SOUTHAMPTON Several key positions at Norris Elementary School are at stake next fiscal year unless voters OK a $714,500 override next month, school officials say.
Next year’s budget without the override would require the School Committee to cut several positions, including a math interventionist, reading interventionist, special subject teacher, and paraprofessional; in addition to reducing a school nurse role to a half-time position and other cuts.
Principal Aliza Pluta said that the cut to Norris’ budget would be “devastating,” stating that it “takes away everything I said I needed to support students at Norris School.”
