Teaching Jobs in Boston Eliminated

Monday, March 8th, 2010

A shakeup at several Massachusetts schools today caused the elimination of several teaching jobs in Boston.

According to state officials, staff at six schools will have to reapply for their jobs and five principals will be replaced after the schools were listed among nearly three dozen statewide that will probably be declared “underperforming’’ and subject to drastic change.

Overall, 12 Boston schools face being listed as underperforming, slightly more than a third of the 35 schools statewide. The list includes the Jeremiah E. Burke High School in Dorchester, long considered a barometer of Mayor Thomas M. Menino’s effectiveness in improving the city’s schools over the past 16 years.

Boston Teaching Jobs Facing Cuts Because of Budget Problems

Tuesday, February 10th, 2009

Several hundred Boston teaching jobs could be cut because of a severe budget crisis.

The Boston School District is facing its worst budget crisis in more than 10 years, which could mean the loss of 900 Boston jobs. If jobs are cut from the district, it is likely that 403 teaching positions, or 6 percent of the teaching workforce, will be eliminated. The district currently employs 6,500 teachers, according to an article by The Boston Globe.

The budget totals $833.1 million, a 5.5 percent cut from last year. That means the district will have to cut spending by $107 million if it wants to address the increasing costs of salaries, special education and other services.
