FYI - Layoffs were announced last week in my school district. 335 teachers were told they would not have jobs next year.
Fortunately, I was not one of the ones laid off. Unfortunately, I was told that I would have a job for '11-'12 school year, but probably not for year '12-'13.
We were also told that an additional $30-35 million would have to be trimmed out of the '12-'13 school year budget. That is on top of the $25 million that was taken out of next year's budget.
Rick Perry campaigned for governor with the slogan that "Texas is open for business." We're wanting to make bumper stickers that say "Rick Perry's Texas: Open for business, closed for schools".
