It’s a school district where you don’t normally hear about a budget crisis. But
47 teachers in the Utica School District are being laid off.
The decision came during a Board of Education meeting. The layoffs affect 47 teachers mostly from elementary and middle schools.
A district official said the loss of $700,000 in Title One funding from the federal government, and a change in the formula for school aid are factors in the decision.
The Utica Community Schools district is the second- largest district in the state with 36 schools and a teaching staff of 1,400.
