Recently, Governor Schwarzenegger announced a very large cut back in the education budget for the state to the tune of $4.8 billion. Many districts, expecting shortfalls in the millions of dollars have begun cuts and layoffs.
A reported 5,000 layoffs are expected to occur throughout the state this month, but not all teachers will receive layoff notification until early this summer. This has inspired many teachers statewide to fear the coming months and the potential job loss with little chance of rehire.
Rialto, has already sent notice to 305 teachers and are expecting to fall $23 million short in their budget next year as a result of many combined factors including: the governor’s budget cuts and ever-declining enrollment. The results of such cuts will remain to be seen, but in a state where teachers are already in short supply and classes are already large, 5,000 fewer teachers can only exacerbate an already volatile situation
