Dallas School District Laying Off 550 Teachers

http://www.nbc5i.com/education/17604...l?dl=mainclick

I'm surprised that I haven't seen anything about this nationally. The Dallas School District (referred to as DISD) is $84 million in debt. Their solution: fire 550 teachers to save money.

Oh, the superintendent is doing his part. He is taking a 5% pay cut from his salary. It equals to $17,000 of his 6 figure income.
