Looking at senior administrative positions to cut

Some Wake County school administrators are sweating their futures now that school board members have asked interim Superintendent Donna Hargens to review whether jobs can be eliminated.

As noted in today's article, board members asked Hargens to look at more than a dozen senior administrative positions and come up with a recommendation on those positions next week.

Cutting some of those jobs could help offset the cost of restoring some of the parent counseling positions at Project Enlightenment. The board had also asked Hargens to make a recommendation on those jobs next week.

Restoring Project Enlightenment cuts and cutting senior admin jobs

Here's a recap of the rest of today's Wake County school board work session.

The board asked interim Superintendent Donna Hargens to come with a recommendation next week on whether to restore any of the nine parent counselor positions cut from Project Enlightenment. No specific number was set but the board is looking at three to five positions.

The board also asked Hargens to come back with a recommendation on whether any of more than a dozen senior administrative positions identified by the board can be cut.

Hair today gone tomorrow

Supt. Del Burns is willing to stick out his neck, or at least his hair, for a good cause.

Burns is one of the people who has agreed to have his hair shaved off Saturday to help raise money for the St. Baldrick's Foundation. The organization raises money to help children who are afflicted with childhood cancer.
