she told me that they fired 15 teachers + all the lunch aids on the 1st day of school because they had to cut $1 million from their budget to send to Hurricane Katrina victims.
anyone buying this story?? I’m not!
ETA: I am not accusing my sister of lying.... she has nothing to gain by making this up.

I would think that would make the news if it did happen.

What district? Is it a public school? The union would never allow that! I work in an elementary school in Astoria, Queens.

it's a public school. That's the story they told them on the 1st day. I think it's BS and that they mismanaged the budget!

Was she working there long? They must have moved her to another school, right? The union would never allow that. What did her chapter leader do/ say?

she has tenure. they didn't fire her, they fired 15 brand new teachers before their classes even started! and the lunch aids too.

It just doesn't sound right. I have not heard about anything like that and each school does not budget monies for charity. They are given a certain allotment spending on how many students there are. Where in Queens?

Doesn't sound right to me.
Wonder what the UFT rep had to say.
DC 37 has a no layoff in their contract so the school aids had to be put somewhere else.
Wonder who is watching the kids at lunch time.
