Teachers getting laid off is becoming an issue

The California school system has a huge payroll of teachers, but a big amount of lay-offs coming as well. The argument posed in this article is that "the state should consider alternatives to seniority-based layoffs, according to a report from the state legislative analyst's office." Meaning that the L.A. unified school district should pay attention to the details of sending out those pink slips. There is a deadline that has to be reached when sending out the pink slips, and that is what the argument is mostly about. A report says purposes that the deadline be pushed back because to June 1st because that would be more consistent with the budget cycle. Basing the process off of seniority would make the hiring easier. They would be choosing to hire someone who closes to losing their job. Another huge process of the teachers getting laid off would be measuring their abilities. AN opposing argument to this case is stated by John Deasy, he says that "'last hired, first fired' would not be the only consideration during budget crises.
