Fort Worth ISD and Cy-Fair ISD are facing budget cuts leading to significant reductions in librarian positions. Cy-Fair ISD plans to cut nearly half of its librarians, reducing the staff from 92 to 42, while Fort Worth ISD will lose full-time librarians at eight schools. The cuts are part of efforts to address budget shortfalls, with Cy-Fair ISD facing a $138 million deficit for the upcoming school year. Librarians in both districts received notifications via email about losing their jobs, prompting protests from parents and staff against the cuts.
