Survey: Connecticut May Eliminate 900 Teaching Jobs

Connecticut public school superintendents surveyed say at least 933 teaching positions may be eliminated for the next school year.

Superintendents were asked how many teaching positions they recommended for elimination in the budgets they presented to their local school boards.

The Connecticut Association of Public School Superintendents says the number may grow once the superintendents’ proposed budgets go through the local budget approval processes.

There are about 50,000 certified teachers in Connecticut schools.
