Layoff package goes to trustees - SignOnSanDiego.com:

"VISTA — Vista school administrators are proposing to eliminate more than 165 teaching positions to help close a gaping $18.3 million deficit for fiscal 2010-11, according to a staff report that will be presented to trustees.

The cuts, which will be up for a school board vote Thursday, appear to be on top of the planned layoff in mid-June of 61 temporary teachers and counselors on one-year contracts, as well as 34 part-time teachers. Friday was a holiday for the Vista Unified School District, so administrators were unavailable for comment.

Thursday’s school board meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. in the multipurpose room at Foothill-Oaks Elementary School, 1370 Oak Drive in Vista."
