Board Decides to Rescind Some Pink Slips

(posted 4/16/09) At tonight's board meeting the the board approved Resolution 2009-04. This item was recommended by the superintendent and passed unanimously. This resolution will result in at least 17 teachers having their layoff notices rescinded. Additionally, because of the complex way in which the number of layoff notices were calculated in March, the actual number of teachers whose layoff notices may be rescinded could be much higher. I spoke with Rodger Smith and his intention is to have rescission documents out to the affected people by Monday or Tuesday (4/20 or 4/21). This is good news; hopefully we will have more such announcements soon.
