March 14, 2013 The decision made Wednesday night by the Flint School Board is a tough one to accept, but Flint Northern High School will be closed at the end of this school year.
May 23, 2012 The news goes from bad to worse for Flint School employees and students, after the announcement that four schools will close, comes the word of major lay offs.
The Flint Board of Education voted 8-1 Tuesday to lay off 227 teachers and counselors. The schools lay off teachers every year, but nothing compared to this years cuts.
Last night the Flint School Board voted 7-1 to cut 227 staff positions, with the majority being teachers. The school board said laying off teachers in the spring is an annual event, and many teachers are called back once the student count for the fall is known.
The Flint teacher's union is currently suing the school board over the use of the evaluations they used to determine the cuts. What do you think should happen?
