Mr. Huff, I just realized that I may not have fully answered our question regarding layoffs. This year, we laid off 11 teachers based on our initial budget needs. We (the SC) did ask Admin to model additional layoff scenarios. Further layoffs beyond what we ended up doing were, in my view, bad for students because it would have resulted in too many core classes @ the secondary level with 30+ students (not good for teaching & learning), elimination of specialists at the elementary level (not good for students) the possibility of eliminating some AP classes (not good for students) and so forth. So my point is that while some may think that the committee avoids looking at things like this, we did look at it.
