The Kanawha County Board of Education is proposing staff cuts for both the Chandler Academy and the Career Plus program. The Career Plus Program is offered at the Carver Career and Technical Education Center and the Ben Franklin Career Center to at-risk students. Students in the Career Plus program can take core subject classes in a smaller classroom setting at the career centers. A spokesperson for Kanawha County Schools told Eyewitness News that ideally no staffing cuts would need to be made, but KCS has lost more than 530 students this school year. KCS said most, if not all, employees affected by Reduction In Force and Transfer are typically offered other jobs within the district. Every employee will have the opportunity to a hearing in front of the school board. Staffing will not be final until the board votes on the staffing decision later on in the spring.
