Fort Lauderdale Teaching Jobs Safe for Now

Friday, January 22nd, 2010

Although the local school district is planning to eliminate hundreds of positions, Fort Lauderdale teaching jobs will remain safe, at least for the time being.

Broward County Public Schools recently announced that up to 475 jobs could be cut from the district’s facilities and maintenance divisions. The layoffs are part of the School Board’s attempt to reduce the district’s $1 billion capital budget by $47 million. That budget pays for construction projects, major purchases and the salaries of most people in the facilities and maintenance divisions.

The district is looking at other measures to avoid cutting that many jobs, including selling surplus properties and backing out of design contracts on projects that are still in planning stages. However, according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, it is still expected that some people will lose their jobs, regardless of any additional initiatives taken by the district.
