They can't seem to get the number rightThey first said they would cut 200 jobs, then came 259 and now its 500 plus jobs.
The Mobile County School System has proposed to cut $36 million dollars worth of jobs in the upcoming school year. Many of the programs that have garnered the system local and national attention, including the transformation-schools plan, would be significantly cut. Superintendent Roy Nichols said he plans to go to Tuesday's school board meeting with lists of names of employees who will not be invited back next year or will be transferred to other positions. The school system has proposed to cut non-tenure and central office positions. If the proposal is approved by the school board, jobs to be lost include 173.5 classroom teachers, 86 special-education teachers, 107.5 special education aides and 32.5 assistant principals.
What’s happen to all this money and why the school system of Mobile County, Alabama the largest system in the State keep coming up with these budget shortages? Where is the citizen tax dollars going? We I have one simple answer to both of those questions, and that is the Board and the system officials keep mismanaging the citizens tax dollars and spending like crazy. They are not managing the money where it needs to be managed, instead spending the money on unneeded items of the annual budget.
