Board cuts 15 teaching jobs and 2 assistant principal jobs

What happened

In April 2026 the board voted to cut jobs to save money, starting August 14, 2026. It cut 15 teaching jobs: nine K-8 teachers, a high school math teacher, a primary librarian and four career-tech teachers (business, cosmetology, electronics and agriculture). It also cut two assistant principals, a family liaison, a special-education secretary, a psychology assistant and a wellness and facilities manager. Two empty maintenance and groundskeeper jobs will not be filled.

Why it matters to families

Fewer teachers can mean larger classes and fewer course choices, including career classes at the high school. The superintendent said about 35 jobs have gone unfilled or been cut over the past year.

The evidence

The April 8, 2026 minutes contain two reduction-in-force resolutions listing each abolished position, both made 'for financial reasons.' The superintendent's report says about 35 jobs have been cut or left unfilled. On April 22 the board suspended eight teacher contracts and one non-teaching contract.
