Coweta County Teacher Job Fair Cancelled

With state funding cuts for schools, the Coweta School System officials have cancelled the annual teacher job fair.

Human Resources Director Mark Guy says open positions for the new Brooks Elementary School will be filled by personnel from other schools and the central office.

Personnel will be shifted into new jobs, or take on new responsibilities as others retire or leave.

The Coweta School System expects a shortfall from $5.4 million and $9.5 million for the 2009-2010 school year.

The state has issued a temporary waiver on the maximum class size, so the school system believes they can get by on 70 fewer teachers next year.
