What cuts do you know of at specific schools?

[Anonymous]

Many of the PEP program positions were cut across the system.

Can we limit the conversation in this thread to the actual topic? I refresh this thread to see what schools cuts were made at, not to debate cost/spending per student. Start a new thread for that.

+1. Just stick to the topic.

There has been no email from our elementary school principal related to cutting staff or classroom, so does that mean no cut?

I was talking to friends who work at Montgomery Knolls, Forest Knolls and Flora singer. Nobody had heard anything about cuts but we were expecting bigger class sizes next year

Consider the difference between cutting staff (letting a teacher go involuntarily) and cutting budget. Principals have been asked to reduce full-time-equivalent numbers based on a lower allocation for personnel based on larger maximum class sizes. Most are doing so by not filling open positions, including some that may have just been vacated by a retiring/moving teacher. Communities, there, will be less aware of the cuts because they won't be attached to a name being forced to leave the school, though there may be some who then seek different positions elsewhere based either on additional burden from the re-jiggering or on inability to cobble together a full-time status from the various part-time allocations. The effects may still be noted in the classroom/facility come the school year.
