OCEAN SPRINGS, Miss. (AP) - Although a decision to not renew the contracts of Ocean Springs School District registered nurses isn’t official, the superintendent has let the health care workers know there’s a good possibility they won’t be employed with the district next year.

Superintendent Bonita Coleman-Potter tells The Sun Herald (https://bit.ly/1s9gzMe) a budget committee recommended the school district hire an outside company to cut down on personnel costs.

The school board is expected to receive a contract from the company at its June 14 board meeting. Possible companies involved with the contract include Singing River Health System and Medical Analysis.

Coleman-Potter said it is likely the board will approve the contract.

Citing education under-funding, she says school officials are considering how to cut back.
