Over 100 staffers were part of a slate of reductions passed in a split 4-3 vote at Cincinnati Public Schools' board meeting June 22. The cuts are made up of 81 central office positions, 12 social workers, 10 assistant principals and eight counselors – all made in an attempt to make up for a $58.6 million deficit. Five furlough days for administrators and teachers totaling $7.5 million in savings, district Treasurer Mike Gustin estimated, were also approved. The reduction of social services could hit hard in a district that's seen a nearly doubled population of homeless students and has one of the highest rates of chronically absent students in the state. Rounding out the initial set of cuts is a 10% reduction in nonpersonnel school items like classroom supplies and the elimination of the district's International Baccalaureate programs, currently offered at Roberts Academy, Evanston Junior High School and Gilbert A. Dater High School. Read more at the link in our bio. (📸: Grace Tuc...
