The Board for Manton Consolidated Schools passed another round of cuts Monday night.

Superintendent Mark Parsons says they will eliminate four part-time teacher aides and a full-time library aide. The layoffs will save the district about $55,000 per year.

The district had already eliminated physical education and art teachers at the elementary and middle school level, along with technology classes in the middle school. Other teachers will now pick up those subjects.

There will be no transportation on Saturdays for sports and all the administrators will take a 4% decrease in salary.

Those cuts will save $600,000.

Superintendent Parsons says they are disappointed to make these cuts, but they had no choice because of declining state funding.
