Should the proposed cuts go through, the three-year-old school would lose 12 teachers, or roughly 50 percent of its teaching staff.

Those teachers could possibly be replaced with teacher from other school who have higher seniority.

Opponents of the proposal say the dynamic between students and teachers is great and they're worried about how that could change should any teachers be forced to go.

"For three years we've been creating something special here where teachers and the parents and the principal work well together and then to just rip all these people out from that would really hurt our school," said PS 306 Teacher Jimmy Kalamaras.

"Every year we've been asking our schools to do more with less and it gets to a point where school can't do more with less and you will impact the quality of education that our children receive," said City Councilwoman Elizabeth Crowley.

Other protests against the budget cuts have been organized throughout the city.
