The Pleasant Valley School Board passed a resolution Thursday that could allow for the furlough of up to 51 employees, for economic reasons.
“The budget forced our hand to pass the resolution tonight,” Superintendent Lee Lesisko said. “ It would behoove us to have teachers and professional staff sit in a classroom with no kids and pay them, it would be fiscally irresponsible.
"We don’t want to furlough, but if we don’t, we’ll go bankrupt in the next few years.”
The resolution states the board’s intent to suspend a maximum of 39 professional employees that provide instruction, a maximum of four administrative staff and a maximum of eight other professional employees.
