82 PEOPLE (WHO HAD RECEIVED PINK SLIPS FROM THE SANTA CRUZ CITY SCHOOLS DISTRICT) WILL BE REINSTATED. THAT’S WHAT THE BOARD DECIDED LAST NIGHT, BECAUSE 41 TEACHERS HAVE ACCEPTED EARLY RETIREMENT, AND OTHER TEACHERS AND COUNSELORS HAVE AGREED TO FURLOUGH DAYS (AND CHANGES IN THEIR MEDICAL BENEFITS). DISTRICT OFFICIALS SAID THEY HAD TO PLAN FOR THE WORST, BUT THEY ARE VERY HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO REINSTATE THOSE 82 EMPLOYEES.
