These are the positions cut and added in the professional employee (includes teachers, principals and others) and service employee (includes aides, cooks and others) categories for Kanawha County’s new school year, which begins Monday. These are positions, not individuals, so a cut to a vacant position is still counted as a cut because the school system no longer intends to fill that position during the school year, meaning the school will be without it. Some cuts match up with additions because a position at a school is essentially being transformed to another position. These figures don’t include changes to Temporary Itinerant Regular Employees, who the school system says are fluid positions that are technically all laid off each year. Those TIRE positions are added for unexpected situations such as larger than expected enrollment in some classrooms.
