Amended budget removes 29 school-level positions

What happened

The board approved an amended FY2027 budget after reduced county revenue. The plan removes 29 school-level positions and includes five-day furloughs for some staff.

Why it matters to families

School leaders have already made plans for the position changes. The minutes say no employee would lose a job because employees could move into vacancies, but school staffing will change.

The evidence

The July 9 minutes record the board's 8-1 approval. They state the 29 eliminated positions would save $2.6 million and the amended budget reflects a county revenue reduction.
