Battle Ground Public Schools could eliminate close to 60 certificated staff for next school year because of declining student enrollment during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The school board Monday night approved a resolution that would allow it to cut 57.7 full-time equivalent certificated teacher, specialist and administrative positions to save the district $4.79 million.
