Superintendent Rick Simon recently told Patch that the closure of Kirdahy and Westbrook Elementary schools will result in an estimated 45 terminated positions.
As reported last week, the topic of the two school closings was still in the forefront for some parents at last Thursday night’s BOE meeting at the high school.
While Simon mentioned the district is still working on finalizing the exact number of positions that will be lost, he said that 45 "is a very close estimate."

The list of positions include:
- 18 teachers
- 2 administrators
- 2 principals
- 2 secretaries
- 8 teacher assistants
- 2 nurses
- 6-8 cafeteria aids
- 5 custodians
As a result of the above terminations, the district will be saving approximately $2.8 million in salary and benefits.
