UPDATE: Two metro-east school districts approve big cuts
Teachers in two metro-east school districts will lose their jobs because of budget cuts. School boards in both Collinsville and Belleville District 201 voted for layoffs Monday night.
Collinsville schools will be hit the hardest, with district officials voting to eliminate 16 full-time and three part-time teaching positions.
The Belleville district will cut three full-time teachers and one part-timer.
Both district boards say they have no choice but to make the cuts because the State of Illinois has failed to meet their financial obligations to the districts.
