What was said
“June 30th we have a significant number of staff being laid off, we are going to pay out unemployment, and they are going to hopefully and very likely end up finding employment in other districts.”
“really irritates me when we say things like we're cutting staff when the data shows that staffing has gone up almost every year in the last 10 years.”
