SO many schools are firing teachers. How are your districts handling layoffs?

Yes. And it's "UNPRECEDENTED!"Is defunding the new catchphrase?
Huh....I think Jimmy carter started the defunding process....which is how Reagan was elected...he was the king of defunding.....ketchup vs veggies in school lunches.Yes. And it's "UNPRECEDENTED!"

That was 40 years ago!Carter did not defund education. He was instrumental in creating the DOE and funding the department. Reagan began cutting funding almost immediately once he was in office.
That's the nature of politics these days. Politicians of both parties, and at all levels, have learned that they just need to have some answer to questions like this and the problem will go away.There's an alarming amount of magical thinking on all levels right now as everyone continues operating on the assumption that the feds will come through with a bailout, even though there's been absolutely no signals of such from any of the players that would have to be involved in making it happen. Not sure what is going to happen when (if) that bailout doesn't come through, the per pupil cut is larger than anticipated, and schools have to figure out where to cut millions mid-year.
I’m not the OP but this is for NJ.
