MORE BUDGET CUTS, 200 TEACHERS GONE OVER 3-YEARS

At their meeting on Tuesday night, the Mount Diabo Unified School District School Board voted to lay off nearly 200 teachers, and make about $4.5-million worth of cuts to special education over a period of three years.

Also at the meeting, the board discussed restructuring plans for Bel-Air, Shore Acres, Rio Vista and Glenbrook Middle School. Those schools have been determined to be some of the lowest achieving schools in the MDUSD.

A vote on the restructuring plans will be made later this month.
