In today's press release, Edmonton Public announced the cuts that Administration is proposing to their board of trustees. Chair Dave Colburn, states in the release that '"Our Board is quite concerned about the negative impact the budget will have - the reality is you can't cut over 200 teaching positions without impacting students."'
-Approximately 229 teaching positions and 115 non-teaching positions would be eliminated
-Significant cuts to school spending and even deeper cuts to central departments.
-Central spending would be reduced more than five times as much as school spending.
The final budget will come before the board in June.
