The Cave Creek Unified school board approved another 46 staff terminations at its June 23 board meeting.
This brings the count of terminated contracts to 104, which is about 20% of total staff count from the beginning of the year, according to the district’s website.
“Nobody is happy about this,” said board member Jeff Fortney during the April 7 meeting, when the board approved the termination of 14 contracts. “My heart goes out to the folks that are dealing with this, and that’s everybody — that’s the principals, that’s the people that have to make these decisions.”
