Teachers Concerned About Salary Cuts
Summary: About a hundred teachers have discussed the salary cut problem at a meeting on Tuesday. They met when the administrator in charge of finaces at the Temecula Valley Unifies School District is facing major budget cuts. To help cut the deficint, trustees agreed to lay off around 120 teachers, mainly elementary teachers. The president of the Temecula Valley Educators Association said if teachers are willing to give up on some of their salary, the number of days the children are in class could be reduced and they would have fewer meetings as well as paper work. "We don't want to lay anybody off," says school board President Bob Brown. "We're doing all we can to avoid a layoff. This is the process that has to take place. We don't like it." Projects are being created, such as an amount each student must pay to raise money to cut the lay-offs at their school.
