Board Approve Layoff Notices to Teaching, Bilingual Aides
Shrinking budget forces school district to move forward with releasing 23 full-time classified employees.
The Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District board on Tuesday decided to send layoff notices to about 23 full-time classified employees, including teaching and bilingual aides.
The positions that likely will be cut are currently paid via categorical funding from a variety of sources, officials said.
Trustees have sent similar layoff notices in years past and were able to rehire a majority of those employees. However, school officials do not anticipate they will receive the categorical funding needed next year to keep the positions due to the state's budget crisis.
Final layoff notices are scheduled to be sent out in May.

But yet I just read another article that states 'The Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District has gained $5.8 million after finalizing the sale of its south Livermore property'. Then it goes on to say 'School officials said the money from the deal can be used for facility improvements only'. This is just plain ridiculous!!
