Dire

400 out of work teachers in Guilford County? If that's not a dire situation, I don't know what is. We as a county, we as a state are in serious trouble.

CBS-2:

First the furloughs, then salary cuts, and now a state house budget proposal that teachers warn is the worst so far.

"The house budget is just absolutely horrifying," says Guilford County Association of Educators president Mark Jewell. "What that does is cut... not only 6,000 teaching positions, it also eliminates about 4,000 teacher assistant positions."

Jewell predicts as many as 400 teachers could lose their jobs in the district. "We just can't take another hit," says Jewell. "And there comes a time when you have to say enough is enough."
