Dozens of New Milford Teachers May Be Out

In New Milford, 62 nontenured teachers are expected to receive pink slips this week due to possible budget cuts. District officials say they are acting out of caution ahead of a budget referendum set for May. The teachers affected are in their first or second year on the job. While some notices may later be rescinded, nothing is guaranteed until voters decide on the final education budget. The district has 364 certified teachers overall.
