West Jordan » Jordan School District likely will shrink by nearly 200 employees next year. But its class sizes and tax rates won't grow.
And many students attending year-round elementary schools will get next summer off.
On Tuesday, Superintendent Barry Newbold recommended the school board plug a $17.2 million budget hole by cutting 190 full-time positions and trimming some programs. The district expects to lose additional employees through attrition.
The Jordan board plans to hold a public hearing and adopt the final budget on June 8. But the board expressed initial support for Newbold's proposed budget, directing the district to begin distributing notices to employees whose positions will be eliminated.
All employees will be notified by May 30. The Salt Lake Tribune
