From what I read,
there is some sort of policy (not sure if its union or govt) that requires the teaches to be given advanced notice if they will be laid off. The deadline for this notice is 3/1. The mayor knows there will need to be layoffs however they dont know who, so in order to be in line with the policy, they sent pink slips to everyone. That doesnt mean they will all be laid off, its just a blanket order. I would compare this to a public company announcing that they plan to lay off in the coming year and details are being worked out. Happens all the time.
