School leaders in Portland are hoping to bring back some teaching jobs after layoffs earlier this year.?
The city school district had eliminated nearly 50 positions.
After state budget numbers were finalized, the district ended up with more state aid than school leaders had originally planned for. Portland should receive roughly $1.9 million in state aid.
However, the school district is still on the hook for the teacher retirement costs, an estimated $1.4 million.
Portland?s superintendent hopes to use the leftover half million dollars to fund eight full-time positions.
?These are positions that will be placed in school buildings -- not in a central office -- in school buildings and will have a direct impact with students and their families,? Emmanuel Caulk told News 8.
The plan must be approved by Portland city voters. A referendum vote is likely later in August.
If the referendum fails, the district will still have to pay those teacher retirement costs and that will lead to more cuts, and by extension more layoffs.
