Thousands of Los Angeles teachers and other employees could be laid off before the end of the school year.
Superintendent Ramon Cortines said Tuesday the Los Angeles Unified School District faces bankruptcy if it can't cut staff amid a $250 million budget deficit. Cortines says at least 2,000 untenured teachers who have taught for less than two years and are still on probation could lose their jobs if the state Legislature can't find funds to close the gap.
Officials say administrators could also lose their jobs or be reassigned to schools and classrooms.
The layoffs would take effect in March and would likely increase class sizes.
