LAUSD Layoffs
The Board of Education for L.A. Unified School District approved a plan yesterday to lay off more than 5,000 employees, just hours after their decision to rescind the layoff notices for nearly 2,000 permanent teachers. The vote will affect newer teachers without tenure as well as counselors, custodians, and administrators. It will also result in larger class sizes. While the plan would close the $596 million budget deficit for next school year down to $27 million, changes are likely to be made to the budget over the coming weeks. Larry Mantle finds out what this means for the L.A. school district.
