In the Carteret County Public School System, staff members have been working diligently to protect the quality of education and the progress that has been made in student achievement. Information received from the state indicates funding will be lost next year and that information has been shared with staff members.  To deal with the loss of state and federal funds, the school system will unfortunately lose positions across the county.  Should there be a reduction in force (RIF), policies and regulations have been prepared to make sure a plan is in place that treats every employee as fairly as possible and still protects the quality of education students receive.

The reduction in force policies and regulations are posted below. Please review these documents.  Principals or supervisors will discuss the policies and regulations with school staff at a meeting that he/she will schedule. A list of frequently asked questions along with the answers will be posted at this site and will be updated frequently.

The budget crisis is difficult and heartbreaking when one sees the impact it will have on staff and students. Please know every staff member is appreciated and the work each does is valued.
