Forty-one jobs are being cut by the Tri-County Regional School Board. Twenty-two are teachers who will be eliminated through retirements, the number of teacher assistants will be reduced by five, two custodial jobs will be eliminated, three library techs dismissed and some administrators will also be gone. A severe-learning disability specialist position will also be eliminated and a vacant psychologist position will not be filled. The school board for Shelburne, Yarmouth and Digby Counties has approved a 67.4 million dollar budget for 2012-13, which is 2.3 million less than last year and the reason for the cuts. Three Yarmouth County schools are also up for review this year.
