LAUSD preparing teacher layoff

The Los Angeles Unified School District board voted Tuesday to send layoff notices to nearly 2,300 probationary teachers, although the district superintendent said the move might not lead to actual layoffs.George B. Sanchez in the Daily News.

Beginning this week, about one-third of probationary teachers - with the district for two years or less - will receive the notices that they could be laid off within two weeks.

The board action is part of an ongoing effort to bridge a $400 million budget gap.
