Kentucky schools have cut 1,169 jobs this year

More than 1,100 jobs were cut in Kentucky public schools this year because of the state's budget crunch, according to a survey by the Kentucky School Boards Association. The association says 39 districts reported that they didn't have to eliminate any jobs, but 135 lost at least one certified or classified post before the new school year started. The survey found 594 certified posts were eliminated, and 575 classified jobs were cut.
