Layoffs Likely to Impact Cabell County Schools

The Cabell County Board of Education will consider several personnel layoffs and transfers at a special meeting today. Board members will vote on a list of 48 reductions in force, or RIFs, and over 55 transfers of teachers and administrators. It all stems from an expected loss of over $800,000 in state funding for professional personnel for the 2016-17 fiscal year, which begins July 1. There are also layoffs and transfers planned for service personnel.
