Trustees at the Toronto Catholic District School Board eliminated 22 positions Wednesday night as they continue to try and balance the boards budget.
The job cuts include 14 principals, four elementary vice principals and four secondary vice principals.
Many jobs were on the chopping block, including special education teachers.
Some parents have expressed concerns over how the cuts will affect children with special needs.
Trustees have said they don’t want to do any kind of cuts to the special needs programming but said the lack of funding from the government means they need to make hard decisions.
The board is tasked with eliminating a total budget deficit of $34.3 million.
