The Central Office breeds with nepotism so layoffs would be more complex than normal. Saving jobs should have been priority to the point of first cutting administrative salaries; secondly freezing salaries; and lastly using reserve and layoffs to balance the budget. The Central Office is quite "top heavy" and so many of the salaries (mostly 6 figure)are inflated...without the reponsibility to match. The teachers create the backbone of the District. Fewer teachers should result in fewer professional and administrative positions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12509286.post-67769158356927511572008-09-10T08:52:00.000-05:002008-09-10T08:52:00.000-05:00Anon 8:49,You are correct, the answer is no.Anon 8:49,<BR/><BR/>You are correct, the answer is no.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12509286.post-13638874941947812272008-09-10T08:49:00.000-05:002008-09-10T08:49:00.000-05:00I have an idea: Recruit new police officers from t...I have an idea:<BR/><BR/> Recruit new police officers from the ranks of disgruntled laid off teachers, then put em back in their former haunts as 'school safety officers' or whatever the term is.<BR/><BR/>They've earned a degree of payback on the miscreant non learners, no?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
