Calgary schools to cut 192 teaching spots

From the CBC website

Calgary public schools are facing the loss of 192 full-time teaching and 85 support positions this fall.

The Calgary Board of Education confirmed those numbers on Tuesday in unveiling its proposed operating budget, which lays out a $10 million deficit.

The debt will arise even though the board is cleaning out its reserve fund of $19.1 million to help cover the $1 billion operating budget for 2010-11.

The budget will include the job cuts, reduction of some class sizes and a small increases in certain fees.
