The San Francisco Board of Education announced that there is a projected $49 million budget hole for 08-09 due to state education budget cuts.

Layoff notices will be sent to 140 administrators and 395 teachers by March 15. President Sanchez noted that this would be 10% of the district’s teachers. But since many of the administrators who will receive layoff notices have seniority rights as teachers and principals, there will be a great deal of bumping of teachers and principals.

For teachers, the breakdown is:

173 elementary school teachers
124 middle school teachers
98 high school teachers

Those receiving layoff notices include:

-25 Elementary School Principals
-7 Middle School Principals
-12 High School Principals
-10 Assistant Elementary School Principals
-8 Assistant Middle School Principals
-19 Assistant High School Administrators
-5 Site Administrators for Child Development Centers
-16 Visual/Performing Art teachers for Star Schools
-4 Computer Technology Integration Specialists
-10 Reading Instructional Teachers
-29 Instructional Reform Facilitators
-1 Elementary Arts teacher
-1 Bilingual (Korean) Teacher
-5 Elementary Music teachers
-8 each of kindergarten, first and second grade teachers
-20 each of fourth and fifth grade teachers
-2 middle school art teacher
-17 each of middle school English teachers and social studies teachers
-20 each of 6th grade, 7th grade and 8th grade Language Arts/Social Studies Core
-26 high school English teachers
-33 high school Social Studies teachers
-5 high school art teachers
-2 continuation school teachers
-2 high school industrial art teachers
