CARBONDALE, PA – Several Carbondale Area teachers aired concerns about the elimination of 11 teaching positions at a special work session held Saturday morning.
The school board will vote to approve the $21 million budget for 2012-13 on June 20. The budget does not contain a tax increase, but school district officials expect to save about $600,000 by not replacing 11 teachers retiring this year, according to business manager David Cerra.
But the eliminated positions could also lead to larger class sizes and fewer elective options, teachers who attended Saturday’s work session said.
