Link to May 13 Herald Times Reporter article, "Library aides eliminated in district's 1.027M budget cut".

Excerpt
: The Manitowoc Public School Board narrowly approved $1.027 million in budget cuts for the 2009-10 school year, eliminating the library aide positions and reducing Excel advocates, education support personnel, during its meeting Tuesday night. Those two cuts will save the district $176,060.

Twenty-one full- and part-time paraprofessional positions will be affected by the cuts, said Andrea Holschbach, director of human resources said.

The seven-member board voted 4-3 on accepting the cuts. Michael Herrity, Judy Carey, Tim Newberg and Lee Braunel voted in favor of the cuts, while Crystal Myer, James Protsman and Robert Jome voted against the decision.
