Ventura Schools Lay Off 45, Protests Erupt

Published 2 weeks, 6 days ago
Description

Ventura, California educators protest as school board approves layoffs of over forty-five full-time positions, targeting teachers, psychologists, custodians, and early childhood special education staff amid a budget shortfall. The move aims to save between three and four million dollars, but teachers and staff worry it will stretch classrooms thinner and disrupt vital early intervention services for students with special needs. Board leaders call it necessary, while union members describe the impact as devastating. Negotiations for pay, benefits, and health care are ongoing, with tensions high and an impasse looming.
