Cut in School Jobs

Well it seems that California is getting worse... We all know we dont have a state budget (yet) and now this week my school district, Pomona Unified, has approved and passed out pink slips to 645 certificated people. This effected 8 of our staff at my school. The PINK slips mean that there might not be a position available for them next year...Like you would sit around and wait and see...Some of our people have been there 10 years or more...and we lost 2 last year and 2 the year before because of the cuts.
What is the district thinking? I still say they are not being accountable for their spending,,, we certainly arent seeing money come down to our school.
Why not cancel the contracted out service type people first, bus services and cut some of the district higher up positions. What ever happened to giving what we call alluimiun hand shakes...if a person is willing to retire to safe a position...
And they say the classroom will all probably be combo and up to 35...You cant teacher effectively in those conditions...Our children education is being thrown out the window for the all might $.....
