Declining enrollment leads the Winchester School Board to lay off two science teachers at Handley High and Daniel Morgan Middle for September. The two transfers will move from middle to high school, with newest staff first to lose jobs under the district’s seniority based reduction policy. Enrollment is expected to rise slightly next year though middle school numbers drop from 793 to about 770.
