City Schools May Cut Teacher Positions
In order to balance its proposed overall $58.4 million budget, Klamath Falls City Schools is considering eliminating three teaching positions due to a decrease of 67 students in district enrollment this year.
In a budget proposal message to school board and budget committee members on Monday, Klamath Falls City School Superintendent Paul Hillyer emphasized the eliminations would not likely mean layoffs but positions wouldn’t be filled after at least three teachers retire or move out of the district.
