Mobile County school officials considered a 2008 budget-cut proposal that could eliminate 259 teaching positions and reduce or end multiple programs, according to WKRG.
The proposal listed reductions in locally funded and state-funded teacher positions, special-education staff, assistant principals, counselors, librarians and a principal-training program. It also identified potential cuts to initiatives including math, advanced placement, professional development, middle-school reform, fine arts, partnerships and truancy work.
The report said board members had not yet taken formal votes and were expected to consider the proposal at their next regular meeting.
This is a historical summary of a proposed 2008 budget action. The proposal was not presented as a final decision.
