How many administrators?
If they lay off all of the Literacy Specialists, who’s gonna read the Union Edicts to the rest of the teachers??
f’em they could have kept all their union brothers and sisters employed if they had made wage concessions but they refused. Nevada’s finances stink but the teachers are lost in a land of pretend where the taxpayers can and will pay anything

And nothing makes the other 75% happier than the exodus of the dead wood.
Pink slips tp the illegal alien kids would save some $$$ also...
Zeero.
You could get rid of 90% of the teachers, have classes sizes of 1,000 each, and grades wouldn’t suffer.
They’re all a waste of money, but teachers are worse because administrators aren’t protected by unions (ineffective ones can be tossed).
White phone for Harry Reid...Harry Reid...Harry Reid...just unbelievable!
they send out layoff letters, there's the typical moaning and groaning for the poor children...and then we find out that not one was really layed off.....
