Hundreds of San Diego Unified School District employees could be out of a job after this school year. On Tuesday, the district's school board will vote on whether to approve the equivalent of more than 400 layoffs, from elementary school teachers to special education to campus police, as well as support staff. These possible layoffs come as the district is facing a nearly $94 million budget shortfall, and federal COVID relief funds are coming to an end. "These layoffs are not necessary," said Kyle Weinberg, a middle-school special education teacher, as well as the president of the union representing the district's teachers. "We cannot afford as a district to be cutting positions when we should be looking at how we can make our schools as strong as possible," Weinberg said. The district is eyeing the possible elimination of the equivalent of more than 430 positions, including 94 teachers, 21 central office administrators, five associate principals and one principal, as well as hundreds of other jobs, from bus drivers and food service workers to behavioral support specialists and special ed staff.
