Arundel school system reduces furlough days
The Anne Arundel County Board of Education voted Wednesday to cancel one of its planned furlough days for all school system employees. The board voted unanimously to reduce the number of furlough days to between one and four. Principals and senior and executive staff will incur the most days; teachers will have two. The move, which was recommended to the board by Superintendent Kevin M. Maxwell, was possible because of a number of cost-saving actions, school officials said. The board approved furlough days in June for all employees except school bus drivers and bus aides as part of more than $40 million in cost-cutting measures to bridge a budget gap. Originally, the maximum was five furlough days. "We have tightened the screws and we continue to tighten the screws to find savings when possible," Maxwell said.
