The interesting thing about these "reductions" is many of them still have rights to positions (certified staff). So an administrator who was previously in the district as a teacher or one that has been in the district for more than four years has rights to a teaching position. The except is if the administrator has a multi-year contract, which usually only applies to a superintendent. So the real questions because how much are they really reducing as many of these people have been in the district for more than four years.

"My understanding (I am still researching this) is that more folks were laid off but they were asked to resign first. More to come on this."

That's the go to move for scummy employers to get out of paying unemployment. Which tracks for D65.

Just looked at the layoff list. I don’t like to see someone lose their job, but a Director of Principal Support and Strategy?!! Earning 150k?!?!

What in the world did that position do? Sounds like a Horton creation. There are like, what, 15 principals in the district?!? We need someone to direct and strategize for them?

I hope that job is one they are not going to refill!
