Marysville schools serving layoff notices for up to 45 teachers

MARYSVILLE — The Marysville School District is serving layoff notices for up to 45 teachers before a Monday deadline, as it becomes the latest district to grapple with a multi-million dollar budget shortfall.

The notices affecting nearly four dozen teachers across all grades is one of a series of steps needed for the district to cut up to “$18 to $19 million,” to balance its budget ahead of the 2023-24 school year, according to district spokesperson Jodi Runyon.

Additional cuts for non-teaching positions are expected later this year, Runyon said Thursday.

The Marysville district blames the job losses on declining enrollment, inadequate state funding, twice failing to pass school levies in 2022 and the end of federal COVID-19 relief, according a press release.
