Kanawha County Schools in West Virginia faces tough cuts, aiming to eliminate 140 positions due to a significant drop in enrollment. The board is holding hearings for employees to fight for their jobs, with classroom assistants like Willie Schillings making emotional pleas. Schillings, a first-grade early childhood classroom assistant, worries about her grandkids and the impact on special education needs. Superintendent Dr. Paula Potter emphasizes that the cuts are due to a funding formula tied to enrollment, not performance. The board votes on the cuts Tuesday, leaving educators in a difficult position.
