The Durham School of the Arts may be preparing to face even more severe budget cuts.
The school’s struggles are highlighted against the backdrop of the district’s move to save $20 million in education costs. The school district is looking to cut 292 positions. For the School of the Arts, that could translate into losing 15 teachers.
The school is already considering several cost-cutting measures such as increasing the class size, reducing the teachers’ pay, twoday furloughs, etc. They have already seen cuts to the summer school program and several after-school programs that were designed to help low-performing students.
