The Savannah-Chatham County public school system has cut the jobs of 23 employees, and it expects to cut a total of 234 by June. School board chairman Joe Buck said Wednesday the cuts had to be made because of the economy. The 23 were certificated teachers filling administrative positions that the district does not expect to restore. The school board was legally required to notify them that their contracts will not be renewed before the state's Friday deadline. The bulk of the cuts - more than 200 teachers and non-contract employees - are expected to occur in June. Wednesday's cuts included four assistant principals.
