Falmouth Teachers May Face Job Cuts

Five things to do and know in Falmouth this Tuesday, Jan. 28, 2014, including the school committee budget hearing at 6:30 p.m. at the high school.

1. The Falmouth School Committee holds a budget hearing Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. in the Falmouth High School auditorium. The school district's budget is in the red and officials are considering staff cuts of more than 40 jobs, including 6 percent of the district's teachers. A video of the budget presentation can be viewed at the school district website, where you can also download the budget slideshow.

2. Want to take a brisk walk or shoot some hoops, regardless of winter weather? The Falmouth Recreation Department wants us to know that Adult Walking is available in the gymnasium Monday through Friday 8-9 AM and 11 a.m. to noon, followed by Adult Basketball until 2:30 p.m.

3. Liam Maguire's hosts Karaoke with DJ Andy, starting at 9 p.m. Free admission.

4. The Falmouth Public Library posts on Facebook: "The North Falmouth Branch will need a little longer for its facelift! The re-opening date is delayed until mid February. If you have books to return you can return them to other CLAMS libraries or hold onto them until the branch re-opens. No overdue fees will be incurred for North Falmouth books returned to North Falmouth."
