SWIFTWATER, MONROE COUNTY- Possible teacher cuts in one Pocono School District. Word that up to 18 teaching positions may be cut in the Pocono Mountain School District brought out a big crowd Wednesday night. The district is facing a declining enrollment and needs to balance a budget. The board says furloughing some teachers would be a way to save money. Some claim the threatened cuts are a ploy to scare people into paying higher taxes.. Just last week, parents and students packed the meeting over proposed cuts to sports and after school activities. A decision will be made in a few weeks. | |
