Leon County Schools $7M Staffing Cuts and Property Tax Referendum

Leon County Schools is cutting $7 million in staffing, including social workers and interventionists. Superintendent Hanna downplays impact, but teachers' union president Mazur warns of larger classes. School board voted 4-1 to put a one-mill property tax referendum on November ballot for teacher pay, safety, and programs; needs County Commission approval. Voters will decide if they want to fund schools differently.
