Job cuts are coming to the Wicomico County Public Schools.
Six positions are in jeopardy including a teacher an instructional assistant and professional development coach.
That’s the message for more than 200 parents who signed a friendly petition protesting the proposed budget by Wicomico County Executive Rick Pollitt.
His spending plan cuts the county contribution to the public schools by over $2 million dollars from the $40 million requested by the Board of Education to $38 million for the upcoming fiscal year.
Monday’s public hearing was the second held by the Board.
The Salisbury Daily Times reports that Wicomico Superintendent John Fredericksen said Pollitt’s proposed budget also adds $1 million more than expected for the school system’s capital budget.
