The Lake Station School Board laid off four teachers and accepted resignations from six other teachers Wednesday as cost-cutting continued in the small district reeling from last year’s voter rejection of the continuation of its property tax referendum.
Cripliver said the teachers who resigned won’t be replaced. He said the district was looking at laying off 10 teachers, but because of the resignations, the number decreased to four.Wednesday’s round of cuts marked the end of reductions for this year, Cripliver said. School officials plan to try again in November to convince voters to back the referendum that would enable it to restore most personnel and operations.
