SHEPHERSDVILLE, KY (WAVE) - The
Superintendent of Bullitt County Schools has asked that his proposal to
outsource jobs be removed from the agenda for an upcoming board meeting.
Superintendent
Keith Davis recently announced he found a way to save the district $240,000 a
year by outsourcing the schools cleaning services.
Doing so
would result in about 80 custodians losing their jobs.
In a
newsletter Saturday, Davis said he and the board have been inundated with
e-mails, calls and social media comments asking that the board not consider
outsourcing.
Saturday
the Kentucky Education Association hosted a meeting at the Fairfield Inn
located in Brooks, Kentucky, where those who would be affected came together to
fight for their jobs.
Although
the outsourcing proposal will not be considered at the upcoming board meeting,
Davis said that in the unlikely event a majority of the board members wish to reverse
the decision, notification to the staff will be issued.
