But apparently not here.
Officials have completed the difficult task of notifying employees whose jobs with the Texas AgriLife Extension Service will end between now and Oct. 31.
The personnel cutback affects 94 jobs — 31 vacant positions that will not be filled and 63 occupied positions that will be eliminated agencywide. The downsizing results from a 5 percent state budget reduction, according to Dr. Ed Smith, AgriLife Extension director.
According to officials, though, no personnel cuts are planned at the Kaufman County office at this time.
Leaders of the state agency, which has offices in 250 Texas counties, said their decisions were based on maintaining core programs statewide.
AgriLife Extension is part of a national community-based adult and youth education system.
