CLT to lay off teachers

The image “http://tbn3.google.com/images?q=tbn:s90DK7Ns5q3kNM:http://www.plcmc.org/about_us/images/CMS-logo2.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors. Today's Charlotte Observer reports that city's school district may lay off 1,200 workers, including 350 teaching positions.

And consider this quote:

Mary McCray, president of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Association of Educators, said she was dismayed by talk of pay cuts. Teachers already struggle to make 10 months' pay cover a year of expenses, she said. But she supports the effort to protect jobs.

“There are no jobs out there,” she said. “You're caught between a rock and a hard place.”

What other districts will be next?
