School Superintendent Will Schofield said the recession economy and a decreasing need for some teachers combined to cause the cuts.
"That involved fewer ELL teachers for next year and we also had a number of people we hired after school started and at this point we're not ready to offer those positions back, Schofield said.
Schofield said 18 English Language Learning (ELL) positions were cut along with 18 certified employees after the beginning of the current school year.
