According to Superintendent Dr. Darrell Johnson, 20 positions will be added, but that dozens of jobs were previously lost. Johnson tells News Channel 7, via email, "We did add 20 new positions... but we still lost more than 60 positions. The new jobs were a result of stimulus funds that allowed us to create new jobs. The people who lost jobs were the ones we primarily used to fill these positions."
