We get a little tease in today’s N&R write-up of last night’s Guillford County Board of Education meeting:
About 30 teachers attended Tuesday night’s school board meeting to voice disappointment over proposed job cuts.
The teachers asked the board to reconsider the cuts and instead get rid of inept employees and programs that aren’t working.
“I’m forced to return this proposed plan to the board with an incomplete grade,” said Erin Velzeboer, a history teacher at Greensboro College Middle College. Her words were met with stifled laughs and frantic hand waving as teachers showed their support.
I’ll out on a limb and assuming that when teachers talk about ‘inept employees,’ they’re not talking about other teachers, so they have to be talking about —generally speaking— miscellaneous staff, though it’s never mentioned in the article. Superintendent Mo Green said last night he plans to cut the central office budget by 13 percent, an increase over last week’s report stating central office cuts would be 3 percent.
Here’s JLF’s Terry Stoops talking about the general top-heaviness of North Carolina school systems:
