The Marietta City Schools Board of Education met Tuesday to discuss updates on the upcoming consolidation and restructuring of schools and the consideration of a new levy.
According to Superintendent Will Hampton, enrollment for the school district was down significantly this year, which has played a role in the recommendation to lose approximately 19 teaching positions.
“By consolidating and reducing our footprint we are able to be more efficient,” Hampton said.
Board member Russell Garrison highlighted that the loss of these positions will potentially be a combination of retirements and resignations, which will hopefully soften the unwanted impact.
