Onslow County Schools budget Update

The Jacksonville Daily News reported that Onslow County Schools has nearly $3 million dollars less in this year's budget.

I admire the decision of the administration to hold firm in their decision not to lay off any employees in spite of budget constraints. Even though the 2009-2010 budget reflects a reduction of about 100 teaching positions and 70 teacher assistant positions, I believe not filling vacant positions due to resignation and retirements will help current employees.
