HFCS To Drop Teachers For Next Fall
by Alex Brooks
The Hoosick Falls School Board meeting March 18 was mostly focused on the budget for 2010-11, which needs to be completed and adopted in a month.
The latest budget offered by the Administration has no increase in the local tax levy, despite an anticipated drop in State aid of $485,000 and the usual cost increases.
To accomplish this, the plan is to lay off a Reading teacher and a Home and Careers teacher, and to lay off ten Teaching Assistants. This is in addition to the reduction in staff from not replacing 3 teachers who retired, and two who resigned.
