St. Paul Schools Propose Mid-Year Layoffs for ELL Educators

St. Paul Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Stacie Stanley has proposed mid-year layoffs for English-language learner educators, attributing the decision to decreased enrollment partly due to "Operation Metro Surge." The St. Paul Federation of Educators alleges the plan was developed secretly and will impact dozens of schools. These budget recommendations are scheduled for discussion at a school board meeting tonight, potentially affecting educational services and staff employment.
