PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Vancouver Public Schools formally adopted a resolution on Tuesday that would cut nearly 200 full-time teachers and staff, as the district faces an ongoing budget deficit.
The resolution, originally posed for the school board’s consideration earlier this month, was outlined to reflect the approximately $24 million needed in reductions to stabilize their budget.
The Reduced Educational Program Plan for the 2026-27 school year will see over 22 full-time employees cut from administrative/central office-based staff. Additionally, building-based staff will see approximately 127 full-time employee cuts, including nearly 90 teachers.
