Chicago Public Schools began laying off employees from its bureaucratic ranks Friday in an effort to reduce costs while avoiding cuts to the classroom.
A total of 227 employees were to get layoff notices Friday, district CEO Forrest Claypool said in a statement. About 60 of those employees were eligible to reapply for 35 available positions, he said.
In addition, Claypool said 180 vacant positions have been eliminated. On top of that the district said it has cut 61 positions since August.
Through those moves, the district said it has cut 433 jobs and would save about $32 million this fiscal year.
