Boston Schools Face 900 Job Cuts, Closures

The Boston Public Schools are considering 900 job cuts — 400 of them teaching jobs — school closures and fewer bus routes, as a way to close a more than $100 million budget gap next year.

Superintendent Carol Johnson outlined a budget plan before the school committee last night.

WBUR's Meghna Chakrabarti was at the meeting last night, and joins us this morning to talk about the details and the reaction.
