Every year in the springtime teachers, or a certain percentage of teachers get notified of layoffs pending the outcome of certifying budgets for the next fiscal year. Notifying all of them would more than likely be a ploy to strike at thier collective bargaining strength, which coincidently has been affirmed by the federal courts many times, trying to get the teachers union to give back. Teachers unions historically are the only unions, within various municipalities, never to give up anything in thier contracts knowing full-well that town meetings always vote the school budgets in without question. The teachers know this and leave thier other departments to fight over the scraps.
