In The Cities-Helping-Schools Department
The San Francisco Chronicle reports today that San Francisco Unified is rescinding every single one of the 535 teacher layoff notices it issued in March, thanks to the city's Board of Supervisors pledging to give the district up to $20 million to help ease the strain of the state-induced budget issues affecting almost every school system in California.
Reporter Jill Tucker writes: "The supervisors voted 11-0 Tuesday afternoon to approve a resolution promising the money from the city's rainy day fund. The official transfer of funds can't happen until the city passes its annual budget in June."
