Appleton schools plan staff cuts to balance budget

He also said the districts expected to cut between 5 and 10 positions this way, combining positions and dropping duties as needed. The district also plans to examine non-classroom positions, like administrative assistants and paraprofessionals, and consider whether any can be reduced for the 2027-28 school year.
