Toronto District School Board trustees cut over 300 jobs as they struggled to eliminate a $16.5-million deficit and balance their budget.
After hours of debate, 98 elementary school teaching positions were cut as well as 116 secondary school positions.
Cuts to special education included 22 elementary teaching positions and 14 secondary school teaching positions. Trustees originally voted to maintain all 33 support staff positions, but that number was later changed to 10 saved, with 23 positions eliminated.
English as a Second Language were also on the chopping block, with 59 elementary and 34 secondary positions cut. (more...)
Unions still blaming Harris:
An idea:
IF #TDSB cut unfunded "alternative schools" & #GBVP there'd be no need for staff cuts this yr. Point this out to your union exec #ETT #OSSTF
