[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where do you see 220 MS teachers being cut, I don’t see that on the linked document. Can anyone verify this? [/quote]

I also don’t see any MS teachers on the list.[/quote]

It's on page 4. Why middle school is my question...we barely have enough staff as it is right now. If they are pre-cutting electives for 2027's math disaster, people need to start getting angry. We are just gutting education at this point. People making the decisions aren't the ones in classrooms. Cutting electives in middle school is the worst idea-we need more electives, not less. So many kids have stated that their favorite elective whether it be band, dance, music,tech, or theatre is the ONLY reason they go to school. I'm a counselor not a teacher, but from what I see/hear from students on a daily basis, this would absolutely negatively affect them. This is all for 15 additional minutes of math a day, which the state apparently thinks is super easy to implement without giving a second thought to how it would drastically alter scheduling for middle schools/hs and thus,cutting arts programs and electives for those 15 minutes of math that kids are probably already tuned out because their attention spans won't allow for it. Disgraceful. [/quote]

They are only cutting electives for the rich schools.  The rest of our schools never had much in the first place.  But, what little we do have is getting cut.  [/quote]
