Quick notes: school job cuts

This has been a tough week for Kentucky educators as districts announce staffing plans for the coming year. Cuts noted by the KSBA headline service include:

• Thirty-two teaching slots in Madison County.
• Eighteen teaching positions in Scott County.
• Six teaching positions and three counseling slots in Campbell County, plus plans to replace seven librarians with one itinerant library specialist and a team of paraprofessionals.
• Eleven teaching positions in Laurel County.

Declining local revenue, preparation for possible state cuts, and a lack of information about how federal fiscal stabilization money will work all contribute to this wave of reductions.
