The Easton Area School Board is scheduled to vote Tuesday on a measure that could cut 43 school district employees, including 16 teachers.
If the measure passes, it will be the second year in a row the district has laid off employees in order to balance its budget.
Last month, the school board voted 6-3 for a $134 million budget that was balanced by a 1.7 percent tax increase, $750,000 from the district fund balance, and job cuts.
According to the resolution, the district would cut the following positions:
- One high school French teacher
- One high school Spanish teacher
- One high school special education teacher
- One high school technology education teacher
- One high school family and consumer science teacher
- One high school English as a second language teacher
- One middle school Read 180 teacher, for grades 7 and 8
- One middle school special education teacher, for grades 5 and 6
- One elementary school librarian
- Seven elementary school classroom teachers
The board is scheduled to meet at 7 p.m. Tuesday at the district offices.
