LOS ANGELES (KTLA) — The fate of some 200 L.A. Unified school employees is in question today, as the school board gets ready to vote on a new budget proposal.
Members of the teachers union planned to rally outside LAUSD headquarters Tuesday morning in advance of the vote.
At issue is the fate of 208 LAUSD employees who are psychiatric workers, psychologists, counselors and librarians.
The teacher’s union, many parents and others are saying that, if the employees lose their jobs, school safety may be at stake.
But LAUSD Superintendent John Deasy says that the talk of cuts is misleading, because the school board isn’t actually laying off anyone.
“These are notices that there may be cuts if local schools don’t hire them,” Deasy explained.
“The money is in local school budgets. The union for years has strongly supported that schools have the right to hire with their local funds,” he said.
“We are waiting for local schools to make that decision. If they don’t make that decision, then that position may be lost, and they may hire something else.”
“But the schools have to purchase the positions,” LAUSD psychiatric worker John Paul Cabrera countered.
“It’s either your all for the safety of our schools or you’re not. You can’t just pass the buck to the schools which are struggling to make it financially,” he said.
Cabrera said he plans to talk to the school board about supporting the 208 positions and making sure they are not given layoff notices.
The school board plans to take up the issue on Tuesday afternoon. Before they do, there will be some time for public comment.

Right To Work States = Can fire you just because without a cause..
All Unions aren't bad. wake up.
February 12, 2013 at 2:28 PM
All states are "at-will" states, including California, and can fire you without cause. It's not just right to work states.
Unions in the private sector are an integral part of society, but public sector unions are just a giant oppressive force who suck the lifeblood from the economy. Even FDR and George Meany thought so.

So long as they FIRE the pedophiles instead of just recycling them to unsuspecting schools where background checks are an absolute joke the children could be much safer with less personnel actually.

Did the Californians just agree to pay more under Prop 30 to go to education? I'm either confused or Jerry Brown lied! Please clarify.
February 12, 2013 at 10:31 AM
Jerry Brown LIED of course. He lies about everything! I can't understand why he has not been recalled yet, or why he was even voted in again when he failed Ca. miserably the first time he was Governor! Isn't Ca. convinced what a criminal this man is yet? Recall him NOW!
February 12, 2013 at 2:05 PM
For what it's worth, Brown is one of the least crooked politicians in California…

My friends in USA, I had a uncle that passed away and left me $8,345,813.88 in US currency. I cant deposit it in my bank here in my country Algeria. If you help me, I will give you half of all proceeds to be deposited into your account of your choice. Just email me your name, phone #, Social Security number and a credit card number because it will cost me $25.00 to deposit to your bank. Thank you and God bless you so much.
February 12, 2013 at 10:28 AM
I'm very interested. Please post your contact information, such as name, email, phone and fax numbers, bank acct info., SS number (do you have SS number in Algeria, or do you use the size of your nose?)

February 12, 2013 at 1:16 PM
Didn't we just vote to raise taxes to save schools from more cuts? Prop 30 ring a bell? Gee, did the politicians lie again and the voters believed them…….hmmmmm I am seeing a trend.

Giving money to LAUSD is like giving money to Lindsay Lohan….
February 12, 2013 at 3:26 PM
So much for Jerry Brown's "promises" for creating jobs and better edcation for Californians. Brown really suckers them in with his bogus propositions. He really needs to set some of that money aside for the next time he needs to bribe the people living in this country illegally to vote for him and his bogus propositions so he can continue to suck money out of tax payers to pay for his muti million dollar homes and parties with his LA and Mexico cronies.
February 12, 2013 at 8:16 PM
Better yet voting for Jerry Brown propositions is like giving money to Lindsay Lohan.
