The Friday before spring break, 18 teachers received notice that their position would not be renewed the following school year…essentially a layoff notice. This was due largely to the school consolidation in the district – combing the middle school and high school, and closing Gateway Elementary altogether. So how were the staffs at each school affected? A CORA requested yielded the actual email sent to staff, and the summary of the number being let go from each school is shown below (names are not being included here for privacy reasons):

• Gateway Elementary: 10
• Summit Elementary: 2
• Columbine Elementary: 0
• Middle School: 4
• High School: 2
