The Union County School board has decided to cut 53 teachers and 350 teaching assistants next school year. The district is dealing with a $10 million shortfall between state budget cuts and the loss of federal stimulus money. Superintendent Ed Davis says the district will re-hire those positions if state funding is higher than expected. Over the past three years the district has reduced its staff by 10 percent to deal with budget shortfalls.
