Stockton Unified cuts force teachers to scramble Recordnet.com#STS=fzpnbumv.1n47#STS=fzpnbumv.1n47:

"Stockton Unified - San Joaquin County's largest school district with 38,000 students - opened this school year with about 1,900 permanent teachers. Last year, it had about 2,000. And after having laid off about 250 teachers, Stockton Unified could not simply rescind some of those layoffs to open school at the end of July with a sufficient force of permanent teachers.

There was a legally-mandated process to be followed."
