These layoffs are becoming common toward the end of school year. Some get their notices to return at the end of the year, others over the summer.

May not be what it seems...Teachers get a year's wages for working 9 months...In the past, they were all layed off at the end of the school year and all drew unemployment benefits for the next 3 months til being called back to work...

Yep. Looks like their heading in the right direction though by closing some of the schools up, but I’m guessing the majority of these ‘teachers’ will be returning next year.

That's exactly what's happened here.......I think the original writer is just trying to stir up the natives here in Detroit.

Providence RI high school teachers were all FIRED but must work out their contract which ends this school year. Note they were fired,not layed off. If they have no new contract prior to this summer ,they will remain fired thus no unemployment funds. They are a Race To The Top State and the dollars are being generously dispensed to achieve the federal, top down, REFORM.

There are federal tests which 27 states (so far) will be using that will correlate with Common Core curriculum. These test results will demonstrate VAST improvement created by the TRANSFORMATION. It will be a false improvement of course.
