Details of House Education Budget Cuts By School District

Want to know how many teaching positions are getting eliminated in your school district based on the new House budget? Go to the DPI estimates here: cuts in detail. Also included are cuts to transportation budgets, textbook budgets, K-3 teaching assistants, support personnel – you name it, it is here. And none of it is good, although it is better than the early no new revenue version.

There are some changes afoot in the conferees budget negotiations, but unless the House and Senate agree to a revenue package of the scale demanded by Governor Perdue, then expect the class size increases from grades four through 12 and the 25% reduction in K-3 teaching assistants to stick.
