No Jobs Next Year For 42 School Employees


At its regularly scheduled meeting on Tuesday, April 20, the Accomack County School Board voted to accept the Budget Reduction Plan which became necessary when the Commonwealth of Virginia cut $3.1 million in operating revenues from the School Boards Budget, according to a statement from Accomack County Public Schools.

Even with this additional appropriation, fifty-one positions will be eliminated from the School Boards 2010-2011 Operating Budget. Three of the positions are administrative positions, seven are instructional positions and forty-one are support positions. Retirements will cover six of the positions cut and three employees are eligible to transfer into required positions which will be vacant next year.

Forty-two employees will not be offered positions with the school division next year unless additional employees retire in the departments being reduced.

The Accomack County Board of Supervisors increased the school divisions budget by $730,000.
