As New Jersey schools draw up their annual budgets, some are finding that revenues aren't enough to support all their needs. As a result, a few are contemplating or have approved laying off teachers and other staff for the 2017-2018 school year.

Here are some of the districts facing cuts, listed by those who are planning to lay off the fewest staff members to the districts that are facing the most severe cuts.

9. Lakewood School District

After sending out notices to 140 teachers and staff about potential layoffs, the Lakewood Public School District voted against the proposed cuts amid public opposition. The state monitor overode the vote, but the state later provided an "advance" of $8.5 million in state aid to prevent the mass layoffs.

Still, Lakewood Superintendent Laura Winters told NJ Advance Media Thursday that 13 positions may be eliminated.

"At this time, the only staff that are still in danger of remaining on the reduction in force list are: five elementary guidance counselors, six librarians, the athletic director and athletic trainer," Winters said.

8. Parsippany-Troy Hills School District

The Parsippany-Troy Hills School Districtplans to eliminate 14 teaching positions from the middle school and cut the school's reading and writing program, according to the Daily Record.

The cuts were reportedly proposed in early May in response to severe budget deficits resulting from the hard cap limit of a 2-percent increase on property taxes, no increase in state aid and the lack of a district surplus.

5. Swedesboro-Woolwich School District

Despite a protest of hundreds of teachers and community members, the Swedesboro-Woolwich Board of Education voted in early May to explore the potential cost savings of outsourcing 27 paraprofessionals.

Swedesboro-Woolwich Superintendent Kristin O’Neil told NJ Advance Media Tuesday those paraprofessionals would be hired by the outsourcing company if they applied for employment.

"At this point in time no decisions have been made and this one of many options we’re investigating," O'Neil said.

A decision on the matter is expected in June.
