Salt Lake City is cutting teacher positions and will start considering which schools to close

The board voted to sidestep staffing ratios that would have required schools to drop the equivalent of 76 teachers.

(Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune) Due to declining enrollment, the Salt Lake City school board voted Tuesday to have district staff move forward with a plan to reduce the teaching workforce by the equivalent of 42 full-time teachers in the 2022-23 school year. East and West high schools are each currently slated to lose the equivalent of two teachers.
