The Prince George’s County schools superintendent says his plan to cut 1,100 jobs is unavoidable, as the school system is facing an expected $85 million shortfall in the coming fiscal year. Most of the cuts won’t affect teachers, with many coming from administrative, media specialist and athletic director positions.
Superintendent William Hite said $1.3 billion of his proposed $1.6 billion budget is personnel costs, so it doesn’t “give us a lot of wiggle room to get the amounts we must cut.”
