The Signal - Santa Clarita Valley News - School workers hit hard:
"While many Santa Clarita Valley teachers saw their jobs saved by federal stimulus money, school classified employees — including clerks, instructional aides and custodians — have been hit hard by layoffs and pay cuts, officials said last week.
“We have to balance our budgets, but the state doesn’t have to balance theirs,” said Pam Castagna, president of the California School Employees Association Chapter 349, which represents more than 700 non-teaching employees at the William S. Hart Union High School District."
