Plan to Cut Services for Children Halted

A UK court is ordering a city in England to hold off on its plans to cut teachers of deaf children in the community until it can review the plan. The National Deaf Children's Society is legally challenging the Stoke-on-Trent City Council decision to do away with a teaching position next week, which would leave only 3 teachers to do the work that 8 were doing just 2 years ago. If the plan goes forward, the 3 remaining teachers would have to handle the needs of 200 children.
