District news
2026-27 budget cuts about 7 teaching jobs and 16 aide and assistant jobs
What happened
The adopted budget plan lists 6.7 teaching positions cut because of lower enrollment and program changes. It also cuts 7 full-time teaching assistants and 9 full-time special education aides (6 of those were vacant). 27 teachers are leaving and 14 will be replaced.
Why it matters to families
The district says class sizes should change little, but fewer adults will be in some classrooms and programs.
