Re: Rhode Island City - Pink Slips to ALL Teachers

From the article:

[quote]State law requires school departments to notify teachers by March 1 if they will be laid off the following school year. The notices do not mean that the teachers will lose their jobs, just that they could at the end of the year.[LEFT][COLOR=#000000][/quote] [/COLOR][/LEFT]

So what are you saying that Pink slips are good?

You're right they are probably just doing this for fun and games. :roll:

Homeschooling will be a great market in the USA.

they aint laid off yet

Re: Rhode Island City - Pink Slips to ALL Teachers

doesn't matter...in the past, most markets would send out layoff notices to a certain amount over what was expected to be laid off...which was still small in and of itself. Then re-hire most of them back, and a scant few didn't make the cut.

Now, because most cities are broke and their laws allocate so much with deadlines, Providence has taken the unprecedented measure of sending EVERYONE a layoff notice. Which throws up a huge uncertainty, because even if a few get laid off, no one knows where or who will get it.
