SAN DIEGO — Raising their signs and their voices, teachers and otheremployees rallied Tuesday, speaking out against hundreds of impending layoffs.
"We are out here to fight because the Board of Trustees unanimously voted to issue pink slips to our educators," said Lisa Morris, who teaches TK and kindergarten. "I was devastated," he told CBS 8."This is my community.. I work in my community school, I live in North Park, work in a North Park school. To get that was devastating."
"The morale is really low right now," said Andrew Alcala, an English teacher at Crawford High School. "Not only does it de-stabilize schools, it breaks up communities," said Morris,"It makes teachers feel vulnerable, and it's going to make them want to go work in other districts." In a statement, the SDUSD school board president said that"As a district, we are committed to balancing our budget without significant impacts to students and school sites," adding that these potential staff reductions are the result of losing Covid relief funds, declining enrollment and decreased state revenue projections.
