Manchester Community Schools To Cut 17 Jobs; More To Come

Seventeen Manchester Community Schools employees will be feeling the immediate effects of an unprecedented state-mandated budget cut, with more cuts to come in the future.
With the state’s reduction in funding for K-12 education in 2010, Manchester Community Schools is forced to immediately cut nearly $325,000, all of it coming from classified employees.
Eighteen staff members will lose their jobs effective February 26, with seven others having their hours reduced anywhere from 1/2 hour to two hours per day.
