The Fort Worth Independent School District focused its layoffs this week on its technology division, a move described as unfortunate but necessary amid budget constraints that was finalized by the Board of Education on Tuesday.
District officials on Thursday released the resolution that declares Fort Worth ISD’s workforce reduction and additional details behind the staff cuts after notifying impacted employees. The document obtained by the Star-Telegram states that within its technology division, the eliminated jobs include:
Assistant superintendent of educational technology
Director IT project management
Coordinator IT project management
IT specialist project management
Assessment data analysts, freshman success coaches and Leadership Academy Network instructional specialists also lost jobs in the cuts. On Friday, officials shared with the Star-Telegram that a total of 133 positions were cut, with four funded from local funds and 129 from federal dollars.
“The Superintendent of Schools has determined it is in the best interest of the district to restructure the organization of the district’s division of technology and other academic divisions and positions in the district,” the resolution states. “The program change is part of the ongoing efforts to address the decrease in student enrollment, improve efficiency, and reallocate resources to positively impact students.”
