Woodbridge Schools Facing 280 Layoffs Amidst Hard Times
By victor | Dated: 03-25-2010
Drastic changes could be in store at schools in Woodbridge Township, New Jersey under a “doomsday” budget being considered by the Board of Education.Woodbridge, forced to deal with a 33 percent cut in state aid, plans to layoff around 280 employees to help pare into the budget deficit. Additionally, taxes will be bumped up four percent and the majority of its surplus will be exhausted. While proposing the $182 million spending plan, Superintendent John Crowe said “there is nowhere to go with this budget.
“There are no more reductions to make,” Crowe said, according to the Star-Ledger. “This budget has to pass – and it will pass.”
There are a bundle of changes to be made if it does indeed pass. As a sampling, middle school and freshman athletics will be eliminated; custodial and food operations will be privatized; and 25 teachers would lose their jobs.
Overall the cuts total more than $12 million. The budget goes up for vote April 20.

What I liked about the service is that it had such a comprehensive collection of jobs! I was using a number of sites previously and this took up so much time, but in joining EmploymentCrossing, I was able to stop going from site to site and was able to find everything I needed on EmploymentCrossing.
