July 16 (Bloomberg) -- McGraw-Hill Cos. is cutting 550 jobs, or about 2.5 percent of its workforce, as part of a restructuring of its education division.

The New York-based company said in a statement today it will record a $24.3 million pretax charge in its second-quarter results, mostly because of severance costs.

“The majority of this has been completed already and the remaining affected employees will be notified in the coming months,” said Steven Weiss, a McGraw-Hill spokesman, in an interview."
