Tucson Citizen: The big debate: Layoff notices at TUSD

‘I do not understand why teachers have not yet stormed the state capitol. They should be . . . throwing rocks through the windows to get (Gov.) Jan Brewer’s attention.’ – Franklin

The story: Anticipating a large cut in funding from our deficit-plagued state, Tucson Unified School District says it will notify 560 employees, most of them untenured teachers, that they might be laid off at the end of the school year. Some of the employees likely will be called back to work, but many won’t.
