EL PASO, Texas —
The reductions that were made totaled $5.6 million in savings for the district, which is just a fraction of the goal of $28 million in cuts.
Here's the breakdown on the $5.6 million: The board eliminated 26 At-Risk coordinators, which adds up to $1.2 million in savings. $1.3 million was shaved off after reducing 62 language proficiency assessment committee clerks. The biggest cut came from the 28 positions at central office that saves the district $3.1 million.
The At-Risk coordinators's mid-range salary is about $50,000 a year, while the language proficiency clerk's mid-range salary is about $20,000 a year.
The central office positions include hourly employees, mid-level and top-level employees. But no one with a salary over $100,000 at central office was cut.
District officials are working on placing the 116 people whose jobs were eliminated into other jobs within the district.
