How many people might lose their jobs?
Dependent on how the federal dollars pan out, the potential federal stimulus package, county funding, how the governor allocates future cuts, the rate of retirements, and very importantly, how well our request comes out before the House and Senate in the upcoming biennial budget process. This plan (as presented) calls for a minimum of 180 educator FTEs, if the Governor’s budget goes through as proposed now (an additional $3.5 million state reduction for OSUE). We will have more than 180 educator FTEs if we get more state funding.
