Over 19,000 layoff notices were given to teachers throughout the state of California, a state that has seen periods of crisis similar to such before. An Educational cut of this magnitude will effect classrooms throughout the state substantially.
"These current cuts are sure to push us further down the scale. Our future depends on our ability to prepare the next generation for success in the hyper-competitive global economy. The budget crisis and the teacher layoffs we are now witnessing makes that challenge much, much harder. In order to deliver the quality education our students need we must get off this budget roller coaster and find a stable, long-term solution to education funding. Our future depends on it."
Jack O'Connell- State Superintendent of Public Instruction
We, the undersigned, call on the Governor of the State of California to keep the teachers that recieved notices to be layed off or reduce the numbers of those to be layed off by 80%-90%. Do not destroy this State's future through education. Keep California educated. Keep the educators!
