Arizona schools chief warns that ‘massive layoffs’ of teachers possible due to budget troubles

Arizona schools chief warns that ‘massive layoffs’ of teachers possible due to budget troubles:

The article begins with:

"PHOENIX — Arizona faces the prospect of large-scale layoffs of school teachers next year due to the state’s budget problems, state Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Horne said.

He said the “massive layoffs” of teachers are possible even though school districts’ actual job cuts for the current school year fell short of reductions indicated by early layoff notices. The vast majority of those notices were rescinded, he said."

My comments:
This is the third article this week that I have seen about drastic measures that involve teachers in cuts and changes to working conditions as a result of budget cuts in the USA.

I will add links to articles about Hawaii and other states too.
