Actually, there will be layoffs not liuawsts. As long as the teachers believe that they can’t be touched, they have no reason to step up and face reality. Most districts have hacked away at everything but staff and staff compensation because of the ridiculous contracts they’ve agreed to (generally under duress). Now that the state can’t keep adding money to the comp pot, districts have been forced to acknowledge the reality that they cannot afford to pay the increases in compensation (salaries + annual health care increase) for their entire staff. A wage freeze would have fixed most of the gap, but the teachers would rather throw a few of their own over the side rather than admit that they overreached in their last negotiation. Time to drive the point home by bringing the property tax levy increase down to a reasonable level one to two percent, and let the BOE and REA work out where/how they cuts can be implemented.
