New Jersey School District Loses 80 Educators
Education Related News
The recent jobs numbers showed particularly heavy losses among government workers and particularly teachers. West Orange, N.J., has laid off around 80 educators, nearly 10 percent of the total staff. The district is increasing class sizes and cutting back on electives. The federal education jobs bill has not reached districts like West Orange, and many schools say they will hold onto that money until next year, which promises to be even worse.
