DeKalb schools weighing painful cuts

DeKalb County schools are grappling with pending job cuts. The system's proposal puts more than 200 employees in danger of losing their jobs in the county’s effort to save money. Three different options are being considered for the job cuts--ranging from mid-level administrators, to groundskeepers, to drivers-education instructors. Cuts are NOT being considered for teachers positions, janitors and media specialists. The moves could be made as early as December.
