It was an emotional day at Las Vegas City Schools on Monday as Superintendent Sheryl McNellis-Martinez notified several staff members that they may be reassigned or soon find themselves out of a job.

Citing budget cuts, McNellis-Martinez confirmed to the Optic on Tuesday that she is cutting two principal positions, four clerical positions, a Central Office position in the human resource office, an administrative assistant, two librarian positions and the director of transportation and maintenance post. The cuts go into effect for the upcoming school year.
