SCRANTON, Pa. — The Scranton School Board voted 7 to 2 in a decision to furlough more than 200 employees.
The district planned to furlough those employees last month, but an order from a Lackawanna County judge bought those workers a little more time.
The proposed furloughs include teaching assistants, intervention specialists, maintenance workers, crossing guards, and a nurse.
All 218 employees will lose their medical benefits.
The superintendent of the Scranton School District can recall any of these employees as needed.
