Here's a roundup of recent and upcoming school district layoffs, made inevitable by the structural deficit caused by Texas' Republican Legislature:
Westwood ISD in Palestine, TX lays off an undisclosed number of teachers.
Lumberton ISD notifies teachers of layoffs.
Marshall ISD considers layoffs.
Irving ISD will vote on Monday on a list of teachers and staff to layoff. 110 teachers and 19 other employees took advantage of a $1000 offer to retire or resign.
Denton ISD begins the process of terminating 102 district employees. An additional 130 positions were eliminated due to vacancies, retirements and resignations. The terminated employees are all under probationary contracts (such as first year teachers.) An early resignation/retirement bonus of 15% of base salary was offered and taken by 64 employees.
45 employees, mostly teachers, receive layoff notices in LaMarque ISD.
Leander ISD to terminate 213 first year teachers to try and close a $29 million district shortfall out of a total budget of $244 million. Leander ISD is the third largest school district in central Texas. 141 central office employees under contract had their jobs eliminated and they will be reassigned to the classroom.
Hays CISD proposes cutting 31 classroom teachers, 51 out of classroom teaching positions, 18 instructional strategists, 18 campus technologists, 16 interventionists, 15 custodians, 2 attendance officers, and 5.5 central office positions.
Cleburne ISD meets Monday to finalize staff cuts. Teachers, administrators, cafeteria workers, maintenance staff and instructional assistants are on the termination list.
The Alto ISD school board will determine next week who will be affected by their reduction in force.

FBISD just dumped HALF the middleschool ELA teachers, and ELA will be one period, not two, starting next year.
THIS WILL NOT STAND.

Oh, Elena, I am so sorry! I watch FBISD closely, and went to one of their community budget meetings. My kids are products of FBISD schools. Very sad.
Katy ISD part of the letter dated 4/4/11 sent to all their staff by Alton Fraily.
Due to these legal requirements, the district will begin the process of notifying employees regarding their job status later this week. In this initial reduction, we project cutting approximately 500 contracted personnel.
