Lethbridge Schools Facing $5M Shortfall

In a recent Lethbridge Herald article, "Public school teachers warned of possible position cuts next year," the Lethbridge Board is facing a $5M shortfall. The school district has 8200 students at 18 schools and employs 531 certificated staff and 477 support staff. Preliminary analysis suggests 30 to 35 teaching positions and an unknown number of support staff positions will likely be eliminated due to the shortfall.
