of teaching positions
- 50% of new teachering positions planned for next year were cut
- The average salary of a cut position is under $50K
I already have a list of changes I want to see to this proposal. I will wait until after tonight's public input session before finalizing that list, and I will write more about those in the coming days.
