The ax has fallen on the final two groups of Reading School District employees facing layoffs as a result of the district’s budget crunch.
Eighteen more employees have received furlough notices: 12 security guards and six members of the Teamsters union, Karen B. Gokay, director of human resources, confirmed Tuesday.
The cuts are part of an effort to close a more than $40 million shortfall in the district’s $220 million 2012-13 budget.
The district announced that positions would be cut when the school board passed its tentative final budget last month.
