The San Diego Unified School board voted unanimously on Tuesday in favor of major layoffs.
The layoffs come as the district faces a $93.7 million budget shortfall. With the vote comes the start of a reduction in the number of educators, bus drivers, food service workers and administrators--more than 430 of them.
“We already lost a teacher earlier this year and my class was the one to be eliminated. Many classmates and I all had to go to different classes," a student told the district.
More than 19 people including students, parents, school administrators and labor leaders took to the podium Tuesday during the district board meeting.
