Budget Cuts Target School Aide Jobs in Richmond District
Richmond teachers and district leaders clashed over proposed 1982 83 budget cuts that could shrink hours for Special Education Aides from 6 to 3 percent and threaten Proficiency Lab and Physical Education positions. Teacher Chere Moore praised Project Challenge and Booster programs while urging the board to seek funding to preserve aides. The board emphasized that decisions target hours and positions, not current personnel, and reviewed timelines for superintendency hiring and a plan to lease subsurface oil and gas rights.
