15 to be laid off from Bedford Schools

BEDFORD, MI (Toledo News Now)- Temperance Road Elementary is closing for the last time on June 7, and now, 15 teachers will be laid off from Bedford Schools, as well.

The closure and cuts are due to decreased funding from the state, a projected decline in enrollment of 100 students, and the deficit elimination plan required by the state of Michigan.

The plan was required for Bedford Public Schools three years ago. Districts in Michigan cannot operate in a budget deficit, even though Bedford's deficit is due, in large part, to state funding cuts.
