Hello markyc:
As the article notes, the school committee is looking to cut 71 teaching positions because of school consolidation. Even using a conservative estimate of $100,000 per teacher, that's $7.1 million -- and even if half of those layoffs actually take effect, that's still nearly half of the $8.1 million increase proposed by the school board.
More funding is not the answer. Allowing the school committee to follow through on its contractually-protected abilities to reduce staffing to be more aligned to the actual student population is.
