RACHEL — A Jayenne Elementary School teacher told members of the Marion County Board of Education Monday that she was told to either sign her new contract or lose her job. “The board has decided to cut the second grade position that I currently hold,” said Stacy Patterson, second-grade teacher at Jayenne Elementary School. After Patterson and other concerned attendees spoke, the meeting fell into disorder and the board requested Patterson and two representatives from teachers’ unions join the board in an executive session behind closed doors. Approximately 40 people attended the meeting held at the North Marion High auditorium. “People were trying to get their point across that these jobs need to be maintained,” said John Foley, president of the American Federation of Teachers’ chapter in Marion County. “We don’t need to lose teaching positions in our county at a time like this.”
