Keep the teachers.
As for the “educators”... let ‘em freeze to death in the dark.
This means less revenue coming in to the coffers of the NEA!!!!
Fire half the school administrators.
LOL! Why is it that the bathrooms are always the first to go?
Won’t school end in the next few months? Just sayin’...
Welcome to the real world...
Oh? But the country's education secretary will be allowed to keep his I presume?
How about that guy who is in charge of teaching teachers how to teach children to engage in perverse sexual practices like "fisting"?
I suppose he'll keep his yob, right?
It’s about time!
Hmmmm . . . every cloud has a silver lining after all . . .
Most state govts and school districts used the porkulus to save jobs this past Fall. They were warned that Porkulus was a one time deal and not use it for payroll, but that’s what they and Obama wanted. Now a bigger butcher’s bill is coming due. Tax revenues have fallen and the folks are not in a mood to raise taxes. Duncan is quite correct and, save borrowing a lot more $$$ from the Chinese Reds, a very hard rain is gonna fall on a lot of educators.
It’s about time!
My wife just put in her notice not to renew her contract at this particular district. The bureaucracy and child like games of the administrators make it not worth it.
And this is supposed to be bad news how?
For individual teachers laid off, gather yourselves up and start a private school. It should be easy to compete with government run schools on service, and on the level of learning students can achive.
...got a hunch part of this warning is to fire up the education complex...they are a major powerbase of the Dems who know they’re in for a tough fight in November.
Good... and good riddance!
The vast majority have become nothing more than overpaid and ineffective babysitters.
EPIC FAIL...
“I am very, very concerned about layoffs going into the next school year starting in September. Good superintendents are going to start sending out pink slips in March and April, like a month from now, as they start to plan for their budgets,” said Arne Duncan
The economic stimulus package pushed last year by the administration of President Barack Obama and approved by Congress saved at least 320,000 education jobs, Duncan told the governors.
The plan included the largest transfer of money from the U.S. government to states in the nation’s history, according to the Pew Center on the States.
It created a stabilization fund of $48 billion that provided cash directly to states, mostly for schools. But those funds will likely run out before the end of the year.
Duncan said the $1.5 billion “Race to the Top” grants included in the stimulus plan are on track to be distributed soon, with the finalists for the grants announced next week.
Obama has proposed extending the program, as well as expanding it by $3 billion, to fund new education innovations
In January, there were 8.03 million workers in local government education, down from 8.09 million a year before and 8.05 million in January 2008, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Bad economies in states to worsen: governors

Democrats worried about Obama track record...
Gee, I guess Willie CCClintoon’s chickens are coming home to roost. He had several programs $1 billion for 100 thousand (fill in the blank). The blank was teachers, police, firefighters. In short, any municipality which put a new teacher, police officer or firefighters on the payroll received $10,000.00. The taxpayers of that municipality picked up the difference between that amount and the salary of the teacher, police officer or firefighter. Move forward about 12 years of such deficits and you have the deceitful B. Hussin Obama “saving” their jobs with federal tax dollars. It’s time we realize we cannot afford those 300,000 jobs CCClintoon “created” and let them go the way of the dinosaurs.
