But if those SDTs have tenure, doesn’t their contract ensure that they will be placed (“involuntary transfer”) in a teaching position somewhere in the county? HS SDTs are not being “fired “, right? Just relieved of the position?

For next year do people think classroom support positions are most likely to be cut? Are most tenured classroom teachers safe from cuts?

They avoided it with the ES class size *decreases*, I mean. Although I expect there were a number of MS and HS positions lost due to enrollment drops and some of those teachers had to move to elementary.

Mentioning the budget next year will be difficult does not explicitly state that: EVEN MORE teachers are being cut. The PP just interpreted something, ran with it, and tried to claim it as fact.
I agree with you, but there is definitely a clear message from both the council and BOE that more is coming next year. I’m a support staff member whose position is in play - if it’s not cut this year, I think it may be next year. I very much hope classroom and special ed positions are not cut.

Exactly. Because it didn't happen.
