More job cuts are possible at tonight's Huntsville Board of Education meeting. One item on tonight's agenda involves a human resources report.

According to a school official, that likely means more cuts are on the way. Also, the board will talk about principal contracts.

Thirteen principal contracts are up for renewal this year. Administrators have to be given notice by March 14th if they are being terminated.

The meeting starts at 5:30 tonight and we'll have a crew inside to bring you reports on air and online at WAFF.com.
