At last night’s BOE meeting, Sal Corda reiterated that he was “almost positive” there were no teacher layoffs after the final budget reconciliation which occurred prior to the Common Council’s vote to add more money to the BOE funding.
This is a very important detail, because as of Tuesday’s Common Council meeting, there were still some, in positions to know better, who insisted on spreading the story that there were. Draconian, I believe was the word used. Ah yes, draconian in that instead of buying a Mercedes S-Class, they were forced to settle for the C-Class. Somewhere in all this political posturing no one bothered to say that they were still out buying a new car, when that serviceable 2006 model C-Class was still showing low miles.
