WATSONVILLE -- Layoff notices will go out to about 130 Pajaro Valley teachers, assistant principals and counselors in March.
The Pajaro Valley Unified School District board of trustees approved the notices of potential layoffs Wednesday in a 4-2 vote.
The job cuts, which, if finalized, would be effective June 30, are the result of $8.5 million in spending reductions for next year and the loss of grants and other special funding.
The layoffs could be rescinded before the end of the school year if circumstances change, but the district is moving forward now to meet a state mandated deadline of March 15 for notifying teachers and other certificated staff of the potential job loss.
The largest group of teachers, 32, would be laid off due to the increase in class sizes in first and second grades, a cost-saving measure.
