Elementary School Cuts
Fourteen non-tenured teachers have been cut from the rolls of the Carbondale Elementary School District. This makes a heck of a lot of sense (that's sarcasm, by the way). Cut back on the people who are actually doing the wsork of theaching the students. That's the purpose of a school district. If you have to cut someplace, how about looking at staff as well, instead of the people who are performing the job for which the school district exists. Spread the pain around, instead of making the teachers absorb all of it.

There are 4 school districts in Carbondale. Imagine the savings if you combined them. Don't want to start questioning the Carbondale City, Jackson County and Carbondale Township either, your head might explode. :)
