Decatur city schools officials voted to reduce the number of teacher workdays in the next school year.
n a 3-0 vote, the number of teacher workdays drops from 190 to 187, Marc Wisniewski, board vice chairman, told the AJC Thursday night.
The furlough days next school year are meant to help balance the budget.
The furloughs mean about a 2 percent reduction for most staff, Superintendent Phyllis Edwards said.
“I believe we’re taking the least destructive measures we can take,” Edwards told about 50 parents and teachers on Wednesday.
