Michigan City schools slash jobs

June 27, 2012|WSBT-TV Report

MICHIGAN CITY – Michigan City schools are cutting more than 100 jobs to help ease a $16 million  budget deficit.

The school district says most of those jobs are classroom assistants, secretarial and maintenance positions.

7 teachers and some administration positions will also be cut.

School Board member William Greene says it wouldn't surprise him if they had to close a school next year.

Another board member says funding problems started with the countywide property tax reassessment in 2006. The district wasn't receiving tax money, so they had to borrow money.
