MEA protests board over teacher layoffs in Murphysboro
Murphysboro Education Association members rallied Tuesday to oppose proposed layoffs of 11 full time positions and four part time posts in Murphysboro Unit School District 186. MEA cited budget cuts, enrollment declines, and potential loss of state aid as drivers. Board action on cuts was set for March 23, with superintendent Ernest Bozarth proposing further reductions and shifts across departments.
