U-T San Diego (4/26, Magee) reports that as part of a "massive personnel reduction" necessitated by state budget cuts, the "San Diego school board voted to eliminate nearly 1,000 nonteaching positions Tuesday night over the familiar protests of parents, teachers and others who have grown frustrated with budget cuts they say will give students a substandard education in an unsafe environment." The piece notes that over 1,000 teachers are also set to be laid off next year. "Hundreds of employees, parents and students staged a rally outside the district's University Heights headquarters to protest the cuts."
KNSD-TV San Diego (4/26, Tevrizian) reports on its website that the board took the action over "protests from teachers, parents and counselors," noting that 150 pre-K teachers are also slated for layoffs. "It means class size could go up to 40, maybe even more students in some classes. Grades 4 through 8 and pre-Kindergarten education may be gutted altogether."
KSWB-TV San Diego (4/26) reports on its website, "Parents and teachers rallied Tuesday to save the preschool program within the San Diego Unified School District after 150 teachers received pink slips," noting that the "layoff notices that could end preschool programs in the district."
