District 200 to Lay Off 35 Teachers

Community Unit School District 200 will lay off 35 teachers this spring. The District 200 Board of Education approved a resolution authorizing the dismissal of non-tenured teachers Wednesday, Triblocal reported Thursday.

Illinois School Code requires that staff receive notice of non-renewal or honorable dismissal 45 days before the end of the school term, according to the District 200 website.

According to Triblocal, District 200 Superintendent Dr. Brian Harris said staff is in the process of planning for next year's enrollment and staffing.
