    They certainly should be. The unemployment numbers released Friday morning included well over half a million job losses in April in "local government education". State budgets are hemorrhaging money like we haven't seen in almost a century. Education budgets will be decimated over the next year.

This. Some states already have their budget for the year and are okay because the money is *already* there. But some work differently and are laying off staff, imposing pay cuts, etc. My state is one of the "we already have the money for this coming year's budget" kind. But next year? I fully expect that my spouse might lose her job. She's not a classroom teacher but out of 8 people in her department she has the second most seniority. That might save her job, we don't know. I'm a teacher also and have a ton of seniority in a high need area. I'll never lose my job unless the world ends. We could live on my salary if we had to, but obviously, would prefer not to.

Across the nation, tons of cuts are happening. Tons. Teachers taking 20% pay cuts, class sizes increasing, TA's being cut, etc. The one thing that is not happening? [b]Administration jobs aren't being cut. Typical. The one position that has the least positive effect on students and there's always plenty of those[/b].[/quote]

There's a lot of bloat at places like Syphax and Gatehouse. Those jobs should be the first to go.
