As mentioned earlier today, while Gov. Markell is busy stroking business leaders in and outside of Delaware, real education jobs are being lost in Delaware, well over 200.
According to the Delaware State Education Association, here is the list of layoffs across Delaware.
Brandywine: 39 teachers and specialists
Caesar Rodney: no layoffs
Cape Henlopen: 13 teachers
Capital: 1 teacher
Christina: 43 teachers; 82 temporary contract teachers; 16 paraprofessionals
Colonial: none
Delmar: none
Indian River: 68 teachers
Lake Forest: 3 paraprofessional; one social worker
Milford: 2 teachers
Red Clay: 10 teachers; 25 temporary teacher contracts not extended
Smyrna: none
Sussex Tech: 1
Woodbridge: 2
Note that Indian River historically layoffs many of the inexperienced teachers and then rehires some after the budget is passed. And before you ask, paraprofessionals are state certified people hired to assist teachers by teaching and instructing small groups of students.
