Layoff Notices Set For Bay Area Teachers
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) ―
The next few days are expected to be rather unsettling for teachers throughout the region and the state.
The California Teachers Association says more than 1,600 teachers across the nine counties that make up the Bay Area will be getting notices that they may be losing their jobs.
The notices of anticipated layoffs come as the local education officials brace for a cut in state funding for education.
The first round of pink slips going out are considered preliminary, complying with a state law requiring notification.
School districts have until May 15 to tell those teachers who will be actually losing their jobs.
