What do journalists and teachers have in common? No, not our good nature and wanting to help people. Layoffs. Forty editor and reporter positions were cut Friday at the Long Beach Press-Telegram, the Los Angeles Daily News and the Torrance Daily Breeze. And with the annoncement of the $4.8 billion cuts from education, some teachers will soon be out of jobs, Amanda Baumfeld reports.
Teachers need to be alerted by March 15 if theres any chance they could be laid off before the following school year. Most districts said they will be deciding this week the number of teachers that could be pink slipped.
Teachers all over the state are not happy with this situation, said Maryellen Daners, president of the Bassett Teachers Association. Everyone is wondering whats going to happen.
