Summary

Palm Beach County Schools confirmed it has cut 244 positions after an enrollment count showed nearly 7,000 students left local schools ahead of the academic year, reducing state funding tied to enrollment. Earlier this year the district eliminated 76 media clerk positions following approval of a 3.5% teacher pay raise, and the latest reductions include 214 teacher positions. The district says it is working to reassign impacted employees to available roles. The cuts follow superintendent warnings that the raises would result in layoffs due to lower enrollment and funding.
