The Anoka-Hennepin School Board voted unanimously to cut hundreds of central office jobs in order to save the district millions of dollars. This plan also ensures that teachers will not face layoffs in the short term, though the district will reassess the need for further reductions next year. The decision follows months of discussion after the board identified a $26 million budget shortfall, caused by factors such as limited growth, the end of pandemic relief funds, inflation, and a lack of additional state or federal revenue.
