Ive been looking at this topic for the past few days and I finally have to say something. It is really hard for me to understand why so many teachers and coaches are losing their jobs. These are the people who spend a great deal of time with our youth guiding and directing them. Teaching them to do their best and not to give up when times get rough. These are in my opinion 2 of the most important lessons anyone can learn. With all the cuts going on, what is this saying to the seniors this year and to those who graduated last year who plan to become future teachers and coaches.

these folks don't have to be laid off, they'd just have to work without pay, or their co-workers would have to take pay cuts to make room under the new budget constraints. i completely agree with you that its a travesty, and without turning this into a political thread suffice it to say that our illustrious leaders are to blame for lack of financing to keep them on.

just heard on the news that lumberton is going to possibly be letting 40 teachers go. Class sizes going on and this can't be good for teachers / coaches/ or students

Lumberton will be laying off over 70 teachers total..

Wonder if the Lumberton head baseball coach will be one of them. It would be ashame since I hear he is so loved and highly respected in the Lumberton area.

Not to mention he is a Science teacher. How many coaches do you know that are science teachers? Aren't too many. Hard to get rid of a guy when he fills a hole as a Science teacher and is also a solid ball coach.
[/quote]Lumberton will lay off somewhere close to 40 teachers and close to 30 Para-Professionals.
