District Decides Not to Fill Position

As part of growing concerns over budgets, the Joplin school district announced this week it is cutting jobs through attrition as part of a plan to cut 5%-8% from the central office budget.

Asst. Supt. Stephen Doerr announced his retirement early this year.  Current Joplin Supt. C.J. Huff announced this week that the position will go unfilled saving the district about $130,000.

Budget cuts have yet to be finalized in Jefferson City, so the impact of the financial cuts is not yet certain.  But school districts do know for certain that cuts are coming…it’s just a matter of how much.
