ALAMANCE COUNTY, N.C. — Alamance-Burlington School System (ABSS) is facing budgetary challenges that have resulted in layoffs prompted by the administration, according to Les Atkins, ABSS spokesperson.
Atkins said more than 60 people will be impacted by the layoffs.
The administration is to bring a reduction in force (RIF) proposal before the Board of Education for consideration. The board will review the proposal at a meeting on February 13 and vote on whether to proceed with the recommended staffing changes.
"While we understand this potential RIF may create uncertainty for some employees, out of respect for all involved, the district will not be releasing any details or commenting on specifics of the proposal until the Board has had a chance to review and vote on the matter formerly," Atkins wrote in a statement.
Further updates will be available after the February 13 meeting.
