Superintendent estimates just 12 District Employees Will Lose Jobs

Posted on March 23, 2009 by John Bailey

WPCNR SCHOOL DAYS. By John F. Bailey. March 23, 2009: Superintendent of Schools Timothy Connors told WPCNR today that he expects as this time 12 current employees will lose their jobs of the 51 positions being elimated to get the school budget for 2009-10 down to $185.9 Million. He said most of the positions affected will not be filled due to attrition, people leaving, going back to school, or retiring.

As of Monday afternoon, the Superintendent said 4 Clerical positions would eliminated, 20 Teaching Assistants, 3 Security Guards, and 20 Certified Positions (which he defined as any position requiring state certification, such as social workers, or teachers), and 4 Administrators. He declined to identify the Administrators who are currently employed. He estimated that about 12 persons total would actually lose jobs.

Asked if the district since it has determined these jobs did not have to be filled and could be eliminated whether the positions were not needed to begin with, Connors said, “They are needed. We are continuing at this time to minimize the impact (of such cuts) on the quality of education on the school district.”

He said the effort is continuing. He also said he urged persons currently employed in the district contemplating retirement or leaving the district for any reason to advise the administration so jobs could be saved now.
