Broward schools alert 300 employees their jobs were cut

The Broward School District notified 353 employees on Wednesday that their jobs will be eliminated after this school year as part of a cost-cutting reorganization plan.

The positions include 11 elementary school counselors, 17 exceptional service education counselors, 16 social workers, 21 clerical support assistants and 40 district management positions, according to a document provided by the school district.

The cuts also include 53 non-teaching positions associated with schools that are closing in the 2026-27 school year, district spokesman John Sullivan said.

None of the district’s highest-paid chief executives are planned to be cut, a proposed organization chart shows.

In total, the district is eliminating the 856 positions, most of which are already unfilled. The total includes some positions that were on the books but not actually funded during the 2025-26 school year, a district document states. The total savings for 512 filled and unfilled positions that were funded this school year is about $45 million, an executive summary states.
